Voluntary Class Absences and other Behaviors in College Students
In a survey of 120 sophomore and junior undergraduate college students, we found that those who admitted to cutting class for no reason during the previous month had a lower mean GPA than those who reported no voluntary absences. Cutting class was related to reports of getting drunk, speeding, breaking the law, and visiting home, although reports of speeding, getting drunk, and breaking the law were not related to GPA. The 11 students who reporte…
Incarcerated Women
Sex-Role Orientation among Incarcerated Women
This study of 120 women inmates of a state prison showed that sex-role orientation was related to the type of offence committed by women but, contrary to the hypothesis about the "new" female offender, violent offenders were more traditionally feminine than financial and drug-related offenders. Drug offenders had high rates of undifferentiated ratings. Women became more traditionally masculine or feminine with length of incarceration. Women who h…
Comparison of Women's and Coeducational College Classrooms
This study examined the number of assignments in 502 course syllabi collected from 18 women's colleges and 18 matched coeducational colleges. The number of assignments was significantly higher at women's colleges, at colleges with lower selectivity for admissions, and in introductory classes. Significant differences among the four disciplines examined (psychology, mathematics, English, and art history) were found. Three of the factors (gender, di…
Do Children's Career Aspirations Predict Adult Occupations? An Answer from a Secondary Analysis of a Longitudinal Study
A secondary analysis of 271 students aged 6 to 17 years from the Terman (1926) longitudinal study of gifted children showed a strong concordance rate between childhood career aspirations and early adult attainment, particularly in scientific, artistic, helping, and skilled trade professions
Origins of Children's Career Aspirations
Origins of Children's Career Aspirations
Analysis of responses of 576 children in kindergarten and Grades 2, 4, and 6 in both public and private schools shows direct suggestions particularly from significant others are recalled increasingly frequently as children grow older. Children, however, are less likely to select suggested occupations with age. These data do not account for high aspirations of children to parental occupations
Children's Estimates of Their Parents' Job Satisfaction
319 3rd and 5th grade children were asked to rate their parents' job satisfaction. These ratings were compared to parents' self-reports of job satisfaction. Older children were more accurate in their estimates. Girls were more accurate in rating their mothers, while boys were more accurate in rating fathers. Children who perceived their parents as satisfied with their jobs were more likely to aspire to their parents' occupations than those who ra…
Stability of Kindergarten Children's Career Aspirations
Stability of Kindergarten Children's Career Aspirations
211 kindergarten children were interviewed in September and again in May concerning their career aspirations. On both occasions the interviewer asked for a first career choice; if something other than a real job was given, the interviewer asked for a second choice. During the September interview, 74% supplied a “real” career as their first choice and 10% gave real career responses as a second choice. Eight months later, 89% gave real careers as a…
A Retrospective Study of Career Development
Brief interviews were conducted with 620 full-time employed adults between the ages of 40 and 55 years to identify their first realistic career aspirations and the ages at which they were made. A majority (59%) indicated a first career aspiration before the age of 13. Exact matches with current occupations were rare but increased in frequency with higher age of first aspiration. Aspirations and occupations were classified according to Holland's (…
Children's Estimates of Their Parents' Job Satisfaction
Adolescents' Locus of Control and Compliance with Contingency Contracting and Counseling Interventions
This study compared secondary school students' compliance with counseling or contingency contracting for truancy and disruptive behavior. Contracting was more effective than counseling with the 44 truants but not for those showing disruptive behavior (n = 52). Individuals with an internal locus of control were more responsive to counseling than those with external locus of control

Locus of Control and Career Aspirations of Fourth Grade Students
The career aspirations of 86 fourth grade students were compared with their scores on a locus of control measure. Of the 45 externally scoring students, 60% either had no career aspiration or a fantasy career aspiration. Of the 41 internally scoring students, 93% had realistic career aspirations. Strongly sex-stereotyped career aspirations were equally divided between the two groups
Locus of Control and Career Aspirations of Fourth Grade Students
Academic Locus of Control, Type A Behavior, and College Absenteeism
Responses from 40 women and 56 men to the Academic Locus of Control Scale and the Framingham Type A Scale were unrelated to each other but correlated .49 and .55 and -.32 and -.37, respectively, with absences from class. Elimination of illness-related absences raised the correlations
Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome-like Symptoms among Aids Caregivers
Interviews were conducted with 43 mothers of AIDS fatalities 2 or 3 years following their sons' deaths. Eighty-four percent of the mothers who devoted full-time care to their sons for substantial periods of time showed a cluster of symptoms normally associated with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Only 8% of those who did not engage in extended care experienced three or more of these symptoms

