Abstract Background: Different field tests are used to evaluate muscular capacity, in particular maximal voluntary endurance. However, although there are some normative values for a few muscle endurance tests, these do not consider the mass, size or age of individuals, which are well-known factors that influence muscle performance.Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability of 8 field tests and establish muscle endurance norms, in an healthy population, based on their anthropometric characteristics which could permit to evaluate at best the entire muscle function in a quick manner.Design:Case series. Methods:This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase was to check the reproducibility inter- and intra-assessor for 8 isometric muscle fields tests on twenty volunteered subjects age of 40.9 ± 11.6 years old. The second part was to establish muscle maximal voluntary endurance norms according of these tests on a total of 400 healthy participants segmented by age (50 males and females by age bracket: 20-29; 30-39; 40-49; 50-59 years old, for a total of 200 males and 200 females).Results:The intra and inter-assessor reproducibility tests was very high for all muscle measurements (the ICC varied between 0.915 and 0.996). Good sensitivity is observed for all isometric tests highlights with simple linear regression test demonstrating a significant impact for the variable age for all tests (p<0.001). Each muscle belt presents same ratio regardless of the age and gender group. The simultaneous multiple regression analyses highlight that the anthropometric characteristics of subjects influence significantly the performance of isometric tests. Conclusion:This study has permitted to established prediction equations in an healthy population according to their anthropometric characteristics as well as agonist/antagonist ratios for eight muscle isometric field tests after to be demonstrated an excellent reproducibility of all tests.

Summary: Hare's Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991 ) was originally constructed for use among males in correctional and forensic settings. In this study, the PCL-R protocols of 36 matched pairs of female and male violent offenders were examined with respect to gender differences. The results indicated a few significant differences. By means of discriminant analysis, male Ss were distinguished from their female counterparts through their relatively higher scores on “callous/lack of empathy” (item 8) and “juvenile delinquency” (item 18), whereas the female Ss scored relatively higher on “promiscuous sexual behavior” (item 11). Some sources of bias and possible implications are discussed.

The Given

Abstract. The Thematic Apperception Test is one of the most frequently administered apperceptive techniques. Formal scoring systems are helpful in evaluating story responses. TAT stories, made by 20 males and 20 females in the situation of legal divorce proceedings, were coded for detection and comparison of their personal problem solving ability. The evaluating instrument utilized was the Personal Problem Solving System-Revised (PPSS-R) as developed by G. F. Ronan. The results indicate that in relation to card 1, men more often than women saw the cause of the problem as removable. With card 6GF, women were more motivated to resolve the given problem than were men, women had a higher personal control and their stories contained more optimism compared to men’s stories. In relation to card 6BM women, more often than men, used emotions generated from the problem to orient themselves within the problem. With card 13MF, the men’s level of stress was less compared to that of the women, and men were more able to plan within the context of problem-solving. Significant differences in the examined groups were found in those cards which depicted significant gender and parental potentials. The TAT can be used to help identify personality characteristics and gender differences.
