Kassiola, Joel J. – College Teaching, 2007
This article argues that the dominant invidious segmentation in American higher education between universities designated as "research" institutions and those relegated to "teaching" status is both erroneous and deleterious. Moreover, the trend of increasing research activities at master's institutions is not, as followers of the current…

As a basis for theories of psychopathology, clinical psychology and related disciplines need sound taxonomies that are generalizable across diverse populations. To test the generalizability of a statistically derived 8-syndrome taxonomic model for youth psychopathology, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were performed on the Youth Self-Report…
