This study provides data that concern the relationships among the usual clinical approach to memory measurement and results from several standard memory tests. (Author)

This study assessed the validity of the Pain Apperception Test (PAT) against an accepted and validated predictive measure of pain tolerance, a Kinesthetic After Effects Task (KAE). As well, it replicated an earlier finding by Petrovich that suggested that scores derived from the PAT are related significantly to neuroticism. (Author/RK)

Attempts to establish further the validity of the Child Scale, to investigate the individual nature of the items that compose the scale and their value as demographic factors in the prediction of therapeutic outcome, and to document further the use of target complaints as criteria in investigating the outcome of psychotherapy. (Author/RK)

One hundred culturally disadvantaged children were tested on culture-fair (Raven) and culturally biased (WISC) tests, and scores were correlated with academic achievement. (Author)

This paper presents data that imply the need for caution in the clinical use of the SHTRS (Shipley-Hartford Total Raw Score) to predict WAIS FSIQ (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Full Scale IQ) and that show a sex difference in Shipley and predicted scores. (Author/RK)

Compared two types of empirical study with two types of conceptual research on the validity of the Rorschach. Argues that the Rorschach does have some validity and that poor research is at least partly culpable for the Rorschach's perceived failure. (Author/BL)

Fifteen male college students and 15 male process schizophrenics were used as Ss in this study. Intercorrelations among IQs, AQs, AQ-IQ discreoancies, RPRS scores, and psychiatric status of the Ss (schizophrenics vs. normals) were computed. (Author)

This study examined age and sex differences, and the interaction of age x sex, with respect to "meaning in life" as defined by Frankl and measured by the Purpose-in-Life Test (PIL) developed by Crumbaugh and Maholick. (Author)

Replicated a previous investigation that compared a global measure of life change events (the Schedule of Recent Experience) with a restricted negative measure (the Life Experience Survey) in association with self-reported anxiety and depressive symptomatology. The previous finding of the superiority of the negative events measure was not…

Explores more directly the alleged defensive interpretation of the L scale by relating it to another measure of defensiveness, viz, the denial scale (Dn) and to two other measures that presumably do not reflect defensiveness, viz, the MMPI Schizophrenia (Sc) and Hypochondriasis (Hs) scales. (Author/RK)

Appplied formulae for estimating the validity of random short forms to Reynolds' data on six short forms of the Marlowe-Crowne. Results showed some, but not all, of the short forms considered by Reynolds were appreciably better than random. (JAC)

WAIS subtset standard scores, IQ scores, and factorial deviation quotients were correlated with Bender Gestalt recall scores for 111 vocational rehabilitation clients. Results found that the Bender recall task could not classify Ss as to general intelligence level with greater accuracy than could be obtained with the WAIS Vocabulary subtest alone.…

Examines the Personal Health Survey methodology and suggests that in studying the factorial composition of physical and mental health complaints in limited populations, the data provides normative information "only" for the samples tested on one occasion. States further that it would require large-scale normative studies to make any…

The effectiveness of the Wechsler Memory Scale as a screening test for brain dysfunction when used with "new" scoring procedures was assessed in this cross-validation study. (Editor)
