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:... 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.
