Suggests some general outlines for the conduct of generalizability theory studies. (SLD)

Against an historical backdrop, this paper summarizes four uses of intraclass correlation of importance to contemporary researchers in the behavioral sciences. First, it shows how the intraclass correlation coefficient can be used to adjust confidence intervals for statistical significance testing when data are intracorrelated and the independence…

For successful classification of children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, major issues include (1) the need for explicit studies of identification criteria; (2) the need for systematic sampling strategies; (3) development of hypothetical classifications; and (4) systematic assessment of reliability and validity of hypothetical…

This theoretical analysis of historical data collected from oral accounts points out factors (memory, recall, sampling, interview structure, personal interpretation) which make it difficult for the historian to generalize from individual interviews. (AM)

Discusses four ubiquitous major sources of measurement error for individual intelligence scales. Argues that where these sources cannot be directly investigated, they should be estimated rather than ignored. Estimated the typical magnitude of error arising from each of content sampling, time sampling, scoring, and administration. (Author)

Until recently, norms of experimental reasoning have lacked systematic theoretical development. Thus, it has been easy for psychologists like Tversky and Kahneman to misclassify certain human reasoning processes as being Pascalian and invalid, rather than as being Baconian and valid. (CP)

A review of the technical data available on the 1972 norms edition of the Stanford-Binet demonstrates how inadequate these data are. The Stanford-Binet should not continue to be used in important decision making processes unless this weakness is corrected. (Author)
