PREFACE
As the final report for the Socialand Rehabilitation service grant RD 1127,this publication reviews the activities of
the University of Florida Regional ResearchInstitute (UF-RRRI) from its establishmentthrough the advent of the new core researchprogram. It also describes the recent andcurrent activities of the UF-RRRI so thatrehabilitation workers can know how theInstitute's publications and projects mayassist them. Lastly, the report presentsabstracts of the monographs and the jour-
nal articles written by the previous staffwhich were relevant to the core researchareas of the Institute s first years. Ad-
ditional reports which have relevance torehabilitation workers are also presented.
The research described herein hasbeen conducted by the UF-RRRI as a integralunit of the College of Health Related Pro-fession at the university of Florida. Theguidance and assistance of the Dean of thatCollege, Darrel J. Mase, has contributedmaterially to the efforts of the Institute.He initiated the establishment of the UF-RRRI and was its first project director.Being a part of the College of Health Re-lated Professions has facilitated the In-stitutes research efforts in the past andis contributing substantially to its cur-
rent activities.
Since its inception the major supportfor the UF-RRRI has come from the Socialand Rehabilitation Service. Until March31, 1967 ,this was provided under grantRD 1127, and since that date under RD 2870.We appreciate the assistance of Mr. N. Ed-ward Acree, of that agency, in planningthis report.
To an even greater extent than mostreports, this publication would not havebeen possible without the work of manyothers. The publications of Drs. HarryE. Anderson, Jr., John R. Barry, GeorgeH. Dunteman and Mr. John P. Bailey, Jr.provide the basis for a large part of thisreport.

ABS1RACT
This report reviews the accomplish-ments, nature, scope and intended impactof the Regional Rehabilitation ResearchInstitute at the University of Florida(UF-RRRI). The Tnstitute/s current pro-jects and activities in manpower and re-search utilization are reviewed as wellas investigations conducted by previousstaff members in the areas of client moti-vation and the selection of personnel forthe health related professions. Abstractsof completed studies are provided in addi-tion to an enumeration of the Institute'sresearch resources and on-going projectsinvestigating the use of support personnelin occupational and physical therapy aswell as rehabilitation counseling.
INTRODUCTION
With the initiation of a new programof rehabilitation research at the Universityof Florida Regional Rehabilitation ResearchInstitute (UF-RRRI), it seems desirableto review the work, accomplishments andfuture plane of the Institute. This re-port describes the UF-RRRIls newly estab-lished core research interests and thesteps planned to realize them. It alsopresents a recapitulation of the activitiesof the UF-RRRI for the recent past as wellas its first five years. Thus, this publi-cation should serve not only to makeinformation (which heretofore appearedonly in scholarly journals) more accessibleto rehabilitation personnel, but also pro-vide for a better understanding of whatUF-RRRI has done and is planning to do.
Research and other activities in thefollowing topical areas will be described:
1. personnel utilization in thehealth related professions,
2. the selection and training ofhealth related professionals,
3. research utilization and dissemi-nation,
4. client motivation and attitudes,and
5. other research projects and activi-ties of the Institute staff.

ROLE OF A REHABILITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE
Many individuals who are interested orshould be interested in the activities ofRegional Rehabilitation Research Institutes(RRRI) do not understand their purposes andprograms. From the beginning, the RRRIshave had the following goals:
1. To develop and conduct a program ofresearch in an area important to vo-cational rehabilitation,
2. To provide research consultation tostate rehabilitation agencies onoperational problems, and
3. To participate in operational research at the request of state re-habilitation agencies.
Among the core research areas chosen by theRRRIs for intensive study have been clientdependency and motivation, the provision ofservices to the culturally disadvantaged,rehabilitation in rural America, the func-tions of the state agency counselor in therehabilitation process, etc.
Since 1959, RRRTs have been esta-blished in each of the nine regions of theSocial and Rehabilitation Service (Depart-ment of Health, Education and Welfare).Each has followed the purposes listedabove. Readers interested in further in-formation about any of the eight otherTnstitutes should write to their direc-tors as listed in Appendix A. The ninthInstitute, at the University of Florida,is described in the following pages.

INSTITUTE ACTIVITIES: 1967-1969
In 1967, the OF -RRRI changed its coreresearch program to study personnel uti-lization problems in rehabilitation serviceprofessions. The form of this new corearea of investigation took the shape of athree pronged attack on methods of moreefficiently solving personnel utiliza-tion problems as follows:
1. A series of investigations ofthe role, function, selection,training and supervision of sup-port personnel in physical andoccupational therapy as well asrehabilitation counseling,
2. The continuation of a longitudi-nal study of personnel in thehealth related professions aimedat identifying the characteris-tics of those individuals whoare most likely to complete theireducation and actually pursuetheir chosen profession in a re-habilitation-related setting, and
3. The on-going review, evaluation,development and publication ofnew techniques for disseminatingstoring, retrieving and utilizing,information, e.g., research re-sults with the goal of facili-tating useful innovations.
In addition, the UF=RRRI has and plans tocontinue sponsoring conferences on topicsrelevant to rehabilitation personnel aswell as meeting the other general goalsof a RRRI.

