TWENTY-YEAR PROJECT:
Prof. Kelly Continues
To Measure Personality

By RONALD SCHELKOPF
Prof. Lowell Kelly is a persistent
psychologist.
He has to be to continue a study
begun more than 20 years ago and
whose end is not yet in sight.
The University professor of psy-
chology has gained world-wide
fame foT his studies in personality
measurement, one of which is his
20-year "study of personality
changes in engaged and later mar-
ried couples as they occur through-
out the years.
Questions Asked#
When Prof. Kelly first began his5
marriage study in 1934, he sought
answers to five questions: "How do
men and women pair off in mar-
riage?
"What characteristics of indi-
viduals are associated with sexual
and marital compatability?
Compatible Trait Groups
"What combinations of charac-
teristics in husbands and wives are
associated with sexual and marital
compatibility?
"How do individuals change
during the course of marriage?
"How are these changes related
to the nature of the marriage
relationship established?"
Slim, soft-spoken, the psycholo-
°gist.stretched his long legs, brought
them to rest upon a chair, and
talked of his marriage study.
Used ?00 Couples
"During the years 1935-1938, I3
enlisted the co-operation of 300
engaged couples," he explained.
The P00 individuals underwent
various tests, including anthro-
pometric measurements, blood
groupings, psychological tests, and
a 36-variable personality rating,
scale.
Results of the engagements were
to be recorded and the married
couples questioned annually and
retested after seven years. During
the process of recording, how-
ever, war disrupted the study inI
S1941.
Study Discontinued
At the end of the war, however,
Prof. Kelly was unable to con-
tinue his marriage study. Instead,
he was occupied half-time in 1946-
47 as chief psychologist for the
Veterans' A d mi n i s t r a t i o n in
Columbus, Ohio; served from 1946-
1951 as consultant to the Office of
Naval Research; and since 1946
has been consultant to the U.S.
Veterans' Administration,cand the
U.S. Public Health Service.
All this was in addition to his
University teaching. Another post
he held was that of consultant to
the Selective Service System from
1948-1951.
It was not until 1952-53 thatI

Prof. Kelly could again turn to
his marriage study. After reduc-
tion of the original 300 couples by
non-marriage, divorce, death and
elimination of individuals who had
not submitted periodic question-
naire tests, 116 of the couples re-
main.
Marriage partners rank each
other on a 36-trait personality rat-
ing scale of six basic interests in
personality values: theoretical, eco-
nomic, aesthetic, social, political,
and religious.
Attitudes Change
Scores accorded by each of the
partners are compared with scores
of previous tests, and positive,
negative and neutral tendencies in
attitude are thereby revealed
through passage of time.
Results already compounded re-
veal that there are great changes
of attitudes in many instances
during adulthood. Further findings
indicate that there is little ten-
dency either for the husband to
alter the scores of his wife or the
wife to change that of her hus-
band.
. Tests 1,100 Factors
The former president of the
American Psychological Associa-
tion is very careful to avoid gen-
eralizations. Since he began the
study, the original exploration has
mushroomed to include 1,100 vari-
ables, so he has reason to be con-
servative in making predictions.
The psychologist refuses to pre-
dict when he will complete the
study. It all "depends upon how
far I want to go," Prof. Kelly
shrugs, his soft brown eyes smil-
ing. He will not present any of his
findings until they are conclusive.

Housing: To establish a Housing Pol-

three elected council members, ap-
pointed by the Executive Committee
with the approval of the Council.

This committee shall be responsible
for compiling available information
from existing sources and making
policy recommendations to the Coun-
cil pertaining to all phases of Uni-
versity housing,
Honor Systems: Student Government
Council believes that the introduc-
tion of an honor system into the vari-
ous colleges and schools of the Uni-
versity may be a desirable objective
which might be initiated by a coop-
erative effort of faculty and students
if the practicability and acceptance
by the student body is demonstrated
through subsequent study and ex-
perimental research. Student Govern-
ment Council initiates an Honor Sys-
tem Study Committee which shall
collect data and make recommenda-
tions to the Student Government
Council regarding the introduction of+
an honor system intthe various
schools and colleges of the University,
The committee shall consist of' five
faculty members to be appointed by
the Faculty Senate Advisory Com-
mittee. It is recommended that
among these should be a representa-
tive from the Survey Research Center.
The committee shall also have five
student members appointed by the
Student Government Council. One of
the members should be a member of
the Student Government Council, the
other members should be selected
with a view towards bringing in a
social scientific background.
Student Government Council recog-
nized that the final authority for the
introduction of the honor system into
any school, department, or course,
rests with the faculty. However, the
Council conceives its role in this area
to be that of presenting student opin-
ion for consideration by other ele-
mnents of the University community
in matters -which affect students,
and of determining for the faculty
the nature of student opinion, atti-
tudes, and behavior in regard to
various factors related to the honor
system as accurately and comprehen-
sively as possible.
That Student Government Council
organize a cultural and educational
delegation to visit Southeast Asia for
the summer of 195.
Tableda nmotion relating to recom-
mendations emanating from the Wo-
men's Senate and/or the Union Rep-
resentative Body (proposed).
