To assess the relationship between pre-selection criteria, academic grades, and fieldwork performance, 45 basic master's occupational therapy students who graduated from New York University between October 1974 and October 1977 were selected. The students' undergraduate and occupational therapy records were reviewed for undergraduate grade point averages (GPA), prerequisites, major, occupational therapy grades, and Field Work Performance Report scores (FWPR). The results indicated that undergraduate GPA and occupational therapy GPA correlated with both psychosocial dysfunction and physical disability FWPR scores. However, a student's participation in a Fieldwork I experience was unrelated to the score received on the FWPR for a Fieldwork II experience. Discussion also focused on the limited usefulness of the FWPR as an evaluative tool since the mean scores were very high and its variability was rather low.
One hundred four beginning occupational therapy students who entered New York University during a three-yearperiod, completed the Rokeach Value Survey, The Rokeach Value Survey consists oftwo lists of 18 values each, the first reflecting desirable end-states ofexistence (terminal values) and the other setting forth preferred modes ofconduct (instrumental values). Statistical comparison ofjuniors (n = 56) andfirstyear master's students (n = 48) revealed few differences.
This article is a survey of institutional affiliations of authors of articles published in Volumes 9 through 20 of the Journal of Counseling Psychology. Trends are reported within this 12-year period, and comparisons are made with earlier surveys by Goodstein and by Bohn.The Journal of Counseling Psychology, as a major publication medium for counseling psychology, can be used to assess certain characteristics of this field. Several investigators have employed the Journal in this way in studies that also have provided information about the Journal itself. Thus, Wrenn (1960, 1966) reviewed the history of the Journal, presented evidence of its significance, and provided a topical analysis of articles. Foreman (1966) performed a later analysis of the articles published in the Journal and other selected periodicals. Robinson (1970) illustrated the Journal's growth with annual figures on number of manuscripts submitted, rejection rate, and pages published. Goodstein (1963) and Bohn (1966) studied the institutional affiliations of authors of Journal articles in Volumes 1-8 and Volumes 9-12, respectively, to determine some of the influences on the development of this publication and to identify major centers of research and scholarship in counseling psychology. Studies also have been made of other characteristics of Journal authors, including graduate schools attended (Walsh, Feeney, & Resnick, 1969) and work settings, primary interests, and membership in the American Psychological Association and its divisions (American Psychological Association, 1964). Myers and DeLevie (1966) and Hall (1967) have identified the authors who have
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