SUPPORT PERSONNEL.
To study manpower problems in physi-
cal therapy, rehabilitation counseling and
occupational therapy, a variety of methods
from personnel psychology and operations
research are used. The initial work of
the OF -RRRI focuses upon research questions
regarding the selection and utilization of
support personnel in these three rehabili-
tation service professions. Such studies
not only involve an examination of the en-
tire pattern of services in the organiza-
tions, but also a look at the fully trained
professional as these relate to the use of
support personnel. The first investiga-
tion in the series focuses upon the physi-
cal therapist and provides the basic model
for later study of the occupational thera-
pist and rehabilitation counselor.
Physical Therapy. The approach selec-
ted to investigate the use of support per-
sonnel in physical therapy (PT) comprises:
1) planning and constructing a mathemati-
cal model of the main elements of a PT
facility, 2) simulating the operation of
this model facility via computerized tech-
niques, 3) systematically varying the roles
and functions of the personnel (i.e.,
Registered Physical Therapist, Assistant
and Aide) according to a preset experi-
mental design and 4) evaluating the re-
sults to estimate a set of optimum utili
zation and staffing patterns that can
meet the demand for services.
Objective data for the simulation
experiment will be collected at the Uni-
versity of Florida Health Center. The
analyses will be performed with the assis-
tance of the Health Center's statistizian.
Representatives of the American PhysicalTherapy Association have agreed to assistin establishing criteria and otherwisecooperate with the study.
Although the simulation model will beapplicable to a wide variety of settings,the use of data from the Health Centerlimits the interpretation of the resultsto that facility. However, plans havebeen made to collect data from a number ofother facilities to broaden the generali-zability of conclusions drawn from the ex-periment. Conceivably, it would be pos-silqe to not only suggest optimum rolesand functions for each facility s person-nel, but also to identify a policy whichwould best meet the needs of most PT in-
stallations in the country.
Rehabilitation Counseling. Since 1965.Dr. Nuthard has been directing a nation-wide study of the roles and functions ofthe rehabilitation counselor sponsored bythe American Rehabilitation CounselingAssociation and the Social and Rehabili-tation Service. This investigation aimsat providing basic information relevantto the utilization and education ofrehabilitation counselors. Tt will pro-vide a context for a later study ofsupport personnel in vocational rehabil-itation. The study, which is to be pub-lished in 1969, will describe:
a) the functions performed by rehabilita-tion counselors (RC) in various set-tings;
b)the perceptions of counselors and oth-ers of the current role of the RC;
5
c)the perceptions of counselors andothers of the desirable role of the
RC;
d)the extent to which work setting and
personal characteristics are related
to the actual and desirable functionsof the RC;
e) the conceptions of the future roles
and functions of the RC held by leaders
3n the field of rehabilitation; and
f)the implications of the various RC
role perceptions for the preparationof rehabilitation counselors.
Conference on Counselor Roles and Functions.comp e on of e data co ec on
and analysis phases of The RehabilitationCounselor study, the Institute staffplanned and conducted a Research Utiliza-tion Conference of Rehabilitation CounselorResearch in Washington, D. C. on November
7-8, 1968. This conference broughttogether delegates of the major nationalassociations concerned with the job of the
rehabilitation counselor, representativesof the state, federal and private agencyservice programs and investigators engagedin related research. A publication whichreviews the projects presented and theactivities of these two days will be pub-lished during the spring of 1969.
LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF PERSONNEL IN THEHEALTH RELATED PRIWESSIONS,
For over five years, the OF -RRRI has
been collecting data on all students enrolled in a University of Florida course
6
entitled "Introduction to the Health Re-
lated Professions." For the most part,these students intended to major in occu-
pational therapy (OT), physical therapy(PT) or medical technology (MT). These
data included not only the usual bio-graphical items, but also the results ofselected interest inventories and person-
ality measures. As the students who parti-
cipated in the earlier OF -RRRI studies(Dunteman, Anderson, Barry, 1966) graduate,data concerning their success and persis-tance at their chosen profession will becollected as criteria for a multivariate
analysis.
This analysis will attempt toidentify the characteristics of thosestudents who are most likely to graduate,enter, succeed and persist in their chosen
field. The goal of this study is to de-
velope a predictive formula which will as-sist in the counseling and selection ofprospective students for OT, PT, and MT.
In addition, the results are expected to
provide leads toward the development of
improved supervision and evaluation tech-
niques in these fields.
Since early 1968, a similar study has
been initiated with students entering therehabilitation counseling program at sev-
eral universities including the: Univer-
sity of Florida, University of Georgia,
Michigan State University, State Univer-
sity of New York at Buffalo, West VirginiaUniversity, and the University of Scranton.
This study will examine the relationshipsbetween selected personal data and inven-
tory scores with success in graduate work,type of position taken, persistence in re-habilitation work, and performance on the
Graduate Student Examination in Rehabili-
tation Counseling prepared by the Profes-
sional Examination Service of the Ameri-
can Public Health Association.
DISSEMINATION, RETRIEVAL AND UTILIZATION
OF INFORMATION.
The OF -RRRI staff believe that the
use of already established research re-
sults for innovative purposes provides a
fertile area for the development of im-
proved personnel utilization methodologies.For this reason, an on-going series of
projects was established to develop new
tools, disseminate information and provideconsultation to other organizations upon
request.
KWIC Indexes to Rehabilitation and
Other Literature. During 1968, the UF-RRRI
staff identified a need for compiling
a set of indexes to literature relevant
to rehabilitation personnel. Three publi-
cations, all indexed via computerized tech-
niques, were published:
1) Selected Rehabilitation Counsel-JUNgLiteraturet a comprehensivebibliography -index to 3,199 re-ferences selected from hundredsof rehabilitation related sources,
2) Management and Personnel Abstracts,
1,000 abstracts of recent opera-tions research, computer, businessand other technical literatureselected and indexed for rehabi-litation personnel, and
8
3) Research and Demonstration Pro-jects: A Bibliography, a compre-hensive index to 2,425 projectreports and the journal articlesthat resulted from them.
These publications are still available inlimited numbers from the Institute. Theindexing procedure, KeyWord-In-Context(KWIC), is also used to maintain theInstitute s in-house information system.
Information Resources Project. Ifsupplemental resources become available,the UF-RRRI will undertake the prepara-tion of additional "tools" designed tofacilitate access to and the utilizationof information resources (e.g., facilitiesand data) by rehabilitation personnel.These "tools" will take the form of threepublications as follows:
1) a catalogue of all research pro-jects sponsored by the Social andRehabilitation Service as well asthe publications resulting fromthem. This catalogue will alsoinclude subject and author index-es compiled via computerizedtechniques similar to those alreadypublished by theInstitute;
2) a guide to information systems inthe United States which will pro-vide services to rehabilitationpersonnel. This guide will beindexed by subject content as wellas geographical location andinclude all the information nec-essary to indentify and use eachfacility (e.g., name and numberof the person to call, probablecost if any); and
9
I
3) a directory of research personnelin the United States with interestsrelevant to rehabilitation, indexedby areas of competency, previouspublication topics and geographicallocation.
As a set, the first two "tools" providemedia for identifying and obtaining rele-vant information or research results. Thethird "tool," the directory of researchpersonnel, is a means for identifying thenearest competent researcher having thecapability of providing consultation (e.g.,to help interpret and apply the researchresults obtained via the first two "tools").
Conference on Research Utilizationand Dissemination. There is little Justi-fication for research activities unlesssome plan is formulated to utilize theirresults. Consequently, the UF-RRRI spon-sored a conference comprising representa-tives of rehabilitation agencies in theSoutheast to review ways and means ofdisseminating, retrieving, and utilizingresearch and demonstration results. Thisconference was held on June 6-7, 1968, inAtlanta, Georgia. The topics discussedincluded: information storage and re-trieval procedures, activities of theSocial and Rehabilitation Service, researchand demonstration grant applications, andoperations research techniques. Two groupsessions were also held to gather thesuggestions of people who face these prob-lems every day. The proceeding of thisconference which was published late in1968 under the title: Research Utiliza-tion and dissemination: Proceedings ofa Regional Conference (Dumas, 1968)ng.

