Based on the concepts of agency and communion set forth by Bakan (1966), this study includes two substudies to develop the agency and communion scale. Study 1 develops the scale through two groups of samples: one group was composed of 116 university college students and the other consisted of 118 technical college students. For further validation, in study 2 the agency and communion scale, self-esteem scale and interpersonal quality scale were completed by 190 students. The agency and communion scale covering 16 items was developed at last and this scale had reliable cross-sample analysis and good construct validity. This scale can be used to assess the basic components of the personality. The basic components of the personality will need further exploration and advanced studies in the future.

The purposes of the study were to examine technical college students’ hospitality English vocabulary learning performance and motivation. The subjects were 93 students from a technical college in southern Taiwan. The instruments included one questionnaire called ARCS questionnaire consisting of four factors about learning motivation on hospitality English vocabulary and one English test called Professional Vocabulary Quotient Credential (PVQC) on hospitality. The subjects accepted a 40-hour hospitality English vocabulary training course. Then, 93 subjects took a 50-minute PVQC test and 10-minute ARCS questionnaire in December, 2015. The researchers collected the data from the questionnaire and PVQC test and analyzed the data by descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results revealed that most of the subjects liked to learn hospitality English vocabulary, and found that learning hospitality English vocabulary was important for them, and most of them reported that English was associated with salary and promotion in the future; however, most of them spent little time learning English after school. The results also showed that some learning motivation factors had effects on hospitality English vocabulary learning performance, like being treated and assessed by teachers equally, getting recognition, or being willing to work hard. Finally, the researchers drew a conclusion based on the results and provided some teaching and research implications for the future.

The aim of the study is to examine the factors that influence technical college students to choose English-learning websites. The subjects were 165 students from a technical college in Southern Taiwan. The instrument was a questionnaire with three factors about choosing English-learning websites. One hundred sixty-five subjects completed a 10-minute questionnaire about English-learning websites in March 2017. The researchers collected the data from the questionnaire and analyzed the data using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results revealed that most subjects stated that they liked to learn English, but went online to learn English less than one hour per week, and most subjects agreed that learning English online was helpful and English was important for their work and academy. The results also showed that most subjects believed English was related to a higher salary and future promotions, and they planned to improve their English. In addition, the results indicated that the subjects paid more attention to the practicality and convenience of an English-learning website than to the enjoyment of it. In this paper, the researchers draw conclusions and discuss the teaching and research implications for the future.

The Way

High, neutral, and low self-esteem were induced in college students who then took part in a mixed motive game. It was hypothesized that induced low self-esteem would result in highly competitive behavior. This prediction was confirmed for the first trial block of 10 trials but no difference in competitive behavior among the 3 groups was observed during the second through fifth trial blocks. The results were discussed in terms of the success of the induction of level of self-esteem, the perceived strategy of the other player, and the way in which the perceived strategy might interact with chronic and induced levels of self-esteem.

Abstract The present study sought to identify predictors associated with paid employment outcomes for community and technical college students with intellectual disability (ID). Data used were collected from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students With Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) implemented in two community and technical colleges in the upper Midwest. The participants included 228 students with ID attending college who received supports based on the Check & Connect model. Results using logistic regression showed that students who only took inclusive classes, participated in campus events, had prior paid work experience, and participated in volunteering and/or community service were more likely to earn at or above minimum wage during their most recent year in the TPSID program. Implications for policy and practice are discussed.
