THE USE OF SOCIOMETRY AS AN IDENTIFIER OF RESEARCH SAMPLE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT AND QUANTIFIER OF CHANGE AMONG SECOND GRADE STUDENTS
Keywords:
STUDENTSAbstract
During recent years the field of applied psychology has been roundly criticized for its lack of rigorous, quantifiable measurement. Most specifically, the psychological treatment of children has been challenged by Eysenck (1952), Levitt (1963, 1957) and others to demonstrate its merit and control for spontaneous remission of symptomatology.
