Possible Artifacts in Memory Assessment with the Wechsler Memory Scale–III
The Wechsler Memory Scale-III has a number of subtests on which scores can be influenced by random answering, malingering, and response sets as well as valid variance from memory functioning. Clinicians, researchers, and forensic psychologists need to take these possibly confounding sources into account when interpreting findings. Chance performance guidelines are presented along with some brief examples from clinical assessment
Assessment of Memory Functioning among an Aging Sample
To provide additional basic normative data and an enhanced understanding of memory functioning of older individuals, 100 subjects equally divided into 5-yr. age intervals from 60 to beyond 80, evenly split by sex and socioeconomic status, and balanced for racial composition were tested on 19 memory measures commonly used in clinical and neuropsychological assessment. While analyses indicated that 10 measures were significantly related to age, per…
Profile Validity Standards for MMPI and MMPI–2 F Scales
Although numerous indices of validity have been developed for the MMPI and MMPI-2, interest in the F scale and its variants continues, especially among practicing clinicians. The use of the binomial for assessing standards for random answering and possibly for judgments of malingering offers another approach for the interpretation of F-scale scores. The theoretical binomial distribution and Monte Carlo data are in accord. Cut-off scores of 24 for…
Does the Mmpi Ptsd- Pk Scale Measure Robustness
Research evaluating the diagnostic value of the MMPI PK scale for determining Posttraumatic Stress Disorder has been consistently positive. Various cut-off points have been suggested, depending on the population studied. The current study, involving a select group of police candidates from middle-sized midwestern towns, suggests that low PK scores may represent robustness. These subjects as a group made low use of health and mental health service…
MMPI Scores of Female Victims
Samples of MMPIs of women who were victims of abuse or manifested a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder were drawn from two private practice settings, one urban and one in a small town. Each PTSD sample included 21 persons. For comparison, two contrast samples of 15 persons each were drawn from the same populations. A cut-off point of T = 65 for PK yielded a 69% hit rate for classifying PTSD and contrast subjects. Since scores on PS and PK were so high…
Quick Test Scores among Persons over Sixty
The Quick Test was included as a descriptor variable in a larger study. This study presented normative data on 100 normal subjects ages 69–96 yr. Quick Test IQs do not appear to need age correction until 80 or more years. Approximately 10 points correction appears to equate this category with lower age categories
Leadership and the Perceived Effectiveness of Department Chairpersons
In the last several years, considerable attention has focused on the role, function, and evaluation of the academic department chairperson [2, 5, 13, 17, 43]. This recent attention is long overdue. Although the department chairperson's position has been widely acknowledged as vital to the operation of colleges and universities, it has suffered from a general lack of attention from educational researchers
Individual Difference in Serial Position Effects with Connected Discourse
The large body of evidence amassed about the serial-position effect has led to its description as one of the best esmblished and most pervasive phenomena in verbal (Slamecka, 1967, p. 111). In its most general form, the effect refers to a clear indication that with ordered items initial and final material appears to be more readily mastered than middle material. The basic curve consistently emerges even though its slope and symmetry have been exp…
Test of Social Inference for Retarded Adolescents: Measuring Social-Cue Perception
The Test of Social Inference is a 35-item individually administered, pictorial instrument designed to test the ability of retarded adolescents to interpret social cues appropriately. Very high interexaminer and high retest correlations were obtained though retest gains were common. Equivalent short forms have been developed. An examination of 1335 Ss in 9 geographical locations showed the test to be unbiased with respect to race and place of resi…