Concurrent Validity of the Academic Locus of Control Scale
In three studies of college students, significant correlations in the predicted direction were found between criterion process variables related to academic success and scores on the Academic Locus of Control (ALC) Scale. The criterion variables included verbal class participation, study time, and homework completion. Although the correlations were small, accounting for between 10% and 21% of the ALC variance, the validity of the scale was suppor…
Locus of Control and Aids Information-Seeking in College Women
124 women in a liberal arts college were offered course credit for attending an informational seminar on AIDS. Chance Health Locus of Control scores, Academic Locus of Control scores, and previous information about AIDS predicted attendance
Informed Consent
This study systematically replicated Gardner's (1978) finding that the withdrawal-without-prejudice consent component negated the debilitative effects of uncontrollable noise on performance. A group that was recruited 10 weeks before the experiment and informed of the withdrawal option only at that time, however, showed typical response deficits. Although all groups were informed of the withdrawal option prior to the experiment, the signing of th…

Chance Health-Orientation and Aids Information Seeking
Individuals who do not take responsibility for their health have been found to seek health-related information at a low rate (Wallston & Wallston, 1981). The present study investigated attendance at education sessions on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) by at-risk individuals (sexually active male homosexuals) residing in an area with a low incidence of AIDS and their scores on the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scales (Wallst…

Students' Locus of Control and Ratings of a Structured Educational Environment
Ratings of Humor following Experience with Unsolvable Tasks
Seligman ( 1975) suggested that following experience with uncontrollable outcomes, a cluster of cognitive, motivational, and emotional factors develop which interfere with subsequent performance. Such a condition is called learned helplessness. The cognitive and motivational aspects of the phenomenon have been substantially researched, but few studies have addressed the emotional state following helplessness training. This study was conducted to …
Hotel Ratings
ratings of a hotel as a function of solicitation strategies. For 1 mo., the guests at a 357-room hotel were recruited to complete a 5-item, 5-point, high-positive Likert scale on which they rated room condition, food qualiry, and service by front office, dining room, and housekeeping staff. The 1,749 guests received fbrms at check-in, check-out, or were recruited at check-in to complete forms to be found in their rooms. Subjects were informed tha…

Hotel Ratings
Two previous studies (Trice & Layman, 1983, 1984) yielded low return rates for surveys of hotel guests. Under non-recruitment conditions, most surveys contained negative ratings. The present study assessed return rates and negative ratings under recruitment and incentive conditions. Open comments were also examined. During a 5-wk. period, 200 randomly selected guests at two franchise properties adjacent to interstate highways were recruited to pa…
Number of Types of Training Tasks and the Generality of the Learned Helplessness Effect
Studies by Cole and Coyne and Tiggemann and Winefield have challenged the generality of the helplessness effect. Likewise, Trice and Woods2 found that unsolvable numerical sequence problems brought about helpless behavior on similar problems at a later date, but the same training brought about enhanced performance on an anagram solution test. Variables demonstrated to affect the generality of helplessness training include training task and test t…
Hotel Ratings
Two studies addressed format issues in the design of hotel guest surveys. The first study indicated that a space for commentary was a positive incentive for return among 600 guests at a resort hotel. An unstructured space for comment elicited more comments than a structured space. A second study showed that, when space for comment was provided, longer lists of objective rating items brought about higher return rates (5, 10, and 15 Likert items). …

Informed Consent
Undergraduate volunteers (N = 132) were either informed of the withdrawal-without-prejudice clause immediately prior to testing or at the time of recruitment several days earlier. Of those informed of the withdrawal clause at recruitment, 50% failed to attend the study session, whereas only 27% of those who were not informed of the clause until the time of the appointment failed to keep the appointment. Performance on a test designed to measure p…
