Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of resistance, or non-compliance, in young children during psychological testing on the resulting intelligence test scores. The author selected 100 three-year-olds, 50 boys and 50 girls, to analyze the phenomenon from different angles and perspectives. T…he author first administered the Kuhlmann-Binet and Merrill-Palmer scales, commonly used intelligence tests for young children, to each child on two to four successive days. The child's responses to each test were recorded, and resistance was defined as any form of behavior other than attempting the test within 30 seconds of it being presented. The author calculated three resistance scores for each child: General Resistance Score, Initial Resistance Score, and Subsequent Resistance Score. Detailed analysis revealed that the group of children was consistently less resistant to the Merrill-Palmer tests than to the tests of the Kuhlmann-Binet scale. Boys and girls showed no significant difference in the amount of resistance. After categorizing the tests according to difficulty, the author found a slight but consistent tendency for the children to more frequently refuse the more difficult tests. The author found that resistance had a negative impact on intelligence test scores. Of those children who initially resisted one or more tests but eventually accepted all tests, 25 out of 96 showed an increase in intelligence quotient from first to final presentation of the Kuhlmann-Binet tests. When the same children were tested using the Merrill-Palmer scale, only five showed a similar increase in intelligence quotient points. The mean intelligence quotient of the non-resistant children considerably exceeded the mean intelligence quotient of the resistant children on both scales.
