Evidence for the reliability and validity of a paper-and-pencil personality inventory, the content of which is expressed entirely in terms of experiences of time and attitudes toward time, is presented. (Author)

Comparison of the results of this study with correlations reported by Dahlstrom and Welsh (1960) indicate that the effect of K correction on the intercorrelations among MMPI scales is small compared with that resulting from a change in population. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to determine if four groups of engineering students differing in academic success and persistence could be discriminated on the basis of personality characteristics. Two personality dimensions discriminated: one dimension was described in terms of other-directed characteristics; the other in terms of self-directed…

An evaluation of the degree of overlapping variance between self-estimated and actual personality factor scores found only minimal overlap between estimates and inventory. Counselors are cautioned not to use personality estimates as substitutes for actual inventory scores. (Author)

Two studies involving a total of 837 intermediate-grade students found that multivariate analyses of self-concept inventories reveal dimensions uncovered by univariate methods. (NRB)

Discusses the Adapted Modified Role Repertory Test (AMRRT), which was developed to measure cognitive complexity in children. AMRRT scores correlated significantly with age, thus supporting the assumption that cognitive complexity increases as a function of age. Offers strong empirical support for the construct validity of the AMRRT. (Author)

This study provides an analysis and cross-validation of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) occupational introversion-extroversion (OIE) scale, a parent of the IE scale in the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII). (Author)

This study identified dimensions of vocational and personality variables in the Cognitive Vocational Maturity Test (CVMT), Work Values Inventory (WVI), Ohio Vocational Interest Survey (OVIS), and Jesness Inventory (JI) for 410 male delinquents. (Author)

Evaluated the reliability and convergent validity of three rating scales designed to measure self-concept clarity. The ratings of self, peer, and professional judges were compared. Results supported that a basic difference exists between a participant's self-reported constructs and an observer's judgment of that participant's constructs.…

Investigated construct validity of four self-report, self-concept instruments: Bledsoe Self-Concept Scale (BSCS), Children's Self-Concept Scale (CSCS), Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) and Purdue Self-Concept Scale (PSCS). In assessing the self-concepts of 175 fourth-grade children convergent validity of the tests was not established. (Author)

This article describes an attempt to differntiate Holland's six types by means of personality need variables. Participants were administered Holland's VPI and Jackson's Personality Research Form (PRF). One-way analyses of variance revealed that PRF variables could not differentiate Holland's six types. (Author)

The author describes and validates a sociometric technique which is simple and time saving as compared with techniques that entail working with first and second preferences of children and constructing sociograms. (Author)

Identifies the dimensions of vocational interests in the Ohio Vocational Interest Survey (OVIS) among adjudicated male delinquents. A random sample of 301 male delinquents were administered the OVIS. The results lend support for the use of the cubistic model and the OVIS with delinquents. (Author)

An investigation of the relationship of selected variables to congruency or discrepancy between expressed or inventoried interests is presented. The sample for this study consisted of 327 randomly selected high school students from a public school located in an affluent suburb and a parochial school located in a city. (Author)

Investigated student perceptions of occupational congruency using Holland's realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional personality and environment types. Four levels of person-environment congruency were established from the hexagonal ordering of the types. Student perceptions of congruent activities, values,…
