Emotional Variables in Adolescence, and Their Stability and Contribution to the Mental Health of Adult Men
Trials and tribulations in the meta-analysis of treatment differences
A fair test of the Dodo bird conjecture that different psychotherapies are equally effective would entail separate comparisons of every pair of therapies.A meta-analysis of overall effect size for any particular set of such pairs is only relevant to the Dodo bird conjecture when the mean absolute value of differences is 0. The limitations of the underlying randomized clinical trials and the problem of uncontrolled causal variables make clinically…

The Counseling Relationship and Treatment Process and Outcome
Using significance tests to evaluate equivalence between two experimental groups
Equivalency testing, a statistical method often used in biostatistics to determine the equivalence of 2 experimental drugs, is introduced to social scientists. Examples of equivalency testing are offered, and the usefulness of the method to the social scientist is discussed

Multivariate Analysis Of Gang Delinquency
A sample of gang members and a comparison group of club boys are compared on eleven factors from the Objective-Analytic Personality Factor Battery. It is found that gang and club boys differ significantly on five of the personality factors, with club boys being more assertive, more exuberant, and more realistic. The gang boys show more manic smartness and less self-realization. Possible relationships between these variables and type of delinquent…

Conjoint Psychotherapeutic Experience
In our previous reports we have specified the empirical structure of patients' and therapists' experiences in psychotherapeutic sessions. The present report explores the structure of experience within the therapeutic dyad -- conjoint experience. Seven factors were derived from the reports of 28 patient-therapist pairs. One factor reflected the therapist's approach to his role as a help-giver, and another reflected the patient's approach to her ro…

Multivariate Analysis of Gang Delinquency
A sample of gang members and a Comparison Group of club boys are com- pared with reference to national norms for age, height and weight of juveniles. Possible relationships between these variables and five Behavior Factor Scores are examined. It is found that the gang boys are shorter than club boys at the sub-groups as well as the aggregate level. It is also found that gangs differ among themselves on age, height and weight. These differences ar…

Birth Order and Responsibility
This questionnaire study of a large conventional sample represents an attempt to test hypotheses about birth order which were generated from an impressionistic survey of eminent men. The main hypothesis was that the first of sex-due to an interaction with parents who are more requiring of compliance with moral injunctions and adult expectations-tend (in comparison to the later of sex) to internalize more strongly these injunctions and expectation…

A Method for Correcting Item-Total Correlations for the Effect of Relevant Item Inclusion
ONE method for item-analyzing a scale involves the assessment of item-total correlations (see Guilford, 1954, pp. 417-443). Using this method one simply computes the correlation of each item with the sum of the items (total score) and eliminates those items that seem to be more poorly correlated with the total. The most rigorous way of pursuing this procedure would involve correlating each item with the sum of the remaining items (total minus the…

Empirical Note on the “Number of Factors” Problem in Factor Analysis
This paper illustrates a practical method for determining the number of factors to be extracted from a matrix of sample correlations. Although a number of criteria have been proposed (cf. Cattell, 1952; Harman, 1960), many are cumbersome, while those that are not often lead to contradictory decisions. Tryon ( 1960) has shown that in the use of tests suggested by Coombs ( 1941 ) and Tucker (Thurstone, 1938), the extraction of an additional factor …

Multivariate Analysis Of Gang Delinquency
In continuity with delinquency area research, the study examined the neighborhood characteristics of 16 delinquent gangs in Chicago, 1960. Compared with city norms, gang neighborhoods were lower on Borgatta-Hadden census tract factors of Sodo-Economic Status and Stable Family; higher on Disorganization-deprivation; not different on the Suburb factor. Measures of gang behavior were taken from the Short-Tennyson-Howard rated behavior factors: Confl…

Direction Of Measurement And Profile Similarity
Recently, Tellegen (1965), in his discussion of the influence of direction of measurement on the analysis of test characteristics, pointed out that similar problems can exist in the assessment of profile similarity. This paper reports two empirical analyses which demonstrate that the correlations between personality test profiles are meaningfully affected by decisions concerning direction of measurement. Reflection of scales in a profile can alte…
Some Vicissitudes of Chain P-Factor Analysis
In a Chain P-factor analysis the elimination of the between person variance reduces the contribution of “true score” variance to the true score-total score variance ratio based on the reduced scores. Factors which emerge in such an analysis may unduly reflect the influence of error variance and demand caution in their interpretation. An expanded criterion of meaningfulness was proposed which contrasted an obtained solution with a randomly generat…

Multivariate Analysis of Gang Delinquency
Measures of structural and dynamic properties of gangs are developed: size, differentiation, primary pattern strength, competing pattern strength, and territorial dispersion; and cohesiveness, uniformity of attitude, and felt effectiveness. Except for size and dispersion, all measures are derived from applications of cluster and factor analysis. Evidence of construct validity is provided. The measurements are then related to mean scores on five f…
The Therapist's Experience of Psychotherapy
Eleven dimensions of therapists' experiences during psychotherapy ses- sions were derived, factor analytically, for a sample of 17 therapists. These therapists completed a standard questionnaire after each of 8 or more sessions with 31 female patients. In general, the 11 dimensions reflected various experiences of (a) being helpful towards patients, (b) attempting to deal with difSicult patients, (c) making non-therapeutic responses to patients, …
