    Abstract: A large-scale concurrent validity study is described in which 321 first-level management employees in a Canadian provincial telephone company were given a comprehensive assessment battery and were rated on their work performance. Measures from five assessment domains-cognitive abilities, personality/motivational traits, administrative skills, biodata, and supervisory judgment were administered in one-day assessment sessions. Independent assessments of 12 work-performance appraisal dimensions were provided by 165 higher-level supervisors of the 321 participants, using a combination of behaviorally anchored rating scales and behavioral observation scales. The assessment domains were examined individually as to their predictive efficacy, and simple composites of measures from several domains were correlated with the criterion appraisal dimension scores. Concurrent validity coefficients obtained for all 12 criterion dimensions and for an overall management performance criterion ranged from .36 to .56 for women and from .33 to .51 for men.

    Abstract: This study examines the relationship between cognitive style (i.e., information, normative, and diffuse orientation, and commitment) and alcohol/work-related problems. A random sample of Naval personnel ( n = 2000) with less than two years of service toward their first enlistment was sent a questionnaire to assess cognitive style [1] and alcohol/work-related problems. A total of 899 respondents (45.0%) returned their questionnaires. Findings support prevention strategies that incorporate problem-solving, decision-making, and coping strategies, particularly among participants who employ diffuse problem-solving/coping strategies (lack of exploration and commitment, avoidance of problems). Correlations between cognitive style and alcohol/work-related problems are theoretically compatible. Diffuse orientation scores are positively related to both alcohol- and work-related problems, while norm and information orientation scores are negatively related to both measures. Collectively, cognitive style measures explain 11.4 percent of the variability in alcohol-related problems, and 14.0 percent of the variability in work-related problems.

    Abstract: The utility of a multiple-domain assessment approach to management selection was examined in detail. On the basis of concurrent validity results obtained in a recent large-scale validity study by the present authors, the issue of utility, or concrete gains, that the participating organization would realize was investigated from a number of different perspectives and through use of several different utility models. In addition, some new procedures were examined for estimating the variability of job performance, a quantity needed in the linear regression-based utility models. Empirical utility results are presented, and some methodological considerations connected with utility analysis are noted.

    Abstract: A 13-mm torch is evaluated for use in inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). With this system, an analytically useful plasma can be supported at 1.35 kW applied rf power and 9.35 L/min total argon flow. The effect of operating parameters (nebulizer flow rate, rf power, sampling depth, and ion-lens voltages) on analyte ion signals was examined, also. The optimal nebulizer-gas flow rate, sampling depth, and power for the 13-mm torch were found to be comparable to those used for the standard (18-mm) torch. Similar trends were seen between the two systems when these parameters were varied. Under optimal operating conditions, the 13-mm torch was found to produce comparable sensitivities, oxide-ion ratios, and doubly charged ion ratios. The most significant difference exhibited between the two torches was the independence of the doubly charged ion ratio on plasma parameter settings for the 13-mm torch.

    Abstract: This study investigated knowledge, attitudes, and preventive efforts of Malaysian college students regarding health risks associated with passive smoking, as well as possible directions for intervention and health education programs. Students responded anonymously to a structured written questionnaire. Statistical analyses were conducted to examine (1) differences in knowledge, attitudes, and preventive efforts between smokers and nonsmokers and between men and women; (2) the relationship between smoking by parents, siblings, and friends, and students' knowledge, attitudes, and preventive efforts; and (3) relationships between knowledge, attitudes, and preventive efforts. Peer groups and siblings had a substantial influence on students' attitudes toward passive smoking and their preventive efforts when exposed to passive smoke. A regression analysis revealed a statistically significant linear dependence of preventive efforts on knowledge and attitudes, with the attitude component playing the dominant role. This research suggests that educational efforts on passive smoking, directed toward young college students in developing countries such as Malaysia, should concentrate heavily on changing attitudes and reducing the effects of peer group and sibling influences.
