Investigates the models of Man postulated by the major contemporary schools of psychology by constructing measures specially designed to elicit the relationships postulated by such schools. (Author/RK)

Aims to explore the possible association between certain personality characteristics and suicidal inclination. Compares psychiatric patients with and without a suicidal history according to a number of selected of MMPI scales. (Author/RK)

In an attempt to extend the "nomological network" of the hopelessness dimension, this research examines the relationship between negative expectancies about the future and two theoretically relevant constructs: generalized expectancies for reinforcement, and depression. (Author/RK)

Explores more directly the alleged defensive interpretation of the L scale by relating it to another measure of defensiveness, viz, the denial scale (Dn) and to two other measures that presumably do not reflect defensiveness, viz, the MMPI Schizophrenia (Sc) and Hypochondriasis (Hs) scales. (Author/RK)

Examines, by use of Webb's automated telephone interview (SI), the relationship between the degree of interview matching of interviewer DOU (mean pause duration) and RTL (mean response latency) and therapist empathy, warmth and genuineness as rated by the interviewee. (Author/RK)

Advances the hypothesis that individuals who smoke tend to fantasize more than those who have stopped smoking or never smoked. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this research was to analyze recent statistics textbooks (n=22) to examine the ways in which authors addressed the issue of effect size (ES) and the practical significance of research results. In terms of the overall prevalence of ES statistics, the one-sample, matched-pair, and two-sample t-tests, and one-factor analysis of…

This study investigated the VADS test results for boys diagnosed as either emotionally disturbed or as having learning disabilities. Youngsters who fall into either of these two diagnostic categories tend to show poor achievement and have difficulty in school. (Author)

The purposes of this study were to develop a simplified form of the MMPI and to demonstrate its equivalence to the standard form. Such a revision would extend the range of application of the instrument. (Author)

This study provides additional data on the validity of the MCPS when used with severely disturbed children. (Author)

In the present study, a single -trial learn-recall design was employed to eliminate the possibility of interference and to provide a clean test of the trace decay theory, which predicts forgetting under impoverished feedback and interpolated noninterfering activity because of covert-rehersal restrictions. (Author)

An experiment was conducted comparing judgment of recency (JOR) for line drawings and printed words representing common objects. In a mixed design, groups of 15 Ss were tested using either pictures or words at either of two presentation rates. (Editor)

Two hypothesis regarding the recall of noun triplets through the use of imagery were investigated in a cued-recall study. (Editor)

The present experiment showed that after learning a list of unrelated words organized onto subjective groupings, the representation of groupings in DWDs (double-word displays) affected RL (recognition latency) only when both words in a DWD were old. (Editor)

Article attempted to ascertain whether bilateral language representation occurred at the expense of certain musical as well as of spatial abilities. (Author/RK)
