The feasability of using the College Qualification Test (CQT) to predict scores on the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is supported by a multiple regression analysis conducted among freshmen at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. (Author)

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)

A model is developed to test the relative importance of factors affecting the behavior of the employer and factors outside the employment context. (Editor)

Compares and contrasts different models of the relationship between integration levels and the varying racial composition of areas within the State of North Carolina using data collected in 1967-68. (JM)

The relationship between verbal reasoning ability on the one hand and sex, social class, family size, and ordinal position in the family on the other were examined for a representative sample of 11-year-old Irish children. (Authors)

First purpose of this study was to investigate empirically the accuracy of prediction using regression weights selected through the use of variance-reduction procedures. (Author)

On the basis of the findings it would appear that mathematics instructors should consider seriously the use of Structure-of-Intellect factor tests for selection and placement of students. (Authors)

A possible interpretation of the differential predictability across school systems as revealed in this study, is offered. (Authors/MB)

Describes a survey that collected information about perceived activity participation levels, health status, income, social supports, and life satisfaction of participants in a nutritional lunch program for the elderly. Results showed that perceptions of the above factors were significant predictors of life satisfaction. (NJ)

An adaptation of Egon Brunswik's lens-model methodology was used for evaluation of consumer judgments concerning overall effectiveness of a special education inservice training program for rural area handicapped preschool children and their families. (Author)

The purpose of this study was to determine the difficulty level, the internal consistency, and the usefulness of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) as a predictor of college freshmen grades. Adding the NDRT to a prediction equation already containing high school grade point average did improve the prediction. (Author/BW)

A general approach to analysis of covariance structures is considered, in which the variances and covariances or correlations of the observed variables are directly expressed in terms of the parameters of interest. The statistical problems of identification, estimation and testing of such covariance or correlation structures are discussed.…

A method for incorporating decline over time of the predictive validity of scores into mental test theory is presented. The procedure utilizes concepts from multiple regression and analysis of repeated measures. (JKS)

Identification, by regression analysis, of systematic salary discrimination against women faculty is possible and may suffice to induce institutions to make a commitment to an equitable salary structure. The uses of this analysis method and its results are discussed. (MSE)

A study dealing with administrative computer centers in four-year institutions of higher education in the United States is described. Organizational impact on management of computers, descriptive findings about the institutions used in the study, factor analysis of dependent variables, and multiple regression analysis are reviewed.
