Nonrecognition of the discrepancy between obvious and subtle items of the MMPI and failure to respond differentially to them were found to be significantly related in both normal and psychiatric sample groups. (Author)

In keeping with a learning theory approach, it is postulated that fear of examinations was a learned maladaptive pattern of behavior. Therefore, counter-conditioning through progressive relaxation and systematic desensitization was utilized to eliminate the maladaptive response in this case. (Author)

Procedural variations were compared for a vicarious group treatment of test anxiety involving observation of videotapes depicting systematic desensitization of a model. The theoretical implications of the present study and the feasibility of using videotaped materials to treat test anxiety and other avoidance responses in school settings are…

Presented are some notes concerning the lower bound used in entropy prediction experiments. An explicit proof valid for an ideal prediction, adding a negative proof for general experimental conditions is demonstrated. The general validity of the lower bound has been thus denied, reflecting some potential sources of distortion. (2 references)…

Presents information regarding available instruments for industries and agencies who must monitor numerous aquatic parameters. Charts denote examples of parameters sampled, testing methods, range and accuracy of test methods, cost analysis, and reliability of instruments. (BL)

This paper discusses the underlying structure and development of the benefit-T-score (bentee) which attempts to measure overall educational benefit. (CK)

Examined is the problem of measuring an individual's auditory response which includes a reluctance to use sound due to the feedback deficit produced by an inefficient pathway. (KW)

The findings suggest that Personal Orientation Inventory scores are unlikely to be inflated by the conscious or unconscious attempts of subjects to make a good impression on the inventory when they have little knowledge of the self-actualizing model of man. (Author)

Two basic postulates, (1) ego stage progression with increasing age, and (2) development of the ego as it meets the different crisis elements of the ego stages, were tested on a sample of 120 5-, 8-, and 11-year-old boys, using a projective instrument and a coding system. The first postulate found preliminary confirmation; the validity of the…
