“…We are not only deficient in information about personality characteristics of our own students prior to their student teaching experiences, but we are also woefully ignorant about relationships between conative levels and other variables such as teaching and learning styles, cognitive preference, and career choices. There have been some initial attempts to relate conative level with moral choice and cognitive level (Green, 1974;Haymes and Green, 1982). Should teacher preparation institutions design programs congruent with the needs of studentssuch as conative level -and would such programs facilitate maturation?…”

In this study, Nelli and Atwood attempt to examine whether prospective teach ers measure at the same personality level as practicing teachers. The selected personality variable was conative level. Seventy-three elementary teacher prep aration students at a major state univer sity and 41 elementary teachers in an urban area in the same state partici pated in the study. Analysis of variance showed no significant difference be tween the conative levels of preservice teachers and regular teachers. The authors offer three possible explana tions for this finding and outline sugges tions for further research.

This study was undertaken to examine the independent influences of conative development (the Maslow needs hierarchy) upon behavioral aspects of prosocial orientations. It provides a behavioral demonstration of conative effects in a helping paradigm, among college-age men. A comparison of the conative data across the ages of 15-22 provided a cross-sectional view of conative development itself. Conative maturity was found to be predictive of greater helping among college-age men. Situational demands were demonstrated which tended to mask, but not override, these predispositional influences on helping. The cross-sectional data on conative development point to probable movement to early esteem concerns among high school men who have reached the conative level of love and belonging. On the other hand, the stability across the years of 15-22 of proportion of safety concerns suggests fixation of such concerns in those exhibiting them in high school. Results are discussed in terms of conative growth for development of prosocial orientations.
