Abstract
This study investigated differences between graduating seniors in two types of nursing programs—baccalaureate and associate degree—in self-actualization as measured by the Personal Orientation Inventory. The data were analyzed using t tests for the two major scales and by a repeated measures analysis of variance for the 10 sub-scales. The repeated measures model was used since many items appear in more than one scale. Baccalaureate graduates' mean scores were higher on all scales. Significant differences (p ≤.05 ≤.001) were found in one major scale and seven subscales. All factors which earlier research associated with leadership showed a significant difference.
