Causal attributions of a person actually experiencing a success or failure (the actor) and someone who read about the situation (the observer) were compared. Results supported Jones and Nisbett (1971). (Editor)

Previous research investigating the relationship of attraction and aggression has yielded somewhat equivocal results. The present study investigated the influence of two variables, attitudinal similarity and exposure, on interpersonal attraction and physical aggression. (Editor)

Attempts to assess the effects of the mode and patterning of rehearsal on the acquisition and retention of modeled behaviors varying in organizational properties. (Author/RK)

Data consisting of 79 cognitive measures from Project TALENT for 100,000 white and black high school students were analyzed for possible race by sex interactions. (Editor/RK)

This study extends the research on being imitated by assessing its impact on the model's reward of the imitator and on the imitator's reward value relative to a juxtaposed nonimitating confederate. 48 first grade students of primarily middle socio-economic class served as subjects. (Author/RK)

Examined the utility of the aggregation method as a measure of behavioral consistency in 26 studies involving computer-generated, repeated-measurement data. Concluded that aggregation produces spuriously high estimates of behavioral consistency. The Spearman-Brown prophecy formula and coefficient alpha accurately predict the results of the…

Four experimental conflict situations having theoretical implications have been reported upon with some frequency. The purpose of this study was to compare individual differences on a common measure, response latency, in order to determine the stability of behavior across these four conflict situations using a comparative latency measure. (Editor)

The association dimension of the Picture Identification Test (PIT) was used to investigate the motivation concepts of male and female university students classified as Declared Homosexual, Sexually Uncertain, Clinical Control, and Normal Control. (Editor)

Children differing in locus of control orientation (internals, mediums, and externals) were administered an extended coding task following either a fictional rationale for the study (purpose incentive statement) or no purpose. Implications of these findings for education and child-rearing are discussed. (Editor/RK)

Data confirmed Kukla's attributional theory of performance. When a task is perceived to be difficult, high resultant achievers perform better than low resultant achievers, whereas the low motive group proves to be superior to the high group when the task is perceived as easy. (Author/RK)

Investigates the effects of situational constraint and type of causal explanation on the degree to which described behavior would be perceived as evidencing "mental illness" and the degree to which it would lead to social rejection. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the present research was to determine how experimental manipulations of certainty would affect social comparison choices in the paradigm used by Wheeler et al. (1969) and Gruder (1971). (Author)

A multitrait-multimethod strategy was used to assess eight structural properties of cognition applied to several classes of objects by 88 university students in Boulder, Colorado, United States, and 80 university students in Kyoto and Otsu, Japan. (Editor)

As no experimental study has examined the effects of congruency on attraction, the present investigation orthogonally varied attitude similarity and interpersonal congruency in order to compare the two independent variables as determinants of interpersonal attraction. (Author/RK)

The relationship between difficulty of conflict resolution and degree of avoidance was investigated in three experiments using imagery conflicts consisting of choosing to have more or less of certain personal characteristics. (Editor)
