It is believed that late respondents or those who do not respond to various survey methodologies represent a distinct group of individuals that bias samples in unknown ways. Although little research has been done to examine such differences, this article analyzes a research project that was able to secure a 99% resp…

Ecologic-biochemical approaches to treatment of delinquents and criminals
Human interaction as a type of variable
A review of empirical findings which differentiated between the effects of social and non-social variables in the determination of human conduct found non-social variables most frequently to have been superior.

A self‐rating scale which required the conceptualising of attitudes in numerical rather than verbal terms was devised as the principal instrument and the results of its application were compared with those from two traditional at…
