The field of strategic enrollment management has become increasingly invested in data-informed practices. In 2015, The College at Brockport, State University of New York implemented a recruitment strategy that incorporated both predictive analytics and customer relationship management (CRM) technology. This effort both reduced budget expenditures…

Provides tables of Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) subtests and composite predicted-achievement standard scores based on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) Verbal and Performance intelligence quotients (IQs).

Presents new estimates of growth in aggregate and industry demand for the 1982-95 period, updating prior projections to 1990 and extending the analysis to 1995. Examines the effects of alternate policies on United States economic growth, distribution of demand, and employment. (NRJ)

Increases in legitimate opportunities for women may be accompanied by increases in female criminality. Crucial links between opportunity and delinquency are identified. The equal opportunity hypothesis is expanded into a comprehensive predictive model. (Author)

Considers alternative strategies for optimizing statistical power in applied psychological research, including increasing sample size, combining predictors, and increasing alpha. Concluded that a priori power analysis should be a major consideration in any test of an hypothesis. Alpha level adjustment should be viewed as useful for increasing…

Presents possible factors that might produce lower risk for suicide among future elderly in the United States. Makes predictions of elderly suicides based on assumption of stable rather than changing rates; produces estimates of more than twice current number of suicides and proportionate increase in number of suicides from 1:5 for 1980s to 1:3 by…

Reviews the application of epidemiology to alcoholism. Discusses measurement and diagnostic issues and reviews studies of the prevalence of alcoholism, its risk factors, and the contributions of epidemiology to our knowledge of treatment and prevention. (Author/KS)

The authors analyzed three techniques employed in technological forecasting: (1) brainstorming, (2) extrapolation, and (3) scenario writing. They argue that these techniques have value to practitioners, particularly managers, who are often affected by technological change. (CH)

Although some types of inferences are mandatory for readers, predictive inferences (inferences for what will happen next) are generally considered elaborative or optional. Three experiments measuring probe word lexical decision latencies produced evidence for the online generation of predictive inferences during narrative text comprehension.…

Seismic events which took place during 1982 form the focus of this review on 1982 seismic research activities and projects. Funding problems for local and other networks, earthquake-prediction research (funded by National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977: P.L. 95-124), use of computers, and aftershocks are among the areas addressed. (JN)

Maintains that traditional mental status examination and clinical intuition or empathetic judgment are insufficient to predict suicide. Describes five components involved in the formulation of suicide risk: analysis of the patient's past response to stress, assessment of vulnerability to life-threatening affects, assessment of exterior sustaining…

What the classroom of the next century will be like can only be speculated upon, but, almost certainly, any changes will require self-examination of the human essence in relation to technology. One outcome of technological change may be increased freedom for humans to relate to each other on a more human basis. Also, it appears that education will…

The application of future studies to the administration of student services promises to produce more than projections and forecasts; it can affect one's total concept of management and influence the entire institution. This article explains the futurist perspective, its application, and the forces of change that brought it about. (LPG)
