A study has just been completed which investigated the relationship of the BASIS-A Inventory to the SASSI which measures tendency for drug dependency. (Study 102) A major five year study is underway at the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, USA. One study is comparing the profiles of drug dependency clients to non-drug dependency clients on the BASIS-A Inventory. (Study 103)

A study is nearing completion which relates scores on the BASIS-A Inventory of managers to subordinates' ratings of manager effectiveness. If a manager is high on Being Cautious (This scale measures the child's vulnerability in the family of origin which seems to be associated with trust issues), there is a tendency to have a low mean score from this person's subordinates on manager effectiveness. Other BASIS-A scales also are related to manager effectiveness; in particular the Belonging-Social Interest. (Study 104)

A study is nearing completion using Hierarchical Linear Models (HLM) to relate BASIS-A scores of teachers to ratings of classroom disruption from the students in the different classrooms. The second level HLM model for the B zero term shows that Being Cautious, Taking Charge, and Belonging-Social Interest are related to classroom disruption. (Study 105)

An investigation is underway relating BASIS-A scores, reports of diabetic regimen compliance behavior, and health beliefs for over 200 diabetics. (Study 106)

Data have just been collected on a study of 40 married couples comparing two groups. Both groups were pretested on the BASIS-A Inventory and a marital adjustment instrument. Both groups were posttested on the marital adjustment instrument. One group received information from an Adlerian perspective while the other group was provided with other readings. (Study 107)

The BASIS-A is being translated into sign language for use with the deaf. A video is being prepared to administer the BASIS-A Inventory for the deaf. (Study 108)

The BASIS-A Belonging-Social Interest Scale is being compared with the Sulliman Scale of Social Interest. Preliminary results indicate that both scales correlate approximately the same with a variety of scales to measure coping resources. However, the BASIS-A scale has fewer items and is more efficient. (Study 109)

Data have been collected and presently are being collected comparing the BASIS-A Inventory with an attention deficit instrument for college age students. (Study 110)
