Self‐Pluralism: Assessment and Relations to Adjustment, Life Changes, and Age
Individuals differ in the degree to which they see themselves as behaving and feeling similarly or differently in different situations and at different times. This dimension of the self‐concept, which is conceived to extend from strong constancy of the self‐concept at one extreme to marked variability at the opposite pole, is designated as self‐pluralism . An inventory for the assessment of degree of self‐pluralism—the Self‐Pluralism Scale (SPS)—…

Psychology at the University of Nevada-Reno: A retrospective account
The University of Nevada was founded in 1874. First located in Elko, it was moved to Reno in 1886. The initial curriculum included psychology as a required course for seniors. For some years psychology was taught by professors primarily trained in other disciplines, but in 1909 George Ordahl, a G. Stanley Hall Ph.D., joined the faculty and set up a psychology laboratory. He was succeeded by James Young, who was followed by Ralph Irwin, and later …

Behavioral Choice as a Function of Novelty-Seeking and Anxiety-Avoidance Motivations
It was hypothesized that the tendency of individuals to engage in an unknown, ambiguous activity would be a joint function of their needs for novelty and their levels of anxiety. Preliminary supporting data are presented

The Hospital Adjustment Scale: Research and Clinical Applications
The Hospital Adjustment Scale (HAS) is a 90-item behavior-rating scale designed for the assessment of the over-all level of psychological functioning, irrespective of psychiatric symptomatology, of hospitalized psychiatric patients. This paper reviews the research which has been done on and with the scale since its publication in 1953 and indicates the uses and limitations of the scale based on 15 yr. experience with it. It is concluded that adeq…

On the Assessment of Anxiety: II. By a Self-Report Inventory
A self-report inventory for the assessment of anxiety is presented. Unlike other anxiety inventories, which characteristically focus on symptoms, the present scale is directed toward the causes of anxiety. The rationale underlying the test is the assumption that felt anxiety is a function of the quantity of experiences which a person has been unable to assimilate adequately. Preliminary findings are presented on a form of the scale developed for …
On the Assessment of Anxiety: IV. By Measures of Basal Conductance and Palmar Sweat
This study investigated the extent to which subjective and autonomic measures of anxiety vary concomitantly over periods of weeks in the same individuals. Ss were 23 psychiatric patients in good contact. The subjective measures were a self-rating and an anxiety inventory, and the autonomic measures were basal conductance and palmar sweat. The results did not support the hypothesis of a positive relationship between the subjective and autonomic in…
On the Assessment of Anxiety: III. By Self-Ratings
Two anxiety self-rating scales, one intended primarily for college students and the other primarily for psychiatric patients, are described. Preliminary validity data, in the form of Pearsonian correlations with anxiety inventories, are presented. The point is made that anxiety self-rating devices are worth developing in their own right and not just as substitutes for inventories

On the Assessment of Anxiety: I. by a Behavior Checklist
A large number of behaviors commonly interpreted as indicative of anxiety was collected from textbooks and clinical reports. On the basis of measures of internal consistency and other appropriate criteria the list was reduced to 25 items. These items can be used as a checklist for the assessment of anxiety
