This project falls under the general category of pococurantism. It deals with the link between pococurantism, as measured by the Lack of Caring Inventory (LOCI), and several dimensions of neurosis, such as depression as measured by The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II); anxiety as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), Severity Measure for Social Anxiety Disorder—for Social Phobia—Adult (SM-SAD-SF-A); and perfectionism, as measured by The Big Three Perfectionism Scale–Short Form (BTPS-SF: 10-Item Subset), and the Short Almost Perfect Scale (SAPS). A verbatim copy of the survey materials is provided.

This study investigates whether and how individual beliefs about the effect of repetition on truth relate to actual performance in a Truth-by-Repetition paradigm

The background out of which "truth in testing" legislation arose is reviewed in this report, which also describes existing state and federal testing legislation, details arguments raised in hearings on the legislation, analyzes the legal issues raised, and provides a framework for simplifying the arguments and gathering more information. At the center of the debate are two definitions of fairness. On one side are the proponents of disclosure of the test instruments and results; on the other side are those who argue that test security ensures fairness. Proponents of the legislation believe that the principle of fairness outweighs technical objections to open testing. Opponents feel that supporters of the legislation should shoulder the burden of proof that the law is necessary. Issues related to the testing controversy include: the role and power of American testing organizations; the nature, quality, and use of standardized tests; and the consequences of government interference. Also discussed are the legislation itself, its legal implications (constitutional, due process, copyright, freedom of information), initial impact, and strategies for evaluating the debate. Appended are the texts of the Gibbons Bill (H.R. 3564--the "Truth in Testing Act of 1979"), the Weiss Bill (H.R. 4949--the "Educational Testing Act of 1979"), and the California and New York state laws pertaining to admissions testing.
