We used data from 214 children (M age at Time 1 [T1] = 73 months) to test whether social functioning (e.g.,…

The central goal of this longitudinal study was to develop a laboratory-based index of children's covert cheating behavior that distinguished normative rule violations from those that signal risk for antisocial behavior. Participants (N = 215 children) were drawn from a community population and oversampled for externalizing behavior problems…

Dykens, E.; Schwenk, K.; Maxwell, M.; Myatt, B. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2007
Background: Measuring the self-perceptions, thoughts, hopes and inner lives of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) has long been a research challenge. Unlike objective or projective tests, semi-projective tasks may provide persons with ID with just enough structure or cues to convey their self-perceptions in a spontaneous and unbiased…
