Usable data from 214 of 227 college students who completed the Career Factors Inventory (CFI), Career Choice Status Inventory, Vocational Identity Scale, and Career Development Inventory demonstrated the CFI's construct validity through correlations with age and years in school. Concurrent validity was supported by correlations with career…

van den Broek, Anneke; Golden, Charles J.; Loonstra, Ann; Ghinglia, Katheryne; Goldstein, Diane – Psychological Assessment, 1998
Indicated excellent cross-validations with correlation of 0.99 for past formulas (J. L. Woodard and B. N. Axelrod, 1995; B. N. Axelrod et al, 1996) for estimating the Wechsler Memory Scale- Revised General Memory and Delayed Recall Indexes. Over 85% of the estimated scores were within 10 points of actual scores. Age, education, diagnosis, and IQ…

Examined convergent and discriminant validity of selected Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory--Adolescent (MMPI--A) content scales. A total of 62 adolescent psychiatric inpatients completed the inventory and a battery of self-report measures of constructs similar to the content scales. Findings support validity and potential utility of the…

The Multidimensional Stimulus Fluency Measure (MSFM) and the Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement (TCAM) instrument, both designed to assess ideational fluency through different response modes (verbal and nonverbal), were administered to 24 middle-class preschool children. Concurrent and construct validity were established for these two…

A study reveals the need for extensive refinement of the Revised Perceived Environmental Control Measure purported in the past to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure the relationship between the psychological construct, "locus of control," and environmental action or environmentally responsible behavior. (MCO)

Assessed validity of the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC) using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) as criterion instruments. The cognitive triad of the PIC was minimally correlated with all intelligence quotient measures and significantly correlated only for reading and…

Pentony, Joseph F. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
The reliability and validity of E. D. Hirsch's (1988) Cultural Literacy Test (CLT) was studied with 150 first-year college students at the University of St. Thomas in Houston (Texas). The test appears reliable, with a split-half reliability estimate of 0.93, and the cultural literacy construct and the CLT are valid. (SLD)
