Consistency of Recall of Sexual and Drug-Using Behaviors for Homeless Persons with Dual Diagnosis
Cross-Validation of Differences Between Users and Non-Users of Senior Centers
Discriminant analysis was used to compare users and non-users of senior centers in two samples of older adults. The model accurately classified 70-80% of the two samples. This was the first study to cross-validate findings both within and between samples. Included in the model were variables from four domains; predisposing, enabling, need, and linkage to the older adult service system. Variables measuring linkage to the service system explained m…
Verbal and nonverbal modality effects on impressions of political candidates: Analysis from the 1984 presidential debates
Two experiments examined the role of presentation modality in evaluations of Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale during the second Presidential debate in the 1984 campaign. In the first experiment, 219 subjects were presented selected segments from the debate in one of four following conditions: (1) audiovisual, (2) visual only, (3) audio only, or (4) text. Although Reagan was rated more favorably than Mondale in all of the conditions, Reagan's adva…
Development and cross-validation of a system for classifying homeless persons
The present study used cluster analysis to empirically derive and cross-validate a system for classifying homeless persons on the basis of their service needs. Variables used in the subgroup identification phase of the study included psychopathology, alcoholism, social support, socioeconomic status, and health status. Four subgroups were identified: (1) an economically disadvantaged group, (2) an alcoholic group, (3) a mentally ill group, and (4)…
A Comparison of Taxonomic Systems for Classifying Homeless Men
The present study compared the relative merits of two taxonomic systems for classifying homeless men. One system classified homeless men based on their past history of psychiatric disability. The other system classified individuals on the basis of their current psychiatric impairment. Both classification systems displayed significant discriminating power using a set of predictor variables that included demographic variables, childhood happiness, …
Prof: A Computer Program for Analyzing Group Differences Based Upon Profile Data
Dependent variables in psychological research often take the form of test profiles. A computer program is described which provides comprehensive information on profile differences among independent groups based upon profile centroid separation, shape, elevation, and scatter. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate measures of strength of association, test of homogeneity of covariance matrices, and comparative mean plots also are provi…
Personality Types in Data from California Psychological Inventory as Defined by Cluster Analysis
The study compared the three personality types delineated by Burger and Cross by obverse factor analysis with those disclosed by an average linkage cluster analytic technique. The data were from three subsamples of 85 men who completed the California Psychological Inventory for Burger and Cross. The standard score profiles within each sample were intercorrelated and then cluster analyzed. Four profile types were replicated across the three subsam…
Affection and Evaluation as Logical Processes of Meaningfulness Independent of Associative Frequency
The concept of Reinforcement Value (RV) has been used by logical learning theory as the methodological equivalent of affection. Osgood's Evaluation (E) dimension shares methodological similarities with RV which Potency (P) and Activity (A) do not. Two experiments were conducted which tested the proposition that RV and E are related if not identical methodological constructs. The first experiment (N = 43 male and female undergraduates) employed a …
The California Psychological Inventory and the Semantic Differential Dimensions
The feasibility of describing first order factors and scales of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) by using the factors of the semantic differential and rated adjustment and introversion-extraversion was investigated in samples of 150 male and 80 female college students. Results indicated that both the semantic differential and the ratings significantly overlapped with the CPI, but that the degree of the relationship was not large enoug…
A Short Form of the California Psychological Inventory
The number of items in the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) was reduced from 480 to 240 by selecting items representative of factors obtained by separate factor analyses of the 18 scales. Correlations of the short form with the standard scales, the factor structure of the short form, cross-validated regression equations to estimate standard scale scores, and test-retest reliability coefficients indicated that the short form was a reasonab…
Developmental trends in children's perceptions of parental child-rearing behavior
Perceived Dimensions of Religious Experience
The purpose of this study was to determine whether college students perceive examples of religious experience along the dimensions suggested by Stark (1965). Two groups of fifty male volunteers each were obtained from a private Catholic college and a Catholic seminary and asked to rate the similarity between examples of Stark's types of religious experience. The data from each of the two groups were subjected to a non-metric multi-dimensional sca…
Children's reports of parental child-rearing behavior at five grade levels
Special Incomplete Sentences Test for Underachievers: Further Research
Three brief studies are presented. In Study I the original validation group of normal high school students and underachievers for the Special Incomplete Sentences Test are shown to give different responses on this test from high school students who are extremely high achievers. Study II presents a factor analysis of the test scores. Study III shows several significant correlations with anxiety scores. The positive findings indicate that further r…
