Seasonal Changes in Rule Infractions among Prisoners
To test the temperature-aggression hypothesis, seasonal changes in aggression as indexed by reported rule infractions were studied for prisoners located at the Patuxent Institution, Jessup, Maryland. 5383 reports of rule infractions occurred between July 1987 and March 1991. Rule infractions occurred more frequently during the hot summer months than the three other seasons of the year. This summer effect, though significant, is only a few percent…
Geophysical Variables and Behavior
Seasonal changes in mood using the Addiction Research Center Inventory (ARCI) were tested in 243 male opioid addicts when they were free of drug and withdrawal effects. No significant changes were found on scales which measure euphoria (MBG), tension-anxiety (LSD), excitement (Ex), or dysphoric effects (SOW). A significant difference between seasons was found for lowered motivation (PCAG) in the summer and spring relative to winter, but these eff…
Liking of the First Drug Experience
Opiate addicts ( n = 67) were asked how much they liked their first experience with 10 drugs and the number of trials required to like each drug. The initial experience with cocaine was the most well-liked but it could not be differentiated from heroin which was liked second best. The order of liking scores for the other drugs were morphine, marijuana, methadone, Benzedrine, codeine, cigarettes, “goofballs” (barbiturates), and alcohol. Liking of …
Does the Frequency of Definitions for a Particular Drug in Slang Dictionaries Predict Quantity of Knowledge of the Slang
The percentages of opiate addicts (N = 83), alcoholics (N = 23), and normals (N = 23) who knew 278 slang words that refer to heroin, Benzedrine (stimulants), alcohol, “goofballs” (barbiturates), and “reefers” (marijuana) were correlated with the corresponding number of definitions for these words in 13 slang dictionaries. The correlations between the percentages of knowledge of words and the corresponding frequency of definitions for all classes …
Using Four Chance Profiles to Evaluate Carelessness
By comparing the similarity of a subject's scores with individualized chance scores, a test can be validly evaluated for carelessness. A fixed individualized chance score on any scale for a subject can be estimated with the subject's total percentage of true responses. A sum of D 2 /100 is then determined between the actual and chance scores. The method is regarded as generally applicable to tests which have many scales. Using the Social Experien…
The Language of Addiction Scales; Validity Generalization of Effects of Labeling as Drug Addict or Alcoholic
Scales of 30 pairs of drug- and alcohol-related items of identical verbal content (except for the drug labels) significantly differentiated opiate addicts from alcoholics only on the addict scale, while alcoholics were differentiated from mental patients, prison inmates, normals and drug addicts on the alcohol scale
Manual for Alcoholic Scales of the Inventory of Habits and Attitudes (IHA)
Scales designed to show individual differences in alcoholics and differences between alcoholics and other groups were developed by factor analytic and empirical methods using personaliry, demographic, and alcohol experience items from the Inventory of Habits and Attitudes (IHA). IHA was constructed by Monroe and Hill as a matched form of their Personal Inventory (PI). PI was designed to measure characteristics of opiate addicts, especially Accept…
Implications of Eysenck's Criterion Analysis for Test Construction
Contrast Effect on Subjective Experience in Drug Experiments
Contrast effects in an experiment involving no-drug, placebo, and seven drugs were postulated on the basis of Helson's adaptation level theory. For 250 male opiate addicts, it was expected and found that general subjective experiences peculiar to drugs were smaller for no-drug or placebo conditions when these conditions were administered after rather than before potent drugs such as morphine or LSD
Subjective Effects of Acute Withdrawal of Alcohol as Measured by the Addiction Research Center Inventory (Arci)
Four groups of male alcoholics (N = 163), who were withdrawn from alcohol at the Willmar State Hospital, were given the Addiction Research Center Inventory (arci) with supplemental questions, on Day 2, Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3 after admission, to test for the acute effects of withdrawal of alcohol. Some subjects tested on Day 2 were retested on Weeks 1, 2 or 3, resulting in 50 tests for each period. Most subjects tested on Day 2 had received chl…

Development of Scales Based on Patterns of Drug Effects, Using the Addiction Research Center Inventory (Arci)
A series of scales were developed on the basis of the pattern of change of responses on Addiction Research Center Inventory items produced by drugs including morphine, pentobarbital, chlorpromazine, alcohol, LSD, pyrahexyl, and amphetamine in post addicts. The pattern scales were compared with empirically developed scales that measure the effects of each drug as contrasted with placebo. It was found that the empirical scales show a greater sensit…
Noncomparability of the 1950 and 1956 Forms a of Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire
Cattell and his associates developed three forms of the 16 PF which have been revised periodically (2, 3, 4). Cattell (2) appears to regard the editions as equivalent. This evaluation is attested by the repetition of the same means of various samples in the two handbooks cited above. Interest in the similarity of revisions grew out of an attempt to compare alcoholics who had been given the 1956 Form A and opiate addicts who had been tested with t…

On the Addiction Research Center Inventory Scores of Former Addicts Receiving LSD and Untreated Schizophrenics
Thirteen untreated male schizophrenics were compared with more than 150 post-addicts under three conditions: no-drug, placebo, and 1.5 mcg/kg of LSD-25, using two LSD scales. On an LSD scale that is sensitive to more general drug effects schizophrenics were differentiated from addicts under a no-drug condition, but they were not differentiated from addicts who were given LSD. However, on a more specific LSD scale, addicts under LSD were different…
