This study examined whether the modal responses used to determine the Group Conformity Rating on the Children's Form of the Picture-Frustration Study were valid for another sample of comparable size to the standardization sample. Subjects were 245 children in Grades 1 through 6. The modal responses were cross-validated for 19 of the 24 items. Further examinations of the validity of the Group Conformity Rating may be improved if only those items which were cross-validated are used.
