This study examined the relationship between relational motivation, career search effort, and student status among 124 college students. Relational motivation includes motivation from close others (relationally autonomous reasons or RARs) and motivation from oneself (personally autonomous reasons or PARs). The study found that RARs predicted career search effort, but student status and parental status did not predict differences in motivation or effort. Specifically, higher RARs were associated with greater career search effort, but traditional and non-traditional students and parents/non-parents did not differ in their motivation or efforts. The results provide partial support for the hypotheses.
Comparative research is one of the most common and commonly known forms of assessment. It can take the form of meta-studies, where JA looks at existing research and pulls similar data points to compare to the data JA collects on its students, volunteers, etc. This approach has been used to determine how effective the JA volunteer model is and how JA alumni compare to the general population in terms of educational attainment, median income, and business ownership.

The work empirically establishes an association between self assessment (SA) and academic achievement (AA) in an attempt to validate current and future studies in the literature that speak to relationships between SA and AA. SA was defined as the involvement of students in identifying standards and/or criteria to apply to their work and making judgments about the extent to which they met these criteria and AA was defined as ‘task oriented behavior that allows the individual’s performance to be evaluated according to some internally or externally imposed criterion that involves the individual in competing with others, or that otherwise involves some standard of excellence. Five hundred and fifteen participants (15-17 years old) drawn from 10 high schools spanning all levels of AA comprised the sample. Validation of this empirical relationship establishes a foundation and may act as a catalyst for accelerating future research in this much needed area.

METHOD PAPER
Method
Method Description
This study focuses on relational satisfaction among dating and married couples. A survey design will be the research method for this study. A correlational design is appropriate because this study aims to understand how couples perceive their relationship. More precisely, questionnaires will be conducted in responds to the following hypothesis question; overbenefitted and underbenefitted relational partners are less satisfied than people in equitable relationships. This study assumes that perceived equity is positively related to relational satisfaction. The questions pertain to how each partner views the overall relationship. Equity seems to play a vital role in the determining relational satisfaction, therefore it will be examined.
Procedures
Participants. A non-random, convenience and snowball sample of 250 couples (500 individuals total) will be required for this study. A large number of participants will be needed to ensure that the population will be accounted for. Although this study includes people from a large age range, all participants must meet an age requirement of 18 years or older. Also, all participants must have been in a relationship for at least 6 months. Two types of participants will be recruited for this study. Dating couples will be recruited from Arizona State University communication classes. Students will be given extra credit for participating in a two-part study. Encouraging student’s participation by offering extra credit will be the most efficient method of reaching a quota of 250 couples. Part one of the study requires the student and their partner to fill out a questionnaire about their perception and their partner’s perception of the relationship. Part two entails students to have their parents fill out the same questionnaire. In other words, married couples will be recruited by the student participants.
Procedures. Participation is based on a first come first served basis. The first 125 students who sign up will receive extra credit upon completing their participation. Student couples will show up to a designated area on school campus. They will immediately be separated and given identical questionnaires. They will be instructed to complete the questionnaire and any clarification will be addressed by a confederate. Participants will be asked not to discuss their responds with their partners until both complete the questionnaires. This will prevent biased responds form participants. After the couple completes the questionnaire, the student who signed up for the study will be given two confidential envelops for each parent. Parents will be instructed to fill out the survey individually and their children (student) will return the package to an assigned area. The procedure for this study is appropriate because students have the incentive to gain extra credit. Also, reliability and validity will be determined by the instrumentation of study.

ABSTRACT- Psychology is the study of mentality and behaviour. Present study is an attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individ-ual. It tries to establish parameters which form the basis for the future research. Study of students’ psychology in the field of education is much more important in terms of career adoption behaviour of students. Present research was based on the survey in the college going students. The candidates were interviewed regarding their selection of the present non-professional course. The results of the study suggested that the conditions and back-ground of the students effect the decision of their career adoption in present study area.

