This study examined the association between stress/coping variables and the newly developed Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – III (WISC‐III) among children. Subjects included 98 children (72 males, 26 females), who ranged in age from 6 to 16 years and who were referred for multidisciplinary diagnostic testing during 1992‐93. Demographic, DSM‐III‐R diagnostic, and testing data from the WISC‐III were obtained from patient charts. Results suggest that stress and coping are associated with WISC‐III performance among referred children in this archival and correlational study. Implications for future research are discussed.
