Hurt, C. D. – Library and Information Science Research, 1985
An examination of methodological referencing patterns for actual physics, engineering, and sociology literature for the year 1983, using a Dunn planned comparison approach, indicates that physics differs from both engineering and sociology, while no difference was found between engineering and sociology. References are given in each sample…

Marshall, Catherine; Lynch, Kathleen Kelley – 1985
The microcomputer offers social science field researchers a valuable tool for managing qualitative research data. In addition to the flexibility and efficiency of the microcomputer, the logic governing its programming and operation imposes a framework on the research process which necessitates that research decisions and strategies be explicit and…

Olejnik, Stephen F.; Algina, James – 1984
Five distribution-free alternatives to parametric analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are presented and demonstrated using a specific data example. The procedures considered are those suggested by Quade (1967); Puri and Sen (1969); McSweeney and Porter (1971); Burnett and Barr (1978); and Shirley (1981). The results of simulation studies investigating…

Stearns, Linda Brewster; Mizruchi, Mark S. – Administrative Science Quarterly, 1986
Not all organizational interlocks, when broken, will necessarily be reconstituted. Focusing on interlocks between industrial and financial corporations, this paper compares determinants of direct reconstitution with those of functional reconstitution. Factors affecting the likelihood of direct reconstitution are neutral in effect on the likelihood…

Ceci, Stephen J.; Tishman, Jayne – Child Development, 1984
Two experiments examined hyperactive children's tendency to underfocus their attention during learning. Taken together, the results of both experiments demonstrated the validity of the attentional diffusion hypothesis and indicate the need to assess the central processing demands associated with central and incidental learning in order to evaluate…

Doreian, Patrick – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1985
Two journal-to-journal matrices for psychology in 1950 and 1960 are analyzed in terms of structural equivalence to test following hypotheses: that journals of a discipline function as a status-role relational system; that interdisciplinary journals are distant from journals of a field; that journal networks have a core-periphery structure. (26…

Sahli, Marilyn Sue – 1981
Analysis of current methods for achieving compatibility or convertibility between two or more indexing languages draws attention to the need for a switching language to establish equivalency between concepts, not terms. In order to examine the assumption of the conceptual equivalency of identical terms in the indexing languages of related subject…

Hurt, C. D. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Describes a citation analysis of physics, engineering, and sociology literature which was designed to determine if there were any differences in conceptual referencing patterns. The research methodology is described and suggestions for further study are offered. (Author/LRW)

Fletcher, James M. – ACEHI Journal, 1991
This study, involving 59 disabled and nondisabled adolescent readers, tested A. Kennedy's "spatial map" hypothesis wherein spatial sequencing ability is important in lexical reaccess under high-demand text situations alone. Tests of the variance contributions of a spatial sequencing covariate to eye movement dependent measures of reading, across…

Holland, Paul W.; Thayer, Dorothy T. – 1986
The Mantel-Haenszel procedure (MH) is a practical, inexpensive, and powerful way to detect test items that function differently in two groups of examinees. MH is a natural outgrowth of previously suggested chi square methods, and it is also related to methods based on item response theory. The study of items that function differently for two…

Iacovou, Mary Susan – 1987
This investigation of the effect of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on the learning of library skills hypothesized that there would be a substantial difference in the achievement of library skills by those students who received additional drill and practice through the use of CAI and those who received additional drill and practice only from…

Tague, Jean; Ajiferuke, Isola – Journal of Documentation, 1987
Two models of library circulation, the Markov model and the mixed Poisson Model, are applied to circulation statistics from the University of Saskatchewan. Goodness-of-fit tests indicate that neither model fits the data; in both cases, the set of noncirculating items is larger than that predicted by the model. (Author/LRW)

Cowen, Paul S. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1984
Describes a study which compared film and written material with regard to effects produced by order in which conflicting information is presented. Results indicate film is more influential and better recalled than conflicting written information: conflicting paragraphs produce a primacy effect, whereas analogous film segments produce no order…

Greiner, Joy M. – Library Trends, 1985
This nationwide study, conducted to investigate extent to which sex of individual is controlling factor relating to salaries, career progression, and library support, compared the careers of male and female public library directors serving populations of 100,000 or more in continental United States. Questionnaire is appended. (21 references) (EJS)

Doll, Carol A. – Library Quarterly, 1984
Overlap (two libraries own same title) and duplication (one library has more than one copy) in children's collections of books and audiovisual materials were measured. It was found that there was less overlap between two school libraries than between a school library and a public library. Six references are cited. (EJS)
