Abstract
"Six forms of a value-area test were constructed after the general pattern of the Allport-Vernon to test the Solomon-Howes hypothesis that Allport-Vernon scores could be explained as a function of the log frequency of the answer choices. Each form favored frequency-wise one of the six Spranger value areas. One hundred twentyone women . . . were tested in six groups; each group received one form of our test and the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey test . . … The test of the Solomon-Howes frequency hypothesis failed to show consistent changes in scores on the given value area favored for each group . . …" (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
