摘要：Test performance of 215 passing medical students was compared with that of 29 drop-outs because of scholastic failure. Mean score differences were computed for 9 measures, including high school rank, 2 honor-point ratio (grade) measures, ACE, Coop English Test, Medical College Admission Test, Minn. Medical Aptitude Test, SVIB, MMPI. Successful students make significantly higher pre-med course grades, Minn. Medical Aptitude Test scores, ACE scores, and lower scores on the L-scale of the MMPI. T...

摘要：Prior to the football season, 253 USC students completed a questionnaire indicating their intentions for attending each game, and their attitudes toward football games. They subsequently reported attendance at each game, . . . although predictions of future behavior were not highly valid and the predictive validity of the attitude scale used was less high, a high degree of predictive validity might be secured by grouping individuals into categories determined by both attitude-scale scores and ...

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：400 male omnibus conductor job applicants were given a 2-part personality measure (emotional maladjustment and sociability), 100 each under one of the following 4 conditions: before selection, paper-and-pencil administration; after being notified of selection, paper-and-pencil administration; a box-and-card administration under each of the 2 selection circumstances. The selection circumstances significantly affected the distribution of scores on the emotional maladjustment scale, but not on th...

摘要：Results are reported on use of the ODT-Spanish form with young adult students in Puerto Rico that suggest that the test effectively covers a very wide range of ability, and should prove useful in the United States where an intelligence score is needed.

摘要：A simplified pins-into-holes assembly task was used to study the interrelation of perceptual processes and work movements, by varying the locus of a perceptual cue within a repetitive patterned motion. First, it is apparent that a perceptually loaded component takes significantly longer than its counterpart which involves less perceptual load. Secondly, placing a perceptual cue in one part of a work cycle not only affects the duration of that part of the cycle, but also significantly affects t...

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：In an attempt to introduce the lesser transparency of forced-choice technique into the study test area, preference and discrimination indices were first computed from the responses of 99 over- and underachievers to 300 attitude, skill, and unclassified items. 30 Richardson-type, forced-choice blocks were next submitted to 300 students....Skill and attitude statements appeared to contribute about equally to the validity. The total test scores did not correlate significantly with sex or class (y...
