Extended Report Of The Impact Of Fantasy On A Treatment Program, Richard H. Dana Jan 1964

Extended Report Of The Impact Of Fantasy On A Treatment Program, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

It is axiomatic in milieu therapy that the man on top is responsible for success or failure of the program. However, little research attention has been given to the impact of a superintendent upon an institution. One reason may be that only rarely is an institution's stewardship uncomplicated by a past history. This case report is of the first-year operation of a correctional institution for adolescent delinquent girls. The superintendent literally created policy and program and trained staff in an attempt to satisfy goals of custody and rehabilitation. In this relatively unique enterprise the values, dynamics and motives of the …

Extended Report Of Construct Validation Of The Barron Ego Strength Scale, Richard H. Dana, Jean T. Teter Jan 1964

Extended Report Of Construct Validation Of The Barron Ego Strength Scale, Richard H. Dana, Jean T. Teter

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

One component of an MMPI Ego Strength Scale (Es) definition, personal adaptability, was investigated by behavioral, conscious, and fantasy measures of persistence. Male and female, high and low Es subjects, did not differ on these measures. Measures of persistence alone may be inadequate samples of the personal adaptability component of Es.

Intraindividual Verbal-Numerical Discrepancies: Dichotomy Or Continuum, Personality Characteristic Or Psychopathology?, Richard H. Dana, Arnold E. Dahlke Jan 1962

Intraindividual Verbal-Numerical Discrepancies: Dichotomy Or Continuum, Personality Characteristic Or Psychopathology?, Richard H. Dana, Arnold E. Dahlke

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

IntraindlviduaI differences in verbal and numerical abilities have been observed since the inception of appropriate measuring Instruments. Whether verbal and numerical ability occur in the form of a continuous distribution or as dichotomous categories has both theoretical and practical importance. That such variation has meaning in terms of predictable college academic success is recognized. Less apparent, but equally important, are relationships between Intraindividual verbal and numerical variation and personality characteristics and/or psychopathology. In college situations the American Council on Education Psychological Examinatipn (ACE), with Linguistic (l) and Quantitative (Q) components, and the School and College Ability Tests (SCAT), with Verbal …

Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana Jan 1962

Objective Tat Scores And Personality Characteristics: Hypothesis Formulation. Statistical Summary, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

This paper contains the statistical results of a "buckshot" congruent validation study of one objective TAT scoring variable, Perceptual Organization (PO). PO was developed from personality theory and from an explicit rationale for the construction of scoring systems for projective techniques. PO is scored from a five card, short-form, TAT set which yields scores comparable to a 20 card set. A series of concurrent validation studies culminated in a manual for application of the scoring system in which PO is one variable. PO is a reliable score (scorer reliability; test-retest) and valid for prediction of clinical diagnosis (current validity). That …

A Manual For Objective Tat Scoring, Richard H. Dana Jan 1956

A Manual For Objective Tat Scoring, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

This manual presents a concise but abbreviated statement of one objective TAT scoring system and its predictive efficiency. It is designed to facilitate application of this approach to TAT scoring. Although the rationale upon which this method is predicated derives from certain specific assumptions regarding personality, the clinical use of these categories does not demand any particular theoretical persuasion. The author recognizes two kinds of validity germane to projective instruments: (a) validity, prediction of clinical diagnosis; (b) validity, prediction of personality characteristics. This manual deals only with validity.

The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana Jan 1950

The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

The development of the ink-blot as a psychological tool has taken a thousand years. The Rorschach, a formal clinical representative of this heritage, is a product of this "testing age" and has been extensively used with children. This has necessitated certain modifications of procedure and analysis which have been achieved by more or less intuitive, non-systematic methods. The most pertinent questions concerning the Rorschach test with adults also apply to children. These questions include the merry-go-round of scoring possibilities: "Clinical", intuitive; objective and in terms of formal categories; psychometric, utilizing a vast number of rating scales.
