should, in principle, be possible to investigate the influence of these subjective variables on saving, in the same way as the influence of the "objective" rate of interest on saving can be studied. A similar study could presumably be made of the effects of variations in perceived "disutility of postponed consumption." J. M. Keynes Keynes introduced new ideas concerning the determinants of saving. One of his changes in the classical theory is the assumption that the behavior of the consumer unit is not to any great extent influenced by changes in interest rates within an economically plausible field of variation. Furthermore, the value of saving per se is stressed to a considerably greater extent. The idea that saving is motivated only by the explicit planning of future (postponed) consumption is replaced by a whole series of possible reasons for the "utility" of saving. 3 The most important feature of Keynes's theory of consumer behavior 2 This description of classical economic theories is, of course, extremely abridged and simplified. See Gardner Ackley [1] and D. B. Suits [266] for a more detailed summary of the basic ideas in the theories. Werner Paschke has presented [220] an extensive review of the various saving motives and mechanisms postulated by economic thinkers from Xenophon to the present. 3 This list of reasons as to why saving may be attractive has frequently been criticized as arbitrary and based on introspection. See R. Schroder [244]. Ways of Describing the Individual Saving Process 5 is, however, the thesis that the extent of saving, at least in the short run, is more or less completely determined by the size of real income. This idea has given rise to a multitude of empirical studies aimed at investigating the correctness of the thesis (Robert Ferber [63]). Keynes's hypothesis about the way in which income is related to consumption and saving is expressed primarily in the "fundamental psychological law" which he postulated. hardly described the model which underlies his work explicitly and in detail. The following description which must, therefore, be regarded as 6 Psychological Approaches to the Study of Saving somewhat tentative is based primarily on Katona's book, The Powerful Consumer ([119], especially Ch. 4), and on F. M. Nicosia's interpretation [210] of Katona's model. Consumer behavior, according to Katona, is a function of economic stimuli of different types and of intervening variables within the individual, '

THE widespread use of suggestion plans and the voluminous descriptive and hortative literature on their form, installation, and operation show both that the potential value of employee suggestions is well recognized and that the success of such plans is not automatic. Some of the factors affecting the functioning of suggestion plans are doubtless plantwide and can therefore best be studied by cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons of entire plants. Studies using largely this approach have been published by Dickinson (1932) and Holmes (1952). Suggestion behavior differs not only from plant to plant, however, but also among employees eligible to participate in a common scheme within a single plant. It is often found that a minority of eligible employees account for a majority of the suggestions submitted and awards received in a plant and that some persons make suggestions and receive awards very frequently. The large interpersonal differences in suggestion behavior probably result not only from differential exposure to inefficient working methods and conditions and from random incidence of ideas, but also from differential ability and motivation to create and present improvement ideas appropriate to the situation.Interpersonal comparisons within a plant constitute a second and complementary method of obtaining information on the reasons for success and failure of suggestion schemes. They have also not been used extensively. In fact, published findings on interpersonal differences in suggestion behavior are frag-'This study was supported by the School of Labor and Industrial Relations a t Michigan State University.

The Inventory of Documented Accomplishments for Graduate Admissions: Results of a Field Trial Study of Its Reliability, Short‐term Correlates, and Evaluation

This is the report of the third phase of a multi‐phase project designed to develop an inventory of documented accomplishments for graduate student selection. The material developed in earlier stages was pilot‐tested in Phase Three in 26 departments that represented the fields of English, biology, and psychology. The major purpose of this study was to investigate the instrument developed in Stage Two in terms of: 1) technical soundness, and 2) the feasibility of its use in the admissions process. This study represents the transition of the use of documented accomplishments to predict graduate school achievement from a research phase to a more operational phase during which the instrument would be tested in actual admissions situations. The departments were asked to administer the instrument to their newly enrolled graduate students. Straightforward descriptive and correlational analyses of the responses to the inventory were conducted to: (1) describe characteristics of the students and the instruments; and (2) identify the most reliable clusters of items and indices of accomplishment. Students were followed up at the end of their first year to assess their graduate school accomplishments and their relationship to previous attainments. This information provided data for analyses of the short‐term correlates of the measures. In addition, faculty were interviewed to determine the plausibility of the content of the instrument and the most accurate and operationally simple instructions and reporting formats. Students' reactions to the inventory were obtained by interview and by additional questions at the end of the inventory.
