dc.description.abstractThe relationship between the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) and the Minnesota Child Development Inventory (MCDI) was examined in a clinical sample of preschool-aged children by means of canonical correlation, redundancy analysis and multiple regression. The relationship between adaptive behaviour and intelligence was also considered by relating the VABS and the MCDI to each of four intelligence tests, and to a composite intelligence estimate derived from combined information obtained from comparable intelligence tests in this sample. There was a strong relationship between the VABS and the MCDI. The MCDI scales accounted for 43.6% of the variance in the VABS domains and the VABS domains accounted for 39.88% of the variance in the MCDI scales. All of the MCDI scales except the Personal Social scale contributed to the variance accounted for on each of the VABS domains in multiple regression analyses where each VABS domain was a separate criterion measure. The hypothesized moderate relationship between adaptive behaviour and intelligence was confirmed. The composite intelligence estimate and each tests' composite were related to the VABS. With the exception of the Stanford-Binet 1972 edition IQ and the Stanford-Binet IV Composite, these measures were also related to the MCDI.
