Presents a scale of thirteen positive and seven negative statements designed to measure attitudes of teachers toward behavior modification. Results of the item analysis indicate that the individual statements discriminate very effectively between high and low-scoring groups. (Author/PC)

It is likely that differential training and role expectations of these two groups have contributed to the stability of their different attitudes toward behavior and mental health. (Author/PC)

Two alternative explanations for early defection of female counseling clients were tested. Greater satisfaction with nondirective interviewing by females more likely to defect was found, which favored the catharsis alternative. (Author)
