Describes an effective workshop for humanizing education which is being applied in many other school systems. (Author/MB)

To assess whether different response patterns were associated with differences in the naming and placement of response categories, 1000 undergraduate students in educational administration completed a 10-item personal-values questionnaire. (Author)

Analysis of the data indicated that the low self actualizing group had the highest rate of conditioning, while the high self actualizing individuals showed a nonsignificant gain in the rate of affective self disclosures during conditioning but were more resistant to extinction as compared to the low and the moderate groups.

The Affective Sensitivity Scale was responsive to experiences of a T group laboratory, as well as to experiences of less intensity but of longer duration (year long National Defense Education Act Counseling and Guidance Institutes). However, scores on the instrument did not change significantly as a result of retesting or a placebo treatment.…

Presents the procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to test the hypothesis of an invariant sequence of classificatory behavior in elementary school students. Data were analyzed by (a) the Gutman procedure and (b) Luigoes Scalogram Analysis. The results did not support the hypothesis. Bibliography. (LC)

The replication study concludes that anxiety among middle class white students is neither greater nor equal to that of lower class blacks. Entire 5th and 6th grade classes of eight elementary schools, ranging from inner city public to suburban private, comprised the sample (n=1,200). (Author/DB)

The study sought to evaluate the extent to which certain objective tests, ward behavior ratings, recorded verbalization scores, and interview behavior ratings possessed convergent and discriminant validity for 10 psychotic syndromes. It was concluded that the convergent and discriminant validity of the syndromes is strongly supported. (Author)

Results obtained with three methods of measuring three functional roles in initially leaderless small groups were factor analyzed. Results are discussed in terms of role differentiation and on implications of generalizing results obtained through one measurement procedure to those obtained with other procedures. (Author)

In a comparison of two systems used for evaluating the skills of medical students in relating to patients, the one utilizing interaction analysis yielded more reliable ratings and seems to have potential as an instructional method. The other system used traditional types of judgments registered on a 10-point continuum. Both systems were used with…

The Ozawa Behavioral Rating Scale contains six items related to distractibility and nine items related to impulsivity. This validity study showed that the Scale shows statistically significant relationships with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised and the Matching Familiar Figures Test and may be appropriate for identifying…

A modified multitrait-multimethod validation matrix was generated to evaluate the construct validity of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS). Results were consistent with the use of RCMAS as a measure of chronic, manifest anxiety levels in children. Large correlations occurred with other trait measures of anxiety. (Author/PN)
