Gottfredson, Linda S. – Vocational Guidance Quarterly, 1982

Peer reviewedMcPherson, Andrew – Education Economics, 1993
The measurement of the performance of schools is complicated by the need to adjust for differences in input mixes. Schools may have a differential effect on the performance of different types of pupils. Rather than a single performance indicator, a system of indicators is needed. Characteristics of a good indicator system are identified. (KDP)

Prediger, Dale J. – Vocational Guidance Quarterly, 1982
Proposes that, while there may be real sex differences in vocational interests, Gottfredson's reanalysis of Self-Directed Search predictive data provides no support for the counseling use of sex-divergent raw interest scores. (RC)
