The Work Components Study (Wcs)
The present study, through reanalysis of earlier data and the analysis of data from a new sample, reports on the refinement of the Work Components Study (WCS). An earlier study yielded six scores but the present one suggests that one of them should be broken into two, yielding seven scores. It is shown that the internal consistency of these scores is satisfactory and that the scores are relatively independent of each other. Finally, the utility o…

Geophagy (Dirt Eating) Among Mississippi Negro School Children
Some Major Problems in the Quantification of Social Attitudes
Attitudes, attitude tests, attitude testers! C. Bird says that 1,500 articles have been written in the last 20 years on social attitudes.' And here is one more! But it is not number 1,501, for over a hundred have appeared since he wrote in 1940. Since then the American Youth Commission alone has published a series of volumes on the attitudes of Negro youths. Imagine trying to find out what a Negro youth thinks away in his heart about the world in…
Scaling Experience by a Multiple-Response Technique
SOCIAL experience can be scaled. That is the major hypothesis of this paper.' In testing this hypothesis, the word experience has suffered certain restrictions: (i) we refer to the experiences which white Americans have had with Negroes; (2) we refer to experiences which evoke variable responses, depending upon the individual and his life situation; (3) we avoid references to experiences of a tabooed nature; and (4) we refer to the pencil marks p…
