The relative importance of potential outcomes of occupational guidance
The ‘intangible’ outcomes of occupational guidance were first examined in terms of the extent to which they were an adequate description of the occupational guidance process. Subsequently, a relative weighting was imposed on these outcomes on the basis of judgements made by 12 occupational guidance officers. Two methods were employed and compared; (1) rankings; (2) the Churchman & Ackoff (1954) technique to yield an approximate measure of value. …
Effect of Incentives and Personal Contact on Response Rate to a Mailed Questionnaire
This paper reports a study comparing the efficacy of financial incentive and personal contact in facilitating response to a mailed questionnaire. For 89 partially sighted school leavers the combination of factors significantly increased the speed of return of the questionnaires but did not affect the eventual response rate. The results highlight the limitations of single-variable studies of response-rate facilitators
The Effects of Music and Task Difficulty on Performance at a Visual Vigilance Task
Forty subjects performed a visual vigilance task in music or noise and when the task was difficult or easy. Response measures taken were: correct detections, commission errors, detection latencies and d' values. For the difficult version of the task a significant increase in detection latencies was found which music prevented. Broadly similar findings were obtained for correct detections. The results are compared with other studies of detection l…
