Considered selected attitudinal and value characteristics of high and low successful consultants. Consultants (N=12) and consultees (N=15) completed six measures. Results indicated that more successful consultants have consultees who are more authoritarian and dogmatic, and are dissimilar to consultees in level of dogmatism and reported need for…

Graduate students (N=12) were followed through three years of training in a doctoral program in counseling psychology. Results indicate students increased their use of minimal encouragers, decreased use of questions, maintained acceptable levels of activity, anxiety and quality. No differences were found for student's experience level on program…

A study of the relationship between demographic variables and attitudes toward women's professional achievement among 343 students in a master's degree social work program and alumni is discussed. No significant differences between male and female attitudes were discovered; however, findings indicated that females had lower salary expectations.…

Counselor educators rated the importance of selected student behaviors in their evaluation of graduate students. Ten dimensions emerged. Counselor educators, self-identified with four theoretical orientations, differed significantly in their valuation of eight of the ten dimensions. (Author)

Investigated graduate training experience in psychology and social work, focusing on certain therapist characteristics. Students in both programs improved throughout graduate education. Fourth-year students in psychology, however, showed a slight drop in facilitative responses. (JMF)

Studies the effectiveness of the Miller Analogies Test and undergraduate grade point average in predicting success of military graduate students in on-base programs. Though neither seemed to be valid predictors, they should not be discarded without further study. (JAC)

Discusses the problem of the shortage of engineers capable of designing advanced integrated circuits (IC) and presents some suggestions for increasing the number of IC designers in universities and semiconductor companies. (HM)

Describes the analysis of geology teaching assistant reaction to a training program on teaching techniques utilizing videotaped teaching episodes. Reactions of the participants indicate that the use of videotaped teaching episodes in conjunction with group discussion is one way to improve their teaching practices. (Author/SA)

Results question the generally held contention that the impact of modeling is maximized by presentation of multiple models. Findings suggest caution in making the generalization that the potency of a single model is totally equivalent to that of multiple models. (Author)

This research was concerned with the significance of class size, class level, and core v noncore sections of classes in instructor evaluation at a major state university. High evaluations were associated with small, noncore, undergraduate classes. (Author/CP)
