An Investigation of Self-Assessment Bias in Mental Health Providers
Previous research has consistently found self-assessment bias (an overly positive assessment of personal performance) to be present in a wide variety of work situations.

Respondents were asked to: (a) compare their own overall clinical skills and performance to others in their profession, and (b) indicate the percentage of the…
A Review and Comparison of the Reliabilities of the MMPI-2, MCMI-III, and PAI Presented in Their Respective Test Manuals

Foreclosure within government-subsidized housing and locus of control
The Rotter Locus of Control Scale was used to assess personality differences of 78 heads of households of similar (upper-lower) socioeconomic level residing in three sections of one community in the Southeast. The participants were divided into two groups: residents who were undergoing foreclosures on their home mortgages, and a nonforeclosure group experiencing no major financial difficulty. Results indicate that heads of households experiencing…
Sex role identity and attitudes toward sexuality
Student voluntarism in transition
The university student volunteer as a social change agent is in a period of transition. There is no returning to the idealism and activism of the 1960s if this and future generations of students continue to see self-preservation and individual advancement as their only viable option here in America. In view of the changing nature of today's students, the conventional definitions of volunteers, such as Shultz's (1972) altruist, average, and pseudo…
