- Creator

Greiser, Maurine S., Florida State University
- Abstract/Description
-
"This study is designed to determine if the Bell Adjustment Inventory is a more accurate device than the Minnesota Personality Scale for measuring adjustment of college freshmen. If the Bell Inventory correlates more highly than the Minnesota Personality Scale with a majority of the scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, it would indicate that the Bell Inventory measures poor adjustment resulting from personality problems as measured by the MMPI more accurately than does...

The Department of Mathematics of the Florida State University gives a mathematics placement test to each entering freshman. This study examines relationships between the scores attained on the mathematics placement test, other tests measuring ability and achievement, and academic success as reflected by grades earned in University classes.

The sample for this study is composed of the students who took the placement test as first-time freshmen in the 1953 summer session, the 1953 fall semester, and the 1954 spring semester. This group was selected because its members have had time to complete a four-year program leading to the baccalaureate degree.

"Since 'religious adjustment is part of the person's total adjustment,' the writer believes that an investigation of the nature of the religious problems which trouble college students might be of some value to those who are concerned with the satisfactory life relationships of undergraduates. The writer also believes that a knowledge of the sources which students seek for help with their religious problems might contribute to a better understanding of students as they attempt to adjust to...

The writer also believes that a knowledge of the sources which students seek for help with their religious problems might contribute to a better understanding of students as they attempt to adjust to encountered difficulties. Consequently, the present investigation was undertaken to discover the nature of the religious problems of undergraduate students at Florida State University and to determine the sources sought by students for help with such problems. No attempt was made to find the cause of any problem nor the reason for the absence of problems. No evaluation of the effectiveness of the counseling which students indicated they had received was attempted"--Introduction.

In recent years, and particularly during the last decade, the student bodies of American colleges and universities have greatly increased in size and have become much more heterogeneous with respect to scholastic ability and general motivation to succeed. These changes have occurred chiefly because veterans' aid as well as improved economic conditions throughout the country have permitted a much greater number of students to enter college than ever before. But how many of these students are...
Show moreIn recent years, and particularly during the last decade, the student bodies of American colleges and universities have greatly increased in size and have become much more heterogeneous with respect to scholastic ability and general motivation to succeed. These changes have occurred chiefly because veterans' aid as well as improved economic conditions throughout the country have permitted a much greater number of students to enter college than ever before. But how many of these students are actually successful in their college education? President Archibald of Haverford College made a survey of the 655 liberal arts colleges throughout the United States. He found that of the thousands of students who entered college each year more than half dropped out before graduation. Most of these dropped out during their freshman year. The students needed guidance especially during their freshman year. The purpose of the present study was to investigate certain characteristics of freshmen students at Florida State University who obtained scores at or below the 20th percentile of the American Council of Education Psychological Examination. These students were chosen from those who entered Florida State University in Septemenber 1951, and to whom the examination was given at the time of entrance.

Earle, William S., Murray, Stewart, Florida State University
- Abstract/Description
-
There is a general lack of evaluations of college counseling programs. This is attributed to difficulties encountered in attempts to undertake evaluation, one source of difficulty being the uniqueness of the couseling problem of each student. Nevertheless, leaders in the field of personnel work feel that there is a distinct need for evaluation and make an effort to encourage further research of this type.