THE RESEARCH POSTURE OF THE UF-RRRI.
A concerted effort continues to de-velop resources within and associated withthe Institute to improve the capabilityand potential for future research activi-ties. In this connection, the UF-RRRIhas invested many months in developing acomprehensive library of computer prog-rammes for multivariate and univariateanalyses, information storage and retrievalapplications, and operations research meth-odologies. These programs also provide thebasis for the operation of an in-houseinformation systems which is the main ac-cess medium to the Institutels extensivehardcopy and microfiche collection. Pro-cessing for these applications are accomp-lised through rapid and economical conver-sion of data into machine readable form.
The Institute staff maintains jointappointments in the following University

A BRIEF HISTORY OF OF -RRRI STAFFING
As the second RRRI established in thenation with the support of the Social andRehabilitation Service (then Office ofVocational Rehabilitation), the UF-RRRIbegan operations in January, 1962. Ini-tially, Dean Darrell J. Mase was the pro-ject director for the Institute and Dr.John R. Barry was research cocrdinator.Dr. Barry then directed the program from1963 through August, 1966. It was duringthis period that core research studies onfactors related to client motivation forrehabilitation professions were undertaken.These studies were conducted in collabora-tion with Dr. Harry Anderson, Dr. GeorgeDunteman and Mr. John P. Bailey, Jr. Be-tween September, 1966, and August, 1967,at which time Dr. John E. Muthard tookover, Dr. Dunteman was acting head ofthe UF-RRRI. The new core research pro-gram was then established by Dr. Muthardand Dr. Neil S. Dumas, who joined theInstitute staff in June, 1968.

COWED PROJECTS AND PUBLISHED REPORTS
STUDIES OF STUDENTS IN HEALTH RELATED PROFESSIONS.
One of the two initial core research
areas for the UF-RRRI was the extended
study of health related professions (HRP)
students. The major product of this work
is a monograph which reviews the litera-
ture and summarizes the first series of
studies by Anderson, Barry, and nunteman
(1966). These studies examined the util-
ity of several measures for classifyingstudents and predicting subsequent major
fields chosen. Tan these and subsequent
studies, the UP-RRRI staff demonstratedthe potential of various analystic tech-
niques, such as factor analysis, discri-
minant analysis, and canonical correlatior
for research in the health related pro-
fessions. The Strong Vocational Tnterest
Blank for Women (SVIB) proved ratherconsistently to be the most useful measure
of a battery which included the Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI),
Florida Placement Examination rP9, anda Career Choice Questionnaire CCQ . As
indicated previously, the present Institute
staff intends to continue the longitudinal
study of those student groups after they
graduate and become employed.
In a series of papers since 1965,
the development and use of patient eval-
uation measures for occupational and
physical therapy were described by the
Institute staff. The staff also collab-
orated with professionals on the Florida
campus to develop criteria measures for
these two disciplines.

