The identification of capable students majoring in music is difficult because of the limitations of traditionally used tools for predicting success. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between selected pre-college scores and (1) college cumulative honor point and (2) cumulative honor point in music courses attained at the…

Hoyt, Donald P. – 1968
A statistical equation for predicting success at specific colleges was developed. High-school grade average and the American College Test Composite were two measures used in ratio to develop the general equation. The college profile scores developed by Astin and Holland were used to estimate mean equations for the institutions. The complete…

Stahmann, Robert F. – 1968
Based upon a multiple discriminant analysis of individual entrance examination data and upon a classification analysis of self-predictions, this study was an attempt to classify or predict major field of study at graduation for a sample of university students. University of Utah graduates of 1962 through 1966, in selected fields of study, served…

Smith, Harold T. – 1967
To establish suitable admission requirements for freshman and transfer students in the College of Business at Brigham Young University, it was necessary to determine what factors are predictive of future success in the College. Three major areas were investigated: lower division college preparation as recorded in university transcripts; high…

Burstein, Leigh – 1974
The investigation focused on the effects of using grouped data to estimate the relations that exist in data on individuals. Different research contexts were identified in which researchers group observations though interested in relations among measurements on individuals. The consequences of estimating regression coefficients from grouped data…

Hanson, Allen R. – 1969
The paper investigates classes of adaptive systems used as prediction machines in certain simple games. Ideally the machine should approach a state which will maximize its expected gain. The simplest machine takes the form of an urn, similar to the urn models of Polya and Friedman, but modified so as to form an adaptive system. The machine is…

Boulding, Kenneth E. – 1969
Predicting the future of social systems is useful, but barely possible. Essential to the social sciences is a random element, knowledge, and there is no way of predicting what will be known in the future. The non-random elements, however, allow some predictions. Demography predicts underpopulation in developed countries and the opposite in…

This report investigates the predictive ability of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank's Academic Achievement Scale in identifying patterns of interest associated with good scholarship. Thirty-six males were randomly selected. Scores on the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, the Washington Grade Prediction tests, high school ranks and performance…

Malinen, Paavo – 1969
This investigation was made in a secondary school where the learning of algebra was studied during three years (Grades 7-9). There were 119 pupils divided into two experimental groups each of which had a different course in algebra. The content of these courses was measured by the number of written exercises. Many ability tests and attitude…

Jacobs, Keith W.; Koeppel, John C. – 1973
A relatively new area of psychological investigation is the identification of biographical and psychological variables which contribute to an individual's decision to move from or to stay in a geographical area. This study is an attempt to utilize biographical and psychological data on 50 college students in a multiple linear regression to predict…

The report to the state legislature examines the status of culturally disadvantaged mentally gifted minors in California. The report is preceded by sections of the education code which outline report requirements and criteria for identification of the culturally disadvantaged, underachieving mentally gifted. The report provides data on the…

Hanna, Steven R. – 1971
A simple but physically realistic model is shown to be adequate for estimating long-term average pollutant concentrations due to area sources in cities. In this model, the surface concentration is directly proportional to the local area source strength and inversely proportional to the wind speed. The model performs nearly as well as much more…

Conclusions reached in the WACES study on the adoption of innovations are presented. In general for counselor educators there was a negative correlation between being an innovative adopter and having many administrative responsibilities. The relationship between adoption of innovations and department size and climate is also examined. Twenty-five…
