Recognizing Friends by Their Walk ; Gait Perception without Familiarity Cues

Abstract: Viewers can recognize themselves and others in an abstract display of their movements. Light sources mounted on joints prominent during the act of walking are sufficient cues for identification. No other information, no feedback, and little practice with such a display are needed. This procedure, developed by Johansson, holds promise for inquiry into the dimensions and features of event perception: It is both naturalistic and experimentally manageable.

A short version of the Attitudes toward Women Scale (AWS)

Abstract: A short (25-item) version of the Spence-Helmreich (1972) Attitudes toward Women Scale (AWS) is presented. Correlations between scores on the short and the full (55-item) version for groups of male and female students and groups of their parents were.95 or above. The results of a factor analysis and part-whole correlations also indicated the similarity of the two forms. Normative data for the student and parent samples are described.

Frequency of episodic memories as a function of their age

Abstract: Ninety-eight undergraduates were given a list of 20 common English nouns and told to inspect each word until a specific episodic memory associated with it came to mind, and to write a few words to identify that memory. After finishing the list, they were asked to go back and to date the episodic memories as accurately as they could. The frequency of memories as a function of their age was found to be log log linear, with the frequency inversely related to the age of memory.

The lateral preference inventory for measurement of handedness, footedness, eyedness, and earedness: Norms for young adults

Abstract: The Lateral Preference Inventory is a brief, 16-item questionnaire, which validly measures hand, foot, eye, and ear preference. Normative data is presented for 3,307 subjects, ranging in age from 17 to 35 years. Data is separated by sex, since females are found to be more right-sided than are males for hand, foot, and ear. Data are presented in a format that should allow various scoring and coding criteria to be applied. These norms could serve as a reference or control comparison for measures of laterality taken on clinical or other targeted groups. A copy of the inventory appears in the Appendix.

Short forms of the Texas Social Behavior Inventory (TSBI), an objective measure of self-esteem

Abstract: Two short (16 item) forms of the Helmreich, Stapp, and Ervin (1974) Texas Social Behavior Inventory, a validated, objective measure of self-esteem or social competence are presented. Normative data and other statistics are described for males and females. Correlations between each short form and long (32-item) scale were .97. Factor analysis and part-whole correlations verified the similarity of the two forms. The utility of the scale in research is described.
