This article constructs a Terminators-Remainers scale composed of those items of the Social History Questionnaire that best differentiated between Terminators and Remainers. A formidable problem encountered in clinical practice concerns the large number of clients who start psychotherapy but for various reasons terminate treatment prematurely. The initial sample of this study consisted of 95 clients accepted for psychotherapy during a 11-month period at a small mental health clinic. The measure used was the Social History Questionnaire, a 393-item, forced-choice, pencil-and-paper intake interview.

The article presents a questionnaire which aimed to evaluate trout angling potentials of fishing waters in Scotland. The paper served as an initial sifting process and was formulated base on some suggestions to increase the number of trouts for fishing by a countrywide survey of possible inlets. Some questions might appear irrelevant to the problem of assessing a trout fishery, however, the wash-in of organic matter and fertilizing chemicals around the land affected aquatic animals.

Previous attempts to measure work-related motivation, or `drive', have been largely unsuccessful. Questionnaires are readily fakeable; projective techniques are cumbersome and display little evidence of reliability or validity. This paper discusses Sonic hypothesised psychomotor and verbal learning indices of drive and outlines an investigation designed to evaluate them against conventional methods in an industrial setting. A measure of `involuntary rest pauses' based on a brief lapping task was found to be a stable and fairly valid measure which appears suited to industrial use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the efficacy of the Pain Apperception Test as a research tool by investigating the consistency of individual response as to pain apperception, neuroticism, manifest anxiety, and self-appraisal. The research design involved the PAT, a medical questionnaire, Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, and a pain experience questionnaire. Data from responses to these instruments permitted studying the relationship of pain apperception to personality characteristics, and to subjects' ratings of their comparative past pain experience. Relationships also were examined regarding the comparative apperception of pain in the counterpart PAT pictures, thus investigating Anticipation versus Felt-Sensation.

This article focuses on public opinion and information concerning mental health. In order to study certain opinions related to mental illness, an interview questionnaire was constructed which contained nine basic questions pertaining to the problem. These questions were designed to explore the causative factors which the public associates with mental disease, and to sample opinions and attitudes concerning mental illness. In addition, several questions were asked in order to determine the sex, race, age, educational level, religious affiliation, country of birth and occupational level of the respondent. The final draft of the questionnaire was established after pre-testing on preliminary forms. None of the data collected before the final draft is included in this report. This paper reports the findings obtained from six of the nine questions.
