Abstract
"Fifty-two college students were asked to respond to a 40-item, forced choice questionnaire, and then to predict their respective instructor's responses to the same questionnaire. On a previous occasion, three paper-pencil measures of adjustment had been obtained for these Ss--the Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank, and the Welsh A and R scales (MMPI). Scores for over-all accuracy of prediction, various components of accuracy, and tendencies to assume similarities or differences between self and others in making predictions were correlated with the measures of adjustment. Results obtained indicate a trend for adjustment as measured by the ISB to be negatively related to adequacy of prediction. Scores on the A scale were negatively related to tendency to assume similarity in making predictions." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
