The Cycles Surveys

Longitudinal Indicators of the Quality of Student Life and a Framework for Evaluation and Administrative Experimentation

Berkeley, California and Amherst, Massachusetts

A set of quality of student life indicators, the Cycles Survey, is described. It was developed to provide a low cost, quality institutional research program capable of longitudinal re search, continuous broad bandwidth monitoring, and data comparisons with other insti tutions. The development of the 50 questions and the form and format of the survey is pre sented. Test-retest reliabilities of the questions of the survey were found to be good. The Cycles instrument is multidimensional without dominant evaluative, halo, or response- effect factors. Some uses of Cycles data are presented. It is suggested that Cycles surveys will be useful at other colleges and universities, as well as to business, government, and health institutions.
