Ambiguities in Watkins and Wiebe's Regression Analysis of the Mccarthy Scales of Children's Abilities
Depression in the young unemployed and those on Youth Opportunities Schemes
Using interviews and psychometric measures, this study compared the experiences and opinions of unemployment of four small groups of young people who were: unemployed, on a Youth Opportunities Placement Scheme, on a Youth Opportunities Project Scheme, or employed apprentices. It was found by means of the Beck Depression Inventory, that there were significant differences between the groups, with the employed being less depressed than the other thr…
A Factor Analytic Study of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities
S ummary . The anglicised version of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA) was administered to 89 41⁄4‐year‐old children in Stoke‐on‐Trent. Factor analysis gave some support for the construct validity of McCarthy's General Cognitive, Perceptual‐Performance, Verbal and Motor Indexes. However, no support was found for Memory or Quantitative Indexes. These results are considered in the light of previous studies of the construct validity…

The balance between fairness and discrimination
Research on intergroup relations by Tafel and others (e.g. Tafel et al., 1971; Billig and Taifel, 1973) has indicated that there are two opposing norms governing intergroup behaviour‐ norm for discrimination and a norm for fairness. The behaviour that results from social categorization represents a compromise between these opposing norms. The norm for discrimination is explained in terms of social comparison processes and the need to achieve a po…
Fairness and discrimination
It has previously been suggested that there is a generic norm of conflict between groups so that when a differentiation is perceived between one group and another there is a predisposition to discriminate against the outgroup. The present study investigates whether this norm of conflict operates in social situations involving differentiation over real issues, or to what extent behavior is modified by norms of fairness. The research examined Engli…
Subjective Value of Information
Research into the way information is processed has indicated that it is undervalued. There are suggestions that this may be the result of central mental processes, response bias or the method of measuring subjective probability. The research described here used confidence ratings and decision times as independent indices of subjective probability. These two measures were found to correspond closely in the findings. The results show two distinct e…
