R equivalent , Meta-Analysis, and Robustness
Rosenthal and Rubin introduced a general effect size index, r equivalent , for use in meta-analyses of two-group experiments; it employs p values from reports of the original studies to determine an equivalent t test and the corresponding point-biserial correlation coefficient. The present investigation used Monte Carlo—simulated meta-analyses to examine the impact on r equivalent effect sizes of research using independent-groups, pooled-variance…
Table for Conversion of Kendall'S Tau to Spearman'S Rho Within the Context of Measures of Magnitude of Effect for Meta-Analysis
In meta-analytic studies where one wishes to estimate magnitude of effects based on multiple investigations, it is important to recognize that Kendall's Tau, often considered equivalent to Spearman's Rho as an ordinal measure of correlation, in fact has a different metric. This article reviews formulae for converting Tau to Rho, Pearson's r, r 2 , Fisher's Zr, and Cohen's standardized range of means index of effect size, as well as presents a tab…
Stress-Related Symptoms among Dental Hygienists
A sample of 49 practicing dental hygienists responded to a survey which included Derogatis and Spencer's 1982 Brief Symptom Inventory, a measure of stress-related symptoms, and a list of items considered stressful based on previous research with hygienists, arranged in six content categories. As hypothesized, in comparison with national norms, hygienists displayed significantly more symptoms on the over-all inventory and also on eight of nine sub…
Conceptual and Motoric Impulsivity in College Students
Twenty-three college students of both sexes were given the adult version of Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test; tests requiring them to draw a line and a circle slowly vs. rapidly; and a motor inhibition task in which they were instructed to press a telegraph key in response to tones presented in the presence of only particular light displays. Ss also rated themselves on a scale of impulsivity. Neither number of errors nor response latencies …
Experience with Infants and Knowledge of Infant Care
Recently Gilpin and Glanville ( 1977 ) reported the standardization of the Experience with Young Children Scale. This scale lists 21 activities, e.g., changing a diaper, trimming nails, which adults perform for or with infants and toddlers; subjects receive a point for each item which they report having performed, so scores can range from 0 to 21. In the present study, it was hypothesized that scores on the scale, Experience with Young Children, …
Effects of Interpolated Stimulation on Retention of Habituation in the Earthworm
The effects of light stimulation interpolated during a rest interval were studied in a three-phase investigation of retention of habituation of the contraction response to air puff in the earthworm, L. terrestris (N = 48). Worms were assigned 16 per group to three conditions (zero, 24, or 48 air puffs) in Phase 1; half were given five stimulations of white light, and the others rested in Phase 2; in Phase 3 all animals received air puffs to habit…
Instructional Variations and Adults' Conceptual Tempo Performance
Forty-six college students were given the adult form of Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test twice, once under the standard (neutral) instructions, and a second time during which Ss were randomly assigned to one of three instruction groups. Two groups received instructions to minimize either response time or errors; a third group received neutral instructions. During the second administration, the group instructed to minimize response time show…
Intermodal Stimulus Generalization and Retention of Habituation in Earthworms
50 mature earthworms ( L. terrestris) were assigned randomly to one of five stimulus conditions in an experiment with three phases. In Phase I Group Light-Vibration-Light received 2-sec. presentations of white light (with an 18-sec. intertrial interval) to an habituation criterion; in Phase II vibration was presented on the same schedule; and in Phase III, which began 2 hr. after the end of Phase I, presentations of light were given. Group Vibrat…
Confounding Experimenter Effects in Conceptual Tempo Research
Recent attacks on measures used to assess conceptual tempo in children have pointed out a number of problems adhering in the techniques developed by Kagan and his colleagues (Kagan, Rosman, Day, Albert, & Phillips, 1964), including statistical, theoretical, and empirical issues (e.g., Block, Block, & Harrington, 1974). One point which seems to have escaped scrutiny is a possible confound resulting from differences among experimenters. The standar…
More Evidence for Psychological Correlates of Lexical Marking
25 college students were given a checklist listing names of 25 dimensions, and the lexically marked and unmarked antonyms describing the dimensions, e.g., evaluation: bad, good. Ss were instructed to choose which of each pair was closer in meaning to the dimension name. On 21 of the 25 dimensions, Ss chose the unmarked term, evidence indicating that they were able to utilize information about lexical marking, or some correlate thereof
