“…The teachers were selected on the basis of their degree of self-actualization as measured by the inner-directed scale of Shostrom's (1966) Personal Orientation Inventory (POI), their having a class period of at least 30 minutes, and their willingness to participate in the study with approval of the school administrator. Of the 126 teachers who responded to the POI on request, the 10 teachers who scored highest and the 10 teachers who scored lowest on the inner-directed scale of the POI were selected so that comparisons between the two groups could be made in terms of classroom verbal behaviors (Zimmerman, 1971). Two teachers were unwilling to participate in the video taping and one dropped out due to illness.…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze verbal interaction in class discussions in home economics in relation to self‐actualization of the teacher. Ten Iowa ninth grade teachers who scored high on the inner‐directed scale of Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) and 10 who scored low were selected. Two classroom discussions were video taped for each teacher. The Sequential Analysis of Verbal Interaction (SAVI) was used to analyze classroom verbal interaction with inter‐ observer and intraobserver reliabilities established at .85. Although no differences were found between the two groups of teachers on use of the SAVI areas, some significant differences were found within teacher groups using a nested analysis of variance. Self‐actualizing teachers tended to vary more in verbal patterns than did the less self‐actualizing group. It is recommended that some areas of the SAVI be omitted in studies of home economics classrooms and that the validity of the POI for use with home economics teachers be examined.

The purposes of this study were to determine possible relationships between selected background characteristics and degree of self‐actualization of home economics teachers of central Iowa, to refine a teacher‐student rapport instrument, and to test for differences in teacher‐student rapport between two groups of teachers differing in self‐actualization. Data on background characteristics and self‐ actualization (inner‐directed scale of Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory) were gathered by mail from 126 teachers. No relationships existed between degree of self‐actualization and the background characteristics. Two groups of the teachers, 10 who scored high and 10 who scored low on the POI, were selected for remaining phases of the study. Their ninth grade students responded to the Student Estimate of Teacher Concern (SETC), a measure of teacher‐student rapport. A 39‐item form of the SETC was developed from an 89‐item version with no loss in reliability. No significant difference in teacher‐ student rapport was found between the two groups of teachers.

“…The most common measure of reliability used is the percentage of coder agreement. The SAVI has been used in dissertation studies by Agazarian (1969), Browne (1977), Cox (1976), Harvey (1976), Holst (1990), MacKinnon (1984), Smith (1970), Sturdevant (1991), Weir (1978), and Zimmerman (1970). The range for intracoder reliability is 80%-95%, and the range for intercoder reliability is 80%-91%.…”
