The article reviews the dominant conceptual schemes used to study occupational choice, considers potentially female-specific variables, and provides a typology for the analysis of women's marital-familial statuses and work modes. (Author)

Results show that the incentive group students, as compared with the control group students, obtained significantly higher verbal, performance, and full IQ scores. This suggests that norm-referenced tests as diagnostic placement aids must be used with caution. (Author)

Elementary-age children (Nequals20) diagnosed as learning disabled were assessed. It was concluded that regular classroom instruction alone may be insufficient for mainstreamed children with learning disabilities and that supplemental programming seems necessary if prior rates of academic learning are to be maintained. (Author)

The Model for Predicting Early Alienation was found to have validity: that is, it was found to be a useful, if not the ultimately perfect, tool for predicting alienation in ninth-grade students. (Author)

An ongoing peer counseling program was studied. Results suggested two distinct service delivery systems. An informal system served large numbers of self-referred students and dealt primarily with personal-social problems. A formal system reached fewer students, relied upon staff referral, and addressed academic difficulties. (Author)

Students assessed a Special Educational Opportunity tutorial program and specified, when appropriate, their reasons for nonutilization. Results suggest that tutorial programs offered to students on a voluntary basis, staffed by their peers and operated on a one-to-one interaction, should be examined. (Author)

Findings supported previous research indicating that adult educational participation is complex behavior involving more than subject matter interests and motivational orientations, and opened a new line of attack on the problem. (Author)

The National Science Foundation's interest in the electronic alternative to paper-based communication is delineated through a discussion of its research projects in this area. Results to date, and predictions for future research are included. (MBR)

A 1976 conference on "The Arts and Aesthetics: An Agenda for the Future" examined the progress of arts activity since the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and charted an agenda for research in eight primary areas. (MJB)

With minimal possibility of predicting student withdrawal based on traditional variables, there appears to be a need to uncover "personal reasons." (Author)

This article describes an evaluative project with normal high school students undertaken to measure what lasting changes a single weekend of "leaderless" encounter groups might produce. The training effected significant changes demonstrable a year later. (Author)

Clients enrolled in drug programs tend to be young, counter-culture, or ethnic minority individuals. Describes efforts of a non-opiate drug treatment program to reach middle American drug misusers. Attempts included television public service messages and newspaper articles. This campaign was not cost-effective for attracting clients. (Author)

A sample of 152 change agents were given 24 diagnostic questions they might ask the client organization, questions related to the change agents' cognitive styles and the tactics most likely used by the change agents to bring about organizational and/or individual change. Conclusions are compared with previous research findings. (Author)

Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard WAIS administration; a praise condition with praise for each correct WAIS response; and a self-monitoring condition with direct feedback on response accuracy. Results indicated that specific feedback is effective in inducing IQ test performance change in normal adults. (NG)
