Non-Cognitive Factors As Predictors of Success in Examinations During Stage 1 of 1st Level Nurse Training

[摘要] The purpose of the study was to determine whether specific non-cognitive factors could be identified which could act as predictors of high/low performance in examinations during Stage 1 of 1st level nurse training. The specific non-cognitive factors examined were: motives for choosing nursing; personality characteristics measured using Cattell's 16 PF Questionnaire (Form A); family and scholastic background; study patterns and attitudes; and vocational preferences measured using Kuder's Vocational Preference Record (Form G/E).
