Abstract: The usefulness of multiple correlation as an extension of one group evaluation designs was investigated. Program participants were measured on the amount of time each spent participating in a specific activity. This information, along with selected personal variables, was used in a correlational analysis to determine the contribution of various program activities and personal variables to the measured changes on the criterion variables. It was found that multiple correlation can provide a wealth of information to decision-makers at a minimum cost. (Author/RC)
