training for the unemployed. Australian Journal of Psychology, 55(2), 104-113. Differential benefits of training 1 This study examined the connection between background variables (such as length of unemployment and number of previous training courses), contextual variables (perceptions of training climate), dispositional variables (positive affect and negative affect), and psychological outcomes for unemployed trainees who attended either a five week occupational skills training program (control group) or the same five week program with an additional two day intervention before the start of the program (treatment group). The trainees in both the treatment and control conditions were found to reduce their levels of psychological distress over the course of a five-week training program. Trainees in the treatment condition who started with the lowest levels of general self-efficacy and the highest levels of psychological distress showed the greatest improvements at time 2 (T2). The measures of length of unemployment, number of previous training courses, and the perceptions of the training climate (with

Man's presence i n Tasmania during the Pleistocene was recently demonstrated by a radiocarbon date of 18,550 + 600 BP (ANU-1361) from Cave Bay Cave, Hunter Island (Bowdler 1974a, b). Further excavation was carr ied out a t t h i s s i t e during January and February of t h i s year, and more radiocarbon da tes a r e t o hand. The archaeological sequence suggested before has been considerably c l a r i f i ed, and the new dates extend the an t iqu i ty of man i n the region by some 4,000 years. The s i t e is large and, of a s e r i e s of trenches, t ha t located nearest the centre of the cave (Trench V) most c lea r ly exhibits the s a l i en t features of i ts his tory. This cu t t ing w a s 2 m X 2 m i n area, and was excavated t o a depth of a l i t t l e over 2 m. Pleistocene layers were again recognised by non-island fauna1 remains, characterising the 'Hunter H i l l on Bass Plain ' period of lowered sea l eve l (Bowdler 1974a:7-8). The topmost

Education is considered to be one of the most important activities children, adolescents, and adults will ever engage in during one’s lifetime. Not only does education, particularly higher education, prepare an individual for a professional career (which is seen as its main tenet in today’s world), it is also designed for personal, civic, and cultural development.1 Research has demonstrated the more education (and based on degree type) an individual acquires the greater potential he or she has for future professional and financial success and stability1-3 while acquiring knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary for active participation within the community and home.1 In fact, for males who obtain a college education (undergraduate degree), the difference in the lifetime payoff is $367,000 (highest gross-earnings payoff among the nations studied), while the payoff for females is $229,000.2 The educational process should actively promote scholarly inquiry, critical-thinking and practical application of knowledge and skills