Optimistic About the Future, But How Well Prepared? College Students' Views o...Robert Kelly
Key findings from survey among 400 employers and 613 college students conducted in November and December 2014 for The Association of American Colleges and Universities by Hart Research Associates.
From November 13 to December 3, 2014, Hart Research conducted an online survey on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities among 613 college students—all of whom were ages 18 to 29 and within a year of obtaining a degree, or in the case of two-year college students, within a year of obtaining a degree or transferring to a four-year college. These students included 304 four-year public college seniors, 151 four-year private college seniors, and 158 community college students who plan to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
Prior to the survey, in September 2014, Hart Research conducted three focus groups among current college students. One group was convened in Waltham, Massachusetts, among seniors at private four-year colleges and universities. Two groups were held in Dallas, Texas—one group among seniors at public four-year colleges and universities and another group among students at community colleges who expect to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
The focus groups and survey were undertaken to explore college students’ views on what really matters in college, including what learning outcomes are most important to them personally and for their future success. The research also explored current college students’ sense of the job market today, their confidence in being able to secure a job, and how effectively they think that their college learning has prepared them for this. The research was designed to understand the learning outcomes students believe are most important to acquire to be able to succeed in today’s economy and how well they feel that their college or university has prepared them in these areas. It also explored their participation in various applied and project-based learning experiences, as well as their perceptions of the degree to which employers value these experiences when hiring recent college graduates.
The survey of college students was conducted in tandem with a survey of 400 employers, and explored many of the same topics to provide a comparison between these two audiences.
This report highlights key findings from the research among college students. Selected comparisons with employers are included where relevant. A report of selected findings from the survey of employers was released by AAC&U in January 2015.
The purpose of the study is to identify the determinants that are closely associated with intrinsic interest among undergraduate accounting students. Descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis were applied in this study. The data was generated through questionnaire instruments using the seven points of the Likert scale. The study involved 136 samples of undergraduate accounting student at Universitas Padjadjaran. Reliability and Validity tests were conducted to make sure the items of questions are valid and the internal consistency are present. There are five independent variables in this research, namely intrinsic interest, extrinsic interest, self-efficacy, parental and peer influence, and anticipated conflict. Results indicate that extrinsic interest and self-efficacy are positively and significantly associated with the intrinsic interest of undergraduate accounting student. Meanwhile, parental and peer influence and anticipated conflict are negatively associated with the intrinsic interest of undergraduate accounting students. The magnitude of correlation for anticipated conflict is significant, however, parental and peer influence was found not significant.
Haven Requirement & Sexual Assault Education Assessment Alexandra Kirchick
The purpose of this research was to evaluate whether or not the Cal Poly Dean of Students use of Haven, an online sexual assault learning module, is an effective tool to educate students on the topic of sexual assault. From our data, we discovered that while sexual assault is viewed as a true and serious threat in San Luis Obispo, very few respondents found value in the online course, Haven. Through both quantitative and qualitative research, the research team concluded that Cal Poly Dean of Student must find new ways to inform students about this topic. From our semi structured interviews, we gathered that students would be interested in choosing from a variety of classes to learn about sexual assault. Some suggestions for courses that could be provided include but are not limited to: a self defense class, an independent research project, and/or a group research project. By providing a number of ways to learn, it is likely that students will be more motivated by and interested in sexual assault.

Discussion 5
Critically think about ethnocentrism, culture, and how these concepts impact research. Familiarize yourself with the objectives in Module 5 as well as the assigned course materials, videos, articles, and introduction. Use the assigned readings for this week as a primary reference as well as material from the Saint Leo Online Library for peer reviewed sources and to find relevance to this week’s topic. Please share your information with our classmates on this thread.
Questions:
1. Define culture, ethnocentrism and social construction. What are ways in which ethnocentrism can be avoided when conducting research? What core values or ethical principles are violated when ethnocentrism is not avoided and is included in research in the form of a bias?
2. How does avoiding ethnocentrism and including diversity in one’s research positively impact the quality of one’s work? How will you use what you have learned about diversity and ethnocentrism in your own life both as a student and in a future career in the field of psychology?

