One Obvious Reason Doctoral Programs in Psychology Use the Graduate Record Examination
Given that most doctoral programs in psychology have more applicants than openings, it is understandable that programs would focus on higher GRE scores which predict program completion better than lower scores
Retest Reliability of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised for 18- to 19-Year-Olds
Retest reliability of the WAIS-R for 18- to 19-yr.-olds was estimated for 44 undergraduates who took the test twice with 2 to 8 weeks between testings. The mean scores on subtests and IQs and the correlations of subtest scores and IQs were similar to the values obtained by Wechsler in 1981 with only two age groups, 25- to 34- and 45- to 54-yr.-old examinees

Women and Men Authors' Portrayal of Curiosity in Young Children's Literature
45 women and 20 men authors' portrayal of curiosity in young children's literature (116 instances) was studied using the same stories examined in an earlier analysis. Chi-squared analyses showed no significant difference between the two groups of authors in how they portrayed curiosity
Curiosity as Portrayed in Young Children's Literature
210 young children's picture-story books were read to examine how curiosity was portrayed. 116 instances of obvious curiosity were obtained. Each instance of curiosity was assessed in terms of how it was portrayed: neutral (being curious was simply descriptive), positive (being curious was clearly desirable), or negative (being curious was clearly undesirable). Analysis showed 76.7% of the instances portrayed curiosity as neutral, 9.5% were posit…
Comparison of the Cat and Cat-H with Third Grade Boys and Girls
Noting that some children may respond better to human stimuli than animal stimuli, the Children's Apperception Test-Human was developed (Bellak & Bellak, 1965). Subsequent research has generally shown the CAT and CAT-H to be equivalent in the responses they evoke (Haworth, 1966; Myler, Rosenkrantz, & Holmes, 1972; Neuringer & Livesay, 1970). Given the earlier maturity of children and the changes in social climate, it seems reasonable to reassess …
Statistical versus Clinical Significance in Research with the MMPI
Some of the contradictions in psychological research may be attributable to failure to distinguish statistical from clinical significance. 82 articles in which the MMPI was the research instrument were analyzed to see how often the results reported as significant were in fact large enough to warrant such a conclusion. Articles were classified as to whether or not the clinical interpretations were consistent with the statistical results. Excluding…
Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale Scores of Psychiatric Outpatients by Age and Sex
This study was designed to estimate the correlations of the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale with age and sex in a psychiatric outpatient sample. 378 male and 671 female clients of 13 to 89 yr. of age completed the scale as part of their admission to an outpatient psychiatric clinic. The scores were classified according to sex and age (in 10-yr. groups). Analysis showed some statistically significant differences according to age and sex, but the…

Comparison of Master's and Doctoral Level Psychologists in Recognizing Signs of Potential Suicide
30 doctoral-level and 43 master's-level psychologists completed a multiple-choice examination of factors from the lethality scale. The psychologists were all staff members of community mental health centers who received the examination (and returned it) by mail. The results showed no differences between the psychologists. Master's degree psychologists recognized as many signs as doctoral-level psychologists, and years of experience was shown to b…
Rationalization as the Major Defense in Hypochondriasis
Interpretations of hypochondriasis vary according to specific theories but share in common the association between psychological problems and somatic expressions of those problems. The exact nature of this psychological/somatic association is often vague and leaves the reader wondering exactly how a psychological problem may be expressed physically. For example, Freud (1914/1959) wrote of narcissism and the concentration of interest and libido up…
Counselor's Recognition of Factors in Lethality of Suicide
Counselors' recognition of factors in lethality of suicide was studied using the same scale of factors as was used in Holmes and Howard's study of other professional groups. 15 professors of counselor education, 12 post-secondary counselors, 47 secondary-level counselors, and 20 elementary-level counselors completed an examination of signs of suicide. The data for each of these groups are presented and analyzed and show counselors' recognition to…
Is Choking others Really Equivalent to Stamping One's Feet? An Analysis of Adaptive Behavior Scale Items
The specific items making up the domains on Part II of the Adaptive Behavior Scale were rated for degree of severity by 9 psychologists and 5 psychiatric social workers. On 12 of the 13 domains items were rated as significantly different in degree of severity
Use of the Lithium Response Scale with an Outpatient Psychiatric Sample
Two potentially useful MMPI Lithium Response Scales showed low ability to predict antidepressant responses to lithium therapy in an outpatient sample of 20
Comparison of Four Death Anxiety Measures
Four measures of death anxiety were compared to examine accuracy in classifying 87 subjects who would tour a funeral home (low death anxiety) or 74 subjects who would not tour a funeral home (high death anxiety). All measures were accurate, and none was superior to the others
Relationship between Personality Traits and Fear of Death
Personality traits and reported levels of death fear were compared for 75 individuals. The subjects were undergraduate men and women in psychology who completed the 16 PF and the Death Anxiety Scale. Five personality traits were associated with a high fear of death; however, none were to a degree that would allow the statement that people with a high fear of death are necessarily abnormal. Those with a high fear of death were relatively more easi…
An Auditory Von Restorff Effect
In this experiment 60 undergraduates were given a serial learning task to assess the possibility of an auditory von Restorff effect. Fifteen males and 15 females learned a list of nine words presented aurally (recorded) with the same male voice (control groups). Fifteen males and 15 females (experimental groups) learned the same list as the control groups except that the sixth word was spoken by a female voice: i.e., it was isolated. The results …
