Investigates the relationship between the annual variations in United States suicide rates during the years 1966 to 1973 and the concomitant annual variations in the I-E scores obtained by United States college students. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this research was to see which specific techniques Albert Ellis, the founder of the school of therapy known as Rational Emotive Therapy, uses during an initial therapy session and also to see what percentage of time each technique was utilized. (Author)

This study investigated the relationship between sex guilt and drug preferences. Seventy polydrug users completed a drug preference inventory and the Mosher Forced-Choice Sex Guilt Subscale. Results indicated that individuals who prefer sedatives are higher in sex guilt than either individuals who prefer stimulants or individuals with no definite…

Attempts to demonstrate that depressed individuals, as compared with nondepressed, exhibit characteristic patterns of response to feedback that may reflect biases in their evaluations and interpretations of self, situation, and the future. (Author/RK)

A series of experiments demonstrate that (a) temporal and spatial structures may be coded independently of one another, (b) linguistic materials lead to temporal superiority whereas pictorial forms give rise to temporal/spatial equality, (c) imposed encoding strategies do not influence the above patterns, and (d) imaginal processing does not…

The absolute normal scores test is described as a test for the symmetry of a distribution of scores about a location parameter. The test is compared to the sign test and the Wilcoxon test as an alternative to the "t"-test. (Editor/RK)

Investigates the resolution of inconsistent attitude communications by schizophrenic patients as compared to a matched group of normal subjects. Twelve inconsistent messages served as the experimental stimuli. Some general guidelines for the practicing therapist and implications for double-bind theory are discussed. (Editor/RK)

Tests Wolpe's prediction that autonomic sexual and anxiety arousal states are mutually inhibitory. Results suggest that the way these states interact with each other may depend on the context in which subjects perceive the stimuli that generate these respective arousal states. (Editor/RK)

Names of cities were shock associated and then embedded in material presented to the nonattended channel in a dichotic listening and shadowing situation. A test for conditioning followed the dichotic listening task. Comparisons are made with other studies of galvanic skin responses to unattended words. (Editor/RK)

The Subject-Verb-Object (S-V-O) approach to social cognition was used to study some traditional balance theory problems and several additional problems as well. (Editor)

If intentional forgetting is to be understood, research must focus on the specification of exactly how memory search and decision processes are altered when a subject is instructed to forget. This research addresses that problem. (Author/RK)

It is a common assumption that memories consist of sets of interrelated features of attributes. Rigorous and direct investigation of the functional properties of these sets has been relatively neglected. Questions whether the interrelationships of different components are reflexive or asymmetric and how components interact when more than one is…

Investigates the effects of actors' expectancies about the outcome of an event (positive or negative) and observation of the actual outcome (positive or negative) while in a state of high or low objective self-awareness upon attribution of causality for the outcome. (Author/RK)

Assesses the effects of both role and behavioral respectability upon subjects' observer and perceived actor attributions. One of two descriptions of the actor's behavioral history (High or Low Behavioral Respectability) and one of three descriptions of his current role position (High, Medium, or Low Role Respectability) were given to each subject…

Tests the hypotheses that a brief clinical test of the frontal lobe system (FLS) maturity levels, designated as Stages I, II, III, IV, can differentiate between three experimental groups (all of age 9-16): normal Ss, Ss with emotional problems, and juvenile delinquents. (Author/RK)
