The Altus Information Inventory was group-administered to high school and college students to assess its objectivity, reliability, and predictive and concurrent validity. Inter-scorer reliability was .97 for the high school Ss and .83 for the college Ss. The corrected split-half (odd-even) reliability was .76 for the high school Ss but only .28 for the college Ss. The predictive validity of the test with grade point averages was .50 for high school males, .64 for high school females, and .22 for college males. Good concurrent validity was indicated by correlations with measures of verbal aptitude for high school students. The Inventory was too easy for college students and had low predictive and concurrent validity for them.

School Graduation

To study the predictive validity of the Career Decision Scale adapted for high school students, the scale was administered to 205 seniors in a suburban Chicago high school in the spring of the senior year. Two years later, students were surveyed by telephone about their career decisions. Two of the three factor scores on the adapted Career Decision Scale taken during the senior year contributed to the discriminant function that resulted in 85% correct classification of students remaining either decided or undecided two years after high school graduation.

Parent Program

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
