title: Correlation between developmental quotients (DASII) and social quotient (Malin's VSMS) in Indian children aged 6 months to 2 years.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SQ tends to be higher than DQ and correlates best with DQ mental.
