Fennessey, James; And Others – 1978
Recent theoretical and empirical study has considerably refined knowledge as to the dynamics of peer processes operative within secondary schools, but has tended to neglect models incorporating reciprocal effects. This situation results partly from a scarcity of appropriate data, and partly from limitations of older methodologies of estimating…

Peer reviewedWolfe, Lee M. – Multiple Linear Regression Viewpoints, 1979
The inclusion of unmeasured variables in path analyses in educational research is discussed. The statistical basis for inclusion is presented, along with several examples. (JKS)

Path analysis, a technique related to multiple regression analysis is used for ascribing causal relationships among variables. Path analysis involves the construction of explicitly formulated causal models and makes the reasoning explicit in the form of path diagrams and structural equations. Regression analysis is then used to construct path…

Hunt, W. Kevin; Hinkle, Dennis – Career Education Quarterly, 1978
Data from a 1974 national survey on career interests and influences of high school seniors were used to develop a theoretical vocational interest model. Results of factor analysis of one dimension ("Realistic Services") of vocational interest indicated that sex was an important predictor of interest in this vocational dimension. (MF)
