Interrater Reliability of the Ruff Figural Fluency Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Berning, Lisa C.; Weed, Nathan C.; Aloia, Mark S. – Assessment, 1998
To examine the interrater reliability of the Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT) (R. Ruff, 1988), 124 college students completed the measure and scored RFFT test protocols. Results indicated substantial interscorer reliability on the RFFT, particularly for number of unique designs. Reliability was lower for scoring perseverative errors and error…

Development of the Tower of London--Revised.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schnirman, Geoffrey M.; Welsh, Marilyn C.; Retzlaff, Paul D. – Assessment, 1998
The Tower of London test (T. Shallice, 1982), a measure of executive function, was reconstructed to increase its reliability through revisions tested with successive samples of 50, 50, and 34 college students. Adjusting the item pool resulted in acceptable test-retest reliability. (SLD)

Internal and Temporal Reliability Estimates for Informant Ratings of Personality Using the NEO PI-R and IAS.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kurtz, John E.; Lee, Patricia A.; Sherker, Jennifer L. – Assessment, 1999
Examines the internal consistency and temporal stability of informant ratings from the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) (P. Costa and R. McRae, 1992) and the Interpersonal Adjective Scale (IAS) (J. Wiggins, 1995) through ratings by 109 undergraduates of well-known adult targets. The estimates of internal consistency and temporal…

A New Measure of Conversational Experience: The Speaking Extent and Comfort Scale (SPEACS).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lyons, Antonia C.; Spicer, John – Assessment, 1999
Developed a measure of conversational experience and comfort, the Speaking Extent and Comfort Scale (SPEACS). Results with 400 undergraduates show that all four SPEACS subscales have good test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Discusses use of the measure in studies of social networks, social experience, and other dimensions of…

Short-Forms of the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP) for Self- and Collateral Ratings: Development, Reliability, and Validity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Harlan, Elena; Clark, Lee Anna – Assessment, 1999
Reports the development of a paragraph-descriptor short form of the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP); (L. Clark, 1993) with self- and other versions. Data from 294 college students, with parental ratings for 94 students, support the reliability and validity of the measure. (SLD)

The Alternate Forms of the Positive and Negative Mood Scales: Reliability, Validity, and Equivalence in Nonreferred Samples.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lubin, Bernard; Van Whitlock, Rod – Assessment, 1996
The reliability and validity of the positive and negative mood scales of the trait version of the State Trait--Depression Adjective Check Lists (D. Watson and others, 1988) were supported with 269 college students, 197 adolescents, and 165 older adults. Results provide evidence of the equivalence of the positive and negative scales. (SLD)

An Evaluation of the Equivalence of the Stimulus Subsets of the California Card Sorting Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greve, Kevin W.; And Others – Assessment, 1995
Interset and set-to-total correlations for the California Card Sorting Test were studied for 135 college students and 63 elementary school students. Although subsets were not equivalent, the generally good correlations between subset and total test scores indicated that use of the individual subsets as short forms is justified. (SLD)
