A Short-Term Peer Model for Treating Shyness in College Students
Two groups of 3 shy college students and 4 in a control group, were not different at pretest but one group given treatment involving several activities with feedback showed a decrement in shyness. Larger groups and further use of peer counselors should be included in further work
An Examination of College GPA, Composite Act Scores, IQs, and Gender in Relation to Loneliness of College Students
This study examined the relationship for 57 college students of levels of loneliness with several cognitive-academic measures. Gender differences were found in loneliness, composite ACT scores, and a measure of intelligence. Hypotheses relative to cognitive-academic measures were not supported statistically. Some trends in the data are discussed

Factor Stability of the Comrey Personality Scales
Using Comrey's units of trait measurement, Factored Homogeneous Item Dimensions, the factorial composition of the eight personality scales was determined for two samples of Navy personnel— 663 enlisted men and 666 enlisted women. Comrey's original factor loadings for male and female samples were essentially replicated. Deviations in factor loadings on the Masculinity-Femininity Scale suggested that the composition of this scale should be reevalua…
Minority group differences in the background, personality, and performance of navy paramedical personnel
A comparison of 1091 black persons, 192 Hispanic persons, 186 Asian persons, and a random sample of 1785 white persons who entered Navy Hospital Corpsman and Dental Technician training revealed significant between-group differences on a number of aptitude, background, and personality measures. When participants in this research were divided into those individuals who had been fully qualified for paramedical training (high aptitude), those who had…
Non-Cognitive Variables Related to Performance in Navy “A” Schools
15 items from a background information questionnaire, administered to 7,929 students at the beginning of an occupational training program, were used as predictors of performance in 9 Navy “A” schools. The sample of students within each specialty was divided into validation and cross-validation subsamples; basis for this division was the criterion of 8 successive levels of final grade average or disenrollment from school. Although the multiple reg…
Social Status and Minority Recruit Performance in the Navy
Aptitude, motivation, training completion, and job survival measures were compared for 1,091 blacks, 192 Hispanics, 186 Asian, and 1,785 white recruits who entered Navy paramedical training during 1973. The minority groups were found to have lower aptitude and motivation scores, on the average, than the majority group, but tended to do as well as, and in some cases better than, the majority group on the performance measures. The effect of social …
The Comrey Validity Check Scale as a Predictor of Reliable Personality Test Data
Usefulness of the Comrey Validity Check scale score as an index of random or indiscriminate responding to the Comrey Personality Scales was evaluated on a sample of 7960 Navy paramedical personnel. Corrected split-half reliability coefficients were employed to assess the internal consistency of item responses, since it was assumed that random responders would provide inconsistent answers to the Comrey items. An examination of personality scale re…
Assessing the Psychosocial Characteristics of Occupational Training Environments
Two forms of the Insel & Moos' Work Environment Scale (WES) were administered to 589 Navy enlisted men and women, one at the beginning of a 14‐week paramedical training course (assessing expectations of what the occupational training environment would be like) and one eight weeks later (assessing perceptions of what the environment was actually like). Ten of the factors extracted from student responses to each form were rotated to simple structur…
Reliability and Stability of the Comrey Personality Scales
Split-half and retest reliabilities were computed on Comrey Personality Scales administered to 153 Navy Hospital Corpsmen on two occasions separated by about 5 mo. Corrected split-half reliabilities for the 8 personality trait scales were between .66 and .94, with an average of .87, on the first administration and between .68 and .94, with an average of .85, on the second administration. Retest reliabilities for these eight scales were between .5…
Success and failure among male and female navy paramedical specialists
A comparison of the sexes in Navy Hospital Corpsman (HM) and Dental Technician (DT) rating groups showed that men and women entering these Navy paramedical specialities differed on a number of background, aptitude, and personality dimensions. The same proportion of men and women completed training in the HM group, but significantly more DT women completed training thand did DT men. The proportion of men and women who were still in the Navy one ye…

Changes in Attitudes and Characteristics of Marine Recruits during the 1960S
Comparative analyses were computed upon 14 attitude items and 8 biographical characteristics of 3 samples of recruits who had entered Marine Corps basic training in 1961, 1967, and 1969. Results indicated that of the 3 samples, the 1961 sample had the most favorable attitudes toward aspects of the Marine Corps, whereas the recruits from the 1967 sample had the least favorable attitudes. The average recruit from the 1961 sample was characterized a…
Change in Marine Recruits' Attitudes Related to Recruit Characteristics and Drill Instructors' Attitudes
Mariαe recruits' attitudes toward the toughness of Marines, spirit among Marines, affiliation with the Marine Corps, and authority in the Marine Corps were assessed on four occasions during basic training. All 4 of these attitudes became more favorable, with the most significant changes having occurred during the first 3 wk. of training. Recruit-characteristic variables such as age, education, and aptitude were not related to individual differenc…
