One justification offered for legacy admissions policies at universities is that that they bind entire families to the university.
Proponents maintain that these policies have a number of benefits, including increased donations from members of these families.
We use a rich set of data from an anonymous selective research institution to investigate which types of family members have
the most important effect upon donative behavior. We find that the effects of attendance by members of the younger generation
(children, children-in-law, nieces and nephews) are greater than the effects of attendance by the older generations (parents,
parents-in-law, aunts and uncles). Previous research has indicated that, in a variety of contexts, men and women differ in
their altruistic behavior. However, we find that there are no statistically discernible differences between men and women
in the way their donations depends on the alumni status of various types of relatives. Neither does the gender of the various
types of relatives who attended the university seem to matter. Thus, for example, the impact of having a son attend the university
is no different from the effect of a daughter. 相似文献
An ongoing controversy in the literature on the economics of higher education centers on whether the success of a school’s athletic program affects alumni donations. This paper uses a unique data set to investigate this issue. The data contain detailed information about donations made by alumni of a selective research university as well as a variety of their economic and demographic characteristics. One important question is how to characterize the success of an athletic program. We focus not only on the performance of the most visible teams, football and basketball, but also on the success of the team on which he or she played as an undergraduate. 相似文献
A meta-analysis of the A-not-B error was conducted using logistic regression on studies conducted before September 1997 (107 data points). An earlier meta-analysis by Wellman, Cross, and Bartsch revealed that age, delay between hiding and retrieval, and number of hiding locations were significant predictors of both the proportion of infants who searched correctly on B trials and the proportion of infants who searched perseveratively. The current analysis replicated these findings with two exceptions: (1) The number of trials at the A location was a significant predictor, and (2) the number of locations was a significant predictor of the proportion of infants who searched perseveratively, but not the proportion of infants who searched correctly. Implications of these findings are discussed and a quantitative version of a hierarchical competing-systems model of infant search is proposed. 相似文献
Jim Garrison's recent criticisms of what he refers to as 'dangerous dualisms' in my theory of critical thinking are unsuccessful. They fail, in large part, because of misinterpretations of my view, but also because of Garrison's systematic reliance on problematic aspects of Dewey's terminology and philosophy. 相似文献
Summary Responses were obtained from 50 fourth and ninth grade teachers on a 55-item test of their attitudes toward television in
the classroom after 33 of them had been involved and 17 not involved in television series which introduced new ways of teaching
mathematics. Intercorrelations were computed, and factors were analyzed. The resulting factor structure indicated 10 unique
factors of the attitudes expressed. No general factor was found.
The ten factors were tentatively identified as follows: challenge-threat, economy, instructional side-benefits, partnership
between TV and classroom teachers, responsiveness, parental influences, security of the classroom teacher, invidious comparison,
experimental attitude, and in-service training.
On the whole the teachers’ attitudes were highly favorable to instructional television, and consistently rejected the idea
that the TV teacher represents a threat to the classroom teacher. 相似文献
End-of-life care is a hot topic in many hospitals of late, in part due to an aging society, which is forcing health care professionals to address the issue. A culture that places enormous value on youth and avoids the topic of death also contributes to the discomfort many health care professionals feel discussing this topic with their patients and family members. Inpatient satisfaction survey scores at Thunderbird Samaritan Medical Center (TSMC) were very inconsistent on the question of how the institution was meeting the emotional and/or spiritual needs of patients. A staff survey and needs assessment was also conducted regarding end-of-life care, which pointed out communication issues among staff members. All of these factors led to the development of an inter-disciplinary team to examine the issue of end-of-life care at TSMC. 相似文献
