N2  - Scores on the Children's Personality Questionnaire (CPO) were correlated with ratings on the Devereux Elementary School Behavior Rating Scale (DESB). Three judges matched scales from the two instruments that appeared to measure the same behavior. For about one-third of these matches significant correlations in the predicted direction were found. Of the 156 possible correlations between CPQ factors and DESB scales 50 reaches significance. The results contradict those of a similar investigation (Willis & Sevmour, 1978), whose methodology is questioned. The correlations found in the present study provide limited support for the validity of CPQ factors.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
