Michael, William B.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
For each of two revised forms of the Dimensions of Self-Concept measure (intermediate and secondary forms), statistical information is presented concerning the intercorrelations of each of five factor scales, the reliability and standard error of measurement of each scale, and the results of item analyses.

Fernandes, Lucia M.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Three essentially parallel forms of the Dimensions of Self-Concept scale were factor analyzed using three samples of students: one elementary school sample, one junior high school sample, and one high school sample. Results are interpreted in terms of the reliability and validity of the scale. (Author/JKS)

Moran, Melanie; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The Barksdale Self-Esteem Test, the Piers-Harris Childrens Self Concept Scale and the Tennessee Self Concept Scale were administered to three samples of lower middle-class junior high school students and factor analyzed. Six factors were found to be essentially invariant across samples. (Author/JKS)

Parish, Thomas S.; Taylor, James C. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The Personal Attribute Inventory for Children (Parish) and the Piers-Harris Childrens Self Concept Scale were administered to samples of third and sixth grade children. Test-retest reliability and correlations between scales support the usefulness of both scales. (JKS)

Hanna, Gerald S.; Neely, Margery A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
An aspect of construct validity of the six scales of the Career Maturity Inventory was investigated with 127 ninth-grade students. The scales were found to be more highly intercorrelated than is desirable. Coupled with their modest reliabilities, this outcome was interpreted as a major limitation of the instrument. (Author)

Napier, John D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Two experiments were conducted to assess the ability of preservice teachers to score moral thought statements using Kohlberg's theory of moral development. Results indicate that teachers, in general, are not able to rate the statements with consistency. (JKS)

Martin, John D.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
The relationship between Elizur's Hostility Scoring on the Rorschach Test and the Acting-Out Score on the Hand Test was examined. Correlations between the two measures (using several scoring procedures) ranged from .40 to .64. (JKS)

Rotton, James; Schonemann, Peter H. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
In numerous applications of the analysis of variance, it is necessary to compute the power of F tests having numerically high alpha (significance) levels. This article tabulates the power of F tests for a variety of degrees of freedom. (Author/JKS)

Shine, Lester C., II – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Some recent developments for the Shine-Bower single-subject analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Shine Combined ANOVA are integrated in order to remove the restriction of an even number of trials for the Shine Combined ANOVA. (Author/JKS)
