Comparative Validities and Testing Times for Composites of Structure-of-Intellect Tests and Previous Mathematics Grades with Composites of Traditional Standardized Test Measures and Previous Mathematics Grades in Prediction of Success in High School Modern Algebra
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Holly, Keith A.; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1973
The Structure-of-Intellect Tests are shown to represent promising alternatives to the traditional commercial standardized tests now widely used in predicting success in modern algebra. (Author/NE)

The Long-Term Comparative Predictive Validities of Standardized Measures of Achievement and Academic Self-Concept for a Sample of Secondary School Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Darakjian, Gregory P.; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
Comparative predictive validities of 147 secondary school students were examined for six subtests of the SRA Assessment Survey and for five subscales of the Dimensions of Self-Concept relative to overall/grade point average (GPA) earned and to GPA achieved in English and mathematics courses.

A Comparison of the Relative Validity of a Measure of Piagetian Cognitive Development and a Set of Conventional Prognostic Measures in the Prediction of the Future Success of Ninth- and Tenth-Grade Students in Algebra.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloland, Ruth Marian; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
This study compared the validity of chronological age, a standardized algebra prognosis test, standardized verbal and quantitative scales derived from an achievement test battery, and an objective measure of formal or concrete stages of Piagetian cognitive development for predicting final examination scores and course grades in high school…

The Interrelationships of Four Measures Hypothesized to Represent the Field Dependence-Field Independence Construct.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swyter, LaVonne J.; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
The hypothesis that four measures selected to represent the field dependence-independence construct would be positively intercorrelated was supported by the presence of statistically significant positive correlation coefficients in the total sample as well as in the subgroups differentiated by ethnicity, intelligence level, and sex.

A Comparison of the Orthogonal and the Oblique Factor Structures of Correlation Matrixes of Individual Items and of Composites of Items (Subtests) Derived from a Standardized Affective Measure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Michael, William B.; Bachelor, Patricia – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1988
Analysis of data from standard affective measures showed both an orthogonally rotated and an obliquely rotated factor solution yielded psychological dimensions that correspond to instrument's scales. Study Attitudes and Methods Survey was studied, using data on a total of 483 eleventh graders. Both solutions afforded comparable inferences about…
