摘要：To improve the efficiency of selection techniques, a method is proposed in which individuals whose criterion score predictability[long dash]as measured by the difference between their standard test scores and standard criterion scores[long dash]is high, are screened first on a measure (such as an occupational inventory) that correlates with this difference, and then those so screened are further screened on the basis of their test scores. An example based on data for two samples of taxicab dri...

摘要：Definitions and computation procedures for various temporal correlation techniques are presented. These techniques include serial correlations for discrete data and correlation functions for continuous data. Specifically described are autocorrelations for temporal relatedness within one series of data, and crosscorrelations for such relatedness between two series. These techniques are appropriate for discovery of both cyclical and noncyclical temporal phenomena. Various applications of tempora...

摘要：Operator efficiency in a key-pressing task was studied as a function of the positioning of the stimulus panel and response keyboard. Self-and automatic-pacing modes of presentation were used with the nine panel-keyboard combinations. Response time, error index, and latency (for automatic pacing only) measures were collected. No significant error differences were observed, but for each time measure the different treatments differed significantly. Location of the response keyboard was generally ...

摘要：It is pointed out that in the theoretical distribution of time intervals between consecutive accidents, short time intervals are much more frequent than long ones. An excess of short time intervals over long intervals between accidents is not itself, therefore, evidence of accident proneness. It must be shown that the excess is greater than that by the theoretical distribution.

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：The results show that the duration of a travel movement of fixed length may change as much as 50 per cent when it is associated with different forms of manipulation. Furthermore, the degree to which this travel movement changes during learning depends on the type of manipulative movement with which it is related. The results are discussed in relation to industrial time-and-motion study and in terms of their bearing on the general problem of integration of the component movements in motion..

摘要：A sentence-completion test designed to measure attitudes toward superiors and subordinates was administered to 312 Air Force cadets in advanced training. The test was scored with acceptable reliability, and showed a correlation of .32 with a direct attitude measure of the same dimension, and of .27 with an indirect measure based on an information test. Interpretation of these values is restricted due to a correlation of[long dash].45 with a direct scale of alienation, and the absence of signif...

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 measure of understandability is proposed as a supplement to reading ease measures such as the Flesch. In one application 9 sets of standard psychological test directions for which Reading Ease scores were computed, were rated by groups of Navy Aviation Cadets. It would appear that RE scores and understandability ratings were not measuring the same thing.

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...
