Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure the learning independence of third-grade students and to determine the relationships between the independence measure and the student variables which follow: reading performance, intelligence, sex, educational level of mother, and income level of parents. Another purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between personality traits of teachers and two variables: Learning Independence Scale (LIS) scores assigned to students by the teachers and reading scores obtained by students on a standardized reading test. The subjects were 187 third-grade students and eight classroom teachers. Students were rated by their teachers on 23 indicators of independence. The classroom teachers were administered a personality profile. Demographic data obtained from school records included IQ, sex, educational level of mother, income level of parents, and reading scale score from the California Achievement Test.
