Two tools which can be used to evaluate quantitatively aspects of air pollution control devices are described. One is a chart measuring the effectiveness of incinerator afterburners and vapor incinerators; the other, a psychrometric graph for the humidifying and cooling of gases. Research needs are also specified. (BL)

The present study was based on the assumption that a focus on the content of the interaction process would also provide meaningful data on the relationship between family interaction and behavior disorder. (Author)

The study was designed to assess the impact of a structured communications skills workshop of self-referred clients who expressed problems in feeling uncomfortable, awkward, or isolated in their relationships with others. (Author)

The importance of talkativeness or the relative frequency of contributing to task interaction was examined as a factor which determines person perception. Quantity but not quality of task contributions was significantly related to the attribution of creativity and influence over others. (Author/JB)

Paper presents a model of the processes involved in listener response to deductive arguments. (Editor)

Differences in the rate of successive acquisition of four concepts as a result of two presentation conditions and their interaction with the learner's preferred strategy was investigated. (Authors)

Neither content of instructions nor personality characteristics are effective independently, but rather they combine to produce a rather clear-cut joint effect, with the dominant rather than the warm person's instruction being followed. (Author)

Comparison of control and experiment groups using analysis of variance and "t tests, show no significant differences on either client-initiated to client-response talk ratio, or indirect to direct counselor-influence ratio. Trend toward indirect counselor influence and more client-initiated talk observed in experimental groups. (Author/CJ)

This experiment investigates the relation between differences in strategy and performance in a variety of interaction situations. Accommodative and exploitative behavior tended to be alike in males and females. Situational variables studied included intragroup vs. integroup negotiation, three different games, and three sets of contrasting…

Experiment studied the effectiveness of social reinforcement by a model who demonstrated varying degrees of commitment to the norm of giving or social responsibility. (Authors)
