  • Use of Population-Specific Parameters in Generating Wais—R Short Forms

    Open AccessJ J Cyr, Lucy AtkinsonARTICLEPsychological Reports1991

    One method of increasing the validity of WAIS-R short forms in estimating the standard WAIS-R Full Scale IQ is by using population-specific parameters in generating WAIS-R short forms. Three studies were conducted to evaluate (1) the contribution of age-scaled scores in generating accurate short-form Full Scale IQ, (2) the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of WAIS-R subtests with a heterogeneous psychiatric population and subsequ…

  • Investigating the Lunar-Lunacy Relationship

    Open AccessJ J Cyr, R A KalpinARTICLEPsychological Reports1988

    A series of questions, generated by Rotton and Kelly in response to Cyr and Kalpin's refutation of literature reviews which recommended that attempts to validate the lunar hypothesis be terminated, are addressed. We maintain that it is preferable for researchers to question whether any hypothesis is deemed tenable only after the most advanced methodologies and statistical analyses have been applied rather than to stop all investigations in an are…

  • Geophysical Variables and Behavior

    Open AccessJ J Cyr, R A KalpinARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    Authors of several published studies and important reviews have recommended that attempts to validate the lunar hypothesis be terminated. It is suggested in this reply to these critics that such recommendations are premature on the basis that the literature is replete with haphazard attempts at confirmation prior to demonstrating replicable findings. Several reasons are provided which may account for the failure to obtain reliable results in the …

  • Selection of the Appropriate Number of Factors

    Open AccessJ J Cyr, Lucy AtkinsonARTICLEPsychological Reports1986

    Based on a factor analysis of the SCL-90, Evenson, et al. in 1980 suggested that a 12-factor solution best described their data. In light of previous literature and a close examination of the Evenson, et al. data, it is suggested by the present authors that only five factors should have been interpreted. Selection of the appropriate number of factors should be based on multiple indicators prior to labeling and interpretation

  • School refusal

    Lucy Atkinson, Bruce Quarrington et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry1985References: 51

    Finer discrimination among school refusers may help clear the confusion surrounding the school refusal syndrome. This paper reviews two aspects of the literature-that dealing with etiological theories and that which explicitly addresses the heterogeneity of the school refusal concept. Variables that consistently emerge as potential discriminators among school refusers are identified, and an attempt is made to determine their interrelationships
