Desempenho de crianças e adolescentes não pacientes no Zulliger SC

Abstract

Performance of Non-Patient Children and Adolescents in Zulliger SC This article presents and compares the performance of children in the Zulliger Comprehensive System (ZSC) according to age. A sample of 304 children of both sexes, from 7 to 14 years of age, attending public and private schools, were evaluated by ZSC, considering 70 variables of the test. Data analysis incorporated descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA (Tukey post hoc test), t Student test and Cohen's test. The results showed significant differences that allowed sample division into three groups. Eleven variables showed significant differences between groups with moderate to large effect sizes. The most evident aspect was the developmental cognitive evolution, corroborating findings in the literature. The data showed that ZSC is a valid instrument for psychological evaluation of the studied age group.
