“…For example, in obtaining an estimate of a child's " knowledge of right and wrong," results must vary according to the environment taken as a standard. " There seem to be different codes for the different situations, such as a home code, a school code, a Sunday school code, a club code" (Hartshorne et al,16). By which code shall the personality of the child be judged?…”

First published in Psychological Bulletin,24,[284][285][286][287][288][289][290][291][292][293] Bibliographies by May and Hartshorne (25), Manson (23), and Roback (34) bear out the statement of G. B. Watson (42) that " It is almost impossible to find a trait for which an adjective exists which has not been approached with some degree of suggestive investigation." Confusion has arisen from the fact that these investigations, with their ambition to determine magnitudes, give only an occasional glance at problems of terminology and theory.

In this bibliography the titles are classified in the same way as in the one of last year, except that we have added two new sections, one on rating scales and one on experiments which, though quantitative, do not involve tests. In addition to the titles of the year 1926 we have added a few that were omitted from the last report. General discussions are omitted unless they refer specifically to measurements or measuring techniques.A. Summaries. Summaries of special phases or parts of the field have been made by Brandenburg ( 14) on character analysis by means of certain structural measurements; by Cleeton ( 26) on originality; by Clara Chassell Cooper (27) on habit formation in character; by Dodge (33,34) on inhibition; by Yoakum and Manson (149) on self-ratings; by Barr (5) on measurement in civics; by Bingham (7) on personality traits pertaining to vocations; by Bingham and Freyd (8) on personality traits in industry. Wider ranges of titles are given in summaries by Haggerty (55) on scientific methods in character studies; by Leta S. Hollingworth (63) on character, temperament and interests of gifted children. Viteles (137) has a summary of psychology in industry; von Bracken (13) lists 120 titles, mostly German, on experimental techniques in studying character. The Committee on Character Education of the National Education Association (23) lists 153 titles on character study. Summaries adhering more rigidly to measurements are by May and Hartshorne (91), Watson (140), Whaley (146), Freeman (45) and Allport (3). A very complete bibliography including 1,364 titles and covering almost everything in the field is Manson's (89). B. Batteries Including Various Assemblages of Tests Intended to Measure More Than a Single Trait. Moss et al. (97,98,99) have produced a social intelligence test composed of six tests: memory for names and faces; judgment of

“…There is a nearly unanimous tendency on the part of all students to trace these difficulties in large part to motivation, emotional instability, and faulty mental hygiene (3,5,8,9,31,39,61,68,74,80,83,104). Poor home environment, improper discipline and training are responsible in large measure (3,5,6,7,9,15,38,39,65,91), but poverty, nativity of parents, and size of family are not important according to Burt (9), Healy (39), Stuart (94), and Goodenough (32). Burt (9), and Healy (39) go so far as to deny the importance of family history of mental deficiency or instability.…”
