Forty female subjects were given intermittent options to transmit noncontingent promises of intent to cooperate during the course of a mixed-motive laboratory game. In a 2 x 2 experimental design, a robot target either reciprocated subjects' promise statements or concealed her behavioral intentions, and was either always cooperative or always…

Different approaches to using computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in teaching geography are presented in this collection of papers. The first paper overviews the use of computers in undergraduate instruction. Next is a paper on a program at the University of Iowa which was designed to introduce students to some of the basic principles associated…

A theoretical framework for the study of sport sociology is provided in this text. It is intended for students of sport, arts and humanities, sociology, and social psychology. Sport and social organization are discussed first. Three models of societies and six theories of social organization are presented which form the basis of the eclectic…

Describes a game that can be used in advanced English (FL) classes, and offers suggestions for successful play. The game is a more complex form of "Twenty Question". (IFS/WGA)

This article reports a simulation at Sangamon State University, "Orientation SSU Style," used for the orientation of new students. (HB)

A game is described that is designed to give students practice with operations on integers. The rules can easily be changed to provide more (or less) challenging situations. (MP)

"The Capital Kid" is a cowboy persona used by the author when she teaches capitalization skills. Her teaching style and the games used are described. (SJL)

The "Reciprocity" simulation game results in players' learning how social structures (roles and resources) influence social interaction (degree of fair exchange between partners). Variations of "Reciprocity" can be used to teach the dynamics of conflict/exchange/power in the context of pre-marital, marital, parental or counselor-client…

This game involves one player guessing the numbers and operations of an equation written down by another player. (MP)

The mathematics involved in a computer solution of a well-known board puzzle is discussed. The BASIC program is given. (MP)

Predicts that the use of simulation games will again pick up momentum and will earn deserved recognition as an instructional technique. This is because it has come to be evaluated in appropriate ways and because it is linked directly to computers, and more specifically, microcomputers. (VT)

A game for the HP-25 programable calculator is discussed. The objectives of the game are to introduce angle measurement and the rudiments of trigonometry. A program for the game is given. (MP)

The heretofore implicit model underlying SIMSOC is made explicit through a comparison of the 1978 and 1972 versions of the simulation game. The more sophisticated 1978 game edition contains improvements over the earlier edition in the options for personal goals. (CMV)

The process by which the computer simulation game KINGDOM was designed, is described, as well as other programs ( RAMSES, PLAYER, and MASTER) which were subsequently developed to simulate various human strategies for playing the game. Rules for playing KINGDOM and a sample print-out are included. (CMV)
