Correlation between developmental quotients (DASII) and social quotient (Malin's VSMS) in Indian children aged 6 months to 2 years

AIM: To determine correlation between developmental quotients (DQ) (DASII) and social quotients (SQ) (Malin's Vineland Social Maturity Scale (VSMS)). METHODS: Malin's VSMS and DASII were done in 135 children aged 6 months to 2 years. SQ and DQ motor and mental were correlated using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). Mean SQ and DQ and age equivalent scores were compared. RESULTS: Correlation coefficients between SQ and DQ (mental and motor were 0.849 and 0.791, respectively. Social age correlated highly with mental age (r = 0.906). Mean SQ was higher than mean DQa. CONCLUSION: SQ tends to be higher than DQ and correlates best with DQ mental.