Classification and Selection of Students.
Dunteman, G. H., Anderson, H. E. Jr., Barry, R.
Characteristics of Students in the Health RelatedProfessions, Regional Rehabilitation Research In-stitute, University of Florida, Gainesville, No.2, June, 1966.
This monograph describes the initial phasesof an on-going longitudinal research program aimedat determining distinctive motivational, persona-lity, and other personal characteristics of dif-ferent groups of students in some of the healthrelated professions. The prediction of both aca-demic and job success within these same healthprofessions is also to be explored.
The subjects of the present studies were pre-dominantly freshman and sophomore female studentsenrolled in an introductory course designed togive an orientation to the health professions.The students were divided into four groups on thebasis of the fields they planned to study: medi-cal technology (MT), physical therapy (PT), occu-pational therapy (0T), or some other field (0).Personality, interest, attitude, aptitude, andbiographical information data were obtained fromthese students. Discriminant analyses were thenmade to determine whether these four groups ofstudents could be significantly differentiatedfrom each other on the basis of the above data.A further question concerned whether the differ-ences among the groups of students were of prac-tical significance in the identification of a stu-dent's group membership. The Florida PlacementExamination (FPE), an achievement test, and theStrong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) discri-minated among the groups, while the MinnesotaMultiphasic Personality Inventory, School and Col-lege Ability Test, and the Attitude Toward Dis-
15
abled Persons did not. Futhermore, these differ-
ences were significant in a practical sense as well
as in a statistical sense. On the basis of bothachievement test scores and interest scores, thestudents could be adequately classified into four
groups. It was found that the SVIB predictedgroup membership far more efficiently than the FPE.
Separate factor analyses of the MinnesotaMultiphasic Personality Inventory and the StrongVocational Interest Blank suggested the underlyingpersonality and interest structure of students in
the health related professions. Use of the re-
sulting factors simplified the discriminant anal-yses by reducing the number of dimensions needed to
account for group differences.
The most important factor from the analysis
of the MMPI was characterized as social submissive-ness and emotional warmth in a serious, prone -to -
worry person. The second most important factorwas characterized by extroversion, social assert-iveness, independence of thought and action, and a
tendency toward unsettled personal identification
and philosophy. The remaining factor appeared toreflect an impunitive attitude in the way peopleview others, the world, and themselves.
Nine factors were extracted from the SVIB.The fourth factor was of special interest becausescales measuring interest in the health relatedprofessions loaded heavily on it. Both the Nur-sing and Occupational Therapy scales, which werethe major determinants of Factor IV, loaded only
on that Factor. This was in contrast to many of
the other scales which had significant loadingson more than one factor. This factor analysis
suggested that interest in the health professions
may be more homogeneous in nature than many other
interest areas.
Five factors of the SVIB enabled discrimina-
16
tion among the four groups. The MT group scored
the lowest on two factors which reflected interestin non-technical occupations requiring personalinteractions. Both PTs and Os scored low on athird factor which was defined by the Artist, Au-thor, and Librarian interest scales. OTs scoredlowest on a factor defined by clerical and busi-ness interest scales, and the PTs scored higheston a factor defined by physical education teacher
scales.
Study of occupational therapy students in-dicated that clinical ratings of OT performancecould not be predicted from academic course gradesor the FPE achievement test. This study sug-gested that clinical performance and academicachievement are relatively independent. It ap-
pears quite likely that non-intellective predic-tors will be needed to predict the clinical per-formance criteria.
Plans for future analyses were discussed,including follow up studies of current studentsafter graduation. The same predictor data, usedin the discriminant analysis, will be used againin an attempt to predict OT and PT Job success.Eventually, attempts will be made to develop ajoint index using information derived from bothregression and discriminant analyses for use inrecruiting, selecting and training personnel forthe health related professions,

This paper reports the results of fivestudies with four groups of female students:those intending to enter occupational therapy,
17
physical therapy, medical technology, and "others"who were interested generally in health and re-habilitation professions. No discrimination couldbe made among the four groups on the basis of per-sonality, attitudinal, and basic abilities vari-ables. Significant differences were observed,however, on the Florida Placement Examination withprospective physical therapy students somewhat lowon the natural and social science scales. Signi-ficant differences were determined, also, with theStrong Vocational Interest Blank. Medical techno-logists were low on factors that contained nontech-nical vocations requiring a good deal of inter-action with people; physical therapists were lowon the artist-author-librarian factor but high onthe physical education teacher scales. Optimizingdiscriminant equations are presented where find-ings were significant, and the results are dis-cussed in terms of educational and professionalimplications as well as future research.

A factorial study of the female form of the SVIBJournal of Applied Psychology, 1956, 49, 270-273.
The female form of the SVIB was administeredto 203 freshman and sophomore female students inan introductory course in the University of Flor-ida's College of Health Related Services. Twenty-nine scales were scored, intercorrelated, and fac-tor analyzed. Nine factors resulted with loadingsof ±.35 or more. The factors are discussed interms of implications for female vocational inte-rest and compared with previous factor analyticstudies with the male form of the Blank. Basedon the factor structure of the female interestsgroupings of occupations are presented.

