✦ Synopsis

The staff at a medium-sized urban school district cooperated in a time sampling study to determine actual role functioning as recorded by trained observers. The results generally confirm the findings of self-report studies showing 30-40% of psychologists' time spent in assessment. While the generalizability of these data is limited, the major purpose of the study was to demonstrate efficacious methodology and to serve as a heuristic model for further research.
