The Independent School Experience: Aspects of the Normative Environments of Single-Sex and Coed Secondary Schools.
Trickett, Edison J.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n3 p374-81 Jun 1982
The normative environments of single-sex independent schools were found to be more academic, with greater task and competition orientation, than coeducational independent schools. Representative independent schools were compared to each other and to public schools with a discussion of learning involvement, function, purpose, and student and faculty selection differences.
