Effect of a Child's Physical Attractiveness on Verbal Scoring of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) and Personality Attributions
This investigation explored possible examiner bias in scoring the verbal subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised (WISC-R) due to facial attractiveness of the child. Male (n = 42) and female (n = 42) undergraduate students were trained to specific WISC-R scoring criteria. In a test condition, students were provided with a protocol that included a school record, photograph, and a tape-recorded response by a child; each stud…
Adolescent egocentrism
Ego identity status, conformity behavior, and personality in late adolescence
Three related studies were completed to test the predictive relation among identity status, personality, and conformity behavior. The investigations were undertaken to replicate the earlier research findings of Toder and Marcia (1973). As predicted in Study 1, personality differences were found for both sexes. However, no relation was observed between identity status and conformity on the Asch task. Study 2 was completed to confirm the reliabilit…
Perceived Feminine Role Orientation and Self-Concept
This study was designed to explore the relationships between perceived feminine role orientation and positive self-concept, as measured by scores attained on the Inventory of Feminine Values (IFV) and the Total Positive Scale of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS).

Suicidal and nonsuicidal groups performed significantly differently on three scales, Wanted Affection, Sociability, and Tolerance. There was a significant interaction on Wanted Affection between suicidal stat…
