This investigation describes two studies that evaluated the influence of undergraduate field-placement programs, using treatment and no-treatment comparison groups who were pre- and posttested on measures of inter-and intra-personal as well as career attitudes. No consistent differences between groups were noted. The investigation pointed out the need for data-based studies and the promise of a skills-assessment approach for evaluating field-placement programs.
