Abstract

Summary A study was conducted of the relationships between pupil needs, environmental press, and pupil attitudes to various aspects of a high school physics course. The use of data derived from Ss to yield measures of both needs and press assumes that these measures are independent: i.e., that projection does not play a significant role in determining Ss' responses to press items. The technique used by Stern to investigate projection effects is criticized, and an alternative procedure, employing within-class correlations, is proposed.
