The purposes of this study were to test the validity of the item-pair dipolarity assumption, to change the format to avoid bipolar item pairing should the assumption prove untenable, establish a more definitive factor structure and explore its validity by relating it to other personality variables.

Results of the study indicate that despite the presumably greater opportunity the mother has to observe the child, more valid information in regard to his developmental status is obtained from the child's teacher. (Author)

By securing a network of variables related to cognitive outcomes, we may emphasize important behaviors that are adjuncts to learning and mitigate measurement problems of the performance contract. (Author)

Results of this study indicate that an English proficiency test such as TOEFL may raise the validity of the GRE aptitude tests in predicting foreign students' graduate school GPA. (Author)

On the basis of the findings it would appear that mathematics instructors should consider seriously the use of Structure-of-Intellect factor tests for selection and placement of students. (Authors)

Specific aim of the study was to determine the predictive accuracy of selected observations obtained during developmental periods on later developmental outcome. (Authors)

With a sample of 64 secondary school classes in Montreal, the predictive validity of a set of 15 learning environment scales was tested in eight subject areas. (Authors)

A possible interpretation of the differential predictability across school systems as revealed in this study, is offered. (Authors/MB)
