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

The development of a scale for measuring campus morale is discussed. Since morale has helped to account for intergroup differences in effectiveness, it might be a significant variable affecting the process and product of higher education. Twenty-two items relevant to institutional morale were selected from the College and University Environment…

Pace's College and University Environment Scales (CUES) fails to consider the interdependency of the individual and his environment. A random sample of students (A) and two samples of general psychology students (B) and (C) were used to determine the legitimacy of CUES claims of freedom from: (1) sampling bias, and (2) correlation with individual…

Melges et al. (1971) presented evidence that a client's sense of self-worth is highly correlated with his degree of optimism about his personal future. Here the cross-lagged panel correlation (CLPC) technique was used to test their hypothesis that changes in personal future outlook lead to changes in self-esteem. (Editor/RK)

Findings here indicate that an inventory can be constructed for a wide age range of elementary school children which can predict creativity. GIFT is easy to administer and score, and correlates with a composite creativity criterion, art teacher nominations, and scores on a Uses test. (Author/RK)

The validity of the Verbal IQ as a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated using the criteria proposed by Resnick and Entin.

Article investigated the stability of both the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) (Edwards, 1959) and the Guilford-Zimmerman Temperment Survey (GZTS) (Guilford and Zimmerman, 1949) by presenting new data on the intercorrelations of the scales in these tests. (Author/RK)

During the past decade both the Guilford and Torrence groups have developed numerable measures to assess creative potential. Many of these measures purport to evaluate "creativity" but one element seems to be lacking in each: i.e., the last of "reality-based, real world measures" which would allow relevant response tendencies…

Evaluates the effects of Zen meditation on personality and values, casts serious doubts on certain studies that report astonishingly positive results after only a few weeks of meditation, and offers some suggestions to improve research methodology with regard to a most important contemporary phenomenon.

This research studied selected aspects of the Young Teacher Inventory, a 100-item instrument, which purportedly discriminates between teachers with strong and weak predispositions to participate in planning of change. One hundred items were crossvalidated against three samples of 100 subjects from among the teachers of the Danville, Illinois,…
