Students' Ratings of College Services and Their Scores on Handwriting Areas

Abstract

244 student volunteers rated their involvement in eight advising and counseling services at the University of Northern Colorado and gave a sample of their handwriting. On the Student Services Use Questionnaire they rated each service as to use, duration, satisfaction, and effectiveness. Eight measures of handwriting were correlated with the four sets of ratings. Values showing little or no relation to use, duration or effectiveness, but six of the eight correlations with students' satisfaction were significant. The significance was due primarily to larger ovals in nine of the handwritten letters. This enlarged aspect of handwriting may be associated with emotionally immature students.
