- Authors
Cooley, William W.; Becker, Susan J.
- Abstract
Using data obtained by Project TALENT, a nationwide study of high school youth, the authors describe the junior college student The junior college, non-college, and college students have been compared along six measures of information and eight of general aptitude and ability. Through the use of a six-group discriminant analysis, it was found that junior college students have a tendency to be more like non-college students in terms of ability. However, sex differences on the ability measures were greater than the differences among the three college-planning groups. Although the Junior college student looks more like the non-college student in terms of ability, he appears to be more like the college student in terms of socio-economic factors.
