- Title
The College Sophomore as Guinea Pig: Setting the Record Straight.
- Authors
Greenberg, Jerald
- Abstract
The article presents a response to the 1986 article "'The Science of the Sophomore' Revisited: From Conjecture to Empiricism," by M. E. Gordon, L.A. Slade, and N. Schmitt regarding using college students as subjects for organizational research. The author states that though the subject of the original paper is valid, it deserves further analysis, and offers two reasons why journal editors should consider studies that feature college student data. The author suggests that editors consider the relative usefulness of student and non-student samples and the interpretation of the between-subject differences.
