School sampling has revealed a greater need for colleges to produce better written and more informative college catalogs. (RK)

This study compared more than 3400 MMPIs obtained from pschiatric in-patients in public mental health facilities with mental status and preadmission descriptor ratings to derive empirical correlates of profiles clustered primarily by two-point high codes. (Author)

The purpose of this investigation is to provide further data concerning the variables, age, intelligence and sex, that may affect moral judgment. (Author/RK)

This paper provides a guide to the minimum size of treatment groups, inferred from the relationships between pupil norms and norms for class averages of standardized achievement tests. (Editor)

A brief survey of the mathematics involved in the theory of educational testing. (MM)

Paper reports on the patterns of heavy use of two drugs, marihuana and alcohol, in relation to a variety of demographic, social, and personal factors. (Author)

Fifth-grade students (n=154) were given the Group Embedded Figures Test. Distribution characteristics and sex differences were examined. Earlier norms developed for adult samples are substantially different from those of a sample of children. The norms presented here provide a guide for identification of field dependence in children. (Author)

A general framework for conducting generalizability analyses is presented. Generalizability theory is extended to situations in which the objects of measurement are not persons but other factors, such as instructional objectives, stages of learning, and treatments. (Author/PN)

The selection of textbooks used in content analysis to determine values taught to students is important. Only widely used texts must be analyzed. The samples of U.S. history texts used by Fitzgerald (1979) and Barth and Shermis (1980) in their studies were not representative of textbooks used in schools. (RM)

Evaluated the dyadic adjustment scale by reconsidering the factor structure of the scale and its subscales using a maximum likelihood, confirmatory factor-analysis procedure. Studied a new sample from the same geographical area. High reliability was confirmed for the overall scale. (Author)

The results of an experiment to determine the effects of questionnaire format, reminder format, and follow-up format on both response rate and response speed in a mail survey are reported. The study used a random sample of students in the six part-time degree programs at the University of Saskatchewan. (Author/MLW)

This study tests the degree of factor invariance and factor structure replicability of the Family Environment Interview Schedule. Samples of families from different locations were used. Four interpretable factors were derived. Evidence suggests that the four factor solution was invariant across both samples with an identical factor structure.…
