College Grades

This study was designed to test the predictive validity of the U. S. Army's GT score with college course grades as the criterion measure. The 59 Ss had completed 196 college courses. The relationship between the GT score and grades earned was found to be significant.

The Relationship

This study used three measures of death anxiety to investigate the effectiveness of group systematic desensitization in reducing death anxiety in high death anxious participants. Results revealed that desensitization was superior to both a relaxation and test-retest group in reducing death anxiety when the revised Livingston and Zimet DAS was the criterion measure. Mixed results were obtained when either the Templer DAS or Feifel and Branscomb's CWIT was the criterion measure. Discussion focused on possible reasons for these results and the need for additional investigation regarding both the use of group desensitization and the relationship among the three measures of death anxiety.

The Relationship

This study explores the relationship between course grades and sequenced library instruction interventions throughout psychology students’ curriculum. Researchers conducted this study to inform decisions about sustaining and improving program integrations for first- and second-year composition courses and to improve discipline-level integrations. Researchers began with transcript analysis but soon incorporated student surveys and a faculty focus group to supplement the data and influence future directions. Findings confirmed that students benefit from meaningful collaborations with the library at strategic, sequenced points in their curriculum, including at the discipline level. This research also provided concrete information that brought about change at the classroom and programmatic level.

The Relationship

The relationship between both the quantity and perceived quality of social support and suicidal risk was examined in a sample of 50 adolescents whose ages ranged from 16 to 20 years. A multiple regression analysis was performed, using scores from Cull and Gill's 1983 Suicide Probability Scale as the criterion measure along with the predictor variables of quantity and quality of experienced social support as measured by the 1983 Social Support Questionnaire of Sarason, Levine, Basham, and Sarason. Analysis showed the social support variables accounted for over 52% of the variance in suicide potential. The greatest proportion of the variance in suicide risk was attributable to the quality of the perceived social support. Adolescents at greater risk for suicide were significantly less satisfied with the quality of their social support.
