Physical Education Majors

This study concerned the effects of treatment and sex of subject on the qualitative analysis of skill of undergraduate physical education majors. 29 majors in undergraduate physical education were randomly assigned to two groups, who viewed a pretest tape and a posttest tape together but were separated for instructional treatment. The instructional tapes covered throwing, catching, and striking skills and differed only in the information presented. One instructional tape showed examples of good and bad skill while the other showed only examples of good skill. Using the Group Embedded Figures Test as a covariate, a three-way (sex by treatment by tests) analysis of variance yielded a significant main effect for tests and an interaction of tests by treatment. Posttest means for both groups were superior to pretest means, and good examples gave higher means than good and bad examples. No effect was found for sex of subjects or the other interactions.

Perceptual Style

This study examined the effects of videotaped instruction and perceptual style on 98 undergraduate elementary education majors' (77 women, 21 men) ability to learn to analyze movement by children. Scores from the Group Embedded Figures Test were used to stratify the subjects by quartiles. Students from each of the quartiles were randomly assigned to either the instruction or the control group. All subjects viewed a pre- and posttest and were separated for treatment. The instructed group watched a videotape of children throwing, catching, and striking while the control group did unrelated activity. A three-way analysis of variance gave significant effects for treatment, tests and the interactions of perceptual style and treatment and of tests and treatment. Instruction was superior to no instruction. The third quartile scorers in the instructed group had higher scores at posttest than those from the third quartile in the control group.

Physical Education Majors

Two groups of 17 Ss, one highly competitive and the other average, were selected from 46 women physical education majors. Both groups were given 4 tests which yielded scores for 16 psychological variables, and the Humiston Motor Ability Test. No differences were found between the groups on personality or motivation. However, the good competitors were significantly higher in motor ability than the average competitors

The One

To study the function of personality variables in the perception of other people, 52 undergraduate males were administered the Philosophies of Human Nature Scale and the Embedded-figures Test. Relatively low but significant positive correlations were found between field independence and trustworthiness, altruism, and the positive view of human nature. There was no significant correlation between field independence and strength of will, independence, complexity, and variability. Apparently, the personality of the one perceiving is relevant to what is perceived in the other person.

Physical Education Majors

Learning styles of dance and physical education majors were described and compared. Subjects were 167 declared majors in 1982 from 9 universities (87 PE, 80 dance; 44 males, 115 females). Kolb's Learning Style Inventory which measures abstractness or concreteness and activity or reflectivity was given. By t test (.05) no significant differences in preferred learning style were found between majors or genders.

Selection Of

This study examined the personality characteristics of physical education and recreation majors, and ascertained why some students choose one over the other. Forty-nine physical education and recreation majors were administered Holland's Self-directed Search. A 2 × 3 fixed-factorial design was employed, sex and major plus a control group were independent variables. Both 24 recreation and 25 physical education majors were alike in the personality profiles and were very similar to recreation and physical education professionals already in the field. Significant differences were found on secondary, less dominant characteristics which may contribute to selection of a specialization area.
