Another study was made by Richard E. Thompson '52, which he submitted as his Senior Honors thesis in the Department of Social Relations. Thompson established the SPT as a valid instrument for distinguishing among children already showing behavioral difficulties, those who are true delinquents from those whose maladapted behavior is temporary.
