The Role of Affective Assessment in Intelligence Testing
Rumsey, Judith M.; Rychlak, Joseph F.
Journal of Personality Assessment, 42, 4, 421-5, Aug 78
As predicted, subjects scored higher on subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children which they had rated positively than on those which they had rated negatively. This positive reinforcement value effect supports the purposeful human image advanced by logical learning theory. No racial or social class differences were seen. (Author/CP)
