摘要:

Summary.Three studies of prediction of academic achievement in introductory psychology courses are reported. The Achiever Personality scale of Fricke's Opinion, Attitude and Interest Survey and Brown and Holtzman's Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes made independent contributions beyond intelligence in the prediction of course grades in two studies. In a third study the Achievement via Independence scale of Gough's California Psychological Inventory was found to contribute to grade prediction.

摘要:

Summary.The Survey of Opinions about Education was administered to four groups of student teachers (N=240). In completing the questionnaire a second time subjects were asked to fake the responses in accordance with those of an ‘ideal’ student on the colleges' education courses. This resulted in increased mean Radicalism scores and decreased mean Tendermindedness Scores. A sex difference was evident in students' interpretation of faking the Naturalism scale. Otherwise sex and maturity of the student did not significantly affect the extent of the induced changes in respon

摘要:

Summary.From the West Indian immigrant children entering a city over a period of 16 months, those suspected by teachers as being possible slow learners were seen by a psychologist. The 14 who obtained Verbal WISC scores of less than 80 were retested after a period of about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years. A control group of non‐immigrant pupils of similar ability was reassessed after a similar period. In the case of every immigrant there was a rise in score, the mean rise being over 8 points of IQ. In the case of the control group the mean rise was 0·25. The difference between these means is significant. For the immigrants the test‐retest coefficient was 0·76. There was a significant positive correlation between score rise and time between

摘要:

Summary.This was a pilot study to test the effectiveness of a training procedure which it was hoped would increase students' awareness of the reader's requirements when writing descriptions of technological equipment. Pairs of students took turns at commenting on each other's descriptions. Some improvement occurred in performance on verbal items on the AH5 and in quality of written descriptions made by trained experimental subjects (N=26) compared with untrained controls (N=19).
