The study examined leadership in schools as interaction between principals and teachers. The leadership process was conceptualized as the exercise of influence. The concept of ascriptive status was utilized to describe women as atypical and men as typical principals. Teachers responded to protocols depicting leader influence and cultural status.…

The main purpose of the research reported in this document was to discover whether controlled experiments can be conducted on the relations between people and the complex computing systems which they use. Three increasingly complex experiments were designed to test the effect of varying delays of computer response on the number of commands issues…

The Automatic Interaction Detector (AID 3) is used in a search for interaction effects between absence from school and location from school, school size, location of home, age, sex, position in family and socio-economic status among a national sample of Irish primary school children. (Editor)

In addition to reviewing available procedures for interpreting interaction effects in ANOVA designs, this research develops procedures for estimating the magnitude of simple main or interaction effect variance components relative to the total variance accounted for by simple effect profiles.

A model's influence on the creative behavior of 120 fifth-grade children was studied in four variations. (Author)

The verbal interaction of 31 middle-class early adolescent boys and their parents was analyzed to provide information about the impact of the onset of puberty and formal operational thinking on relationships in the family system. (Author/MP)

Reports a study of 540 first-, fourth-, and eighth-grade students who participated in a discrimination task under three reinforcement conditions: reward, punishment and a combination of both. Results indicate the superiority of learning under punishment conditions. Interactions involving the sex of subject and experimenter are also discussed.…

Ninety-six female introductory psychology students differing in terms of the dimensions of neuroticism-stability and introversion-extraversion performed two sets of thirty trials each on a choice reaction time task. On one of the sets of trials the Ss were observed by two female observers and on the other set of trials the observers were not…

Research examined three independent variables: type of reinforcement given to examinee, sex of examinee, and sex of reinforcer. (Author/MB)

Study investigated the effects of inconsistency of instructions, order of presentation of instructions, and sex of child upon children's behavior in a resistance-to-temptation situation. (Author)

This research examines one aspect of leader behavior and a personality characteristic of the subordinate, i.e. authoritarianism and how they relate to the attitudes and performance of the subordinate. (Author)

This study examined the effect of the gender specific aspects of a child's clothing and a child's sex on the type of interaction that occurred between the child and the teacher. A stratified random sample of second graders, including urban (n=104), suburban (n=77), and rural (n=49) districts, was used, drawing on two classes from each of six…

The generalizability theory approach to the estimation of reliability is outlined, and a design is developed in which systematic variations in behavior over differing situations are separated from random fluctuation. Three coefficients of reliability are proposed. (CK)
