A procedure for estimating the rates of false positive and false negative classification in a mastery testing situation is described. Formulas and tables are described for the computations of the standard errors. (Author/JKS)

The fakeability of scales on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was estimated with a homogeneous sample of female undergraduates. The Questionnaire appeared to be moderately susceptible to faking, at least in the fake good condition. (Author)

Suicide rates of college and university populations are found to be lower than sex-matched comparison groups based on the 20 to 24-year-old population. (JMF)

The article reviews the Diagnostic Assessment Procedure and related facets of the evaluation process within the Program to Develop Efficiency in Visual Functioning. Basic assumptions, rationale for development, administration, interpretation, and use of the program are considered. (Author/PHR)

To determine the intertest reliability of the Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI) and the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BGT), 64 six to nine year olds were administered both tests.

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) test-retest data with a six-month interval were obtained for 45 normal l0-year-old children. Verbal IQ estimates were stable, but significant practice effects were obtained on performance and full scale IQ estimates. Discussion focused on test readministration. (Author/RL)

High correlations were found suggesting excellent predictability between scales and considerable stability across time and rater. (Author/SBH)

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable racquetball skills test for evaluating college racquetball students. (MM)

The aim of this article is to present relevant data on the psychometric characteristics of scales designed to measure one or more aspects of human sexual activity and marital interactions. (Author)

Among the conclusions are that the centralization scales are reliable and valid, that the rule observation scale is reliable but does not have as high a degree of discriminant validity as the centralization scale, and that the task routineness scale is reliable and valid but limited. (Author/IRT)

Results of an analysis of the Avery-Richardson Tennis Serve Test are presented. (JD)

Results indicate that the scale is psychometrically sound and has discriminant validity in relation to the Mosher Forced-Choice Guilt Inventory Sex Guilt subscale. The clinical implications of distinguishing between sexual anxiety and sexual guilt are discussed. (Author)

Reports that the McCall-Crabbs Standard Test Lessons in Reading were never sufficiently standardized to justify their widespread use as the basis for readability formulae. (DD)

Describes the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests and evaluates their suitability for testing reading, concluding that they appear to be carefully developed survey tests of general reading achievement. (DD)
