摘要：An empirical study is reported comparing biserial r and triserial r for 100 samples from each of three populations (product-moment r''s of .28, .66, and .91). The empirical standard deviations of triserial r were consistently lower than the standard errors of biserial r. Furthermore, ...the simple formula can be safely used when the high and low groups do not differ by more than .10..

摘要：For a two-celled chi-square where d is the discrepancy between the observed and expected frequency, X2 is the value of chi-square at the required level of confidence for 1 d.f., and N is the number of cases, the relationship is graphed for X2 at the .01 and .05 levels of confidence. From the graph, the size of d may be compared with N to determine whether the discrepancy exceeds chance expectancy at or beyond these levels of confidence.

摘要：The evaluation of selective devices merely by simple correlations with single criterion variables is insufficient. Three dimensions of criteria that pose embarassing and confusing questions are discussed: Static dimensionality, or the problem of multiple performance measures that are not determined by the same general factors; dynamic dimensionality, or the problem of changes in criterion performance over time; and the criterion dimensionality of the individual[long dash]two individuals may b...

摘要：By correlation analysis of the nomination scores assigned to 402 supervisory employees of various ages by higher level nominators of various ages, the possibility of age-on-age bias in an operating situation has been investigated. Although other investigators have found biases of attitudes of one age group toward another, operationally, bias as here defined was not found. Thus correlations between age of those nominated and nomination scores did not differ significantly or systematically among...

摘要：74 students enrolled in an elementary psychology course taught through 2 weekly television sessions and 2 weekly discussion-group sessions were asked (1) whether they would take another course using television and (2) whether the on-campus discussion added anything. 70% of the Ss answered YES to the first question, and 42% answered YES to the second. Open-ended responses revealed reasons for the answers given.

摘要：101 high school seniors, who had taken the Diagnostic Reading Test, read ten 100-word passages judged to be of equal interest but varied systematically in Reading Ease score from 5 to 95 at 10-point intervals and took brief objective-type Comprehension Tests on them. In general, differences between mean comprehension scores for adjacent RE levels were significant at the 5% level. From these findings it is inferred the Flesch RE scores do adequately estimate the comparative difficulty in compre...

摘要：Proficiencies in the control of several simulated aircraft instruments were appraised throughout 7 hr. of work to determine if the control of marginally located instruments suffered greater progressive impairment than did the control of those instruments located centrally on the instrument panel. Progressive decrement in proficiency occurred for all instruments, but the rates of decline were not found to be significantly different. It is concluded that in a similar work situation, dissociative...

摘要：A modified item-iteration procedure was used in the construction of a self-administering biographical inventory comprising 10 relatively independent, homogeneous, and reliable subscales. The inventory consists of factual questions that are assumed to be less productive of distorted response or unpleasant emotional associations than items usually constituting personality inventories. Limitations of use in its present form, and deficiencies of sampling are discussed, and future development plans...

摘要：The most valuable interview is reported to be a standardized one, designed to assess complex, dynamic constellations of traits rather than relatively isolated, static traits. A standardized preemployment interview yielding six attitude scores was given to 46 workers, and validated against supervisory ratings. It is concluded that, properly used, the interview can play a reliable part in the overall assessment of an individual''s qualities..

摘要：Normative data on the AGCT, Bennett, and Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board tests are reported for 1,011 students enrolling in a large, privately endowed industrial institute. The norms are compared with those for other groups given in the manuals for the tests. Some data on test-retest reliabilities are also given. These data are part of a larger study of the prediction of success in trade school courses by means of tests and background factors..
