​Sociometry is a tool to measure child’s​

Correct option is D

Sociometry is indeed a tool that measures both relationship with peers and can also help in identifying behavioral problems. Although its primary use is to assess how children relate to their peers, it can also provide insights into social dynamics that might highlight behavioral issues or difficulties in forming relationships, which can be linked to behavior problems.

Information Booster:

• Sociometry was developed by Jacob L. Moreno to measure social relationships within a group. It typically involves asking children to select peers they like or dislike in different scenarios (such as who they want to play with or sit next to). This information is then analyzed to identify social hierarchies, isolated children, and group dynamics, which can indirectly point to behavioral issues.
• Behavioral problems: Children with behavioral problems may experience social rejection or isolation, which sociometric tools can highlight. For example, a child who is consistently excluded from play or social groups may be exhibiting behavior issues that affect peer relationships.

Additional Knowledge (Incorrect Options):

• (a) Behavior’s problems: While sociometry can indirectly reflect behavioral problems by highlighting social difficulties or exclusions, it is not specifically designed for diagnosing behavior problems. Other tools like behavioral assessments or psychological evaluations would be more directly focused on that.
• (b) Relationship with peers: This is the primary focus of sociometry. It is the most commonly used aspect of sociometry, but it can also shed light on behavioral or emotional problems.
• (c) Relationship with parents: Sociometry focuses on peer relationships rather than family relationships. Assessments of relationships with parents are usually done through other tools, such as family surveys or parent-child interaction assessments.
• (e) None of the above: This is incorrect since sociometry does indeed focus on both relationships with peers and can be an indicator of underlying behavioral problems.
