A series of comments, corrections, and errata are presented regarding homogeniety of regression (see also EJ 001 198). (CK)

Quantitative methods for research synthesis usually involve calculation of an estimate of effect size for each of a series of studies. Some problems associated with ad hoc methods of analysis, such as ordinary least squares regression analysis using estimates of effect size, are described. (Author/JKS)

Suggests a critical methodological flaw in a study done about the relationship between the Bem Sex-Role Inventory and certain indices of self-disclosure (Stokes, et al.). Notes that multiple regression analysis was not performed in appropriate hierarchical fashion. Includes Stokes reply to the critique. (PAS)

Eight formula-based estimates of population squared cross-validity and nine estimates of factor scores were compared with estimates from the conventional cross-validation procedure. Burket's and Rozeboom's formula-based estimates of population squared cross-validity in combination with a factor score method offer the most for practitioners…

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised Full Scale IQ did not yield valid predictions of achievement of educable mentally handicapped students in a public school setting, as measured by the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT). (Author/CM)

A diagram is used to aid discussion of how several of the frequently used multivariate statistical techniques are interrelated. All of those discussed can be regarded as special cases of canonical correlation. (Author)

When either regression models or subjectively-weighted models are used as aids in making placement decisions, the discriminant validity of these models is questioned. The validity of several regression models and of subjectively weighted models was investigated in two experiments. (Author/JKS)

Reviews contingency and universalistic theoretical rationales linking satisfaction and conflict to organic and mechanistic styles of structure and control. Results indicate that contingency variables are frequently as good as, or even better than, universalistic variables as predictors of satisfaction and conflict. (Author/IRT)

Explains how the statistical technique of multiple regression allows a sophisticated, objective analysis of employee compensation with consideration given to the cumulative effects and interaction of legitimate personnel considerations and to discriminatory variables. (Author/IRT)

The average tenure of academic department heads was found to be positively related to the level of paradigm development characterizing the department, negatively related to departmental size, and related to interactions of the level of paradigm development with the seniority mix of the faculty and with the departmental size. (Author/IRT)

A statistical technique designed to highlight the contributions of two continuous predictor variables to a continuous criterion variable is described. The technique involves selecting subpopulations, called pockets, via regression techniques. An example using cognitive styles to predict performance on problem-solving tasks is discussed.…

The paper cites difficulties in aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) research which investigates relationships between test performance and the extent of profiting from instruction. Two methods for ATI research (regression analysis and analysis of variance) are described, assumptions and potential mininterpretations are noted, and correct…

Actuarial models of judgment provide an effective tool with which to model curriculum preferences on the basis of choices. (MM)

Tests a model intended to help account for the prevalence of questionnaire methodologies among doctoral students in educational administration. Several attributes of students and their doctoral programs are advanced as promoting these methods. (Author/IRT)
