An Empirical Study of the Zajonc-Markus Hypothesis for Achievement Test Score Declines.
Melican, Gerald J.; Feldt, Leonard S.
American Educational Research Journal, v17 n1 p5-19 Spr 1980
Zajonc has proposed that the decline in high school achievement since 1965 can be explained by the trend from 1947 to 1962 toward larger, closer-spaced families. This study tested this theory with data on students in Iowa high schools. Overall, the results raise doubt about this hypothesis. (Author/CTM)
