PIC profiles for learning-disabled and behavior-disordered children.

D S Goh, J J Cody, S J Dollinger

    Journal of Clinical Psychology
    |May 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Personality Inventory of Children (PIC) effectively differentiates learning-disabled and behavior-disordered children, particularly on cognitive and conduct scales. Some overlap exists within the Internalization factor, showing unique patterns for each group.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Psychology
    • Psychometric Assessment
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for differentiating between learning disabilities and behavioral disorders in children.
    • The Personality Inventory of Children (PIC) is a recently developed instrument requiring validation for specific child populations.
    • Understanding the distinct psychological profiles of learning-disabled and behavior-disordered children aids in targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the discriminant validity of the Personality Inventory of Children (PIC).
    • To determine if the PIC can effectively differentiate between children with learning disabilities and those with behavioral disorders.
    • To explore specific PIC subscales and factors that best distinguish these two child populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Profile analysis was employed to compare the performance patterns of the two groups.
    • Stepwise discriminant analysis was used to identify the most effective PIC scales for group differentiation.
    • Sixty children, comprising both learning-disabled and behavior-disordered groups, participated in the study.

    Main Results:

    • Significant differentiation was achieved between learning-disabled and behavior-disordered children using the PIC.
    • The Cognitive Development and Conduct Disorder factors of the PIC showed strong discriminatory power.
    • The Internalization factor demonstrated less clear differentiation, with a notable interaction between diagnosis and specific scales (e.g., Somatic Concern).

    Conclusions:

    • The PIC demonstrates good discriminant validity for distinguishing between learning-disabled and behavior-disordered children.
    • Specific PIC scales related to cognitive development and conduct are highly effective for differential diagnosis.
    • Further investigation into the nuances of the Internalization factor is warranted to refine assessment for these populations.
