Regression-Equivalent Effect Sizes for Latent Growth Modeling and Associated Null Hypothesis Significance Tests
The effect of an independent variable on random slopes in growth modeling with latent variables is conventionally used to examine predictors of change over the course of a study. This article demonstrates that the same effect of a covariate on growth can be obtained by using final status centering for parameterization and regressing the random intercepts (or the intercept factor scores) on both the independent variable and a baseline covariate–th…
Effect of Parameterization on Statistical Power and Effect Size Estimation in Latent Growth Modeling
The difference between groups in their random slopes is frequently examined in latent growth modeling to evaluate treatment efficacy. However, when end centering is used for model parameterization with a randomized design, the difference in the random intercepts is the model-estimated mean difference between the groups at the end of the study, which has the same expected value as the product of the coefficient for the slope difference and study d…
Changes in the Associations of Heavy Drinking and Drug Use with Intimate Partner Violence in Early Adulthood
Effect sizes for growth-modeling analysis for controlled clinical trials in the same metric as for classical analysis.
The use of growth-modeling analysis (GMA)--including hierarchical linear models, latent growth models, and general estimating equations--to evaluate interventions in psychology, psychiatry, and prevention science has grown rapidly over the last decade. However, an effect size associated with the difference between the trajectories of the intervention and control groups that captures the treatment effect is rarely reported. This article first revi…
Men's Aggression Toward Women: A 10-Year Panel Study
The present study examined the longitudinal course of men's physical and psychological aggression toward a partner across 10 years, using a community sample of young couples (N= 194) from at-risk backgrounds. Findings indicated that men's aggression decreased over time and that women's antisocial behavior and depressive symptoms predicted changes in men's aggression. This suggests the importance of studying social processes within the dyad to hav…
Are black-white differences in females' body dissatisfaction decreasing? A meta-analytic review.
Proponents of the sociocultural model of eating disorders have suggested that ethnic differences in body dissatisfaction may be diminishing as the thin ideal of beauty becomes more widely disseminated among minority women. In a meta-analysis, the authors examined temporal trends in Black-White differences and also examined whether these differences generalize across various age groups and measures. Results confirmed more favorable body image eval…
Gender Differences in Body Image Are Increasing
It has been speculated that the prevalence of eating disorders in women has risen because of increases in women's body dissatisfaction. We conducted a meta-analysis of gender differences in attractiveness and body image using 222 studies from the past 50 years. The analysis shows dramatic increases in the numbers of women among individuals who have poor body image. Moreover, these trends were found across multiple conceptualizations of body image…

The Effects of Physical Attractiveness, Race, Socioeconomic Status, and Gender of Defendants and Victims on Judgments of Mock Jurors: A Meta‐Analysis 1
A meta‐analysis of experimental research on mock juror judgments was conducted to assess the effects of physical attractiveness, race, socioeconomic status (SES), and gender of both defendants and victims to test the theory that jurors use characteristics that are correlated with criminal behavior as cues to infer guilt and to recommend punishment. In general, it was advantageous for defendants to be physically attractive, female, and of high SES…

Gender differences in personality: A meta-analysis
Four meta-analyses were conducted to examine gender differences in personality in the literature (1958-1992) and in normative data for well-known personality inventories (1940-1992). Males were found to be more assertive and had slightly higher self-esteem than females. Females were higher than males in extraversion, anxiety, trust, and, especially, tender-mindedness (e.g., nurturance). There were no noteworthy sex differences in social anxiety, …
Preliminary Validation of a Multidimensional Model of Wittiness
Past research on wittiness has found that ( a ) self‐ratings and peer ratings of wittiness are highly correlated, but neither type of rating is appreciably correlated with measured humor production, and ( b ) sociability is correlated with both types of wittiness ratings but not with humor production. An interpretation of these findings was provided by a multidimensional model of wittiness that conceptualizes wittiness as a factorially complex di…