A note on the factorial invariance of the female
form of the SVIB, Journal of Applied Psychology,
1966, 50, 561-562.
The factorial structure of an early and recentBale form of the SVIB was compared. It was found
that two of the largest factors isolated in the re-
cent study were highly similar to two of the four
factors isolated in the earlier study. The remain-
ing two factors isolated in the earlier studyshowed moderate similarity to two additional fac-
tors out of the nine factors found in the recent
study. It was concluded that, in general, the
factorial structure of the two forms was quite
similar.

Discriminant analyses of the SVIB for female stu-dents in five college curricula, Journal of Appli-
ed Psychology, 1966, 50, 509-515.
A multiple discriminant-function analysisdisclosed that groups of students majoring inOccupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, MedicalTechnology, Nursing, and Education could be suc-
cessfully distinguished from each other on the
basis of 29 scales of the SVIB for Women.Furthermore, two discriminant analyses using 11
scales also indicated successful discrimination.Two discriminant functions were significant in
each analysis and the configuration of the groups
in the discriminant space and efficiency of class-
ification for all analyses were highly similar.
It was concluded that the SVIB should be a useful
instrument for discriminating between college
majors when utilizing discriminant-function
analysis.

Validities of the female form of the Strong Vo-
cational Interest Blank occupational therapy,
laboratory technology, and nursing keys, Journal
of Experimental Education, 35, 4, 53-57.
An attempt was made to determine if the Occu-
pational Therapy, Laboratory Technician, and Nur-
sing scales of the SVIB would differentiate a-
mong female college students in Occupational Ther-
apy (OT, N=47), Medical Technology (MT, N=36),
Nursing (N, N=47), and a group of other (0, N=60),
students not enrolled in any health professions
curricula. A generalized D2 indicated that the
score vectors for the four groups were signifi-
cantly different from each other. Since the groups
could be differentiated on the basis of the three
SVIB scales, likelihood functions for predicting
group membership were computed. These equations
indicated that the Laboratory Technician scale
contributed the most to group discrimination.
However, each scale was weighted heavily in the
equation for the group for which the scale was
specifically constructed. The best classifica-
tion occured for the MT group and the worst, for
the Other student group. D2s computed for each
of the six possible two group comparisons indi-
cated that the OT, N, and 0 groups clustered much
nearer to each other than they did to the MT group.
In general, the three SVIB scale performed quite
well in differentiating among the four groups.

This study is a cross-validation of a dis-criminant analysis of an earlier investigation byG. H. Dunteman. Six different classificationequations derived from various scales of the SVIBfor Women were cross-validated on a more recentsample of 135 female students currently enrolledin medical technology, occupational therapy, phy-scial therapy, nursing, and education at eitherthe junior or senior levels. All six equationsyielded a higher percentage of correct classifica-tions on a cross-validation sample than would beexpected by chance and some equations performedmuch better than others. Indications are thatthe most effective equations on cross-validationwere those that were developed on the basis of a"moderate" fit to the validation data.

Canonical correlational analysis was used todetermine the extent to which the MMPI and theSVIB for women were related and how many commonfactors there were underlying the relationshipsbetween these two sets of variables. The resultssuggest that perhaps there is more of an overlapbetween inventoried personality and interesttraits than has been supposed. Canonical corre-lational analysis, as opposed to factor analysis,seems to bring out these similarities.

A factorial study of the MMPI for students inhealth and rehabilitation, Educational and Psy-chological Measurement, 1966, 26, 29-39.
Three factors were constructed, via the prin-cipal component method, from the MMPI scores ofN=168 female students (freshmen and sophomores)enrolled in a basic course in the University ofFlorida College of Health Related Professions.These factors are part of a longitudinal studyto investigate the relationship of the persona-lity structure of students in health and rehabi-litation pre-professional programs to perfor-mance measures during and after training. Thefactors contained the following MMPI scales:I) D, Si, Pt and Pa; II) Sc, Ma and Pd; andIII) Hy and Hs. The M-F scale has its highestloading on Factor II, although the absolutevalue of the loading is not high. An inter-pretation of these factors, within the limits ofthe validity of the MMPI research on non-clinicsamples of college females, is provided. Direc-tions for further research are indicated. Com-ments concerning the use of canonical correla-tions, with respect to scoring artifacts in theMMPI scales, are also provided.

A discriminant analysis of the MMPI for femalecollege students in health and education, Journalof Experimental Education, 35, 3, 85-90
A discriminant function analysis involvingthe ten basic Minnesota Multiphasic PersonalityInventory scales was conducted on the followingfive college curriculum groups: OccupationalTherapy (OT, N=47), Physical Therapy (PT, N=44),Medical Technology (MT, N=51), Nursing (N, N=53)and Education (E, N=24). The largest discrimi-nant function was significant at the .02 level

while the remaining three functions did not ap-proach significance at the .05 level. The MTgroup was fairly well separated from the OT, PT,and N groups by the largest discriminant function.
The Introversion scale had the largest weight inthis discriminant function. Further, the con-figuration of the five groups in the space definedby the first two discriminant functions was dis-cussed and it was concluded that, while the re-sults are of theoretical interest, they have .Limit-ed value in a practical real-life guidance situa-tion.

