Adults with different sex-role identities rated likability of male and female stimulus persons. Under some conditions, all female subjects and feminine males made more polar ratings of opposite-sex stimulus persons. Under other conditions, masculine males rated male stimulus persons more negatively than female stimulus persons. (Author)

Identifies possible similarities in an array of 16 instructional models available to teachers and teacher educators and reveals three large categories of models. Analysis of factor scores on 33 instructional parameters suggests which characteristics educators attend to in perceiving models, e.g., affective orientations, application emphases,…

This is a review of the current research in mathematics involving breadth of ideas. Research includes topics in number theory, classification of all finite simple groups, the representation of group aids in their application to the study of symmetry. (Author/SA)

Patients were classified into categories using Spitzer and Endicott's computer program for diagnosis. Analyses of variance using single and grouped scales and discriminant analyses predicting category membership suggested that narrow band categorization is better predicted by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory than is broad band…

Results show that the drawings attributed to the Aboriginal "artist" produced more positive impressions and were rated more highly on the semantic differential. This research was presented at the Rocky Mountain Psychological Convention, Denver, Colorado, April, 1978. (Author)

Analyzes the development of the runaway problem and the dramatic increases in number of runaways. This typology classifies runaways by level of alienation with family and the degree to which the child internalizes running away as response to stress. Treatment is discussed. (Author/NRB)

Outlines procedures by which teachers can foster and speed up student vocabulary growth. Discusses three aspects of categorization: word fluency, the list-group-label lesson, and feature analysis. (RL)

Concludes that performance on selected items of a reading comprehension test can be predicted on the basis of performance on Piagetian classification tasks, even when other factors are controlled by a highly parallel subtest. (HOD)

A statistical technique designed to highlight the contributions of two continuous predictor variables to a continuous criterion variable is described. The technique involves selecting subpopulations, called pockets, via regression techniques. An example using cognitive styles to predict performance on problem-solving tasks is discussed.…

The Canadian article explores some of the implications of assigning handicapped children to two commonly used categories: learning disabilities and hearing impairments. (Author/DLS)

The complexity hypothesis suggests that the hierarchical arrangement of learning tasks is related to the complexity of the task. Using a definition of complexity based on an analysis of the rules governing performance on a task, the present study lent support to the hypothesis. (Author/GDC)

The purpose of this paper was to compare job classification decisions that are reached by using three different types of job analysis information: task-oriented, worker-oriented, and abilities-oriented. Practical implications of the findings of the study are presented. (Author/KC)

Presents a classification of discourse, designed for the beginning writer, for which the basic taxon is the tactic--"any conscious decision of the writer to add to, subtract from, or alter in any way what he or she is writing." (JM)

Presents a taxonomy of graphs, including lineal, quantitative, spatial, pictorial, hypothetical, and omitted graphs. Provides illustrations of each kind of graph and suggests that reading teachers take the responsibility for teaching graph reading and drawing skills. (MKM)

Seven discriminant analyses were performed with significant group separation occurring for six of these. Classification analyses indicated that using the 10 major subtests produced accurate classification in approximately 71 percent of cases. Results were discussed in the light of previous research methodologies and the debate as to the…
