Professors' Interactional Attributes: How Do They Relate to One Another
For 86 professors, ratings on the Classroom Behaviors Questionnaire indicated that what professors did to enhance students' success was perceived as important to their students ( r = .85), but these scores were not correlated significantly with their scores on the Revised Love/Hate Checklist (Form 1), the Revised Love/Hate Checklist (Form 2), or the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children; however, scores on the latter three inventories were si…
Students' Self-Concepts and Perceived Behaviors and Their Relationship with Professors' Perceived Behaviors
In an earlier study Parish in 1988 found that children's perceived hateful behaviors of their parents were associated with diminished self-concepts of their college-age children. In the present study, students' perceptions of hateful behaviors by professors likewise were associated with diminished self-concepts of their college students ( r = .18) as well as how hatefully these students acted toward their professors ( r = .39). Finally, how hatef…
Do Perceived Parents' Actions Differentially Correlate with Students' Ratings of Themselves and Their Parents across Familial Configurations
In the present study 212 high school students described how loving or hateful they perceived their parents' actions to be toward one another on the Revised Love/Hate Checklist, and also evaluated their parents and themselves on the Personal Attribute Inventory. On the checklist, perceptions by students from intact families of their parents' actions were significantly correlated with each other as well as with their ratings of their parents and th…
The Love/Hate Checklist: A Further Report
The Love/Hate Checklist was introduced by Parish (1) as an effective index of love and/ or hate based on checked adverbs descriptive of the perceived actions of people toward one another. Specifically, the Love/Hate Checklist reliably assessed actions by parents as perceived by their adult children and was judged to be valid since its scores regarding both parents' actions were directly related to adult children's self-concepts. As noted by Paris…
The Love/Hate Checklist: A Preliminary Report
The Love/Hate Checklist of 45 “loving” and 45 “hateful” adverbs reliably assessed such actions by parents as perceived by their adult children. The scores on the checklist regarding both parents' loving actions were also significantly correlated with 20 college students' self-concepts but not with their ratings of their parents. Explanations are offered to account for these findings
Reliability of the Personal History Inventory for Children
Children and adolescents who have experienced losing a parent are more likely to demonstrate various socioemotional problenls than their peers from intact families ( 2 ) . In a number of studies (1, 4 ) , however, such problems associated with the loss of a parent were ameliorated where social networks and/or support systems funcrioned to offset the negative effects of parent loss. These findings suggest that whether children's and adolescents' n…
Discerning Functionality of Children's Support Systems through Use of the Personal History Inventory for Children
Various support systems may malfunction in children's lives. The Personal History Inventory for Children was developed to survey teachers' perceptions of the functionality of several such support systems. Reliability of the scale over 1 mo. was quite high whether the children rated were from intact families ( r = .93) or divorced families ( r = .80). Results from the first assessment of teachers were generally significantly correlated with the 15…
Concurrent Validity of the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children and the Behavior Rating Profile-Student Scales
The present study examined the relationships between the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children (PAIC) and each of two other widely utilized psychosocial indices, i.e., the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC) and the Behavior Rating Profile-Student Scales (BRPSS). A total of 628 children (352 males and 276 females), in grades 5 through 10, voluntarily participated in this study. The scores of respondents on the PAIC were found t…

The Nonsexist Personal Attribute Inventory for Children: A Report on its Validity and Reliability as a Self-Concept Scale
Thirty-two words that were found to be nonsexist in nature according to the responses of 686 children, were derived from the Personal Attribute Inventory for Children. Half of the words are defined to be positive; the other half, negative. Together, they make up the Nonsexist Personal Attribute Inventory for Children. This inventory was administered along with the Piers-Harris scale to 297 fifth through eighth grade children. A correlation of .49…

