Description
Summary:
Data from the National Longitudinal Study of the Class of 1972 were analyzed to determine the relationship between student achievement and self-attitudes. Indices of background and repeated measures of achievement and self-attitudes are available for 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976 on 4,628 subjects as they moved through their undergraduate years. To isolate the achievement/attitude relationship, a two-stage controlled-entry hierarchical multiple regression equation was generated for each of the 4 years. With achievement as the criterion variable, background variables were entered as the first stage and attitudes as the second stage. The increments of change in the squared multiple correlations from the first stage to the second stage for each of the 4 years indicated that the achievement/attitude relationship sustains over time with shared variance percentages in the 1.20 to 1.67 range after background is controlled.
