AbstractWe report on findings from alternative ways of assessing the meaning given to “left” and “right” by respondents in the 1984 National Election Study. Approximately 40 per cent of the sample supplied definitions of the concepts; in comparison, about 60 per cent stated their feelings toward left-wingers and right-wingers and described their political orientations using a seven-point left/right rating scale. Left signified socialism or communism for about one-half of those who supplied definitions, and dislike for left-wingers seemed to be associated with these conceptions of left. Right, which was much more highly regarded than left, signified conservatism for one-quarter of those who defined the term. We also factor analyzed respondents' self-ratings on the left/right scale along with their answers to 15 attitude statements. Left was weakly associated with support for labour's use of the strike weapon. In a criterion group of respondents who had completed university and who had ventured definitions of left and right, self-ratings correlated with factors tapping attitudes toward the military and toward economic disparity and social welfare. As expected, respondents' ratings of themselves on the left/right scale were more similar to their ratings of their preferred parties than to their ratings of other parties. The relationship between self-ratings and ratings of preferred parties generally varied directly with the strength of party identification. We conclude with some observations about the political utility of political labels such as left and right.

Prediction Control

Linear discriminant functions were applied to seven dichotomized measures from each of 224 patients who were divided into control, left cerebral damage, right cerebral damage, and diffuse or bilateral damage groups. The measures were: Wechsler Verbal Weighted Score, Wechsler Performance Weighted Score, Halstead Impairment Index, Trail Making Test A, Trail Making Test B, Aphasia 4-rule Prediction, and age of patient. Four comparisons were made, one for each criterion group vs all remaining groups. The discriminant function in each comparison produced a single weighted score per S, and an optimum, least-squares type of separation between the two sets of scores. The resulting distributions of summed, weighted scores in each comparison were inspected for the point of minimum overlap, and an individual's weighted score, falling above or below this point, categorized him as belonging either in the single criterion group or in any one of the remaining three groups. These assignments, when compared with the actual criterion classes of the patients, were expressed as percentages of correct prediction: control vs non-control, 83.0%; left damage vs non-left, 87.5%; right damage vs non-right, 85.7%; diffuse (or bilateral) damage vs non-diffuse, 84.4%. Each measure was examined individually for percentages of correct prediction, but the discriminant function was superior in all instances, being approached only by the Halstead Impairment Index (one comparison) and by the Aphasia 4-rule Prediction (two comparisons). The seven-variable discriminant function was approximately as efficient as either of two previous functions that included more than 20 variables each.

Rate Of Learning

The effect of overlearning on transfer of training on the A-B:A-Br* paradigm was studied in paired-associate learning with meaningful material (adjective pairs). One group of subjects was trained to criterion on list A-B, and two additional groups were given 100 per cent and 200 per cent overlearning on list A-B. Rate of learning list A-Br was found to be directly related to amount of overlearning. Negative transfer on list A-Br was found for errors with the criterion group, while positive transfer was found for the 100 per cent and 200 per cent overlearning groups. The results were consistent with previous paired-associate experiments, and with results of some maze, reversal learning experiments with infrahuman subjects.

Acceptable Internal Consistency

This article presents evidence for reliability and validity for the Aesthetic Judgment Ability (AJA) test. The test is a relatively easy to administer measure of aesthetic ability in judging paintings. Initial findings demonstrate strong evidence for test stability and acceptable internal consistency. It appears to be sensitive in discriminating between groups with clear evidence of criterion-group validity and discriminant validity. The cognitive-developmental perspective of the instrument provides a viable basis for explaining differences in aesthetic judgment. It is potentially useful as a pre-posttest assessment in courses of art education and, in conjunction with other measures, may also be useful in improving understanding of reactions to art.

Orang yang menderita HIV/AIDS seringkali mendapat stigma negatif dan perubahan nilai sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penurunan stigma dan perubahan nilai sosial ODHA (orang dengan HIV/AIDS) melalui aktivitas olahraga futsal Rumah Cemara Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode causal comparative (ex-post facto). Desain dalam penelitian ini adalah criterion group design. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik convience sampling. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 20 orang dengan dibagi dalam dua karakteristik 10 ODHA yang beraktif olahraga dan 10 ODHA yang tidak aktif olahraga. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa angket tertutup dan wawancara dengan menggunakan Skala Likert. Berdasarkan uji alat ukur validitas dan reliabilitas peneliti menggunakan angket yang di adopsi dan di diskusikan dengan expert judgment. Analisis data diolah menggunakan SPSS software versi 23. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan ada penurunan stigma dan perubahan nilai sosial dilihat dari uji independent sampel T dengan T hitung T dengan menarik kesimpulan Nilai t- Hitung tabel Stigma sebesar 3.439 2.10092 dan Nilai Sosial sebesar 3.730 2.10092. Artinya, aktivitas olahraga berpengaruh terhadap penuruna stigma dan perubahan Nilai Sosial ODHA.