Gender differences in mate selection preferences: A test of the parental investment model
Evolutionary-related hypotheses about gender differences in mate selection preferences were derived from Triver's parental investment model, which contends that women are more likely than men to seek a mate who possesses nonphysical characteristics that maximize the survival or reproductive prospects of their offspring, and were examined in a meta-analysis of mate selection research (questionnaire studies, analyses of personal advertisements). As…

Matching for attractiveness in romantic partners and same-sex friends: A meta-analysis and theoretical critique
Seventeen studies of similarity in physical attractiveness between members of romantic couples or pairs of same-sex friends, employing 34 independent samples of dyads, were retrieved. Meta-analysis found the interpartner correlation for attractiveness to be higher for romantic couples than for pairs of friends. For couples, the correlations were homogeneous across 27 samples, with an average correlation of .39 (.49 after correction for attenuatio…
Reliability of Score Differences on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence
In this analysis data from the WPPSI manual were examined to determine the reliability of the Verbal IQ-Performance IQ differential ( r = .81), of the differences between subtest scores (r̄ = .69), and of the differences between subtest scores and IQs (r̄ = .72). These findings indicated that WPPSI score differences were more reliable (because intercorrelations among scores were lower) than corresponding differences on the other Wechsler scales
The Effects of Differential Age Adjustment between the Wais and Wais-R on the Comparability of the Two Scales
A comparative inspection of the WAIS and WAIS-R IQ tables in their respective manuals indicated that there would be variable IQ discrepancies at different ages because of differential age adjustments on the norms of the two scales. The use of equivalent WAIS and WAIS-R sums of scaled scores derived from Wechsler's (1981) comparison of the two instruments to determine comparable IQs on the two tests at different ages demonstrated the predicted var…

Testing Equity as an Explanation for Romantic Couples “Mismatched” on Physical Attractiveness
According to the “equity theory” of interpersonal attraction, persons having romantic partners higher in physical attractiveness than themselves should have more desirable nonphysical attributes than those having less attractive partners. This hypothesis was tested. As expected, women who had better looking partners had better senses of humor and were lower in neuroticism than women who had partners less attractive than themselves. No significant…
Do Taller Men Have Prettier Girlfriends
Physical Attactiveness and Romantic Evolvement
Berscheid and Walster (1974) have concluded that dating preferences are determined by perceptions of physical anractiveness and that such perceptions are influenced by acquaintanceship with the individual one is assessing; more favorable evaluations are made for those whom we know. Romantic couples can be classed by the time the partners knew each other before a mutual attracrion developed. It is reasonable to hypothesize that members of couples …
The Validity of the Information and Vocabulary Subtests of the Wais for Predicting College Achievement
Reviews on the validity of the WAIS have shown that the Information and Vocabulary subtests are valid measures of general intelligence. The present review investigated the ability of each of these two subtests to predict college grade point average (GPA) compared to that of well-established college aptitude tests (ACE, ACT, SAT, SCAT). The means of the comparative validity coefficients indicated that in spite of their greater brevity, the Informa…
Validity of the Revised Beta Examination and a Short-Form Beta for Hospitalized Alcoholics
Although the Revised Beta Examination, a nonverbal measure of general intelligence, is one of the few group tests extensively validated for psychiatric patients in state hospitals, it has not been determined whether the instrument is useful for discriminating among alcoholic inpatients in state facilities. The Beta was administered to 494 detoxified alcoholics (471 men, 23 women), aged 20 to 60 yr. ( M = 3.99, SD = 10.1) and hospitalized in a sta…

Validity of the Beta II for Alcoholics
On the Internal Consistency of the Beta II
The internal consistency of the Beta II, a recent revision of the Revised Beta Examination, was examined for a sample of alcoholic inpatients (81 men, 19 women) of low ability and socioeconomic status. They were aged 19 to 65 yr. ( M = 36.6, SD = 9.2) and had been admitted for treatment at a state agency for rehabilitation for alcoholism. Pearson inter-correlations were reported as well as the correlations between subtests and the sums of scaled …
