This paper presents findings from a two-phase mixed methods study investigating the phenomenological structure of self-relevance among ninth-grade junior high school biology students (Phase 1: N = 118; Phase 2: N = 139). We begin with a phenomenological multidimensional definition of self-relevance as comprising three dimensions: the academic…

Given differences in background and training of those who treat behavior problems in residents, we compared attitudes of…

Three different methods of data collection in which subjects judged proximity between object pairs were examined. One method required subjects to partition objects into homogeneous subsets; the second entailed rating object pairs on a similarity-dissimilarity continuum; and the third involved comparing interobject proximities to a fixed standard.…

Uses a multidimensional approach to explore occupational gender type for 100 occupational titles. Occupational images were primarily structured on two orthogonal dimensions: prestige and gender type. Findings from a sample of 125 undergraduates support the multidimensional approach. Also, even though the prestige and gender-type factors were…
