This study found that data from previous research can be used to validate a new observational category system and that subscripting of the original ten categories of the Flanders Interaction Analysis System is useful in identifying more specific behaviors which correlate with student achievement. The new category system was the Expanded…

Lessing, Elise E.; And Others – 1972
The IPAT Children's Personality Questionnaire was administered to two samples of white, middle-class, suburban school children. Both samples were divided into well-adjusted and maladjusted subgroups on the basis of teacher ratings. The CPQ Neuroticism score and the teacher ratings of adjustment status yielded biserial correlations of .12 and .22,…

Fincher, Cameron – 1973
To find an acceptable way of reducing testing time without altering the administrative use of admissions tests, a study was conducted to test the prediction that scores on subtests of the General Achievement Tests (GAT) in Social Studies, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics could be used to predict the total test score. All answer sheets for 1000…

Murrow, Wayne – 1972
The purpose of this study was to generate descriptive statistical estimates regarding the expected proportion of occurrence of each of the PROANA 5 (Process Analysis) variables (line usage, clique group, detrimental clique group, leadership, and dominance) in small group communication. A second purpose was to determine the expected pattern of…

Levin, Bernard H.; And Others – 1976
This paper reports the results of a study conducted to examine the predictive validity of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) in the Virginia Community College System. Subjects were students at Blue Ridge Community College enrolled in English 101, 102, 111, 112, and Psychology 201, 202, or 203 during one academic year. The NDRT (Form A) was…

Mardell, Carol; Goldenberg, Dorothea S. – 1976
Described is the development and revision over a 3-year period of the Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning (DIAL), a screening test to identify pre-kindergarten children with learning disabilities. The DIAL is said to provide for gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, and communications assessment of large groups of children. Among…

Cronbach, Lee J.; And Others – 1976
The unbiased estimate of a "treatment effect" reached by analysis of covariance in a nonrandomized experiment would often require that a different covariate be used in each treatment. A sufficient but unlikely condition for an unbiased estimate is that the covariate for each treatment is (1) the complete covariate that predicts the outcome as…

Carlson, Alfred B.
A factor analysis of the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) battery was undertaken to gain a better understanding of the specific abilities which contribute to performance on the tests. To determine whether greater amounts of testing time should be allocated to groups of items defined by the factor analysis, a validity study was conducted. Existing…

Nolan, Edwin J.
A correlational study was conducted using ACT (American College Test) sub-test scores and actual grades earned in corresponding subject areas in order to determine if the ACT was an effective predictor for student's grades at Southern West Virginia Community College (SWVCC). Study subjects were all students (n= 241) who had ACT test scores on file…

Peer reviewedDavis, G. Lindsey; And Others – Research in Higher Education, 1976
A study of the predictive validity of selected admissions variables used by the University of Kentucky College of Medicine (Medical College Admissions Test subscores, undergraduate science grade point average (USGA), age, and Otis Test of Mental Ability) revealed the predictive validity of USGA and the MCAT quantitative subscore.

Peer reviewedDean, Raymond S. – Journal of School Psychology, 1979
The reliability and predictive validity of the WISC-R was investigated with 46 Mexican-American children. Approximately a year and a half after the administration of the WISC-R, scores on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills were collected. Results indicated that the WISC-R meets minimum requirements of reliability and predictive validity with…

Methods of Smoothing Double-Entry Expectancy Tables Applied to the Prediction of Success in College.
Peer reviewedKolen, Michael J.; Whitney, Douglas R. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1978
Nine methods of smoothing double-entry expectancy tables (tables that relate two predictor variables to probability of attaining success on a criterion) were compared using data for entering students at 85 colleges and universities. The smoothed tables were more accurate than those based on observed relative frequencies. (Author/CTM)

Peer reviewedSweillam, Attia; Tardiff, Kenneth – Administration in Mental Health, 1978
This study sought to develop and test a method for predicting inpatient utilization in the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene. A Markov chain mathematical model was developed and tested ex post facto for its accuracy in prediction of inpatient workload by age groups for two successive fiscal years. (Author)

Peer reviewedFazio, Russell H.; Zanna Mark P. – Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 1978
A study was conducted to examine the relation between each of several attitudinal qualities and attitude-behavior consistency. Attitude-behavior consistency was significantly related to the amount of direct experience upon which the subject's attitude was based, the degree of certainty with which the attitude was held, and how well-defined the…
