The WAIS Picture Arrangement Subtest as a Measure of Anticipation

Summary

Recent research and theory has stressed the importance of future extension as a parameter in psychological development and in psychopathology. One of the primary methods for assessing future extension has been through fantasy productions to TAT cards or to story stems. Both of these methods have been useful but they are limited because they are dependent in part on verbal fluency. It has been suggested that the Picture Arrangement (PA) subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale assesses anticipation and planning and, as such, it provides a non-verbal measure of future extension. PA scores were found in a pilot study to have a positive and significant relationship to future extension as measured in stories told to story roots, and in the present study to future extension as measured in TAT stories.     

The Body's Contribution to a Female Sense of Self

The study presents a theory of early female development based on infant observation studies and clinical reconstructions. Suggestions are made for applying this theory in doing psychotherapy with women. Examining earlier psychoanalytic studies on gender development in girls in the light of the infant studies underscores the role played by the body in fonning a female sense of self. It challenges us to reassess both our theory and technique in regard to female development and ueatment.

The Potential Contribution of the Behavioral Scientist to World Peace

In this brief statement, Carl Rogers, with assistance from David Malcolm, presents his view of the state of the world today. His hope is to disengage the world from a precarious entanglement that threatens human survival. He seeks alternatives that would reduce psychological barriers that impinge on rational communication.     

Intelligence as measured by the WAIS and a military draft board group test

Intelligence test scores derived from individual administration of the WAIS and group administration of a military draft board screening test were obtained for a sample of 232 young Danish males. The means on both tests show the sample was somewhat above the Danish average. Despite a more than four-year time interval between the two testings, and procedural and content differences between the tests themselves, the correlation between the two test scores was substantial (0.82). Consequently, we conclude that the group administered draft board test measures the same general intelligence as does the individually administered WAIS and is therefore well suited to large-scale epidemiological and demographic studies of intelligence.
