A Study of Participant Educational Objectives in Selected Management Institute Programs

Abstract

A questionnaire designed to determine accessibility of a car was given to a Senior class of a suburban high school. Two grade-point averages were collected: the first before the students were legally able to drive, and the second after they had been legally able to drive for about one and one-half to two years. An IQ score was also collected. The subjects were divided into boys and girls. Car accessibility was divided into three categories: (1) no driver's license; (2) moderate accessibility; and (3) a group having maximum accessibility. It was concluded that the students' access to cars has no effect on the grade-point average over this period. This Is true even when their Hi is taken into account. It was determined that there is a differential pattern of access to cars by intellectual ability levels. Questions regarding the Interpretations of previous work seem justified.
