The waters of historical research abound with shoals, whirlpools, and uncharted, if not unimportant, wastes. VIRGINIA J. LAAS relates one such encounter on a voyage of discovery related to the biography of Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee she undertook with Dudley T. Cornish, a successful and altogether fortuitous collaboration which benefitted both scholars and their profession. The book which resulted, entitled The Life of Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee, U.S. Navy, will be published in early 1986 by The University Press of Kansas. The marriage in 1843 of the young naval officer, then a Lieutenant …

Weighted Application Blanks: An Empirical Approach For The Selection Of Delivery Personnel Psychology, Barton Lee Dahmer

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a biographically weighted application blank for use in selecting delivery personnel. The England (1971) procedure for weighting biographical information was utilized. The criterion was a ratio of planned work time to actual work time. It was hypothesized that (a) significant derivation and cross-validities would be obtained, and (b) significant practical benefits in terms of correct placement of workers in the high and low criterion groups would result. The first hypothesis was partially supported in that a significant derivation validity was obtained (r = -.56, P < .05). However, the cross-validity (r = -.12) was not significant. Thus, the second hypothesis was not supported. A discussion of the results and recommendations for the implementation of the weighted application blank are provided.

Government Programs, Job Search Requirements, And The Duration Of Unemployment, Michael C. Keeley, Philip K. Robins

Economics Articles and Papers

This paper presents an empirical analysis of how job search requirements under various government programs influence job search behavior. The analysis indicates that job search requirements exert a significant impact on certain aspects of the job search process, but not those that generally lead to a higher probability of employment. It is also found that persons who utilize intensively search activities that result in direct employer contact have much shorter durations of unemployment than persons who do not utilize such activities intensively. It is speculated that altering job search requirements to include more direct employer contact could lead to a …

The man who created the child-spies of 1984, JONATHAN ROSE makes clear in his examination of George Orwell, was a writer filled with nostalgia for childhood. Assistant Professor of History at Drew University in New Jersey, Rose has recently completed a book-length manuscript on the intellectual history of Edwardian Britain and hopes to launch a scholarly journal devoted to the life and works of George Orwell.

Though current society has distanced them from us, the women of Edwardian problem plays, argues SUSAN L. CARLSON, do have something to tell us about our own social …

The Relationship Between Response Variability And Interview Contrast Effects, Salvatore John Cesare

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

The low reliability and validity of the interview has lead to research aimed at improving its effectiveness. One such strategy is the microanalytic approach developed by Mayfield (1964). This approach centers on the decision—making processes errors made by the interviewer. One type of error is the contrast effect. A contrast effect is that situation where the rating given to an applicant is contingent upon the quality of preceding applicants. This study used a 3 X 3 (Induced Set X Target Applicant) factorial design to assess how different amounts of response variability by an average applicant can influence contrast effects. Subjects …
