✦ Synopsis

Investigated the relationship of WISC-R, P > V sign and cognitive defense style to juvenile recidivism. Sixty-eight male juvenile recidivists and 68 nonrecidivists were administered the WISC-R and Byrne's R-S scale as part of a standard diagnostic battery. Although recidivists were found to have significantly higher P > V differences than non-recidivists, presence of P > V sign did not distinguish recidivists from non-recidivists. While recidivists were found to be significantly more sensitizing than non-recidivists, R-S scores were not found to be related to magnitude of P > V sign. Two separate classes of behaviors were suggested as increasing the probability of recidivism.

Numerous authors have established the characteristic P > V sign for delinquents

Comparisons of the WISC-R and WAIS-R were made in a sample of male delinquents (N = 80) to determine whether they would show differences in the degree to which the P > V sign occurred on them. A larger split between mean Verbal and mean Performance IQ was found on the WISC-R than on the WAIS-R. Freq
