- The Effects of a Special Motivational Library Program on High School Students' Library Use and Attitudes. Schon, Isabel And Others Analysis of Variance High School Students High Schools Librarians Library Research School Libraries Statistical Analysis Student Attitudes Student Motivation Use Studies User Satisfaction (Information) Users (Information) A randomized experiment was performed in five high schools in which a random half of the students in a sophomore English class received a special 8-week library-oriented treatment designed to improve students' understanding of, attitudes toward, and use of the school library. The treatment was found to have a statistically significant effect on library use and library attitudes for the librarians in the study. The findings were strong enough to allow generalizability to the population of librarians for library attitudes, but not for library use, and the increase in use was much greater with some librarians than for others. There was not a measurable effect on students' reading attitudes. An unobtrusive response integrity scale indicated that differences in students' reported attitudes were not due to the social desirability response set. Statistical results are presented in two tables, and references are provided. (Author/KM)
