The Relationship of Parental Education to Achievement Test Performance of Girls vs. Boys
High scorers on the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test were crosscategorized by levels of father's and mother's education. The relative probability of high achievement for males as compared with females of the same background is then indicated by the ratio of the number of males to the number of females in each category. This ratio was found to decrease with increasing father's and mother's education; however, the association of father's …
Analyzing College Effects
A commonly used procedure in studying college effects involves an input-output model in which student input is controlled by using regression analysis to compute an expected output (e.g., Astin, 1963, 1964; Thistlethwaite & Wheeler, 1966). The correlation of a school environment variable with the residual output (i.e. actual minus expected output) is interpreted as a measure of the school's influence on the output. Although sometimes labeled a pa…
Determinants of Changes in Career Plans During College
According to Davis's theory of the determinants of career changes during college, deviants in a given field tend to switch out, and students with traits characteristic of the field tend to switch in. Thus it is predicted that each career field should gradually become more homogeneous, and that the differences between fields should increase during the college years. Reanalysis of data from a recent study by Werts indicate that these predictions ar…
An Attempt to Improve Prediction of College Success by Adjusting For High School Characteristics
Studies reported periodically over the past fifty years have been concerned with the relationship between high school characteristics and college achievement. The findings of much of this research have been markedly inconsistent. Although Pittinger (1917) reported that graduates of large high schools obtained the best grades in college, other studies (Seyler, 1939; and Saupe, 1941) have obtained results favoring the graduates of small schools. Mo…
