This study is concerned with how different modes of attention influence anticipatory reactivity and, in addition to investigating initial reactivity, examines the influence of attention upon habituation. (Author/RK)

Reports on a series of four experiments designed to study the importance of the variables of task structure and method of expectancy inducement in effecting systematic observer bias. (Author/RK)

The major intent of this research was to provide a further test of the relationships between physiological arousal and event probability by experimentally generating subjective expectancies for shock. The relationship of event probability to stress was discussed with respect to length of the anticipatory periods and methods used to establish…

When a person acts bizarre, out of role, or in other extreme ways, the perceiver often attributes to that person an extreme disposition, and the attribution is made with confidence. Two experiments were conducted to investigate a modification of this analysis of attribution (Jones & Davis, 1965). (Author/RK)

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)

Two experiments demonstrated interactive effects between locus of control and expectancy confirmation-disconfirmation in determining attribution of failure. (Editor)