Interview Questions
Central Question:
How can the gaps in college readiness between students from low-income and underserved communities and those from wealthy and majority groups be eliminated?
Interview Questions
1. What parameters/Indicators are used to determine whether a student is college-ready or not?
The question is crucial in identifying whether the instructors are aware of the factors that contribute to college readiness among the students. Several indicators influence college readiness. Such parameters are combined before understanding whether a high school student is college-ready. Some indicators accurately show students’ college preparedness, while others give a false picture. Leeds & Mokher (2019) showed that using placement tests to assign students to developmental courses results in frequent misplacement. The authors used data from Florida. They concluded that it might be preferable to choose cutoffs that minimize misplacement than to use new metrics (Leeds & Mokher, 2019). Also, they proposed that each state use metrics that are unique to their con ...

Results
Conclusion & Implications
The process or success to which a person
searches for a career is very important for students.
The purpose of this study is to identify the reasons
for which students pursue goals, how much effort
they put into their job searching, and to explore
whether higher levels of relational motivation are
related to job search intensity with the traditional
and non-traditional student. Parental status was
also examined. A multiple regression analysis as
well as two independent samples t-tests were
conducted to obtain the results. The hypotheses
were only partially supported in that career search
effort was predicted by RARs and student status,
but student status did not predict career search
effort and being a parent did not predict higher
levels of RARs.
One of the most important goals for many college
students is obtaining career before or after graduating.
Job search intensity is the concept which refers to the
effort a person puts forth in their career search.
Relational motivation is the type of motivation being
explored and is defined as motivation that includes
close others in your goal pursuit. Gore and Cross (2006)
defined these different types of relational motivation:
• Relationally- Autonomous reasons (RARs) involve
pursuing goals in the interest of a close relationship
• Controlled Reasons (CRs) involve pursuing goals
only in the interest of other people
• Personally Autonomous reasons (PARs)involve
pursuing goals in one’s own interest.
The current study is examining these hypotheses:
1. We predicted that RARs will be more strongly
associated with the career search effort of
nontraditional students than for traditional students
2. We also predicted that Nontraditional students will
have greater career search effort than traditional
students.
3. The final prediction is that among the nontraditional
students, the parents will have higher RARs than the
non-parents.
Participants for this study were 124 undergraduate students at eastern
Kentucky University enrolled in courses where class credit was given for
outside participation points. The age range of the participants was 19 – 55
years old. The questionnaire was offered on SONA, an online research
program designed to administer and gather research data. The
questionnaire is designed to measure relational motivation (including
RARs and PARs) and career search effort of the participants, also
considering student status (traditional and non traditional) and parental
status. Upon analysis, means were calculated for each participant across
the measures for RARs and Career search effort. Analyses were
conducted to determine if their was any relationship between RARs,
student status and career search effort as well as to determine if parental
status was a predictor of levels of RARs present in goal pursuit and if
student status is a predictor of career search effort.

Reasons
Knowledge concerning goal pursuit is important in
many ways. Reasons why people pursue goals can
lead to the development of better equipped and better
informed career services in colleges and in the
community. With a better understanding of what drives
people to achieve and what motivating factors have the
greatest success in attainment of goals, efforts to help
people attain their goals can then be focused on each
individuals specific motivating factor. . By involving
these close others directly with the individual actually
searching for the career or pursuing the goal, it can lead
to more desirable outcomes. Since RARs have been
found to predict career search effort, career services at
colleges can urge students to involve family members or
close friends in their efforts in looking for jobs upon
graduation. Job fairs could be designed around the
student and their close friends or family with the goal of
creating more relational motivation towards the career
search for students. The desired outcome is more
motivation, more effort, and hopefully more success in
their career search!
The results of the regression analysis show
that 5% of the variance in career search effort
can be accounted for by RARs and only .2%
of the variance in career search effort can be
accounted for by student status. The results
of this analysis were significant and in the
expected direction. RARs predicted career
search effort. R2= .05, F(1,122)=6.41, p<.05,
β=.223.
The independent sample t-tests conducted
did not produce statistically significant results.
Parental status, specifically being a parent,
did not predict higher levels of RARs. In
addition, student status did not predict career
search effort.
