Abstract
Barbeito and Ono (1979) recently reported a psychometric evaluation of four methods of measuring the egocenter. Evaluations of this kind can be extended, with a view to obtaining independent estimates of reliability and validity coefficients. In this way, the advantage(s) of one type of measure over another can be more clearly delineated.
