Subjects for Articles on School Libraries Desired by Editors of Educational Periodicals

Abstract

Ratings were obtained from 142 graduate students concerning the extent to which they perceived themselves possessing certain characteristics. Half of these students were requested to sign their names; half remained anonymous. Analysis of the results indicated that:

1. Students rated themselves higher on non-intellectual than on Intellectual traits.

2. There was no significant difference in ratings between the anonymous group and the group who signed their names.

3. Self-ratings were independent of both the sex and the number of graduate credits earned by the subject.
