The author thanks the following persons for their assistance and guidance in conducting this research. Professors Guy Adams at the University of Missouri, April Hejka-Ekins at California State University-Stanislus, Dalton S. Lee at San Diego State University, and Vera Vogelsang-Coombs at Cleveland State University were kind enough to review early drafts of the questionnaire. Their criticisms aided immensely in the preparation of the final instrument.

The author is also pleased to acknowledge the financial support of the Research and Creative Scholarship Grant Program of the University of South Florida. Thanks are also due to the NASPAA representatives who gave generously of their time to respond to the questionnaire. The author assumes sole responsibility for all errors of omission or commission.
