Inter-Test Correlations of Celt Subtests and Total Celt Scores for ESL Students
Only two studies using the CELT have been reported. Moran (1978) found a correlation of .80 between the CELT structure subtest and the Stanford Intermediate Level I Reading Comprehension Test. He provided a table which enables ESL teachers to estimate United States grade equivalent reading scores from CELT structure scores. The second study, by Hosley and Meredith (1979), presented a correlation coefficient of .75 between the CELT listening compr…
Sex-Role Attitudes of Australian and United States Women's Rights Activists
This study compared views of sex roles of Australian and United States women's rights demonstrators. Responses to the items of the questionnaire indicated that the 134 Australians were somewhat more conservative than the 392 United States marchers. In these samples teenagers were more concerned about child care, and married or widowed people were more conservative about marriage. As in previous studies, even the more liberal males who attended wo…

For 100 to 105 students who were tested before and after a 45-min. classroom examination, test-retest correlations ranged from .66 (first and second administrations of A-State of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) to .83 (second administration of A-Trait and second administration of A-State)
Relationship of State and Trait Anxiety to Grades in Educational Psychology
101 undergraduate students in educational psychology were assigned the writing of their own examination items. The best and worst of these items were used to compose two forms of a classroom test. The students were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before and after taking both forms of this test. Students tended to score higher on the good items ( p < .05) and the more State Anxious students tended to have lower course grades

Demographic and Self-Report Characteristics of Lesbians
82 Lesbians completed questionnaires concerning their characteristics. 80% accepted themselves as Lesbians, 74% did not consider themselves as either “Butch” or “Femme,” the majority had their first Lesbian experience between 15 and 19 yr. of age. All but two of the Lesbians reported they were mentally healthy. The majority thought they would be fired from their jobs if their employers knew they were gay, but only one had such experience
Test-Retest Reliabilities of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory in an Academic Setting
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) is based on state-trait conceptualization of anxiety as consisting of two separate concepts, state anxiety ( A-State) and trait anxiety (A-Trait) . State anxiety is considered a transitory emotional state that is characterized by consciously perceived feelings of tension and apprehension. Trait anxiety refers to relatively stable individual differences in anxiery proneness.…
Views of Deviants by College Students
This study is based on a hypothesis developed by Simmons (1969) that people tend to view those who differ from themselves as deviants, resulting in discrimination. T o test this hypothesis a modified version of Simmons' questionnaire was given in 1973 (Joesting, Ogus, & Joesdng). The purpose of this present study was to gather information concerning views of deviant groups by college students attending a college on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The q…
Male and Female Prison Inmates' Differences on MMPI Scales and Revised Beta IQ
MMPI protocols of all male and female prisoners in the North Carolina Correctional System in 1971 were compared. Female inmates had significantly higher ( p < .01) IQs than did the males. With the exception of the Ap, L, and K scales, males had statistically significant higher means on all MMPI scales. Women were only higher on the Ap and K scales. The males appeared significantly more emotionally disturbed, which suggests that emotionally distur…
Further Evidence of Test-Retest Reliability of Group Personality Projective Test
On the Group Personality Projective Test (Cassel & Kahn, 1961) for each of 90 drawings of stick figures S chooses one among five options. The test is designed to assess amount of anxiety-producing tension and the levels of certain psychological needs present for Ss at the time of testing (Cassel & Kahn, 1961 ) . Although Cassel and Kahn ( 1961 ) do not give the duration of periods between the two administrations for their reliability smdies, thei…
Correlations among Different Forms of the Quick Test

Torrance's Creative Motivation Inventory and its Relationship to Several Personality Variables
Several authors have suggested that intuition or extrasensory perception is related to creativity (Hutchinson, 1959; Levine & Stowell, 1963; Murphy, 1963; Krippner, 1962-3; Rush, 1964), and other authors have stated that curiosity is one of the components of creativity (Taylor & Harding, 1967; White & Williams, 1965). Penney and McCann (1964) developed a test of reactive curiosity for intermediate grade children and reported a significant correla…
Position Effects and Target Material in ESP
The first and third segments of a mail-in precognition test involving over 100,000 adolescent Ss used standard ESP targets while the second and fourth segments used words as targets. 50 male and 50 female protocols with high scores on the first segment and low scores on the second segment were used in the pilot study, there being twice as many of each sex for the replication. Both pilot and replicating studies showed significantly higher scoring …
The Picture Interpretation Test and its Relationship to the Stanford-Binet
Textbooks for introductory psychology courses occasionally mention that perception and verbal learning are related (Munn, 1966; Kimble & Garmezy, 1968) . Visual perception of and comprehension of pictures are apparently learned through looking ac pictures in books, asking questions abour them, and being encouraged to make judgments about them (Torrance & Aliotti, 1968) . Joesting and Joesting (1971) previously obtained a Pearson product-moment co…
Correlation of Scores on the Picture Interpretation Test and Stanford-Binet Form L-M Iqs
The consequences of early deprivation of perception have been discussed by Bruner (1966). Torrance (1966) found that over 60% of disadvantaged black children made gross misperceptions of a picture used in the oral administration of the Ask-and-Guess Test. The skills of learning to read a picture are apparently learned through looking at pictures in books, asking questions about them, and being encouraged to make judgments about them (Torrance & A…
