Retention of verbal material presented in a normal linear manner was compared to retention of the same material presented in simultaneous messages for this study. The subjects were 180 undergraduates, and each was randomly assigned to one of the nine experimental groups formed by combinations of presentation--linear, two simultaneous messages, or…

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DOGMATISM ON THE PART OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AND ACCURACY OF OTHERS IN ESTIMATING THEIR LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR WAS STUDIED. THE LEADER BEHAVIOR DESCRIPTION QUESTIONNAIRE (LBDQ) AND THE ROKEACH DOGMATISM SCALE (RDS) WERE THE INSTRUMENTS USED FOR MEASUREMENT. A SAMPLE OF 24 PRINCIPALS WAS SELECTED AND ADMINISTERED THE…

Hypotheses concerning clergymen's enjoyment of their pastoral contacts with older parishioners are examined. The hypotheses test the ideas that ministers do not enjoy pastoral contacts with the elderly and that these contacts reflect the clergymen's ageist preferences and concern with instrumental over expressive values. Results are discussed.…

This paper attempts to explore the utility of applying a role-stress perspective to the analysis of psychopathological symptoms among a nonclinical population of Cuban adolescent immigrants. (Author)

In speech perception, the distinction between stop consonants and glides such as (b) versus (w) and (g) versus (j) can be signaled by variations in the rate and duration of the formant transitions. These experiments attempted to determine whether this rate and duration information is processed by a unitary analyzer for both labial ([b]-[w]) and…

The purpose of the present work was to investigate the relation between pattern goodness and accuracy of reproduction in backward masking. It may be hypothesized that good patterns, being easier to encode as wholes, will be reproduced more easily than poorer patterns. Four experiments were performed. (Author)

In this article the authors examined three broad models for the congruity effect and tested them in a verification task. In so doing they attempted to learn something new about perceptual codes and perceptual judgments. (Author/RK)

The present experiment was intended as a further elaboration of the effects of nonphysically aversive stimulation on subsequent performance, in order to determine the applicability of the helplessness model to the human subject. (Author)

This model depicts communication situations in which each participant experiences a conception of self and another's experience of that conception. Confirmation or disconfirmation of these experiences is called self-validation. The model suggests that supervisors should initiate the use of four interpersonal skills during employee evaluation.…

This study indicates that it is possible to define and demonstrate the relevance of a number of nonverbal cues that can be used as raters or reasons for assessment of teacher behavior. Findings indicate a major difference in the order and relevance of predictors used. (JMF)

People perceive the disabled as quite different from the ablebodied in personality characteristics and attitudes. Present research examined whether these perceptions are affected by contact with the disabled. Results suggest that only when very extensive and intimate contact occurs are disabled seen as fairly similar to the ablebodied. (Author)

In order to determine whether tactile perception is a useful predictor of academic performance, 50 control and 42 brain impaired (epileptic) children (ages 9-14 years) were examined. (Author/PHR)
