Huang, Chiungjung – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
This study examined the discriminant and criterion-related validity of achievement goals in predicting academic achievement. Analysis of 151 studies yielded 172 independent samples (N = 52,986) with correlations among achievement goals and between achievement goals and academic achievement. The discriminant validity of achievement goals in the 2-,…

An empirical comparison of three proposed indices of predictor variable potency is presented. These indices are: (1) the scaled weights of the first Fisher-type discriminant function, (2) the total group estimates of the correlations between each predictor variable and the first Fisher-type function, and (3) the within-groups estimates of the…

Pliske, Rebecca M.; And Others – 1984
The Computerized Adaptive Screening Test (CAST) was developed to provide an estimate at recruiting stations of prospects' Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) scores. The CAST was designed to replace the paper-and-pencil Enlistment Screening Test (EST). The initial validation study of CAST indicated that CAST predicts AFQT at least as accurately…

Peer reviewedSweet, Robert – Distance Education, 1986
Describes a survey of 356 adult students enrolled in university-level courses at the Open Learning Institute which was conducted to assess the predictive validity of Tinto's theoretical model of student dropout. It was found that, overall, the Tinto model appears to be a useful framework for such investigations. (Author/LRW)

Wilson, Kenneth M. – 1971
To determine whether it is necessary for eight College Research Center (CRC) member colleges to use 16 distinct sets of weight in combining four admissions tests scores into predictive composities, a standard set of weights were developed and tested for effectiveness in predicting Freshman Average Grade (FAG). The basic sample in which weights…
