The influence of students' efforts, school, teachers' expectations, sex, handicapped status, grade, teachers, and race on self-concept of handicapped and nonhandicapped children in mainstreamed physical education classes was investigated. A stepwise multiple regression indicated student expression of effort and school and teachers' expectation of…

Meta-analytic methods were used to synthesize research on the relationship between student ratings of instruction and student achievement. Results provide strong support for the validity of student ratings as measures of teaching effectiveness. (Author/GK)

A Monte Carlo experiment was used to evaluate four procedures for estimating the population squared cross-validity of a sample least squares regression equation. One estimator was particularly recommended. (Author/BH)

The author examines the results of public sector bargaining by comparing the wage history of police officers with that of senior clerk-typists in 63 cities in southeastern Michigan between 1965 and 1978. Ability to pay variables were analyzed. (Author/IRT)

Compares, within the context of parole decision making, the predictive utility of five statistical methods commonly used to develop correctional risk-screening devices. Results suggest that no apparent empirical advantage accrues to any particular model. Further, most devices developed are highly intercorrelated. (Author)

The use of multiple regression analysis was compared to the use of discriminant function analysis in the prediction of college faculty rank. The multiple regression technique was shown to be generally superior in this instance. (JKS)

The findings suggest that more effective schools, as perceived by teachers, are characterized by more participative organizational processes, less centralized decision-making structures, more formalized general rules, and more professional activity. (Author)

Four approaches to prediction of learning success are described and discussed: the two-point model and the technique of multiple regression; the learning test model; the contingency model and the technique of time-series analysis; and the causally defined multipoint model and the technique of path analysis.

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a test of the insufficient justification prediction of an interaction between behavioral commitment and sufficiency of justification influencing organizational attitudes in a field setting using data collected by others for other purposes.
