The study focuses on the behavior of local school districts in allocating their budgets among teachers, other professional educators, support personnel, and nonpersonnel inputs. The results indicate that districts' allocative behavior at the margin is quite different from their average allocative behavior. (Author/EC)

Explores empirically the effect of expected salary level at the time of entry into an enterprise, and the extent to which these expectations are met over the course of employment, upon women's turnover behavior. Also determines the utility of biodemographic data derived at the time of entry into an enterprise for possibly predicting women's…

Considers the controversy between Bruner "et al." (1966) and Piaget (Inhelder & Piaget, 1964) followed up by Sinclair-de-Zwart (1967) concerning the role of language in the cognitive development of children between the ages of 5 and 7. (Author/RK)

Bytheway discusses the problems of representation and sampling methodology found in the Three Generation Family Study directed by Hill at the University of Minnesota. Hill responds to this criticism and challenges Bytheway to provide a better sampling design. (Author/HLM)

The present study predicted that, if arousal is unitary, then stressors which separately induce it should be additive in their effects on behavioral efficiency. (Editor)

Builds upon earlier experiments in an attempt to measure the interferences between simultaneous tasks and the effects of hypnotic dissociation in increasing or decreasing this interference, thus testing the validity of one or the other of two theoretical models. (Author/RK)

Describes a school mathematics curriculum, steps for its evaluation, an explanation of the mode of implementation of each step, and discusses the ways in which cooperation and systemization enhances the evaluation. (Author/RK)

Discusses an equation that describes the variation with temperature of acid dissociation constants. (MLH)

Describes two investigative labs that use live plants to illustrate important biological principles, include quantitative analysis, and require very little equipment. Each lab is adaptable to a variety of class sizes, course contents, and student backgrounds. Topics include the evolution of flower size in Mimulus and pollination of Brassicas. (DDR)
