The Association of Self-Monitoring with Self-Disclosure

While there are many studies of self-monitoring and self-disclosure independently, few studies have looked at their relationship. Such inquiry may help refine the definitions of these two complex constructs as well as clarify how interpersonal relationships are formed. For 100 undergraduate students at a small liberal arts college a small but significant negative correlation ( r = −.20) was found between scores on the Self-monitoring Scale and Self-disclosure Index. The men had significantly higher self-monitoring scores than the women, but not on self-disclosure.

Students Attitudes

Students' attitudes toward women and changes in those attitudes after taking a women's studies course were studied. The Spence Attitude Toward Women Scale was administered to 354 undergraduate students at two mid-western institutions. Matched pre- and posttests were obtained for 176 students. Results showed that attitudes toward women became more liberal after taking a women's studies course ( p < .001); also that attitudes were initially more liberal at an affluent liberal arts college than at a regional campus of a state university ( p < .001).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors, who have expertise in acoustics, optics, and astrophysics, decided to pivot from the experimental components of their research and focus instead on computational studies. Many of their usual research practices were adapted, creating new techniques to optimize the remote research experience for their undergraduate students.

Recovery Program

A decade ago (1996), the Orchid Recovery Program was established at Illinois College – a private liberal arts college – to promote the conservation of rare orchids through propagation. The school’s rural loca- tion, small size (1,000+ undergraduate students), and heavy teaching load (= 12 hours/semester) posed seri- ous challenges to the establishment of this research program. Nevertheless, over the years several aspects of the College were identified, targeted, and integrated to successfully blend the student academic experience with orchid conservation.

Items to measure learning strategies were extracted from students' written narratives about their study and learning habits. A resulting 79-item instrument was administered to 321 graduate and undergraduate students. From factor analysis of the correlation matrix four factors were identified: (I) reflective metacognition, (II) procedural metacognition, (III) rote memorization, and (IV) procrastination. There were significant positive correlations between GPA and Factors I and II and a significant negative correlation between Factor IV and GPA.

Manifest Anxiety

Witkin, et al. (6) hypothesized that field-dependent persons tend to have more poorly developed control and defense systems and to express greater anxiety than field-independent persons. Their research and that of Taylor and Spence (5) suggest that field dependency and manifest anxiety should interact when Ss learn perceptual-motor tasks which differ in difficulty. However, this was not confirmed by Dargel and Kirk (2) who tested 32 female Ss classified as high or low in anxiety on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (4) and as field-dependent or independent by the Hidden Figures Test (3). The present study determined relation of scores on the Hidden Figures Test and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and on the Hidden Figures Test and the Institute for Personality and Ability Testing Anxiety Scale Questionnaire, a measure of clinical anxiety (1) for 160 undergraduate students at a small liberal arts college. Ss took the tests on different days.

An attempt was made to study impact of Emotional Maturity on Stress among Undergraduate students. The sample of the study was selected by using the purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 150; participant’s age range was 18 to 20 years. Emotional Maturity Scale constructed by Yashvir Singh and Mahesh Bhargava (2005) and Stress questionnaire developed by Latha and Satish (1997), was used for data collection. The Simple Linear Regression was used to determine the Correlation as well as Coefficient between Emotional Maturity and Stress among undergraduate students. The findings of the study revealed that a significant impact of Emotional Maturity was found on Stress among undergraduate students. There was also found significant negative correlation between Emotional Maturity and Stress. The result revealed that, when emotional maturity increases stress decreases and when emotional maturity decreases stress increases.

Study Abroad Program

The present study examined the development of global citizenship traits in undergraduate students at a liberal arts college in Southern California. Two hundred and sixty-eight students participated in a survey that measured their global citizenship traits. Using a cross-sectional correlational design, the study examined the experience and development of the students as they strive to become global citizens. The results indicated that students face challenges and a sense of discomfort during study abroad, but their global citizenship traits tend to improve after return. Additionally, the study explored students’ perceptions of the curriculum, co-curricular activities, and campus life characteristics. The quantitative analyses suggested that the college’s mandatory study abroad program offers students an opportunity to seek their global citizenship identities.

Adaption-innovation is a construct of preferred problem-solving style; adaptors work best within clear guidelines and prefer to “do things better”, whereas innovators bridle at structure and prefer to “do things differently”. Adaption-innovation bears considerable putative similarity to self-monitoring and self-consciousness. In this study the relationships among these constructs were explored using the responses of 55 undergraduate students (48 females, 7 males) on the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI; Kirton, 1976), the Self- Monitoring Scale (Snyder & Gangestad, 1986) and the Self-Consciousness Scale (Fenigstein, Scheier, & Buss, 1975). Higher adaption-innovation scores were significantly and positively associated with higher self-monitoring scores and significantly and negatively associated with social anxiety scores. In addition, multiple regression analyses indicated that the facets of self-consciousness as well as self-monitoring significantly predicted adaption-innovation. The implications of examining cognitive style in relation to interpersonal attributes are discussed.

Psychometric materials for use in research on interpersonal exchange and self-disclosure included 671 statements about various aspects of the self which people might discuss as they form interpersonal relationships with others. Items were scaled for “intimacy” and topical category by judges from two different populations. From equal-appearing interval analysis were obtained intimacy scale values and Q-scores. Pearson product-moment correlations showed high agreement between the two populations. The validation of a priori category nomenclature indicated that placements of 497 out of 671 statements were agreed upon by at least 8 of 16 judges. An additional 20 statements were reliably categorized by judges in other than the originally assigned topic areas. Thus, there was reliable agreement among judges as to statement topic for 77% of the items. Advantages and suggested usages of the item pool were discussed.
