Academic Course Grades as Better Predictors of Graduation from a Commuter-Type College Than SAT Scores
High school transcripts of 400 college freshmen were randomly selected from an enrollment of 1990 students who entered an urban, commuter-type college in 1979. Those who were graduated four years later or who were still enrolled in good standing provided academic profiles in which the number of academic courses taken in high school was the best predictor of college success. High school rank was the second best predictor, while the high school gra…

Prediction of Student Ratings of College Instructors from Multiple Achievement Test Variables
In the 12 classrooms of educational psychology, 308 students completed the Inventory of Student Perception of Instruction (ISPI) and the Instructional Improvement Questionnaire (IIQ). Responses to each instrument were factor analyzed by the principal components solution. Six factors were extracted from the ISPI responses and six from the IIQ. Each of the three achievement test scores in educational psychology was a significant predictor (P
Affect Structure and Achievement in a Select Sample of Rural Negro Children
Of all the variables measured in the Equality of Educational Opportunity survey1 students' attitude toward school, their self concepts, and a sense of environmental control showed the strongest relationship to achievement. The affective measure of a student's feeling about himself and his destiny appeared to be more highly related to scholastic achievement of disadvantaged children than did all the school factors put together
Multivariate Analysis of Attitudes and Personality Characteristics among 60 Youthful Offenders
60 youthful offenders scaled 21 concepts with 12 bipolar adjectives of the semantic differential. The scaled concepts were clustered in semantic space by a multidimensional interrelational affective technique. Interpretation of the relationships of the concepts was based on the distance function of the evaluation and potency dimensions. “Death,” “black,” “police,” and “girl” were observed with the highest D 2 function and were the most intensely …
Relationship between Two Quick Screening Measures of Intelligence for Neuropsychiatric Patients
As part of the routine testing battery, 180 neuropsychiatric patients were administered Form 1 of the Quick Test and the Satz-Mogel abbreviation of the WAIS. There was no significant difference between the mean IQ scores of all Ss on the two tests, and the scores on the two tests were highly correlated ( r = .86)
Peer-Concept Ratings in Rural Children
Comparison of peer perceptions of 95 rural Negro and 95 white elementary level students shows substantial differences across race in the factor structure on a form of Osgood's Semantic Differential. Caste, class, race, grade level, poverty level, or other factors should, in further studies, be related to the depressed peer evaluation of Negro samples should this low evaluation reappear
Risky-Shift Phenomenon in Moral Attitudes of High School Boys and Girls
The risky-shift phenomenon was examined among 170 Catholic senior high school boys and girls for their cognitive and affective ratings about the concepts of “sex” and “faith and reason.” Girls' scores on the Cloze test dealing with the cognitive dimension of the concepts increased significantly while the boys' scores were less exact and more varied following small group discussion. Factor scores on the evaluative, potency, and activity dimensions…
Role of the Classroom Instructor in a Televised Introductory Psychology Course
Little is known of the role of classroom instructors in televised college courses. Student achievement may be affected by classroom instructors' behaviors during the presentation of the televised lecture and during face-to-face discussion afterward. It was hypothesized that student achievement would be greater when classroom instructors were present during the lecture but did not conduct discussion than when classroom instructors were absent duri…
Birth-Order Categories as Predictors of Select Personality Characteristics
The present study was designed to examine the relationships between selected birth-order-rank categories and personality behavior as measured by the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Form A (16 PF). Data from 87 female Ss indicated significant differences among several of the birth-order groups on two of the second-order factors. Significant differences appeared between First Born Only and Second Born and Youngest as well as between First…

Effect of Teacher's Motivational Cues on Achievement Level in Elementary Grades
From the evaluations of 158 fifth, sixth, and seventh grade children on the Pupil Observation Survey, six factors were extracted: I. Warm, Affable, Deferring; II. Fair, Considerate; III. Controlled, Orderly; IV. Knowledgeable, Open-minded; V. Stimulating, Surgent; VI. Self-assured, Poised, Egostrength. By means of deviations of achievement scores (CAT) from ability scores (CTMM), these students within each classroom were ranked and divided into 3…

Personality and Cognitive Learning among Alcoholics with Different Intervals of Sobriety
This study was directed toward two select populations of Alcoholics Anonymous: 25 members with a verified sobriety interval of 1 to 3 mo., and 25 members with a verified sobriety interval of more than 3 yr. The 50 Ss were given Cattell's 16 PF and the Gelb-Goldstein-Weigl-Scheerer Object Sorting Test. A significant difference ( P < .05) was reported on 9 of 16 personality factors; a marked difference ( P < .001) was apparent when the groups were …