"Some Comparisons of Occupational Therapy Bio-graphical Facts With Implications for Recruiting,"American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1965,19, (2), 76-78.
The responses to a Career Choice Question-naire of 185 college women enrolled in an intro-ductory course to the health related professions,and who later earned a degree in occupationaltherapy, medical technology, physical therapy,nursing or education at the University of Florida,are examined for differences of possible use inprediction, counseling, or recruiting. Specificcontrasts are made between occupational therapyand each of the other four groups and a compositeof a typical freshman or sophomore prospectiveoccupational therapist is drawn. Based on theseresponses, occupational therapists are urged torecruit more extensively at the high school level.

Patient evaluation of occupational therapy pro-grams, American Journal of Occupational Therapy,
1965, 19, (1), 19-22.
This study examined selected correlates ofpatients' evaluations of occupational therapy (OT)
service programs. A questionnaire was devised toobtain patients' ratings of the therapist in threeroles: 1) as a teacher, 2) as a therapist and 3)
as a professional person, as well as the patients'
evaluation of their OT clinical programs. Re-
sponses were obtained from N=140 physical dis-
ability cases in five institutions and N=159psychiatric cases in four institutions. The
three roles of the therapist were shown to besignificantly related to the patients' evalua-tion of OT, with the role of the therapist quatherapist as the most dominant. The teaching
factor was seen to be of more importance for phy-sical disability cases, while inter-personal be-havior was relatively more important for psychi-
atric cases. The results are discussed in termsof implications for future as well as previousresearch.

Twenty-eight Occupational Therapy studentswho graduated from the University of Florida be-tween 1961 and 1964 were rated on the Report of
Performance in Student Affiliation and on a rating
24
form of the American Occupational Therapy Asso-ciation. Ratings by their supervisors in oneor two clinics were correlated with their acade-mic achievement grades in freshman and sophomorecourses: in American Institutions, PhyscialSciences, English, Logic, Mathematics, Humanities,Biology and Psychology. All these courses weretaken in the freshman and sophomore years. Thecorrelations indicated, as had earlier studies,that grades and achievement measures appear to beineffective predictors of clinical performance.It is concluded that predictors other than pre-professional course grades need to be used to pre-dict clinical success.

The effects of response sets in questionnairestudies, American Journal of Occupational Therapy,1965, 19 (6), 348-350.
The authors' questionnaire on patient eval-uation of occupational therapy (OT) programs, whichoriginally contained only positive statements,was reconstructed by restating its items in thenegative direction. This was done to test theoperation of positive response set in the initialform. Analysis of responses to both forms of thescale by similar groups of patients revealed dif-ferences interpreted to be a function of responseset. With the negative questionnaire there was asignificant lowering of the subscale average rat-ings, although the interrelationships among thesubscales in the two forms remained the same. Thenegative form was also found to be more efficientthan the positive form in predicting the overallevaluation of the therapist. Ratings of the OTas therapist, rather than in terms of teachingrole or over impression, were again found most
25
important in predicting the overall evaluation.

"Relative Effectiveness of Personality, Achieve-ment and Interest Measures in the Prediction ofa Performance Criterion," American Journal ofOccupational Therapy, 1969, 23, (1), 27-29.
The relative effectiveness of the SVIB, theMMPI, and the Florida Placement Examination (FPE)in predicting Report of Performance in StudentAffiliation (RPSA) scores for female occupationaltherapists in a psychiatric setting is assessed andcompared. The eleven RPSA Part I trait scoreswere reduced by principle components analysis toone composite crierion score, which was used asa criterion in each of three regression analyses.The SVIB was by far the most effective predictor,while the MMPI and FPE were about as ineffectiveas previously reported personality and achievementmeasures. The implications and possible reasonsfor these findings are discussed, as well as asuggestion for construction of a better perfor-mance rating instrument.

"The Roles of the Physical Therapist: TheirImportance to the Patient, "Journal of theAmerican Physical Therapy Association, 1965, 45,768-7/2.
Two hundred and forty-five patients receivingphysical therapy in seven different centers through-out the United States were contacted through ques-tionnaires. The questions were designed to deter-mine how patients perceive the role of the physi-cal therapist as a therapist, as a teacher, andthe general professional conduct of the physicaltherapist in terms of the paLient'S over-all
26
evaluation of the physical therapy program.
With ratings on the three therapist roles aspredictors and the patients overall evaluationof the therapist as the criterion, multiple corre-lations were calculated for four groups differen-tiated on patient tenure. In the four analyses,the therapists role as therapist was consistentlyfound to be the best predictor of overall effect-iveness. Suggestions were made for additionalstudies which might give further information onpatient reactions to, and impressions of, physi-cal therapists and physical therapy programs.

STUDIES OF CLIENT MOTIVATION.
During Dr. John Barry's tenure asInstitute Director, client motivation wasa main area of research investigation.The monograph, Client Motivation for Re-habilitation: A Review, sumaRzed rele-vant literaiureEraggested methods andlines of attack for further research. Thestudies conducted at UFAIRRI dealt withthree aspects: (1) the client s satis-faction with his environment, (2) theattitudes and values associated with cli-ent motivation and (3) the manipulationof rewards as a motivating technique.Most of the completed studies use theHerzberg Two- Factor Theory as a frame ofreference. In the course of these inves-tigations, some evidence contradictingthis theory was uncovered as well as sup-port for other aspects. Abstracts of themonograph and the UF-RRRI studies arepresented below.

