The purpose of this systematic review was to characterize the implementation of reliability generalization meta-analytic (RGM) practices within mathematics education-related empirical research. RGM studies are used to investigate and generalize the reliability of a measure across various studies. An exhaustive literature search was conducted to…

The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent students with mild mental retardation exhibit strategic behaviour during problem solving and to investigate the relationships between the ongoing behaviours examined and the students' respective performance. Eleven students with non-organic mild mental retardation participated in the study.…

Tested the discrimination of the MMPI Beall-Panton escape index by applying it to a sample of minimum security incarcerated female felons. The index did not differentiate significantly between escapees and nonescapees. Differentiation between the groups did occur when MMPI clinical and validity scales were considered separately.

This analysis of choice of Thematic Apperception Test cards administered to psychiatric patients showed that interns did administer more sexual-romantic cards to female than to male patients; staff psychologists did not. Sample size does not justify a conclusion that a genuine difference exists between staff psychologists and interns. (Author)

Recommendations arising from the existential position are made for psychological testing: coadvisement (client and tester discuss their perspectives on the testing situation), sharing impressions (about the client), writing everyday language, client's critique of the written evaluation, and client's designation of report receivers.

Rotter's Index of generalized expectancies for the internal or external control of reinforcement has been shown to predict successfully a variety of behaviors. An important future use of this scale may be the examination of the predictive power of individual items rather than generalized expectancies. (EK)

The role of formal assessment in the practice of sex therapy with couples is discussed. A case is made for the use of behaviorally oriented paper-and-pencil tests of the self-report variety in clinical settings. Such procedures yield information relevant to diagnosis. (Author)

This study attempted to demonstrate behavioral correlates of two related Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory code types (4-9,9-4) with inpatients from state psychiatric facilities. The findings are discussed in terms of the discriptors available, the role of base rates, and similarity-dissimilarity of 4-9 profiles. A suggestion is offered…
