Both observational techniques indicated similar findings in age-related behavior changes. Continuous-recording yielded a more molecular analysis and was concluded to be more desirable for collecting naturalistic observation data. (ST)

Studying short-term effects of three environmental variables in combination showed a three-way interaction, supporting the interpretation that environmental variables can often be better understood in terms of their complex arrangement with other variables. Need for study of behaviors occurring long after an individual leaves a particular…

Using basic learning theory the S-R behaviorial approach to the formation of attitudes defines an attitude in terms of a conditioned anticipatory implicit response to a stimulus object. Described in this study is a model used to investigate observational learning of attitudes in a laboratory situation. (SM)

Conception of science and technology as servants'' of mankind has led mankind to believe that all problems can be solved by use of technology. However, many social, ecological, and psychological problems are results of imbalanced technological development. A future need is to discover a new equilibrium between science and its social effects. (PS)

This study attempted to determine the influences on voting behavior of 18 or 19 year old college students voting for the first time and of older college students who had been eligible to vote in a previous election. Parental voting behavior was not related to the voting of the students. (JB)

Although past experience may operate to produce an initial increase in undesired behaviors during behavior modification procedures, the data of the present study demonstrate that these behaviors will decrease if the model is not abandoned at the point when the behavior appears to be getting worse rather than better.

Article reviews evidence on the effects of contrast and matching, that these effects are related, and that both effects are reactions to the same independent variable. (Author/RK)
