Scale membership and direction of scoring for items on the Personal Orientation Inventory

Two tables are presented, showing the scale membership and direction of scoring for each of the POI's 150 items (a) by scale, and (b) by item.

Item overlap and the "built-in" factor structure of the Personal Orientation Inventory

5 sets of empirical correlations were factored, along with correlations based solely on the (corrected) numbers of overlapping items in the Personal Orientation Inventory. The factor structure of the item-overlap data resembled that of the empirical data, although differences were also noted. Alternative interpretations of the findings were considered.

WAIS subtest characteristics of institutionalized retardates

WAIS subtest norms for two samples of institutionalized retardates, one from the East Coast and the other from the West Coast, were compared. The correlation between them was high and the differences small. Together, they provide a set of norms based on the performance of 945 Ss.

Estimated variance components in the S-R inventory of anxiousness

By administering the S-R Inventory of Anxiousness twice to the same Ss, the relative contributions of Ss, situations, modes of response, and all their interactions to the total variance were determined. The variance due to the triple interaction, which had not previously been estimated, was found to account for about 5% of the total.
