atory principles involved, and, in addition, the factors of sex differences and ego involvement were demonstrated to influence the perceptual defense phenomenon.

Tattooing and Identity

“…It takes place during adolescence when the self is yet malleable and transitional or not yet well identified. (4,22,24,27, 33> Patients with extremely low IQ's and thus lesser needs or abilities for self indentification, do not tattoo themselves; mildly retarded patients with the ability to perceive the self and to seek to identify it and present it to others, do tattoo themselves.…”

ITEM DESIGN FOR AN INVENTORY OF TEACHING PRACTICES AND LEARNING SITUATIONS1

“…The approach used in the research described above differs from many previously reported studies on teaching in at least three ways: 1) the use of multi-stimulus test items, 2) the methodical definition of item stimuli according to a standard framework, and 3) the systematic construction of the inventory according to an experimental design in which test items are conceived as treatments. Historical antecedents to this approach may be observed in the work of Guttman (1954-55), and Johnson and Stanley (1955). These investigators have reported arranging testing stimuli according to factor combinations.…”

Social value-need patterns in mental retardates.

“…A review of the literature failed to uncover a standardized scale that would adequately measure the variables of interest in this study. Instruments (Allport, Vernon, & Lindzey, 1951;Anderson & Anderson, 1954;Bills, Vance, & McLean, 1951;Grace & Grace, 1952;Johnson & Stanley, 1955;McDonald, 1956;Morris, 1956;Woodruff, 1942) that have been developed to measure value structure would have required modifications and extensive editing to adapt them for use with a population of mental retardates. It was therefore necessary to design a measure based on a classification structure which would reflect individual differences in the mental retardate's responses to social value-need conflict situations.…”
