| Popis: | Norms and reliability data were established for 487 male prisoners on the Survey of Personal Values and the Survey of Interpersonal Values. Means were significantly different on 11 of the 12 values measured by the two tests when compared with the norms provided in the respective manuals for college males. Estimates of test-retest reliability were comparable to those reported in the manuals. Users of the surveys with male prisoners are cautioned against use of the college norms provided in the manuals. Specific norms may have to be developed before these measures can be used in a prison setting. The possibility that the two surveys are contaminated by a social desirability response set should also be considered. |
