Discriminant Function Analyses

The study sought to determine what changes occur in adolescent personality in the age period between 12 and 19 yr. Specifically the aims were to identify the personality dimensions that distinguish boys from girls at various age periods and any age trends in personality change. The Interpersonal Style Inventory was administered to 331 boys and 358 girls from six high schools. Boys and girls were significantly differentiated on this inventory at each of four age levels through use of discriminant function analyses. Girls scored more Sociable, Nurturant, Conscientious, Help-seeking, and Anxious at all age levels. The boys scored more Detached, Withholding, Self-sufficient, and Stable. Results were in close agreement with those reported by Sealy and Cattell and by Garai and Gurin. Age trends, however, were few in number.

This research examined age and sex variations in moral judgment processes across the life-span, primarily using objective questionnaire techniques. Both stage level of judgment and patterns of requests for further information following dilemma presentation were studied in 242 respondents, ages fourteen to ninety-two, in order to measure individual differences in judgment orientations hypothesized by Gilligan and suggested by theorists of aging. There were few indications of sex differences in either stage or patterns of information-seeking, except for a generally greater preference for additional information in decision-making by women. With respect to age trends, participants over age seventy-five scored at significantly lower stage levels than younger adult groups. However, elderly adults' judgments did not appear simply “regressed” to earlier developmental levels. On both objective and open-ended measures, older participants seemed more likely than younger groups to assimilate moral dilemma information to their own general cognitive frameworks, consistent with an hypothesis of greater synthesis in judgment among the elderly.

A longitudinal followup of 59 disadvantaged Negro children from age 3 to 8 indicated that: (1) their mean Binet IQ was relatively stable, while their Peabody IQ rose appreciably; (2) the magnitude of the correlation between earlier and later IQ scores was a function of the interval between test-retest and the age of the child on the initial comparison test; (3) ratings on test-taking behavior yielded significant sex differences and age trends; (4) ratings specific to formal test performance were significantly correlated with IQ scores of tests taken concurrent to the ratings and of tests taken one or more years later; (5) these ratings did not, however, enhance in multiple regression the correlation which obtained for predictor and criterion IQ scores alone. Findings were discussed in relation to other studies.
