摘要:

AbstractTwo hundred twenty‐six experts on teacher stress and burnout were surveyed to determine the relevance of 49 teacher stress items to their overall concepts of teacher stress. Relevance ratings for all items fell within the relevant‐to‐quite‐relevant range, and all items were retained for inclusion in the Teacher Stress Inventory. The most relevant items dealt with feeling unable to cope and experiencing physical exhaustion; the least were related to student motivation problems. Overall, the experts were congruent to a significant degree in the way they rated the items. When the group was compared in terms of background variables, the younger respondents, those who present stress management workshops, and those who conduct qualitativeorquantitative stress research perceived some of the stress factors as being more relevant to teacher stress than did the older respondents, those not publishing, and those conducting combinations of qualitativeandquantitative stress r

摘要:

AbstractThe test‐retest stability of the Maternal Perinatal Scale (MPS) was examined for a random sample of 41 mothers. The stability of items over a two‐day period ranged from 1.00 to .85 (r) for items with an underlying normal distribution and from 1.00 to .86 (Cramer's V or Phi coefficient) for nominal items. Moreover, 90% of the coefficients exceeded .90. Intercorrelations between specific information assessed by the items were consistent with clinical obstetric and research evidence. The results were interpreted as lending support to the clinical and research potential of a systematic self‐report format in the assessment of perinatal hist

摘要:

AbstractOne hundred fourteen matched pairs of black and white children were compared in their performance on the Bracken Basic Concept Scale. It was found that the white children attained scores that were nearly identical with the national average, but the black children performed approximately one‐half standard deviation below their white counterparts. The black and white children exhibited similar patterns of performance on the BBCS subtests, suggesting a similar cognitive approach to the task

摘要:

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the similarity in the pattern of strengths and weaknesses between those students evaluated and placed in special education programs and those students evaluated and not placed in special education programs. The two groups were compared on the basis of 18 composite scale scores obtained from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children‐Revised (WISC‐R). The sample consisted of 585 students in grades 1–6 located in eastern Kentucky schools. A test for parallelism of the two profiles was conducted with a multiple‐profile analysis using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results revealed that the two profiles were parallel. The authors concluded that the two groups have a similar pattern of relative strengths and wea

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined the concurrent validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test‐Revised (PPVT‐R) and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K‐ABC) with 47 students referred for learning difficulties. A comparison of the correlations of each of the criterion measures from the K‐ABC global scales showed a more substantial relationship between the PPVT‐R standard score and the K‐ABC Achievement scale than with other K‐ABC scales. In an effort to further examine the relationship between the PPVT‐R and the K‐ABC, a stepwise multiple regression was calculated, with the standard scores of the K‐ABC global scales serving as the predictor variables of the PPVT‐R. This analysis indicated that the K‐ABC Achievement global scale was the only significant predictor of the PPVT‐R. Implications for pra

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined the usefulness of the Gesell Preschool Test (GPT), a developmental readiness test used by teachers and school psychologists to determine a child's readiness to begin formal instruction. Results of a discriminant analysis revealed that, after the effects of math and reading achievement had been accounted for, the GPT failed to contribute to the discrimination of 30 retained and 58 promoted kindergartners. Problems with the assessment and classification of immature children based on Gesell's developmental readiness concept are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractThe present study explored variation in individual personality characteristics, termed “hardiness,” among female elementary teachers who had differing levels of burnout despite high levels of occupational stress. One hundred thirty‐four female elementary teachers completed the Teaching Events Stress Inventory, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, The Allienation Test, and the Internal‐External Control Scale. Data also were collected on demographic variables, incidence of stress‐related physical and mental illness, and coping activities. Teachers with high stress and low burnout were less alienated than were teachers with high stress and high burnout. The low burnout teachers chose more active types of coping activities than did the high burnout teachers. Incidence of stress‐related physical illness was significantly correlated with level of stress, emotional exhaustion (burnout), and alienation. Implications for future research and school district interventions ar

摘要:

AbstractThis investigation examined the “earlier one starts an intervention, the better” hypothesis for handicapped preschoolers. Posttest performances of handicapped preschoolers on the Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI) and the Bayley Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) were evaluated in relation to the age at which the intervention began, the length of intervention, and Bayley pretest scores. Results indicated that age at start and length of treatment bore little relation to treatment outcomes. However, Bayley pretest scores correlated moderately with posttest scores. Possible explanations are discus
