Examining intuitive risk perceptions for cancer in diverse populations
In this article we examine intuitive dimensions of personal cancer risk likelihood, which theory and empirical evidence indicate may be important elements in the risk perception process. We draw on data from a study of risk perceptions in three social groups, university students, men living in the community, and primary care patients living in urban area. The study took place in 2007-2011, in New York State (Garden City and New York City) and Bos…

A Warning About Employing An Erroneous Procedure in Mixed Effects Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) Based On the Use of Bmd12V
The BMD12V MANOVA program does not compute the appropriate between-subjects tests in mixed effects designs. Although James (1979) recently suggested a technique for obtaining between-subjects tests, his formulas are shown to be incorrect. Suggestions are given for obtaining the appropriate statistics

Compulsivity, Manifest Anxiety, and Gullibility
This study investigated the correlations among compulsivity, as measured by the Breskin Rigidity Test, anxiety, as measured by the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, and gullibility, measured by Forer's technique. Anxiety scores of 44 undergraduate men and 54 women correlated .52 with gullibility scores, replicating previous findings. Compulsivity scores correlated −.23 with anxiety scores and were not related to gullibility scores ( r = −.15). These…

Investigation of the “Blue Seven Phenomenon” in Elementary and Junior High School Children
533 elementary and junior high school children were requested to write down a number between 0 and 9 and the name of a color. The number 7 and the color blue were by far the most frequently written ( p < .001 in both cases). These results were consistent with those obtained in an earlier study (Simon, 1971) with college students
EPPS Needs of Women Attending a Non-Coed Catholic College and those of the Normative Sample
The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS; Edwards, 1959) is one of the most frequently used instruments for measuring psychological needs. It measures, on an ipsative basis, the strength of 15 needs: Achievement, Deference, Order, Exhibition, Autonomy, Affiliation, Intraception, Succorance, Dominance, Abasement, Nurturance, Change, Endurance, Heterosexuality, and Aggression. The purpose of this study was to compare the EPPS needs of a sampl…
