Tests of intelligence, music audiation, auditory conservation, and visual conservation were administered to two first-grade classes. Data revealed that auditory conservation isn't significantly related to visual conservation but is significantly related to music aptitude, to IQ, and to the interaction of music aptitude and IQ. Instructional…

The use of analysis of covariance in conjunction with the multivariate approach to analyzing repeated measures designs is considered for designs involving between- and within-subject factors, one dependent variable, and one observation per subject on the covariate. (Author/RL)

In the four-school stratified sample of eleventh graders, the females scored significantly higher in vocational attitude. For both sexes, the relationship between overall self-esteem level and vocational attitude maturity was significant. The self-concept variables contributing to vocational attitude maturity in each sex were identified.…

Examined the relationship of instrumental and affectional behavioral events to short- and long-term marital satisfaction. Results showed a significant negative relationship between frequency of displeasurable instrumental events and ratings of marital satisfaction. The most important finding was the degree to which wives' self-esteem correlated…

A regression equation relating verbal and full-scale IQs was derived from scores of patients. Scores were highly correlated, and verbal IQ significantly exceeded full-scale IQ. Regression estimates closely estimated mean full-scale IQ, suggesting that the verbal scale serves effectively as a WAIS abbreviation. (Author)

Responses to a questionnaire pertaining to discrepancies between an individual's ideal and actual marital role behaviors and level of sexual satisfaction indicated lower levels of role strain in nonpatient couples. A higher level of role strain correlated with increased sexual dissatisfaction. (Author)

Attitudes of undergraduate elementary education majors were examined to determine the relationship between dogmatism and teacher preference for certain teaching styles. Findings indicated the more dogmatic groups of future teachers had greater attitudinal preferences for the orderly, dependent, exhibitionistic, and dominant teaching styles. (DS)

Initial weight-loss success was correlated with two severity variables. Persons reporting frequent binge eating and histories of previous dieting weight loss lost the most weight. Persons who were successful at maintenance used frequent exercise. Those who relapsed reported high levels of stress during follow-up. (Author)

Describes the methodological and statistical criteria neccessary for adequate measurement of organism-environment correlations and presents a path anaysis model as an approach to the study of these correlations. (BD)

Comments critically on Richards' conclusion (AA 524 939) that the extent of correlations among tests of divergent-production abilities justifies the belief in a single unitary creative aptitude. (Author/RK)

Findings here indicate that an inventory can be constructed for a wide age range of elementary school children which can predict creativity. GIFT is easy to administer and score, and correlates with a composite creativity criterion, art teacher nominations, and scores on a Uses test. (Author/RK)

The validity of the Verbal IQ as a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated using the criteria proposed by Resnick and Entin. The WAIS was administered to 100 psychiatric patients. There was no significant difference between the means of the Verbal and Full Scale IQs. (Author)

P. Schonemann (1992) claimed that the positive correlation predicted by Spearman's hypothesis of the positive relationship between the standardized black-white differences in means on cognitive tests and loading of the tests on general cognitive ability was ascribable to a statistical artifact. This paper refutes that claim. (SLD)

Explores clinical characteristics associated with adolescent girls (N=110) diagnosed with an eating disorder and increased exposure to illicit drugs. Results indicate substance use was unrelated to scores on several scales of eating disorder symptomatology. One scale, though, predicted substance use regardless of age or eating disorder diagnosis.…

Examined questionnaire responses of 419 first-year college students regarding alcohol consumption and ego identity status. Results indicate that the volume and frequency of alcohol consumption was related to ego identity status. Ego identity sophistication was inversely related to the quantity of beer consumption. Implications of the findings are…
