Rurality has often been equated as to being backwards and non-promising to provide for a bright future. This study aims to identify the levels of self-concept, family concept, and family interaction measures of subjects from the rural and urban social settings of a state in Malaysia. Six hundred and thirty-nine (or two hundred and thirteen…

Regression equations were developed and cross-validated for six job-performance criteria for employed rehabilitation counselors. Predictors were biographical and questionnaire data. One criterion (self-initiative in increasing professional knowledge and skill) was well predicted (multiple r.48 in developmental group, .57 in validation);…

Factors seem to indicate that the OQS could be effectively substituted for the NTE as a screening measure for graduate students in education. The D-48 was not added to the prediction equation, since it made a negligible contribution to the total prediction. (Authors/CB)

The most potent social-emotional variables were Interest-Participation and Task Orientation; a third social-emotional variable, Cooperation-Compliance, was not related to cognitive functioning. (Authors)

Study compares students' performances in an occupational therapy assistant course and their subsequent on-the-job performance. (Authors)

First purpose of this study was to investigate empirically the accuracy of prediction using regression weights selected through the use of variance-reduction procedures. (Author)

Results of this study indicate that an English proficiency test such as TOEFL may raise the validity of the GRE aptitude tests in predicting foreign students' graduate school GPA. (Author)

On the basis of the findings it would appear that mathematics instructors should consider seriously the use of Structure-of-Intellect factor tests for selection and placement of students. (Authors)

Data from the present study do suggest the existence of some relationships between associative commonality responses and measures of associational fluency and neuroticism. (Author)

Specific aim of the study was to determine the predictive accuracy of selected observations obtained during developmental periods on later developmental outcome. (Authors)

Study examined correlations between standard deviations of test scores and an index of within-community variability in income. (Author)

Purpose of the study is to examine relationships between internality and achievement-related variables in a performance situation where students determine the difficulty level at which they desire to work. (Authors)

The effects of competitive treatments on performance, interest, and retention were examined with the use of a ten-day vocabulary task administered in sixty-six fifth grade classrooms. Neither performance nor retention was increased under the competitive treatments. (CK)
