Twenty Monte Carlo studies on multiple comparison (MC) techniques were conducted to examine which MC technique was the "method of choice." The results from these studies had several apparent contradictions when different techniques were investigated under varying sample size and variance conditions. Box's coefficient of variance…

Comprehension tests (a short article on a topic of scientific interest followed by a series of test questions) and data tests (collection of data followed by questions) are being used more frequently. These tests are described and examples are given. (RH)

Taking exams by teams results in more group interaction with increased learning and reduction in anxiety. (Author/PG)

See TM 501 201-3 and EJ 060 883 for related articles. (MLP)

Galvanic skin conductance response, respiration rate and respiration depth values of an experimental and control group were used to test the hypotheses of a Albert Ellis' ABC Theory of psychopathology. (EK)

This study found that the verbal and nonverbal behaviors of examiners during testing may have affects on the intelligence performance of adult subjects. (EK)

A total of 28 children were tested for comprehension of spatial antonym pairs with arrays which contained four objects representing both members of two antonym pairs. The results supported a modified semantic-feature hypothesis, in which polarity is acquired before dimension. (Author/LLK)

The controversy regarding the admissibility of one-tailed tests of hypotheses was examined. Rather than taking a stand with regard to whether the one-or the two-tailed test is the most seriously flawed, a procedure is developed which can capitalize on the advantages of each. (RC)

Three experiments were performed, based on the two hypotheses about the rejection of false statements. False statements are rejected because they are "contradictory sentences," i.e., there is a subject/predicate contradiction, and "counterexample sentences," which are rejected when a person thinks of a counterexample to the assertion.
