A Simplified Revision Of The Keston Music Preference Test, Barbara Jean Snodgrass

Psychology ETDs

The purpose of this study was to revise and simplify a new and involved test of musical preference. The Keston Music Preference Test in its original form consisted of sixteen phonograph record discs, or thirty-two sides in all.

It seemed highly desirable, therefore, to reduce the length of the test and to simplify the grading system of …

Whatever the bias of the theorist there has been an overall concern with making more explicit the reinforcement process. With regard to this latter problem we find several points of view …

An Analysis Of Certain Responses To A Color Association Test, Norbett Lawrence Mintz

Psychology ETDs

Personality Differences Between Fighter And Non-Fighter Pilots, William A. Marcum

Psychology ETDs

This study attempts to distinguish personality factors which may influence Air Force pilots in their choice of a specific type of aircraft for their primary flying duty.

It is not the purpose of this study to investigate the personality of the versatile pilot, who seems equally adapted in terms of mental attitudes, personality matrix, and flying skill for any and all type of aircraft. Instead, the research is focused on those pilots whose preference and capabilities have channeled them into flying either fighter or non-fighter aircraft.
