Equations for estimating the value of the multiple correlation coefficient in the population underlying a sample and the value of the population validity coefficient of a sample regression equation were investigated. Results indicated that cross-validation may no longer be necessary for certain purposes. (Author/MH)

Presents an economic-demographic regression model for projecting grades 1-12 public school enrollments. Results strongly support the hypothesis that state economic conditions are important determinants of enrollment. (Author/IRT)

Appears that school desegregation was integrally connected with the decline in financial support in South Carolina's majority Black district. (Author/IRT)

Sex differences were found in relations between school attitudes, ability, and achievement. It is suggested that at each attitude level increases in cognitive ability are associated with increments in achievement, and at different ability levels increases in attitude scores are related to increments in achievement.

Planning techniques provide a means of systematically evaluating and documenting the impact of alternative land use strategies, thereby enabling state recreational planners to develop policies and programs offensively, rather than as defensive reactions to deteriorating situations. (MB)

Provides information on how hierarchical linear modeling can be used as an alternative to multiple regression analysis for conducting salary-equity studies. Salary data are used to compare and contrast the two approaches. (EV)

A study of 334 Korean male immigrants in the Chicago area reveals that their mental well-being is likely to increase with length of residency and that the most significant variable is occupational satisfaction. (DM)

Examines the determinants of the consumption aspirations of adolescents, with a major emphasis on the influence of the family. Finds that the ability of adolescents to purchase substantial consumer durable goods with their own earnings while being supported in the parental household may lead to unrealistic future consumption goals.

The contribution of the construct "satisfaction with relationship power" to physical violence by men (N=156 college males) against their dating partners was examined. Multiple regression analysis was applied to measures of amount of perceived power in relationship, satisfaction with relationship power, physical aggression, and…

The effect of firearm availability on suicide may differ among age groups. Regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between suicide rates and household firearm ownership for four age groups in the nine census regions from 1979 to 1994, adjusting for regional divorce rates, education, unemployment, and urbanity.

While adults from all socio-economic status (SES) levels generally encounter a decline in health as they grow older, research shows that health status is tied to SES at all stages of life. The dynamics of the relationship between SES and health over the life course of adult Canadians, however, remain largely unexplored. This paper tests the…

This study investigated the thinking styles of Korean gifted students in Korea and examined whether thinking styles based on the theory of mental self-government could predict scientific giftedness based on Korean people?s implicit concepts. Participants were 179 students from the two science high schools and 176 students from the general high…

Homicidality rates have been shown to be more prominent among persons diagnosed with mental disorders as compared to the general population. However, the role that anxiety plays in homicidal ideation and intent is poorly understood.

The present study investigated the associations among perceived adherence to the system of care philosophy, changes in internalizing and externalizing behaviors, and consumer satisfaction with services. Participants included 98 families, interviewed at two time points across a one-year period. Hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that the…

To develop an in-process quality control system, a sensor technique and a decision-making algorithm need to be applied during machining operations. Several sensor techniques have been used in the in-process prediction of quality characteristics in machining operations. For example, an accelerometer sensor can be used to monitor the vibration of…
