Benner, Emily H.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Investigated the interrelationship of self-concept measures in a cross-validation study of 134 intermediate grade children. Multiple regression analysis of self-report and behavioral inference instruments supported the hypothesis that self-constructs are strongly rooted in the method by which they are assessed. (JAC)

Juni, Samuel; Koenig, Esther J. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1982
Critiques the Jackson Vocational Interest Survey. Found the randomized technique of matching statements into forced-choice item pairs is a major flaw in the instrument. Explores conceptual issues arising when item clustering is used with forced-choice statement matching. Introduces contingency validity in item construction. (R)

Hynd, George W.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1980
Investigated concurrent validity of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) with Native American primary-grade children. Significantly low General Cognitive Index indicates that the MSCA with Native American children is not recommended for psychodiagnostic purposes. However, perceptual-performance and motor scales may provide useful…

Lokan, Janice – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1977
This article describes a study in which six academic and 25 shop courses offered in a special vocational high school were grouped into five clusters for each sex. Predictor tests were given to successive cohorts of entering ninth-grade students. (Author)

Bernknopf, Stanley; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1975
Traditionally, the psychometric qualities of instruments used in guidance research are not reported and concerns of validity are passed over lightly. This article examines this problem by delineating instrument development from the identification of content through initial validation processes. Procedures for item selection, item validation, and…

Byrne, Barbara M. – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1983
Administered two measures of general self-concept and two measures of academic self-concept to 1,018 high school students in October and May of the same school year to determine reliability and validity. Results indicated the need for more research investigating the psychometric properties of measures of academic self-concept. (JAC)

Landman, Janet T.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1980
Tests for Everyday Living (TEL) is a series of tests which assess adolescents' knowledge and performance in daily living and prevocational skill areas. Tests include a practical reading scale. Content of TEL and psychometric characteristics determined during standardization provide evidence for utility and validity of the battery. (Author)
