In a sample (n = 460) of employed mid‐western respondents be…
Self-Assessments of Risk Tolerance by Women and Men
A convenience sample of 1,741 Internet users completed a 12-item financial risk-tolerance questionnaire. They also rated themselves on their tolerance for financial risk using a 4-point rating scale.

The residual for males was positive, indicating that men tended to overestimate their proclivity for tak…
Validity and Temporal Stability Issues Regarding Two Measures of Computer Aptitudes and Attitudes
Psychometric information regarding the Computer Aptitude, Literacy, and Interest Profile and the Computer Attitude Scale was obtained from an NSF retraining project preparing computer science teachers for the secondary school level. Data address: (1) pre-/post-training stability; and (2) validity information involving (2.a.) course achievement predictions, (2.b.) CALIP-CAS interrelationships, and (2.c.) intra-instrument relationships
