Although behavior analysis relies primarily on visual inspection for interpreting data, previous research shows that the method of display can influence the judgments. In the current study, 26 Board-Certified Behavior Analysts reviewed two data sets displayed on each of three methods--equal-interval graphs, tables, and Standard Celeration…

A library network model is reviewed and a derivation is presented that requires fewer assumptions and allows more robust representations of library networks. (Author)

Using Schachter's theory of emotion as a starting point, two predictions regarding the interaction of alcohol consumed in social and solitary situations were tested experimentally. (Editor)

The purpose of this study was to compare three technologies: the item forms technology (domain-referenced testing) of Hively et al. (1968), the hierarchical or stratified item forms technology of Ferguson (1969), and the algorithmic technology of Scandura (1971, 1973). (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study was to develop a device for predicting student success in a high school Elementary Algebra course. It was intended to assist guidance counselors in advising students in selecting the most appropriate mathematics course. (Editor)

The present study evaluates the relationship between social learning and developmental theories in the prediction of changes in cognitive behavior. (Author)

This study attempted to shed light on the role of items cued to be remembered in the forgetting of items cued to be forgotten. (Author)

Examines two specific hypotheses on the dynamics of persuasion: first, whether the manipulation of arguments presented to support an advocated opinion should influence the effectiveness of an expert source more than an attractive source, and second, audience reaction toward expert versus attractive sources when considering a number of arguments…

Attempts to reevaluate Beall and Panton's MMPI escape scale on what presumably would be a more appropriate escapee sample than that used in previous studies. This would help to determine whether a revision of this escape scale should be undertaken. (Author/RK)

This study was undertaken to develop a model early warning system which could anticipate job openings generated in local communities by large Federal procurement contracts. Among the major findings from the cases studied: (1) projections of job openings were possible in all contracts considered, by the use of estimating techniques which are…

The prediction that differences in incomes of high school and college graduates will not change is tested by applying standard statistical procedures to data describing actual income differences. Data from the United States Bureau of the Census describe annual incomes of men twenty-five years old and older during 1956-75. Report 1 displays results…
