The H{sub {beta}} line shifts were measured in dense {ital ssT}-shaped-tube plasmas for electron densities from 2.1{times}10{sup 17} to 7.8{times}10{sup 17} cm{sup {minus}3} and temperatures between 19 000 and 35 000 K. Comparisons of these shifts with recent theories (H. R. Griem, Phys. Rev. A 28, 1596 (1983); 38, 2943 (1988)) that take the dynamical quadratic Stark effect for {Delta}{ital n}=0 and {ital n}{prime}={ital n}+1 interactions and ion quadrupole effects into account are presented. Also, comparisons with some experimental results (H. L. Wiese, D. E. Kelleher, and D. R. Paquette, Phys. Rev. A 6, 1132 (1972)) were made. Our results are in agreement with an extrapolated experimental best fit to the experimental results of Wiese {ital et} {ital al}., but the measured shifts are larger than the theories predict.
