Illustrations from the materials are given, some designed to help students explore theoretical controversies; others to deal with substantive social issues and problems. (Author/RF)

The relationship was studied in terms of Fishbein's model of attitude structure. In general, the results suggested that the relationship between affect and cognition is more complex than previously thought. (Author/SD)
