Abstract Details

1970, Master of Arts (M.A.), Xavier University, Psychology.
This study was researched to study the effects of three variables on a search type examination. The basic problem was to study the effect of male, female populations, using two different answer forms on a search test measuring vigilance decrement over time. The answer forms were different in respect to color, on being all red and the other red and blue. The search test was multiple-choice in nature, with the answers being transferred to a computer-scored answer form. The results showed significance over time of the search test. The results also showed fewer completions and more errors at the beginning of the tests and at the end of the test more completions and more errors. Greater increases in completions occurred over time using the experimental form in comparison with the control answer form. Overall, there were no significant differences between the different colored answer forms and there were no significant sex differences.
