Chastain, Robert L.; Joe, George W. – 1985
This study attempts to integrate and extend previous research by multivariate investigation to determine multidimensional relationships among both the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) subscales and the demographic variables for the 1981 WAIS-R standardization sample. Canonical correlation with orthogonal rotation of composite…

Sellers, Alfred H.; And Others – 1990
The relationships between intellectual and demographic variables of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) were examined. Subjects were 2,200 children in the WISC-R standardization sample. Four multiple regression analyses were performed between Full Scale and Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Organization, and Freedom from…

Harnqvist, Kjell; Stahle, Gun – 1977
A written intelligence test with verbal, reasoning, and spatial subscales was administered to two comparable national samples of 1,000 thirteen-year olds in Sweden, tested in 1961 and in 1966. The increases were greater for girls than for boys, and the changes occurred simultaneously with several changes in social and educational conditions. To…

Diaz, Amelia; And Others – Personality and Individual Differences, 1994
Three personality questionnaires were completed by 122 delinquent and 421 nondelinquent adolescents in Valencia, Spain. Delinquents scored higher than nondelinquents on factors of dogmatism, neuroticism, and criminal propensity and lower than nondelinquents on intelligence. Neuroticism was the best predictor of delinquency for females. (BC)

Thomason, Sharon L.; Winer, Jane L. – Journal of Career Development, 1994
Data from 115 college freshmen under age 20 show that career maturity is not significantly related to independence from parents. Intelligence was significantly and positively related to most career maturity and independence scales for women but not for men. Men were both less career mature and more independent from their mothers than women were.…

Portes P. R.; Dunham, R. M. – 1984
The relation between Bayley Scale and Stanford-Binet measures in preschool and scholastic achievement at pre-adolescence is examined in the context of an early age intervention. The program sought to normalize the socio-cognitive development of disadvantaged 2-year-olds directly and through a training program for mothers. The follow-up includes a…

Chodzinski, Raymond T.; Randhawa, Bikkar S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This study investigated the factor structure of the 10 subtests of the Career Maturity Inventory (CMI). Although two principal factors emerged, the CMI Competence and Attitude subtests did not load distinctly on the two separate factors. Results also tended to indicate that the discriminant validity of the CMI may be minimal. (PN)

Woodfin, Mary Jo – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1972
Initial standing in language, reading, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and sex differences did not predict writing ability of third grade children any more accurately for structured than for nonstructured teaching methods, although children who did not spell or read as well as others were able to produce more volume in their writing when…

DiLalla, Lisabeth F.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1990
Evaluated measures of infant cognitive development in 208 pairs of twins at 7, 8, and 9 months of age. Results contributed to the growing evidence of stability in intellectual development from infancy. (RH)

Veroff, Joseph; And Others – 1971
A series of studies and analyses to develop brief, reliable measures of intelligence and achievement motivation that would be feasible for use in a cross-sectional sample is summarized. One measure of intelligence meets these criteria. It is a 13-item test of sentence completion skill, which correlates effectively with other measures of…

Hoglund, Connie L.; Bell, Terece S. – 1991
A controversy currently exists in the literature regarding the stability of self-esteem across childhood. This ongoing study, initiated in 1987, was designed to respond to the limitations in the existing body of knowledge. It examines the influence of a variety of environmental variables, specifically home and school experiences, as well as…

Coie, John D.; Dorval, Bruce – Developmental Psychology, 1973
Analytic intelligence was a good predictor of communication scores for boys but not for girls. Verbal ability was no better a predictor for girls than boys. The correlational evidence indicates that conventional intelligence tests predict social perspective taking as well as Piaget's measure of spatial perspective-taking ability. (Authors)

Bradley, Robert H.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
The ability of an environmental process measure and socioeconomic status (SES) measures to predict Stanford-Binet IQ at 3 years of age was compared in a separate analysis by sex and race. The environmental process measure predicted IQ as well as a combination of process and status measures, and was superior to SES measures alone. (Author/CP)
