This study investigated the relationship of parental education and maternal work and occupational status to the occupational aspirations of adolescent females. Significant association was found between occupational aspiration and father's education and between occupational aspiration and mother's occupational status (traditional or…

In an earlier article, Orden and Bradburn (1968) presented a model for the structure of marital happiness which consisted of two independent dimensions, one of marital satisfactions and the other of marital tensions. Further examination of their data suggests that their measures of satisfactions and tensions were only two of a larger number of…

Recent laboratory work has suggested a defensive attribution interpretation of the attribution of responsibility following an accident. A questionnaire was devised concerning a campus stabbing incident in which one girl suffered severe consequences. Results were compatible with defensive attribution. (Author)

Two experiments investigated the accuracy of naive observers' judgments of behavior change. Observers accurately and reliably detected the change in subjects' behavior across time; the provision of a diagnostic label did not affect the accuracy of the observations. Implications of these findings for the assessment of counseling outcome are…

The effects of modeling versus no modeling and modeling versus systematic training were examined in brief empathy training. Significant modeling and systematic training effects were demonstrated. Systematic training does not appear to represent a superior method of developing empathic response behavior when compared to the briefer modeled…

Identification of the types of supervised occupational experience (SOE) obtained by Iowa vocational agriculture students. A research project conducted at Iowa State University. (HD)

Forty Nebraska vocational agriculture teachers recorded the use of their time for one year. The time was recorded in 27 duty categories. Comparisons were made to determine whether selected factors made a difference in how agriculture teachers used their time. This article gives details of this study. (HD)

A program in rational-emotive education (REE) is compared for effectiveness with the Human Development Program (HDP) or Magic Circle. Results indicate REE can be taught to fifth and sixth grade children. (Author)

The cycle of student stress is identified and used to design a more suitable programming and helpful environment. (Author)

This five-year review of research on practicum supervision examines research findings and research designs. Modeling techniques have been used effectively in practicum, didactic approaches have been more effective than experiential approaches, and audio-tape procedures in training were as effective as videotape techniques.

Treatment, counselor, and client variables were examined for effects on client satisfaction and career information in a comparative study with college clients. Clients working with males had the highest information scores. Clients indicated most satisfaction with female helpers, professional counselors, and test interpretation treatments. Average…

This article reports on the utility of sociometrics for the teacher, particularly in determining who will not reject a generally rejected classmate. A study on teachers' ability to predict such students indicated teachers were not very good at predicting either rejectees, or accepting students. Implications and suggestions are discussed. (NG)

The distribution of major choices of the students in college living units, as determined by the Holland (1973) typology, was related to the characteristics of the social environments of the living units. The results supported Holland's theory in that these two sets of variables were predictably related. (Author)

This paper examines student attitudes towards academic women. University students (N=181) evaluated professors in terms of 21 semantic differential scales and an occupational prestige ranking instrument. Female professors were perceived as more competent than male instructors in both task and socio-emotional competence. Males were not assigned a…
