label: Description
content: The Minnesota Inventory of Social Behavior they authored, published by the Psychological Corporation in New York, asked examinees to describe their personal behavior. Particularly, it sought to establish individual preferences in the extent and type of desired social relationships and individual estimates of their own behavior in social situations. More generally, Darley and Williamson argued forcefully for the importance of student counseling at universities, coauthoring the book <I>Student Personnel Work, an Outline of Clinical Procedures</I> (1937).
