The author suggests that it is more efficient to cluster subjects on the basis of their profiles across several dimensions of significance and to seek "between" subgroup correlates, than to search for a moderator variable "within" levels of which criterion relationships may vary in nonrandom fashion.

Purpose of this investigation was to determine whether the inclusion of quadratic and/or interaction terms in a regression model would improve the prediction of student nurses' grade point averages. (Authors)

Expressions for the expected value, density, and distribution function (DF) of GS (gain from selection) are derived and studied in terms of sample size, number of predictors, and the prior distribution assigned to the population multiple correlation. (Author/RK)

To individualize instruction in reading, a system of diagnostic measures must be used to establish needs areas. Author examines a number of such measures and proposes subsequent study culminating in a Predictive Index. (Editor/MB)

Preliminary factor analyses of predictor tests in advantaged and disadvantaged groups is recommended as a way of forming a priori expectations concerning validities of the predictors to guide both use and research. (Authors)

The paper states and proves three propositions regarding the usefulness of the ITED (Iowa Tests of Educational Development) in preparing adult basic education students to take the GED tests. The first proposition, that the ITED can be a useful practice test for GED candidates, is supported by the fact that the ITED tests are designed to measure…

Measures of student adjustment constituted the strongest predictor of language achievement. (Authors)

Three studies of prediction of academic achievement in introductory psychology courses are reported. The Achiever Personality scale of Fricke's Opinion, Attitude and Interest Survey and Brown and Holtzman's Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes made independent contributions beyond intelligence in the prediction of course grades in two of these…

Study was designed to examine the validity of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire in predicting achievement of college sophomores majoring in Education. (Authors)

Study was designed to assess more fully the relative importance of ability and personality variables in the prediction of school achievement in a variety of areas. (Authors)

Factors seem to indicate that the OQS could be effectively substituted for the NTE as a screening measure for graduate students in education. The D-48 was not added to the prediction equation, since it made a negligible contribution to the total prediction. (Authors/CB)

Results of this study indicate that an English proficiency test such as TOEFL may raise the validity of the GRE aptitude tests in predicting foreign students' graduate school GPA. (Author)

Specific aim of the study was to determine the predictive accuracy of selected observations obtained during developmental periods on later developmental outcome. (Authors)
