| Abstract: | J. Arthur Woodward received an Early Career Award for his outstanding contributions to psychometric theory and the application of methodology to meaningful psychological problems. He has made important extensions of generalizability theory into domains having multiple dependent measures and has developed interval estimates of reliability. Woodward has contributed to the study of variance heterogeneity in complex factorial designs, provided an analysis of appropriate uses for the analysis of covariance, clarified the multivariate analysis of variance through multiple regression, and reintroduced a useful rank-order approach to factor analysis. He has also made substantial contributions to clinical and socially relevant research, for example, in developing methodology to determine the severity of the national heroin problem.