Barry, J. R. and Malinovsky, M. R.
"Client Motivation For Rehabilitation: A Review,"University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, Re-habilitation Research Monograph Series, No. 1, 1965.
In this extended review of the literature,the concept of motivation, as used by the various
rehabilitation specialties, was described and dis-cussed. In most instances, the concept was foundto be used very broadly, More specific definitionof the client behaviors and characteristics sub-sumed under the term motivation strengthened re-search on client motivation.
For the review, studeis in client motivationwere grouped into three major areas: those dealingprimarily with physiological and safety needs,those dealing primarily with love and belonging-ness needs, and those dealing with self-esteem andself-actualizing needs. In addition to this group-ing, based upon Maslow's schema for describingpersonality, subgroupings referring to the sourceof the client's need or motivation were used.
7n some instances, researchers and other wri-ters have considered motivation to be an essent-ially intrinsic variable or characteristic, i.e.,intrinsic to the client and originating withinthe client's psychological system. Other writershave considered motivation as primarily the re-sult of forces and variables external to the client.Thus, in the review, some researchers and otherreports were grouped for consideration in termsof this internal vs. external dichotomy. Fromthe review it appeared that all of these ways oflooking at clients' motivation are useful in cer-tain instances. There are few indications fromthe research that certain approaches or descrip-tive systems are less useful than others. Diffi-culties in measuring all of the needs listed were
29
encountered. Further research is necessary in allof the areas considered in the review.
An additional section of this review dealtwith research methodology in general terms. Whilesome of the studies reviewed were of superior de-sign, many suffered from poor measurement tech-niques, the lack of proper controls, and othercontaminating and confounding defects in design.These defects, in most instances, were not point-ed out for the specific studies in this review.Instead in the section on research methodology,characteristics of efficient research design weresuggested.
In the discussion section, certain issues,such as the definition of client motivation, themeaning of the term rehabilitation, and communi-cation among the rehabilitation specialists, werediscussed. Finally, certain over-riding sugges-tions for enhancing client motivation were sug-gested in the last section of the review.
In conclusion the authors assert further andbetter research is unquestionably needed regard-ing client motivation for rehabilitation. Despitethe positive suggestions developed in the review,they think a great deal more needs t, be knownabout the dynamics of rehabilitation.

Client motivation for rehabilitation, Rehabilita-tion record, 1965, 6, (Jan.-Feb.) 13 - 16.
After mention of the wide variety of mean-ings and difficulties associated with the conceptof motivation, it is defined as, "the extrinsicand intrinsic conditions responsible for varia-tions in the intensity, quality, and direction ofongoing behavior." Some aspects of conscious andunconscious motivation are discussed. Researchon client dependency, disabled client job perfor-mance, and the influence of the client counselorrelationship on the rehabilitation process arecited as examples of motivation related research.In reviewing the research on client motivationpreviously conducted at the University of FloridaRegional Institute, the following three types ofstudies are described: 1) studies of client satis-faction with his environment; 2) studies of atti-tudes and values associated with client motivation,and 3) studies of the manipulation of rewards asa motivating technique.

Patient motivation for rehabilitationThe Cleft Palate Journal, 1965, 2, 62-68.
The nature of the rehabilitation process asit related to cleft palate patients is brieflyconsidered. From a comprehensive review of litera-ture, major motivational concepts were brieflyexplained. The patient's needs and life-situationwere cited as key elements in understanding hismotivations. Studies of motivational problemsamong cleft palate patients were also brieflyreported. Among the several important considera-tions in motivating the patient listed were:
31
j.
1) the patient's acceptance of his disability, 2)
his feelings of discomfort and then hope, 3) the
patient's expectancies about rehabilitation and
the expectancies of those in his environment, 4)
the extremely complex relationships between the
patient and his therapists, 5) the kinds and
types of external pressures upon the patient and
6) the availability to the patient of adequate
rehabilitation resources. These considerations
in greater or lesser degree are important in the
rehabilitation of any kind of disability includ-
ing that of the cleft palate and the cleft lip.
A patient's motivation for rehabilitation can be
improved and enhanced by an increased understand-
ing of and attention to these considerations.

"Determinants of work attitudes," Journal of
Applied Psychology, 1965, 49, 446-451.
The motivator-hygiene theory of work attitudes
assumes that two independent sets of variables(motivator and hygiene) are related to employee
job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The appli-
cability of this assumption to the job attitudes
of 117 blue-collar workers was tested through
factor analyses of a 40-item work attitude survey.
The job attitudes of blue-collar workers could be
separated into two relatively independent sets of
variables, comparable to motivator or hygiene
variables. However both sets of variables were
found to be positively related to job satisfaction,
contrary to predictions from Herzberg's Two-Factor
theory.

