No significant differences were found between the Bem Sex-Role Inventory scores of library science students enrolled at a large university in the western United States and those of a normative group provided by the author of the inventory. (Author)

A method for testing differential predictability in a selection model was illustrated on data from 103 male and 24 female graduate students. Since the models were not homogeneous in the variance, a method for adjusting for heterogeneity was presented. (Author/CTM)

Describes a procedure for screening new economics Ph.D. holders in American universities according to the number of articles the individuals publish during their nontenured period. (DB)

Eighty graduate students and faculty estimated the correlation coefficient for each of 13 computer-printed scatterplots. As predicted, subjects underestimated the degree of actual correlation. With substantial moderation by a method-of-presentation factor, this underestimation was most pronounced in the middle of the correlational range.…

Grade point average for a sample of graduate school of education students was more accurately predicted from undergraduate grade point average than from part of total scores on the Undergraduate Record Examination. However, the Advance Education examination of the Undergraduate Record Examination did improve the prediction equation. (Author/JKS)

The IPAT Humor Test of Personality was administered to 140 master's students who were enrolled in a Student Personnel and Counselor Education program.

Describes how, from one-day workshops to yearlong mentor programs, colleges are tying to do a better job of preparing graduate students to run a classroom. (EV)

The author discusses the rationale for counselor education programs' promotion of the development of multicultural counseling competence in counselor trainees. The current status of multicultural counseling competence is discussed, and recommendations are made regarding how counselor education programs and faculty can enhance multicultural…

Describes an exercise for counselor trainees that promotes counselor reflection on the counseling process. The exercise was introduced before, or concurrent with, skill development and required students to combine conversations and discourse analysis of their interaction with "clients." Methods of analysis are presented, along with…

Explores gender issues that contributed to the differential attrition rate of men and women graduate students in two science departments (biology and chemistry) at a large research university. Analysis indicated a significantly larger student attrition rate in chemistry than in biology. In each department the attrition rate for women was…
