Concurrent Validity of a Group Administered Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test

Perry R. Childers

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Previous researchers having established the equivalence of a group administered version of the PPVT with the standard procedure of individual administration and the reliability between alternate forms of the PPVT, an attempt was made to establish the concurrent validity of a group administered version of the PPVT in terms of two criterion variables. An r of .62 was obtained between the Otis, a group test of intelligence, and the PPVT. An r of .55 was found between the PPVT and the Stanford Achievement Test. Both r’s were significant beyond the .01 level. The concurrent validity of the PPVT was established and suggestions for additional research were made.