The motivator-hygiene theory of work attitudes
assumes that two independent sets of variables de-
termine job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction.
The generality of this theory was tested with re-
sponses from 85 Negro blue-collar workers to a
40-item questionnaire. These data were factor
analyzed and compared with comparable data from
117 white blue-collar workers. The two sets of
factors appeared to differ although some similari-
ties were found. It appeared that hygiene factors
were more important to the Negroes than to the
whites. The two-factor theory may be too simple
to encompass the concepts of job satisfaction and
dissatisfaction, at least in the blue-collar Negro.
The two-factor theory may be less useful when one
considers low-status work.

Differential effects of incentives among the re-

Normals, institutionalizedretardates, and
non-institutionalizedretardates, matched on the
basis of MA, were tested on a simple performance
task under social and tangible reinforcement con-
titions were believed to reflect differences in
the motivational systems of the groups. The per-
formances of the normals and institutionalized
retardates were very similar, as these two groups
did not perform significantly longer or faster
than each other on the task. The non-institutiona-
lized retardates performed significantly longer
than either of the other two groups, and signifi-
cantly faster than the institutionalized retardate
group. This result was explained in terms of the
greater frustration and failure which these Ss
may experience in their daily lives.

Personality and motivation in rehabilitationJournal of Counseling Psychology, 1968, 237-244.
This study concerned the psychological refe-rents for patient motivation for recovery and re-turn to work. Criterion ratings of this motiva-tion, based upon follow-up data for a VA patientsample who had primarily a physical disabilitywere compared with a variety of psychologicalassessment data obtained one year before the cri-terion data were collected. A factor analysis ofthe assessment data yielded 14 primarily test-specific factors. Strong patient motivation forrecovery and return to work was associated withfavorable attitudes toward self, a small discre-pancy between ratings of real and ideal self,intelligence, attitudes of social restraint, andan interest in people and in getting along withthem.

OTHER STUDIES
Among the many other areas of inves-tigation pursued by the Institute staffhave always been: 1) manpower and researchutilization, 2) statistical methodologyand 3) studies of personality. With re-spect to manpower and research utilization,two reports by the first Institute nirector,Dean D. J. Mase, are presented here. Stu-dies by the current Institute staff in thisarea are described in the first section ofthis report. As previously mentioned, thistopic is now the Institute's prime area of
1
research interest. In addition, one sta-tistical methodology study and three per-sonality studies using the MMPI with par-ents of disturbed children as well as
(alcoholic males are also presented.

Manpower utilization for the futureJournal of Rehabilitation, 1964, 30 (1), 37-39, 61.
Extensive evidence supporting the need forincreased manpower in the health related profes-sions as well as psychology and other specialtiesis cited. The author asserts that it will be nec-essary to increase the number of people in theseprofessions by 50 to 100 percent and that thisalone will not meet the need unless more effec-tive techniques of manpower utilization are alsoemployed. His main suggestion is that "Wepermit" these professionals to "do what they areuniquely trained and qualified to do, and trainassistants and aides to do" those things whichdo not require extensive abilities. He also in-dicates that time and motion studies as well asthe application of modern management procedureswould do much toward lessening costs and improv-ing the ability of these professions to provideservices. A brief review of the efforts of var-ious professional associations in this connectionis included.

The principles which guided the work of theUniversity of Florida Regional Rehabilitation Re-search Institute were described. Emphasis was
given to the desired working relationship betweenthe research staff and faculty in the College ofHealth Related Professions. Also discussed were:the urgent need for research leading to new tech-niques and methods for improving the rehabilita-tion process and the barriers to conducting such
36
research (unavailability of records, confusion indisability nomenclature, and lack of appropriateclassification systems). The experience obtainedby studying a group of disabled college studentswas used to illustrate the problems of locatingsubjects and securing records. Recommendationsto ameliorate the barriers were made.

This study presents an outline of a graphi-cal procedure for classifying multivariate ob-servations into two or more groups. For purposesof exposition, it was assumed that there were twogroups of equal size. However, the procedurecould be generalized to three or more groups of un-equal size. The advantage of a graphical pro-cedure is that the magnitude of differences amongand within groups can be easily visualized.

MMPI characteristics of alcoholic males who arewell and poorly adjusted in marriage. Journal ofClinical Psychology, 1967, 23, 355-360.
The MMPI was administered to 521 male alcoho-lics. Alcoholics who were better adjusted totheir marriage were seen as less unstable, im-mature, suspicious, depressed, withdrawn, erratic,and anxious and had superior ego strength. Factoranalysis of the correlation matrices of the MMPIscales for three groups were carried out: welladjusted in their marriage, poorly adjusted, anda middle group. Four factors appeared consistentlyin all three analyses. Five MMPI variables, Es,L, A, Hy, and Si, contributed to differentiating
37
among the groups when a discriminant analysis was
conducted. However, only 46 percent of the sam-
ple from which the equations were derived could
be correctly identified.

The study attempted to determine if the mean
MMPI profiles of the parents of six child diag-
nostic groups were significantly different from
each other. The parents were grouped according
to the diagnoses of their children. Separate
analyses were made for the mothers of males,
mothers of females, fathers of males, and fathers
of females. An overall multivariate test of the
differences in the parents' mean MMPI profiles
38
for each of the samples indicated significantdifferences in parent profiles only for themothers of male children. However, the differ-ence for this analysis was not sufficient to helpthe clinician in distinguishing between parentsof normal and clinic groups of children or amongthe parents of several diagnostic groups of clinicchildren.
