Reporting Standards for Research Publications
Reporting standards for research Publications and ethical issues relevant to publishing research findings are presented to provide best practices for counselors, counselor educators, researchers, educators, and other mental health practitioners and for contributors to the Counseling Outcome Research and Evaluation (CORE) journal. Topics include ethical issues in publishing research, reporting standards for research, validity and reliability evide…
The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics Scale
The purpose of the present study is to investigate evidence of the validity of Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics Scale (SATS) scores and their relationship with scores from two other measures of attitudes toward statistics, the Attitude Toward Statistics Scale (ATS) and the Statistics Attitude Survey. The pre- and postcourse responses of 342 graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in inferential statistics courses at a large midwestern u…
Standard-Setting Techniques
Standard-setting techniques, comparisons of these techniques, and methods for assessing interrater and intrarater reliability are described using an application for counseling programs
Correlational Meta-Analysis
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the violation of the assumption of independence when combining correlation coefficients in a meta-analysis. In this Monte Carlo simulation the following four parameters were used with the values specified: N-the sample size within a study (20, 50, 100), p-the number of predictors (1, 2, 3, 5), rho( i)-the population intercorrelation among predictors (0, .3, .7), rho( p)-the population corre…
The Relationship of Reading Comprehension to Critical Thinking Skills, Cognitive Ability, and Vocabulary for a Sample of Underachieving College Freshmen
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of reading comprehension for underachieving college freshmen to their critical thinking skills, vocabulary, and cognitive ability. Three tests administered to 165 students enrolled in a remedial reading course at a large midwestern university were: (a) Cornell Critical Thinking Test Level Z (CCTT), (b) Developing Cognitive Abilities Test (DCAT), and (c) Iowa Silent Reading Test (ISRT). Eac…

Research Note
A Monte Carlo Study of the Sampling Distribution of the Congruence Coefficient
The effects of sample size, number of variables, and population value of the congruence coefficient on the sampling distribution of the congruence coefficient were examined. Sample data were generated on the basis of the common factor model, and principal axes factor analyses were performed. The results indicated that when the population congruence coefficient is zero, the sampling distribution of the congruence coefficient is relatively stable a…
A Model of Statistics Achievement Using Spatial Ability, Feminist Attitudes and Mathematics-Related Variables as Predictors
Subjects for this study were graduate students enrolled in inferential statistics classes at a midwestern university. The study was conducted to determine the importance of spatial ability, attitudes toward mathematics, mathematical background, masculinity-femininity of interest pattern, attitudes toward feminist issues, student sex, and verbal and mathematical ability as predictors of achievement in applied statistics courses for male and female…
Bias in Achievement Testing
In this article the authors describe what publishers of major achievement tests are now doing to minimize bias and offer recommendations for changes still needed
The Predictive Validity of the Descriptive Tests of Language Skills for Developmental Students over a Four-Year College Program
The sample for this study included 496 students admitted to a large midwestern university through the special admissions program. Validity coefficients of the Descriptive Tests of Language Skills (DTLS), the Academic Tests of the ACT Assessment Program (ACT), and high school percentile rank were calculated with cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of each of four years of college. The most valid predictor of CGPA was ACT composite, al…
A Construct Validation Study of the Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales
The Fennema-Sherman Mathematics Attitudes Scales were administered to 1541 junior high school students. To investigate the construct validity of the scales, factor analyses were performed on the responses to the 108 items comprising the scales. Additional factor analyses of the scale scores were performed, and a comparison was made with results reported by Fennema and Sherman (1976). Analysis of the items led to the interpretation of eight factor…
