Data files for the replication of Gould's (1981) administration of the Army Beta to undergraduate students. The test was administered on paper to the sample. Research assistants scored every item and recorded the item scores in a Google spreadsheet. Every item score was then rechecked, and errors corrected. The files included in his component are: - Army_Beta_*.jpg: Image files of participants taking the Army Beta test. Individuals standing in the images are proctors. - Army Beta Scores 12192027.xls: Microsoft Excel file of the dataset when initial data entry was first completed. These data have not been checked or verified for accuracy. - Army Beta Scores 01042018.xls: Microsoft Excel file of the dataset of scores that have been checked for accuracy. Yellow cells indicate item scores that were changed in the data checking process. Red cells indicate item scores that the checker wanted to discuss with the larger group. - Army Beta Scores 01052018.xls: Microsoft Excel file of the dataset of scores after a research team meeting in which we discussed the results of the data checking process. The group agreed that test forms 1-131 needed to be rechecked because the research team member who checked those forms did not find any errors in them--a highly improbable result. The team also discovered an error on the test key for the Picture Completion test (item 8), and every test form's response for this item was re-checked. Finally, other responses marked as needing discussion were checked as a group and resolved. This file is the result of these processes. After the creation of this file, the group considered the data entry and data verification process complete. - Army Beta Scores 01052018.sav: SPSS data file version of the above file. One minor change has been made. Individual #176 reported an ACT composite score of "1800?" which is an impossible score on the ACT. This datum was deleted. - Army Beta Scores 01052018.sav: SPSS data file cleaned in order to calculate Army Alpha scores and ascertain which subtests were completed. Scoring was done in accordance with the instructions in Yerkes, 1921, pp. 165-167. Completion of a subtest was defined as attempting the last item on the subtest, with the exception of Test 5. This test (the Number Checking subtest) sometimes requires correct items to be unmarked. This was true of the last item, for example. Therefore, on this test, "completion" was defined as attempting any of the last 5 items, which would indicate that the examinee completed over 90% of the test. - Army Beta Scores 01082018.sav: Corrected version of data. Two cases (#29 and 114) had a number check item miskeyed. The miskeying was corrected in this version. - Army_Beta_Replication_CFA.txt: Data file for the confirmatory factor analysis for the replication sample. - Army_Beta_1918_CFA_390.txt: Correlation matrix of Army Beta data reported in Yerkes (1921, p. 390). - Army_Beta_1918_CFA_634.txt: Correlation matrix of Army Beta data reported in Yerkes (1921, p. 634). - Beta_answer_forms_*.pdf: PDF files of respondents' answer forms. These were the participants' answer sheets that we graded in order to determine the scores in the data files. Each file contains a scanned image of 10 respondents' answer sheets. The ID number is written in marker at the top of the first page (i.e., the page displaying the Maze subtest). Informed consent documents were removed prior to scanning in order to protect participants' privacy and to conform to IRB requirements. - Completion Chi-squareds.sav: SPSS data file for Army Beta subtest completion data for comparisons between Gould's (1981) sample and the replication sample.
