Peer reviewedHaber, David A. – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 1978
Data from questionnaires mailed to a sample of full professors were used to test the hypothesis that as persons advance through career stages, they are granted greater latitude in, and have greater inclination for, the expression of creative research activity within a broader perspective. Support was found for this hypothesis. (Author)

Ingison, Lind J.; Levin, Joel R. – 1974
Two experiments investigated the role of children's spontaneous conceptual "biases" in pictorial discrimination learning. The results suggested that such biases may serve either to facilitate or to interfere with discrimination learning. Moreover, in each experiment, age by treatment interactions revealed that in comparison to the behavior of…

Peer reviewedOver, Ray – Higher Education, 1982
In a study of British university psychologists' publishing rates, publications in 1968-70 and 1978-80 were compared across groups of different ages. In both periods, faculty over age 45 published less, and those holding appointments in both periods published less in the latter despite age. However, considerable variability was found within groups.…

Peer reviewedKucharski, L. Thomas – Journal of Gerontology, 1979
Responses of 60 physicians to a questionnaire describing patients with obvious psychiatric symptoms were analyzed. Findings indicated that a physician's decision to refer patients for psychological assistance may be influenced unduly by patient's age. Old patients were referred significantly less often than younger patients with identical…

Thorson, James A.; Perkins, Mark – 1977
A death anxiety scale developed in 1973 by Nehrke was administered to 655 adult subjects. Their responses were differentiated according to age, sex, race, and level of education. Data were also analyzed using the varimax rotated factor matrix procedure to determine significant factors that the scale was, in fact, measuring. Loadings on four…

Cowart, Debra; And Others – 1978
Changes in the perception of figural aftereffects occurring during adulthood were investigated with 56 female subjects. A significant linear trend analysis indicated that the magnitude of the figural aftereffects increased very slightly with age. This was supported by a significant T value which suggested a difference between the two extreme age…

Luszcz, Mary A. – 1976
Recognition memory of components of complex pictures was assessed developmentally for kindergarteners, third and sixth graders, and college students. It was assumed that the relations among items in multi-component line drawings are constrained by at least two organizational dimensions, structure and content, which influence retention of pictured…

Mezei, Louis L. – 1973
Thirteen groups of 11-19 year old boys, stratified by age, race, socio-economic class, and attendance of racially segregated or integrated schools served as subjects (N=185). Measures of the relative importance of the past, present, and future were derived from a story completion and story productions. Attitudes toward the three time divisions…

Cox, Gloria; Paris, Scott G. – 1976
This series of studies was concerned with developmental changes in memory organization. Denney & Ziobrowski's (1972) "complementary-similarity" shift with age in the bases of encoding for memory was investigated with two new paradigms which assessed memory performance for the same stimulus materials within the same subjects. No evidence was found…
