The concurrent validity of the Career Maturity Inventory with two other instruments was investigated for a sample of ninth-grade boys and girls. Some tentative implications concerning construct validity were drawn. (Author)

First grade teacher interests in four subject areas as measured by the Strong Vocational Interest Blank were compared to their students' interests in those areas as measured by the Survey of School Attitudes. A relationship was found only in the natural science subject area. (JKS)

The Object Assembly and Block Design Tests of the Wechsler Scale were correlated with the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking for a sample of undergraduates. Results indicate that these Wechsler Scales may reflect creative thinking. (JKS)

The Metropolitan Readiness Tests were correlated with teacher ratings of reading readiness for a sample of kindergarten pupils. Correlations support the concurrent validity of the instrument. (JKS)

It appears that a positive relationship exists between certain attributes of a self-actualizing person and the life style of the person who scores high on the Purpose in Life Test. Perhaps self-actualization and strong purpose in life are related secondarily through separate relationships with other variables. (Author/JKS)

The Slosson Intelligence Test and the Shipley Institute of Living Scale were administered in a test-retest fashion to a sample of undergraduates. Correlations between the instruments were moderate and reliabilities for the instruments were moderate to low. (JKS)

The concurrent validity and reliability of abbreviated versions of the WISC-R were estimated for a group of one hundred children between six and sixteen years of age. These abridged scales offered satisfactory estimates of reliability and validity. (Author/JKS)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, the Slosson Intelligence Test, and the National Education Development Test were administered to a small sample of private school children ranging in age from 12.3 to 14.1 years. Correlations among these measures were moderate to high. (JKS)

The discriminant validity of the noxious codes of the Behavioral Coding System for the measurement of aggressive behavior in schools was investigated on a sample of aggressive and prosocial elementary school males. The codes were found to discriminate. (Author/JKS)

Generalizations of the G index as a measure of similarity between persons beyond the dichotomous situation are discussed. An attempt is made to present a generalization that does not require dichotomization of the items for cases where the number of response alternatives may differ. (Author/JKS)

Four possible situations in trend analyses in the analysis of variance are discussed: unequal sample sizes with unequal intervals, unequal sample sizes with equal intervals, equal sample sizes with unequal intervals, and equal sample sizes with equal intervals. (Author/JKS)

The kappa coefficient and the chi square statistic are used as indices of agreement between two judges' ratings of a set of stimuli on a nominal scale. In this article, the logic of these indices is extended to weighted multi-way cases. (Author/JKS)

The rationale and development of a new measure of five methods of handling interpersonal conflict (competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accomodating), which attempts to control for the social desirability response bias is described. The instrument--the Management of Differences Exercise, or the MODE instrument--is briefly compared…

McQuitty has developed a number of pattern analytic methods that can be computed by hand, but the matrices of associations used in these methods cannot be so readily computed. A simplified but exact method of computing product moment correlations based on Q sort data for McQuitty's methods is described. (Author/JKS)

A series of independent, normally distributed events may be broken into intervals on an a priori basis. Then, within interval variance may be compared to among interval variance. These might be considered short-term and long-term variances. This concept and a test for comparing variances are presented. (Author/JKS)
