Two tests of creativity (complexity-simplicity preferences, and a true-false personality questionnaire), one test of intelligence (Stanford-Binet IQ) and one achievement test (Stanford Achievement Test, Advanced Battery Partial: KM-3) were administered to 62 high school students. Six 2 × 2 analyses of variance were computed for each achievement subtest, with high and low creativity and high and low IQ as independent variables. It was found that IQ was significant for 5 of the 6 subtests: paragraph meaning, word meaning, spelling, language, and arithmetic computation, while creativity was significantly related to scores on arithmetic reasoning. There were no significant IQ × creativity interactions, although low IQ-low creativity Ss had the lowest scores on all six subtests.

Careful Assessment

In their critique of the Test of Economic Literacy (TEL), Nelson and Sheffrin draw the conclusion that the TEL is an ideological test. In making their case, however, they neglect to cite the TEL Examiner's Manual by John Soper and myself (1987). In the 67 pages of that achievement test manual are the multiple choice questions, written rationales for the correct answers, explanations of the test development and structure, psychometric data, item analysis, and instructions on test administration and use. This information is necessary for anyone making a careful assessment of the test or using it with high school students. A brief description of the development and major features of the TEL is also necessary for analyzing the critics' complaints about TEL questions. The TEL is not perfect, but the charge that the TEL is an ideological test, however, is an extreme one and without foundation.

True False

44 male university students were administered a 12-item true-false questionnaire to determine whether they conceptualized success and failure in terms of internal or external locus of control. They were also administered a measure of fear of failure (the Hostile Press measure). It was predicted that persons high on Hostile Press would be higher on external locus of control than the lows. The prediction was borne out. This study has been repeated twice, once with high school students, and the results have been equivalent.

The Zuckerman Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ-50-CC) is widely used tool to measure personality traits among the test takers and has been translated in various languages. However, based on the literatures related to personality, it is apparent that there is no Mandarin translated ZKPQ is available to measure personality traits among Chinese population based on the Alternative Five Factor Model. Therefore, the aim of this study is to validate and explore the psychometric properties of the Mandarin-translated version of the Zuckerman Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire. A cross-sectional study was designed involving 250 Malaysian Chinese High school students, aged thirteen to eighteen. Forward-backward translations were performed followed by the factor analysis and reliability testing. The five factors structure was assessed and the factor loadings are similar with the Malay version of ZKPQ. This Mandarin translated ZKPQ comprised of 38 items with the factor loadings ranged from 0.41 to 0.79. The reliability values also showed that Mandarin translated ZKPQ is reliable. As such, the Mandarin translated ZKPQ was found to be valid and reliable to use among Mandarin speaking population for the purpose of personality testing and screening.

Effective Contribution

This study aims to determine the role of parental mediation and anonymity towards the tendency of cyberbullying behavior of high school students. This research needs to be done because the tendency of cyberbullying among students is increasing lately. In this study parental mediation and anonymity are predicted to have an influence on cyberbullying tendencies. Therefore the hypothesis in this study is the parental mediation and anonymity can predict cyberbullying tendencies of high school students.The subjects of the study were the XI grade students of state and private high schools in Yogyakarta, as many as 159 students, ranging in age between 15 to 19 years, the research subjects were obtained by purposive sampling. Three scales were used in this study, namely the parent mediation scale, the anonymity scale, and the cyberbullying scale. Data analysis uses multiple regression. The results showed that parental mediation and the perception of anonymity had a role in cyberbullying behavior (F = 10.264; df = 2.156; p <0.01). The effective contribution of the two independent variables to the dependent variable is 11.6% with each variable contributing 5.83% to the parent mediation variable and 5.78% the perception variable on anonymity.
