Homogeneity Of Behavior Indicated From The Spearman-Brown Prophecy Formula, Charles O. Neidt Jan 1949

Homogeneity Of Behavior Indicated From The Spearman-Brown Prophecy Formula, Charles O. Neidt

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The reliability of a test is usually defined as the consistency with which a test measures whatever it measures, the consistency being indicated by the correlation between two administrations of the same test or between equivalent forms. Whenever it has not been feasible to administer the test twice, or whenever full-length equivalent forms have not been available, the procedure usually followed has been that of making two synthetic tests by scoring the odd- and even-numbered items separately, or by scoring two randomly-drawn lists of items. Dividing the test in this manner results in obtaining a correlation between two forms which …


The Concept Of Attitude, Dale Ortmeyer Jan 1949

The Concept Of Attitude, Dale Ortmeyer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The concept of attitude in psychological and social psychological literature has a variety of interpretations and meanings. In the past few decades, the quantification of attitude measurement has been an area of experimental investigation. Measurement of any phenomenon pre-supposes a proper definition and an analysis of the concept under consideration. The present study is an approach to the clarification of the concept, preparatory to an experimental attack in the area of psychosociological measurement of attitudes. Contributions by men in the various schools of psychology are presented with emphasis placed upon the behavioristic point of view. Delimitation of the concept and …


Projecting Introductory Psychology Examinations At Iowa State College, Ross R. Thomas Jan 1949

Projecting Introductory Psychology Examinations At Iowa State College, Ross R. Thomas

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the fall quarter of 1948 examinations in the introductory Psychology course at Iowa State College were first administered by slide projection. Results of this procedure were considered satisfactory and this method of administration has been continued. The primary reason for utilizing this method was to maintain the security of the examination material. Test slides were prepared in the departmental office, lessening the possibility of students obtaining tests prior to examination date. In addition, all test items were thus subject to independent use, further decreasing opportunities of procuring information as to examination content. Secondary reasons for the procedure were: (1) …

Effect Of So-Called Night-Driving Glasses On Visual Acuity - A Preliminary Study, A. R. Lauer, Edwin D. Fletcher, Paul Winston Jan 1949

Effect Of So-Called Night-Driving Glasses On Visual Acuity - A Preliminary Study, A. R. Lauer, Edwin D. Fletcher, Paul Winston

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Evidence from various studies such as those of Cobb ( 1914), Ferree and Rand (1923), Fry and Bartley (1933), Hecht (193S), Graham and Cook (1937), Bartley (1941) and more recently by Lauer and Silver (194S) and others have indicated that brightness contrast, as a function of stimulus illumination and consequent retinal stimulation, is one of the basic factors in visual acuity. It is a safe assertion that seeing efficiency and acuity are closely related, up to a certain level of illumination. At higher levels of illumination this perhaps does not hold. In certain quarters an opinion persists that filters which …

Conservation Knowledge And Attitudes Of Iowa Academy Of Science Members, George D. Lovell Jan 1949

Conservation Knowledge And Attitudes Of Iowa Academy Of Science Members, George D. Lovell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Over a year ago I received a letter asking if I would serve on an advisory committee to the Academy committee on conservation. The gist of the letter was that Academy members outside the fields usually associated with conservation might be helpful to the regular committee in an advisory capacity. If the aim was to secure members who were woefully ignorant of the field of conservation, mine was a happy choice for membership on the advisory committee. I so informed the secretary and was accepted anyway, so at least my conscience was clear. I felt that at least I could …


Confidence In Correctness Of Responses On An Objective Test, Martin F. Fritz Jan 1949

Confidence In Correctness Of Responses On An Objective Test, Martin F. Fritz

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A form of objective test has been given at various times in which the student is required to indicate how certain he is of the correctness of his answers. This may be accomplished by having an answer sheet prepared with three columns, each column representing a degree of certainty according to a so-called scale.


Keeping Employees Informed, Joann Pitcher, Max E. Thompson Jan 1949

Keeping Employees Informed, Joann Pitcher, Max E. Thompson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The widening interest in the topic of communicating with employees is evidenced by the increasing frequency with which articles relevant to this problem may be found in industrial, personnel, and business journals during the last three or four years. This increased incidence of articles indicates that men in management positions are beginning to recognize more and more the importance of keeping their employees informed about the company for which they are working in order to improve morale and job satisfaction, to further community and public relations, and to bring about a greater degree of cooperative efficiency throughout the organization.


Reliability And Relationship Of Certain Measures Of Reading Ability, David K. Trites Jan 1949

Reliability And Relationship Of Certain Measures Of Reading Ability, David K. Trites

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A number of studies (1) have been published concerning various methods of measuring reading rate and comprehension. The ophthalmograph has been described (2) as one of the more objective, semi-laboratory adaptations of these methods. The ophthalmograph is a portable, binocular eye-movement camera. The reading graph, or eye-movement photograph, obtained while the subject is reading a standard selection, provides objective evidence concerning reading speed, fixations, regressions, and other eye movements. By testing the subject on the material read a measure of his comprehension is obtained.


What An Academy Can Do To Promote The Conservation Of Natural Resources, J. M. Aikman Jan 1949

What An Academy Can Do To Promote The Conservation Of Natural Resources, J. M. Aikman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Modern man is not a builder. On the contrary he is an exploiter. He depends on natural resources, directly or with minor adaptation and modification, for his material needs. Likewise, he draws upon natural resources for thousands of things in which he takes special delight: things he sees, hears, smells, tastes, touches and feels. All of these natural resources are being cut down, torn down, shot down, burned, plowed up, washed away, blown away, and generally wasted and destroyed. Conservation of natural resources is inconsistent with utilization or use by man. If we use them we no longer have them …


The Social Responsibility Of The Teacher Of Science, Joseph B. Gittler Jan 1949

The Social Responsibility Of The Teacher Of Science, Joseph B. Gittler

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It is the contention of this paper that facts of science (natural science) are being taught superlatively well by science teachers, but that the spirit of science - the logic and philosophy of science, science as an intellectual pursuit - tends to evade the domain of the science teacher. Furthermore, it is this failure to inculcate in the student this spirit of science - the scientific mentality - that accounts for some of the gravest ills in our society. If it is true that most of society's problems are man-made (and it can be shown without difficulty that they are …


The Problem Of Controlling Level Of Learning In Studies Of Associative Interference In Psychomotor Performance, Jack A. Adams Jan 1949

The Problem Of Controlling Level Of Learning In Studies Of Associative Interference In Psychomotor Performance, Jack A. Adams

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The problems discussed in this paper arose during a search for an experimental design that would yield reliable measures of associative interference for the individual subject. Such measures are needed as part of an extensive research project concerned with individual susceptibility to interference in verbal and psychomotor performance. Interference effects are commonly studied in the laboratory under conditions that provide for original learning (OL) of some task to a given criterion, interpolated learning (IL) of a different task to a given criterion, and the subsequent relearning (RL) or recall of the original task. Two measures of interference are sought when …
