The purpose of this report is to describe a process for creating unique multiple linear regression problems for each student. Three formulas were utilized to define intercorrelations between variables. (Editor)

Using step-wise multiple regression analyses, regression equations were generated for sixty school age subjects with choice and stage of moral reasoning on moral dilemmas as the dependent variables. The implications of the findings for further research and curriculum were discussed. (Editor/RK)

The study deals with the job component method of establishing compensation rates. The basic job analysis questionnaire used in the study was the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ) (Form B). On the basis of a principal components analysis of PAQ data for a large sample (2,688) of jobs, a number of principal components (job dimensions) were…

This paper offers a new methodology for analyzing individual differences in preference judgments with regard to a set of stimuli. (Author)

A multiple regression analysis of sequential effects in magnitude estimation and absolute identification is presented as an alternative to the approach used by Lockhead and his students. The new analysis indicates that sequential effects do not extend over more than one trial. (Editor)

The present study used a variety of personality tests to compare long- and short-sleeping college students and a stepwise multiple regression analysis in order to arrive at a pattern analysis and to include a test for the effect of possible repressor variables. (Author)

A total of 15 acute schizophrenics, 11 acute psychotic depressives, and 15 normal subjects completed a multitrial free-recall task. Results indicated that with lists of relatively high semantic content, the recall impairment displayed by schizophrenics and depressives stems mainly from an inability to completely use perceived structuring of the…

This research reexamines the expectancy-improvement data from an earlier study showing significant correlation with 10 of 15 measures of patient improvement and patient expectancy. (Editor/RK)

Tests hierarchical regression model--library employee's salary is a function of library size, public sector collective bargaining strength, library's ability to pay, cost of living in area, presence of any union and union representing librarians in library--on three salary levels (department head, beginning librarian, clerical worker). (29…

Since the Bureau of Labor's cost-of-living statistics are available for only 40 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs) in four regions, the author presents a method to estimate family budgets for all SMSAs. Data for the calculations are easily accessible in Census and other government publications. (Author/KC)

Common factor scores were compared to unfactored data-level variables as predictors in terms of the correlation of a criterion with the predicted value in multiple regression equations applied to replication (cross-validation) samples. (Editor)

This nationwide survey of online searchers indicated that 77 percent preferred to have patron present; two factors accounted for 72 percent of variance of patron presence (searcher's ability to refine search, searcher's time schedule); 16 percent admitted to nervousness with patron present; concern about spelling errors accounted for 44 percent of…

Reports research that sheds light on the relative value of two explanations of receptivity, i.e., how people are oriented internally toward proposed innovations rather than how they behave in relation to those innovations. Data was gathered in a higher educational setting and involved faculty responses to a number of proposed organizational…

Population projections developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, 1970 to 2000, have been updated to report the latest information on fertility and mortality trends and migration within the State. Methology utilized closely resembles the cohort component procedure, with multiple regression analysis applied to historical information for…

The Coleman Report demonstrated that family background is correlated with achievement in school. This research examined this relationship for different sexes and social classes. Family background included whether or not a child was living with both natural parents as well as the ordinal position of the child and the number of children in the…
