Conditional Process Analysis for Nursing Education Researchers
Nurse faculty need methodologically rigorous yet accessible techniques to evaluate the impact of their teaching strategies and build a strong body of evidence in nursing education science. Conditional process analysis is one such technique that allows researchers to include multiple variables in a single model to disentangle complex influences that instructional processes, student characteristics, and classroom variables have on learning outcomes…
The Hierarchical Structure of Geriatric Patient Satisfaction
This paper describes an instrument design effort aimed at measuring patient-satisfaction among older (65 years and over) subscribers of HMOs. The study was conducted in a multi-satellite prepaid group practice in Buffalo, New York. In order to be able to construct a satisfaction measure that would reflect the interests of the actual consumers of HMO-services, a series of four focused group interviews were held with 24 randomly selected elderly en…

A Life Perspective Comparison of Married and Divorced Persons
Altman and Taylor's (1973) theory of social penetration predicts that attitudes will be related to marital dissolution. Opinions from the National Opinion Research Center's 1976 General Social Survey were factor-analyzed and four attitude factors were identified: life satisfaction, trust, optimism, and political conservatism. These attitudes significantly differentiated remarried, married, divorced and never-married groups, after statistically co…
Custody Evaluations
Recommending appropriate of children of divorcing parents can be emotionally strenuous for mental health professionals and painfully upsetting for at least one of the parents. Also, the approach does not help the divorcing couple to begin to relate with one another as parents but, rather, tends to aggravate and perpetuate the very conflicts which led to their marital break up, disrupting the relationship with the children in the process. Because …
Factor Scales of the CPI
Using data collected in 1962 and 1963 from a sample of 861 male and female National Merit Scholarship participants, the investigators studied the validity of 16 of the 18 CPI scales. In particular, the study was designed to discover whether the common factor variance of the CPI scales carries the valid scale variance or whether the unique scale variance contains the information critical to scale validity. Each CPI scale score was broken down into…

Heredity, Environment, and Personality
This volume reports on a study of 850 pairs of twins who were tested to determine the influence of heredity and environment on individual differences in personality, ability, and interests. It presents the background, research design, and procedures of the study, a complete tabulation of the test results, and the authors' extensive analysis of their findings. Based on one of the largest studies of twin behavior conducted in the twentieth century,…
Personality and Behavioral Correlates of Cigarette Smoking
The smoking behavior of 885 students in high school and 1 yr. later in college was correlated with scores on scales and factor scales of the California Psychological Inventory and of the Objective Behavior Inventory. The data were analyzed separately by sex, and groups of students who started and who quit smoking during the period of study were compared with those who continued either to smoke or to abstain. Smokers were less well-adjusted and mo…

Personality Change and the College
The college years, typically occupying ages 18 through 21, come at the end of adolescence, a time reputedly characterized by rebellion, violent emotion, crises of identity and personality change. Having successfully made the break with childhood the college student has still to develop an adult self-concept, find a suitable occupational role, and consolidate his hard-won independence. Many people feel that the college provides an ideal environmen…

XXVII.— On a Latin Note to the Bodleian MS. of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle concerning the Origin of the Æra Dionysiana
In a note to the communication of Dr. Gustav Oppert, on the Origin of the Æra Dionysiana (Archaeologia , vol. XLIV. p. 347), you paid me the compliment of mentioning a suggestion I had made for the correction of the Latin note to the year A.D. 625, which is found in the MS. of the Saxon Chronicle in the Bodleian MS. Laud, 636, and which, as it stands, is, as you observed, unintelligible. It runs thus: “Hic Cyclus Dionysii quinque decennovenalibus…
