Frederick A. Mote (1907-1982).

This obituary describes the career and contributions to psychology of Frederick A. Mote, PhD. Dr. Mote received his PhD from Brown University, where he returned from teaching psychology at the University of Connecticut to work on a National Defense Research Council contract until the end of World War II. In his position as senior psychophysiologist he was involved in development of new selection and classification tests for navy personnel, as well as with research on application of stereoscopic perception in design of equipment for navy operators. During these years he was also doing fundamental research on the role of reinforcement in acquisition and extinction of simple instrumental responses in animals--research which eventuated in a series of publications, some with his colleague and good friend, Frank Finger. After the war, Dr. Mote reentered academic teaching where he was promoted to professor at the University of Wisconsin in 1952 and conducted studies on determinants of dark adaptation in human vision. In 1955, Dr. Mote became chair of the Psychology Department, and served through 1959. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Evaluating Vocational Interventions: A Tale of Two Career Development Seminars.

Formal evaluation of two career development seminars was conducted to determine what kind of vocational interventions were helping what kind of people. Students experienced a wide variety of vocational treatments (e.g., standardized inventories, workbooks, writing exercises, discussions, individual counseling) and were asked to rate the helpfulness of each vocational intervention. No interactions between characteristics of students and treatment ratings were found, but an overall main effect of all treatments on raising students' level of vocational identity was found. Suggestions are made for improving the management and evaluation of career development seminars. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

失地农民培训评价体系的思考

失地农民培训的评价过程中。政府,学校和失地农民时培训存在各执一端的非理性认识,同时彼此缺少交流,导致培训的评价有待于进一步完善。本文立足于对上海市某市的调查研究,尝试对进一步完善培训评价体系进行思考,提出政府对培训的数量和质量进行条件评价。学校从培训的经济和社会效益出发,评价培训的过程。失地农民侧重培训的近期和潜在效益,评价培训的绩效。最终建立一个三方相互合作与制约的立体链评价体系。
