Developmental Self-Concept and (Self-Reported) Drug Use
Authors describe two adjectival, pair-comparisons, self-concept scales (one for males, one for females). Both reflect development in self-concept during adolescence. Both cross-validate. Both predict concurrent, self-reported drug-use behavior: beer and wine, cigarettes, hard liquor, marijuana (males only), and LSD (males only)
Self-Concept and Attitude
Authors report limited success in relating scores on tailor-made, pair-comparisons, adjectival measures of self-concept to scores on primary social-attitude variables: Religionism ( r = .10), Humanitarianism ( r = .17, p < .05), and Nationalism ( r = .17, p < .05)
Self-Concept and Job Satisfaction
Authors outline procedures to construct 6 pair-comparisons, satisfaction-based, self-concept scales and show only one to produce scores related to employee satisfaction/dissatisfaction
Forced-Choice Adjectival Masculinity-Femininity Scale
Es outline the steps in the development of an M-F scale having as its differentiating items 67 of those included in Ferguson's pair-comparisons self-assessment scale (Ferguson, 1970). Four replications show the scale to have sex-differentiating power
Public-Service Drug-Use Scales
In several counties in Ohio drug use by school-going teenagers has been found to be less than many have supposed. The author describes the development of four-item drug-use scales for beer and wine, cigarettes, hard liquor, marijuana, speed, LSD, and “other” drugs. He shows drug use to increase with grade level (7th to 12th); boys to outrank girls
Primary Social Attitudes of the 1960s and Those of the 1930s
The author reports a duplication, upon the basis of data secured in the 1960s, of factor analyses conducted and reported in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He shows, in general, that the factor structure of three primary social attitudes (Religionism, Humanitarianism, and Nationalism) was in the late 1960s nearly the same as it was in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Differences, when they appear, imply that the structure in the more recent period…
Self-Concept and Religious Belief
Upon the basis of total scores assigned, 35 stildents (the top 27% were designated most religious; 60 students (the middle 46% ) , moderately religious; and 35 (the lowest 27% ), least religious. For each of these groups the authors determined the number and the per cent of students who on the Who-amI? test gave religious-related responses in defining self: (a) 57% .(20 out of 35) of the most group; 37% (22 out of 60) of the moderately group; and…
Experimental Test of Dissonance Reduction
Self-assigned low grades on an unannounced quiz on cognitive dissonance created (in accord with hypothesis) sufficient dissonance to cause 69% of a group of 29 students to express unfavorable attitudes toward the quiz (or professor responsible for the quiz). Only 23% of a control group of 13 students who assigned themselves high grades did likewise
Production, Service, and Productivity
The author shows how, via a linear-programming approach, a life-insurance company can determine objectively minimum and maximum limits for optimum debit size. The requirements are two policy decisions (the minimum allowable compensation and the minimum allowable productivity level) and the determination of the functional relation between sales performance (as measured by new-business commissions) and debit size (as measured by service commissions…
