Develops a working model of the communication process which corresponds to the ego states of transactional analysis and attempts to discern effects of personality systems on the encoding and decoding process of individuals. (MH)

This article integrates the literature on group interaction process analysis and group learning, providing a framework for understanding how patterns of interaction develop. The model proposes how adaptive, generative, and transformative learning processes evolve and vary in their functionality. Environmental triggers for learning, the group's…

Experiments in bilingual education in Europe increasingly appear under the abbreviation "CLIL" (Content and Language Integrated Learning). The main concept in it seems to be that of integration, as yet little described in research and insufficiently made conscious and explicit in the teaching process. This paper aims at studying the…

This report presents an analysis of an expert performing a highly interactive computer task. The analysis uses GOMS models, specifying the Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules used by the expert; the GOMS models are implemented within a unified theory of cognition called Soar. Two models are presented, one with function-level operators,…

This paper analyzes the effect on performance when several active processes compete for limited processing resources. The principles discussed show that conclusions about the interactions among psychological processes must be made with caution, and some existing assumptions may be unwarranted. (Author/BJG)

Part 1 reviews comparative instructional effectiveness studies. Part 2 discusses the Trait-Treatment Interaction Approach (TTI) which is…

The purpose of this study was to develop paradigms of verbal interaction for problem solving discussions. Taking selected definitions from previously published work, categories were built which classify verbal moves. Using the categories, models of verbal interaction were built which subsumed such verbal interaction concepts as the venture, move,…

This study uses two methods of analysis to examine the degree to which items within the cells of the Hill Interaction Matrix correlate. It is found that the table of specifications does not hold up. But the author recommends caution in interpreting this finding. (Author/BP)

Attempts to extend and to synthesize interactional, psychoanalytic, and learning theories as they might apply to the family. Highlights complexities of family interaction as they relate to parent child differences, to mate selection, and to marriage.

An application of the Interrupted Time-Series, a quasi-experimental research design, in the sociology of law (law and social change). The effects of British Road Safety Act of 1967, concerning drinking and driving, were analyzed. (SE)

The effect of a model on subjects' willingness to engage in self-disclosure was examined in both laboratory and nonlaboratory settings. Disclosure levels did not differ in the two settings. Subjects not exposed to a model were more willing to engage in disclosure in the laboratory than in a nonlaboratory setting. (Author)

Presents and applies a self-validation model and topology of transactional relationships for use in the selection of concepts and skills in the study of interpersonal communication. (MH)
