  • Adaptation of a General Optimism Scale for Use with Older Women

    Open AccessPatricia A Sharpe, Tom Hickey et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1994

    The Life Orientation Test has been widely used with various populations since its development, but its psychometric properties among older adults have not been assessed. This study employed exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of a modified version of the test for 90 frail older women.

  • Improving Effectiveness of Interviewing

    Open AccessCherry McPherson, Fredric M Wolf et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1983

    117 medical students' performance on Carkhuff's Discrimination Index improved significantly after skills training.

  • A Cross-Sectional Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis of Mathematics Achievement and Attitudes

    Open AccessFredric M Wolf, Sonya L BlixtARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1981

    Results of the differences between cross-lagged panel correlations and of the consistency of them for 2,429 students within the first eight grades weakly suggested that attitudes toward mathematics is causally predominant over mathematics achievement for what variance is shared in common. The correlations, which were generally positive and low, were strongest within the fourth through the seventh grades

    Open AccessGlenn A Saltzman, Fredric M Wolf et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1981

    Medical students' performance on Carkhuff's Communication and Discrimination Indexes improved significantly as a result of a 9-wk. training program.

    This study elaborated upon the internal-external locus of control dimension in cross-national achievement research by including a measure of a stable-unstable dimension, four individual causal attributions (ability, effort, context, and luck), and success and failure conditions. Subjects were 684 university students from India, Japan, South Africa, the United States, and Yugoslavia, majoring in education, social science, and physical science. Res…
