“…Differences in percentages of vocational and nonvocatiqnal majors between the three groups were statistically insignificant. This finding is supported by Elton and Rose (1968) who reported that university engineers could not be differentiated from other males in their OPI change scores over a 4-year period.…”

An investigation was made of the pattern ol change occurring in personality test scores for a sample of 130 college females. It was predicted that degree of change would be related to (a) ability measures, (b) original status in personality test scores, and (c) college majors. Although significant differences were found between three groups of girls in degree of change, none of the predictions was substantiated. The results extend the findings on the nonintellectual outcomes of the college experience.

“…First, many researchers have reported that the values of undergraduates shift while they are students (Anderson & Western, 1969, 1970; Astin, 1977; Balkin, Brandt, Katz, & Levin, 1977; Barris, Kielhofner, & Bauer, 1985; Blomquist, Cruise, & Cruise, 1980; Chickering & McCormick, 1973; Elton, 1969, 1971; Elton & Rose, 1968; Feather, 1973; Feldman & Weiler, 1976; Finney, 1974; Franks, Falk, & Hinton, 1973; Hoge & Bender, 1974; Johansson & Dey, 1973; Kuh, 1976; Ogle & Dodder, 1978; Pedro, 1984; Schmidt, 1970; Trent & Medsker, 1969). Most of the shifts reported were in the direction of the values presumably advocated in higher education.…”

Prior studies have shown that undergraduates' values change over time and differ depending on students' declared majors. Unfortunately, values have often been measured with modally ambiguous scales, and researchers have tended to ignore the effects of specific campus experiences on values. This study measured values with scales composed of items worded in normative, preferential, and self-descriptive modes. Values, background variables, academic majors, and campus experiences were examined in a panel study conducted with university students. Findings revealed that the three modes of thought were both associated and differentiated for values, confirmed previous findings showing associations between values and academic majors, and indicated that some campus experiences had sizable effects on values. The latter finding suggests that selected students' values can be encouraged through exposure to specific campus experiences.

“…criterion measures of counseling effectiveness (Haase & Miller, 1968) also have been submitted to factor analysis, as have the interindividual profile correlations of change scores (Elton & Rose, 1968) and therapists' Q sort descriptions of client personality (VanAtta, 1968).…”
