A mesh method, a curve-fitting technique, and an approximate method are used to investigate the Hubble diagrams of four different sets of quasars on the assumptions of a Friedmann universe and mainly cosmological redshifts. The four data sets comprise, respectively: (1) 26 quasars with resolved radio components, steep radio spectra, and large angular diameters; (2) 27 quasars with strong interplanetary scintillation; (3) 24 quasars with a light variation of not more than 0.5; and (4) eight compact radio quasars resolved by VLBI. All the values derived for the deceleration parameter (q0) are found to be greater than 1/2. Other results indicate that the different types of quasars may undergo different kinds of luminosity evolution and that the strict redshift-apparent magnitude relation should be applied to derive q0 from Hubble diagrams of quasars.
