California Academic achievement Grade point average Personality tests Educational tests & measurements University of California, Santa Barbara ab: The article presents a cross-validation study of the prediction of college achievement in terms of grade-point average (GPA).

There was a shrinkage in the coefficient of the correlation between predicted and obtained GPA in the experimental and cross-validation group. This difference can be attributed to the regression phenomenon, sampling errors and the influence of variables not measured by the prediction scales. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1956 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
