Analyzed choices made by researchers concerning factor model, retention criteria, rotation, interpretation of factors and other issues relevant to factor analysis. Results indicate that choices made by researchers have generally been poor and that reporting practices have not allowed for informed review, cumulation of results, or replicability.…

Dealing with the topic of negotiation, this issue discusses experimental social psychological studies on negotiating behavior, the ways that power is used in negotiation, consequences and considerations involved in choosing a negotiating strategy, mediation, the cognitive constraints to negotiation, and similarities and differences between…

Evaluates the effect of E's sex on the word association and concomitant state of physiological arousal of hospitalized schizophrenic Ss. (Author/RK)

Compares spatial with nonspatial reasoning ability within the same patients to determine whether spatial reasoning deficits in schizophrenics are specific to spatial types of tasks or are indicative of generalized reasoning difficulties. (Author/RK)

Tests the relationship between the success of psychotherapeutic efforts and the client's expectation-reality discrepancy, i.e., as the number of disconfirmed expectations increases the possibility for successful psychotherapy (positive therapy outcomes and low drop out rates) decreases. (Author/RK)

The major purpose of this investigation was to assess the concurrent validity of the French Pictorial Test of Intelligence with the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Form L-M in a moderate to severly physically disabled sample of children. (Author)

The use of recall measures conditionalized on other performance introduces the possibility of bias due to item and/or subject selection. Several possible cases are considered. (Editor)

The experiment in physics has often been pictured as an ideal for the less mature social sciences, especially by positivist philosophy of science. The thesis to be presented here is that the physical experiment as a paradigm for psychology is merely a pretext, a smoke-screen for a more fundamental and concealed technological paradigm for the study…

The study attempted to replicate previous findings of differences between self-report and physiological indices of disturbance in repressors and sensitizers placed in threatening situations. Results indicate that repressors admit to less anxiety on the self-report measure while producing more physiological reactivity to threat of shock. No such…

The interaction of the two variables, concreteness-abstractness and anxiety, while in the anticipated direction in all instances, significantly affected individual performance only on the vocabulary measure in this study. (Author)
