Within digitally-supported learning environments, learners need to observe themselves so that they can reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and take a step toward autonomous learning. Within the scope of this research, a technology and analytics enhanced assessment environment in which students can assess themselves was implemented and…

The SSHA and the VPI were administered to 100 undergraduates. The scales of the two instruments were compared using canonical analysis. The analysis revealed a relationship between a component of the SSHA and a component of the VPI which accounted for 31 percent of the variance of the two instruments. (Author)

A multiple discriminate analysis of student role orientations as related to college dropouts yielded a significant function which indicated that defaulters and successful persisters as distinguished from probation persisters and dismissals have stronger preferences for social development and vocational behavior, moderate interest in academic,…

A random sample of university students was interviewed concerning illicit psychotropic drug use and administered the Personality Research Form. Univariate and multivariate analyses strongly supported the hypothesis that nonusers, moderate users, and heavy users of illicit drugs differ in personality characteristics. (Author)

The Ss reporting serious suicidal behavior in the self reported significantly more suicidal behavior in others, including relatives. Significant subgroup differences were present which suggest the possibility of a repression-sensitization continuum. (Author)

Data from the California Psychological Inventory suggested that users were socially poised, open to experience, and concerned with the feelings of others. Conversely, they also seemed impulsive, pleasure seeking, and rebellious. Nonusers were responsible and rule abiding; however, they also tended to be inflexible, conventional, and narrow in…

Based on the data, young adults regardless of college attended seem to change more in the social area than any other area and they change in the direction of becoming more gregarious. Least change occurs in the degree of traditional beliefs, conformity, domestic habits, and fiscal policies engaged in by young adults. The major conclusion is that…

Regular users of marijuana were not found to be significantly different from the other user groups except with respect to proportions of group members using stronger drugs. The distinctiveness of the regular user group and the non-user group suggests that those who do not use marijuana and stronger illicit drugs have been able to find…

A measure of sex guilt was related to the report of previous sexual experiences, feelings following participation, or reasons for nonparticipation, and premarital and postmarital sexual standards. Sex guilt was negatively correlated with the level of intimacy of premarital sexual experiences, and guilty Ss has less permissive premarital standards.…

This study adds credence to the findings of others that leavers are less settled personalities who think deeply, act on feelings rather than on measured consequences, are anxious about their environment and about themselves, sense a need for independence and seek ways to test that need. (Author)

This study examines the Rotter Internal-External locus of control Scale to determine if it differentiates people according to the degree of control they feel they have over behavior. The results support Rotter's claim that reinforcement value has to be taken into consideration in Locus of Control studies. (EJT)

This report investigates those factors, necessary for, or facilitative of, stimulus organization. Part I considers three experimentally controlled factors: (1) stimuli; (2) responses; and (3) temporal organization of stimuli. The results revealed that temporal specing accounted for different findings. When the intertrial interval (ITI) was present…
