摘要：Two keys were developed for items on the California Psychological Inventory: one key for a sample of psychiatric aides divided into a short-tenure and a long -tenure subgroup and the other key for a sample divided into two subgroup on a performance rating. Applying these keys to cross-validation samples, no relationship whatever was found between predictions and actual job tenure or performance rating. Possible reasons for the keys to fail to stand up are discussed.

摘要：A 16-dial panel was tested with a check-reading task (to detect deviations) for the effect of illumination changes to aid detection of errors. In one situation (R), from 1 through 8 error dials were presented under constant red illumination. In the other situation (RG) error dials were accompanied by a change in illuminant from red to green. (a) Differences between response times and also variability of response under the R and RG situations were significant; (b) three times as many errors wer...

摘要：To determine how well the relative preference ratings of foods by groups of soldiers correspond with ratings by groups of civilians under similar test situations, the ratings for twelve test foods made by four 50-man groups of soldiers were compared with the ratings made by two 40-man groups of civilians. Under the conditions of the experiment, correlations above .9 were found between the soldier and civilian ratings, and it was concluded that ...pretesting of rations in the Institute laborato...

摘要：... two newly developed methods of typographic arrangement, square span and spaced unit, may possess certain advantages over the usual arrangement. While square span slowed the reader on first encounter, this effect tended to diminish with practice; spaced unit had little effect upon reading speed. The reader found the newer arrangements less acceptable than the more traditional, but this feeling was less marked when the thought units in the arrangement were small rather than large. The chief ...

摘要：For two industrial groups (N =534, 269), the relationships among age, length of service, total earnings, satisfaction with earnings, and earnings aspirations and expectations were studied. For the groups of Indian workers studied, it was found that job satisfaction was highly related to income expectation, and that expectations are related to earnings. Income aspirations also were related to skill level and educational level.

摘要：The MMPI was administered in group form to approximately 300 undergraduate students. From this group 13 were selected who showed evidence of dissimulation. Nine appeared to be faking good and four faking bad. These 13 Ss were each carefully matched with control Ss who had similar raw-score MMPI profiles with no evidence of dissimulation. All Ss were again given the MMPI while being tested by a Keeler Polygraph. The findings tended to support the value of the validating scales, although many sp...
