A study was conducted to validate a school behavior rating scale on a sample of 1,153 elementary school children. Results indicate stable means and variances over grades kindergarten through fifth grade and a stable factor structure. Sex differences on behavior ratings favored females over males at all grade levels. School behavior ratings…

Wheatley, Grayson H. – 1972
The objective of the study was to develop a test of concept formation which would: (1) not be biased by reading difficulty; (2) be sufficiently stimulating to capture the attention of the students; (3) incorporate both aspects of concept formation of discriminative response and conservation; (4) have a spread of item difficulty appropriate for…

Edmonston, Leon P.; Randall, Robert S. – 1972
A decision model designed to determine the reliability and validity of criterion referenced measures (CRMs) is presented. General procedures which pertain to the model are discussed as to: Measures of relationship, Reliability, Validity (content, criterion-oriented, and construct validation), and Item Analysis. The decision model is presented in…

Bradley, Robert H.; Caldwell, Bettye M. – 1976
The development of environmental process measures marks a significant step forward in the assessment of environment quality. As Bloom (1964) predicted, these measures have made it possible to more clearly delineate the relationship between environment and development. Although factorial structure of many process instruments is open to question,…

Peer reviewedMehrabian, Albert – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1978
Reliability and validity data are presented for three orthogonal measures of temperament: trait-pleasure, trait-arousal, and trait-dominance. Reliability coefficients for the three scales were .91, .60, and .84, respectively. Intercorrelations among the three scales were insignificant and low. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedBaker, A. Harvey; And Others – Journal of Research in Personality, 1978
The Kinesthetic Aftereffect (KAE) has been criticized as a personality measure because of its poor retest reliability and questionable validity. However, KAE's lower reliabilty can be explained by systematic bias effects occuring in pretesting. When the validity evidence is reevaluated in this light, "questionable" validity disappears.…

Peer reviewedBingham, Rosie P.; Walsh, W. Bruce – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1978
This study, using the Vocational Preference Inventory and the Self-Directed Search, explored the concurrent validity of Holland's theory for employed college-degreed Black women. The findings support the validity of Holland's theory for this population. (Author)

Peer reviewedWilcox, Rand R. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1977
False-positive and false-negative decisions are the two possible errors committed with a mastery test; yet the estimation of the likelihood of committing these errors has not been investigated. Two methods of this type of estimation are presented and discussed. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedFeldman, Carol Fleisher; Stone, Addison – Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 1978
A recently developed test of basic Piagetian abilities, the Colored Blocks Test, is described, and new data collected in rural Hawaii and in a working class Chicago suburb are used to defend its validity as a tool for cross-cultural measurement of cognitive development. (Author/AM)

Peer reviewedAsbury, Charles A. – Journal of Negro Education, 1978
The place of testing in education is discussed. It is concluded that tests should be used as the supplements they are intended to be, and they should be used after thorough examination of their suitability has been made by test and education experts. (Author)

Peer reviewedRaben, Charles S.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1978
Two studies are reported which investigated the construct validity and reliability of the Ghiselli Self-Description Inventory as a measure of self-esteem. The first study, using a multitrait-multimethod matrix, found little evidence for the construct validity of the instrument. The second study found a significant, although low, reliability. (…
