Abstract

A study was conducted to compare social behaviors of nursing students ( N = 335) enrolled in their last year study in 16 associate degree, diploma, or baccalaureate degree nursing programs. Significant differences ( P < 0·05) were found on the following seven variables among students in the three basic nursing education programs: Dominance, Responsibility, Socialization, Self-Control, Good Impression, Achievement via Conformance, and Achievement via Independence. Data are reported for post-hoc pairwise comparisons utilizing the Scheffé technique for CPI measures significant at the 0·05 level. Diploma students scored the highest on the Social Presence scale, baccalaureate degree students the highest on Responsibility, Socialization and Flexibility scales and associate degree students the highest on the remainder of the 18 CPI scales.
