A Comparison of Partial and Complete Paired Comparisons in Sociometric Measurement of Preschool Groups

Cohen, Allan S.; Van Tassel, Elizabeth

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2, 1, 31-40, W 78

The reliabilities of two sociometric tests were compared when administered to three and four-year olds. The full-rank order instrument, the Paired-Comparisons Sociometric Test (PCST), was found to have greater test-retest reliability than the partial-rank order test, the Picture Sociometric Interview (PSI).