Young adults' evaluations of themselves and their parents as a function of family structure and disposition
Impact of Father Loss on the Family
In this study, 421 undergraduate students evaluated their natural mothers, natural fathers, and stepfathers (where applicable) by rating them on the Personal Attribute Inventory. The findings from this study indicated that parents from families broken by divorce were consistently more negatively evaluated than were parents from either intact families or families where the father had died. These findings held regardless of whether or not the mothe…
Perceptions of Parents' Attitudes and Behaviors as Evidence That Children Affect Parents
In this study 123 college students placed their parents along two continua ranging from restrictive to permissive and from warmth to hostility. For both sexes, significant correlations (.90) were found between perceived parental practices. These findings are interpreted to provide support for the notion that children affect the behaviors of their parents
Evaluations of self and parent figures by children from intact, divorced, and reconstituted families
The Personal Attribute Inventory: A Measure of Self-Concepts and Personality Profiles
Parish and Eads (1977) and Parish, Eads, and Adams (1977) reported that the Personal Attribute Inventory (PAI) was significantly correlated with two self-concept measures, i.e., the unfavorable and favorable subscales of Gough's (1952) Adjective Check List. As further evidence that the PAI is a self-concept scale, the present study required 265 college students to respond to it and to the 16 PF. As hypothesized, the PAI was significantly related …
Attitudes of Educators toward Handicapped and Non-Handicapped Children
Previous research has shown that teachers generally perceive handicapped children more negatively than non-handicapped children. The present study once again demonstrated support for this notion. In addition, the results of the present study did not vary across different groups of educators or across whether they taught in institutional or public school settings
An Attempt to Enhance Moral Judgment of Offenders
Lawrence Kohlberg's theory suggests that there are qualitative differences or levels of moral judgment. This study attempted to enhance the moral judgments of 134 young men incarcerated in a military training program. It failed. These findings indicate that, while the theory of moral development is appealing to those working in correctional settings, its application may be fruitless

Effects of Similarity of Raters' and Patients' Attitudes on Evaluations of Patients' Mental Health
This experiment requested 15 graduate students in counseling and 15 in clinical psychology to evaluate the mental health of strangers using statements of attitude and behavior purported to refer to fictitious strangers. Holding behavioral statements constant, strangers displaying attitudes dissimilar to the students' were rated as significantly more disturbed than attitudinally similar strangers. Holding similarity constant, strangers described a…

The Personal Attribute Inventory as a Self-Concept Scale
A sample of 101 educational psychology students was administered the Gough Adjective Check List (ACL) and the Personal Attribute Inventory (PAI) both at the beginning and at the end of a ten week period. High correlations were found between the very short PAI measure and the Favorable and Unfavorable subscales of the ACL (PAI and F subscale of ACL, r = -.65; PAI and U subscale of ACL r = .77). Correlations between first and second administrations…

Relationship between Moral Development Test Scores of Juvenile Delinquents and Their Inclusion in a Moral Dilemma Discussion Group
This study sought to determine whether or not the discussion of moral dilemmas was related to the gain scores obtained by juvenile delinquents on a test of moral development. 13 female and 16 male juvenile delinquents were assigned to a developmental group or a control group. The Defining Issues Test was administered as a pretest to determine levels of moral development. Subjects in the developmental group were then exposed to moral dilemmas whic…

The Personal Attribute Inventory as a Self Concept Scale: A Preliminary Report
Self-concept scores on the 100-item Personal Attribute Inventory of 6 male and 36 female college students were significantly correlated (.80) with their scores on the 75-item “Unfavorable” subscale and (—.73) on the 75-item “Favorable” subscale of the Adjective Check List. In a second study with 16 males and 34 females, 4-wk. test-retest reliability for the inventory was .83
College Students' Perceptions of Parental Restrictiveness/Permissiveness and Students' Scores on a Brief Measure of Creativity
In this study 76 college students who perceived their mothers as having been permissive in their childrearing techniques tended to offer more responses to a divergent thinking task than did 152 college students who had perceived their mothers as having been restrictive with them. Generally speaking, the dimensions of perceived parental warmth versus perceived parental hostility as well as sex of students did not contribute to the results
