Peer reviewedFarley, Frank H.; And Others – Criminal Justice and Behavior, 1979
Farley's arousal/sensation-seeking model of delinquency was tested in part on a sample of adult male institutionalized addicts. The important implications of the environment for this biological approach to delinquency were discussed, and research directions suggested. (Author)

Peer reviewedFarley, Frank H.; Sonja V. – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1972
The main experimental hypothesis of this study, that high sensation seeking subjects would be characterized by a significantly greater number of escape attempts than low sensation seeking subjects, has been strongly supported. (Author)

Altschuler, Ellen; Farley, Frank H. – 1977
This study investigates physiological arousal and overt behaviors of hyperactive children in comparison with nonhyperactive children. It was predicted from Farley's (1974) theory of hyperactivity that hyperactive children would exhibit lower arousal and a stronger stimulation-seeking motive than nonhyperactive children. Four measures of…

This study examines the effects on long-term retention of variations in intensity and temporal parameters of arousal following a single learning trial in a paired-associate task. Intensity of arousal was manipulated by using two levels of noise, 75 db. and 90 db., and a condition without noise. Noise was delivered to the 56 female university…

Farley, Frank H. – 1972
The effects of arousal on literal and inferential comprehension of text over short- and long-term retention intervals were studied using 369 elementary school children. Putative arousal manipulations were of two types: expectation and deviations from expectation as established by an advance organizer followed by text that for different…

Peer reviewedKoester, Lynne S.; Farley, Frank H. – Education, 1980
A comparison of observed classroom behavior, tonic and phasic physiological arousal level, and task performance of 98 male and female first-grade children revealed sex differences in only 3 of 18 variables. Many assumed sex differences may be negligible and teachers' expectations may influence their perceptions. (SB)

Koester, Lynne S.; Farley, Frank H. – 1980
Ninety-eight first grade children were observed and tested on measures of classroom behavior, task performance, and physiological arousal level. In general, sex differences were found to be minimal, and were significant on only three out of the eighteen variables investigated. Results indicated that males were rated by teachers and observers as…
