The present experiment attempted to restrict processing by requiring Ss to process the material either orthographically or taxonomically in a reaction time situation, which should place constraints upon additional processing. (Author)

The major premise of the current study is that subjects with high self-esteem scores plus high Marlowe-Crowne scores should show behavior patterns similar to those of low self-esteem subjects. (Author)

The primary aim of the present research was to study the inhibitory effects of self-awareness on physical aggression. A secondary aim was to determine whether an audience could successfully induce self-awareness and thereby inhibit aggression. (Author)

Presents the contrasting organismic-developmental perspective on transactions of men with their environments. Eight procedural principles are elaborated to guide studies of men-in-environment relations. These principles are then applied to the formulation of several different types of research problems and exemplified in one ongoing study.…

Study suggested that a new research orientation be followed, that is, in addition to studying to learn the investigator of memory should start to establish the empirical laws of learning to forget. (Editor/RK)

This study involves an exploratory content analysis of taped telephone calls to a suicide prevention and crisis service. The aim of the research was to discover variables that might differentiate between referrals resulting in show'' and those resulting in no show''. The relationship between this research and a crisis intervention model is…

The main purpose of the present experiment was to study whether the lack of correlation between verbal recall and accuracy of visual recognition of the same, visually presented objects in adult Ss also is characteristic of the performance of young children, or whether results supporting a differentiation hypothesis would be found. (Author)

This study examined those characteristics of a sequence to which children respond when they are presented with partially learnable sequences followed by a series of trials on which all responses are correct. (Author/RK)

Social learning theory assertions of a relationship between self-esteem status and rates of self-reinforcement were examined under differing conditions of task ambiguity in a sample of seventh-grade males and females (N=90). (Editor)

A cross-sectional, stratified random sample of 1,891 male and female adolescents (age range from 12 years 6 months to 17 years 6 months) was tested in 1970 with the Grades 9-12 form of the Primary Mental Abilities test. (Editor)

Fifteen graduate students in psychology and 15 individuals with no formal psychology training were each paid to construct one 20-item scale to measure Sociability, Achievement, or Dominance. (Author)

Study presented tasks where above-average performance earned a positive response while below average performance meant a negative response, and where the opportunity to continue in the learning process depended on chance. (Author/RK)

This article describes one experiment which tests a prediction from their explanation and another experiment which attempts to measure directly the amount of unlearning and spontaneous recovery-more generally, the availability-of competing responses. (Author)

Two concept-learning experiments using adult human Ss were carried out, the first tested prediction using a reversal shift, the second tested speed of shift learning. (Author/RK)
