Andrew, June M. – Criminal Justice and Behavior, 1980

Erikson's theory of prosocial development and Marcia's ego identity status concept were supported. Coping with the…

Walker, Richard N. – Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 1992
A test battery that corresponded to the Gesell Developmental Assessment (GDA) was given to 400 4-6 year olds. A truncated version of the GDA had moderate reliability and predictive power. Experienced judges sometimes differed in their assessments of a child's developmental level and recommendations for grade placement. (GLR)
