Secondary school coeducation and the fears of success and failure : a longitudinal study. 1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26643839

These data were collected in the winter of 1978 to assess the long-term effects of secondary school coeducation. The study was performed as a follow-up of Shinn's research (see Shinn, A081), which investigated cross-sex competition by testing participants on fear of success and failure and on performance measures both before and after their school became coeducational. By retesting Shinn's participants, Zeitlin attempted to study performance and the degree to which the effects of coeducation were long-lasting. The sample consisted of 23 participants, 15 females and 8 males, who had participated in both sessions of Shinn's study. Zeitlin's participants were either seniors in college, or one or two years out of college at the time of follow-up, six years after the Shinn data were collected. Instruments administered included four verbal Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cues, an abridged version of the Alpert-Haber Achievement Test, the Generation Anagram Performance measure, the Spence Personal Attitude Scale, and an extensive questionnaire to assess background and coping variables. The Murray Center has acquired the completed instruments and the computer-accessible data. Shinn's original data on this sample are also held by the Murray Center.
