The Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) (N. Collins and S. Read, 1996) and the Adolescent Relationship Questionnaire (ARQ) (E. Scharfe and K. Bartholomew, 1995) widely used self-assessment measures of attachment behavior. This study investigated the validity of these two measures by administering them concurrently to 117 introductory psychology college…

Against an historical backdrop, this paper summarizes four uses of intraclass correlation of importance to contemporary researchers in the behavioral sciences. First, it shows how the intraclass correlation coefficient can be used to adjust confidence intervals for statistical significance testing when data are intracorrelated and the independence…

This paper contains information concerning the following: 1. An overview of multivariate analysis of variance, and discriminant (DA) and canonical (CA) analyses. 2. An introduction to specification and measurement errors, and collinearity. 3. The sparsity of information concerning specification and measurement errors and collinearity as they…

It was the purpose of this study to demonstrate the need for additional analysis of the correlates of the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test. (Author)

The contention of this paper is that the obtained difference in a study by DuCette and Wolk, which indicated that giving options in an essay examination produces poorer test performance, was an artifact of the scoring procedures. (Author/RK)

The present study is concerned primarily with demonstrating that laughter can be socially facilitated. It showed that children, presented aurally with laughter-provoking material, laugh more in the presence of a companion, whether or not the companion can hear the material. (Author/RK)

The present study represents a first attempt to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and personal adjustment, with the "inflating" effect of social desirability partialled out. (Author)

Ninety-five subjects (mean age 55 months) with mental retardation, learning disabilities, and/or minimal brain dysfunction and 47 control subjects (mean age 46 months) were compared to determine the relationship between developmental problems and dental morphology. (Author)

The Strong Vocational Interest Blank responses of 93 students were used to construct six empirical scales similar to the scales of Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory. Correlation of scale scores with VPI scores suggested that meaningful estimates of VPI profiles are obtainable by scoring selected SVIB items. (Author)

The conventional analysis of variance applied to designs in which each subject is measured repeatedly requires stringent assumptions regarding the variance-covariance structure of the data. This paper considers alternatives when heterogeneity of covariance exists, including nonparametric tests, randomization and matching procedures, Box and…

Magnitudes of correlations of achievement and IQ within levels of intelligence and between ages for elementary school children show that these factors must be considered in research and evaluation. (Author)

Scores on three measures of conceptual complexity were related to a number of biographic and demographic variables. Grade point average and academic major were examined for implications of conceptual complexity for education; religious affiliation and voting preference for connections between levels of conceptual functioning and antecedent…

The broad objective of this study then, is to attempt to discover whether a set of environmental variables presumably of significance for cognitive growth, generates similar factor structures across groups of varying socioeconomic status. (Author)

Experiment set out to determine whether responses to creativity tests are influenced by the personality of the subjects and by the amount of stress imposed by different testing procedures. (Author)
