Subjects were asked to decide if a pair of visually presented letter strings were both words (lexical decision task). Results supported an automatic spread of excitation model of associative facilitation. (Editor/RK)

Investigates the properties affecting the time taken to read individual words and to discriminate between words and non-words. (Editor/RK)

Does measurement of intelligence through a concolidated score imply that two or more subjects obtaining the same score are also undergoing the same mental process? Introverts are supposed to opt for accuracy and extraverts for speed. Attempts to investigate the qualitative differences between extraverts and introverts on an intelligence test.…

The major experimental question, does the double-bind produce anxiety, was asked in the context of the double-bind unit, rather than the more complicated double-bind process, i.e., as it affects one person rather than as it affects both parties involved in a mutual interaction. (Author/RK)

A nonpsychotic experimental psychologist presents a self-report of several highly organized visual, auditory, and kinesthetic hallucinations that occurred during a 3-day period prior to spinal disc surgery. Probable factors related to the production of the phenomena are described and the relation between hallucination and diagnosis is briefly…

Attempts to reevaluate Beall and Panton's MMPI escape scale on what presumably would be a more appropriate escapee sample than that used in previous studies. This would help to determine whether a revision of this escape scale should be undertaken. (Author/RK)

Investigates the use of the MMPI to discriminate volunteers who would become active hotline workers from those who would drop out during or shortly after training. (Author/RK)

This study attempted to remedy the inadequate control procedures of Hammer's research and to answer the logical question as to applicability of the HTP scoring norms to black Ss. (Author/RK)

Investigates the prediction that the usual superiority of pictures over words for repetitions of the same items would disappear for items that were different instances of repeated categories. (Author/RK)

The proposition that actors favor environmental attribution and observers personal attribution was investigated. Psychology students attributed causality from two perspectives for verbally-described behaviors. It was concluded that motivational considerations mediated actor-observer differences and that perspective differences represent a…

Two experiments were carried out in order to test the effects of task sequence on the speed of rule learning and problem solving. Experiment I involved numerical rule-learning tasks and Experiment II tested the effect of task difficulty and task precedence using problem-solving tasks. (Editor/RK)

Influence via threats was investigated in correspondent relationships (characterized by commonality of interest) and in noncorrespondent relationships (characterized by conflict of interest). The results of this research point to the existence of two qualitatively different processes of influence. (Editor/RK)

Investigates the interaction between a model's head turn and an observer's perception of being looked at, as a function of the model's visible eye. (Author/RK)

Groups of formally educated and of uneducated rural Kpelle tribesman and children were given conceptual learning problems. The finding that education proved to have no significant effect on rule learning for either a conjunctive or a disjunctive rule is interpreted as indicating that formal education exerts its influence primarily on the way in…

Presents a factor analysis of the responses of 170 Brazilian women to a Portuguese version of Rotter's I-E scale. "The analysis suggests the existence of two main independent factors, one which could be said to correspond to the original meaning intended for the scale and the other to the concept of fatalism."
