Until recently most of the research on college student protest of the 1960's has taken either a political socialization or cultural-historical perspective. The research reported here takes an organizational perspective with the expectation that an examination of student protest should contribute to a theory of organizations. Two classes of…

The author states that consultants generally pursue two goals: establishing communication with the consultee and helping the consultee to become a more effective problem solver. Consistent with these goals for the psychological school consultant are personal construct theory and attribution theory. Personal constructs refer to the dimensions, both…

This annotated bibliography covers documents concerning behavioral objectives. Many of the annotations are more lengthy than usual in order to help local school personnel decide which documents will best suit their needs. The four divisions of documents include: how-do-do-it publications, issues relating to the objectives-evaluative movement,…

A model for dealing with ordinary, cortically-mediated behaviors is presented. The model's foundation is the set of motivational systems existing in the mature organism. Construction of the model follows the stimulus-response paradigm as interpreted by recent physiological research. The purpose of the model is that it requires a multivariate…

THE SIX PAPERS COLLECTED IN THIS REPORT DEAL WITH THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL EFFORTS IN RESEARCH ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SELF-CONCEPT. THE THREE THEORETICAL PAPERS EXTEND THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED BY THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS IN THEIR EARLIER WORK AND ALSO CALL ATTENTION TO AND ELABORATE UPON FUNDAMENTAL SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL…

Interpretations of the rise of sociology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe, concentrating on Emile Durkheim and Max Weber, are reviewed. (Author/DE)

Describes recent neurophysical theories regarding the different functions of the brain's left hemisphere (linear, time-oriented, rational, and analytic) and right hemisphere (intuitive, artistic, and creative) and discusses their implications for management science. (Available from Office of Publications, Graduate School of Business…

Herbert Spencer's theories of social evolution are examined. Spencer's growing contemporary relevance is emphasized. (DE)

Statistical analysis of the data in this research project indicates that neither the physical, emotional, nor intellectual cycles can be used to predict suicide behavior and also that biorhythms are influenced by environmental variations. (DS)

The author presents a practical application of behavioral theory, directed toward faculty motivation, involving organizational change, goal development, inservice education, academic planning, and teacher evaluation. (MJB)

The author examines three phenomena--the inconclusiveness about the nature of intelligence and how to deal with it, the supplanting of learning theory by behavior modification, and the rise of human technology--and argues that a confluence of ethological theory applied in the human context may provide a coherent theoretical picture of…

There are some important similarities between biological and societal evolution, but these similarities should not blind the enormous differences between them. Each system must be analyzed on its own merits and according to its own peculiar properties and principles. (Author/AM)

There is no clearly defined, universally accepted evolutionary theory that social anthropologists must accept. There has been great progress in the understanding of genetic mechanisms, but there are still major controversies. The most fundamental problem comes from postulating genes to account for behaviors. (Author/AM)

Moral education is seen as being concerned with three concepts (good/bad, praise/blame, right/wrong) from which Kohlberg's stages of moral development addresses only the second. (MJB)

Procedures are proposed for increasing the accuracy of generalization assessment in applied behavior analysis with behavior problem populations by accounting for the degree of natural covariation between treated and untreated behaviors. (Author/DB)
