One of the biggest reasons for revisions of the GDO was to increase the validity and reliability of the test. Original versions based their sampling off of a small group of Caucasian, middle class children (Dalton, 2005; Guddemi et al, 20142; Gesell, 1925) resulting in high criticism. The Gesell Institute made an effort to make the findings of the GDO-R more generalizable. The following information concerning sampling, reliability and validity are based primarily on the findings by the Gesell…

Ryan (2001) found that students’ academic levels were similar to group’s academic levels with the correlations…

Vince Lombardi once asked “If it doesn 't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?” Scoring points is a major factor in winning a football game, but stopping the opposing team from scoring helps too. So you might simply ask, just how important is scoring points versus the amount of points that a team allows to be scored on them? Here the correlation between three variables will be examined to come to a consensus of whether the points scored or points allowed correlates with the…
