The author cites examples of exploitation of the Black Community by researchers and proposes strategies for its elimination. (RWP)

A random sample of university students was interviewed concerning illicit psychotropic drug use and administered the Personality Research Form. Univariate and multivariate analyses strongly supported the hypothesis that nonusers, moderate users, and heavy users of illicit drugs differ in personality characteristics. (Author)

A question and answer interview with Dr. Robert Selman gives an idea of some of the research developments in the field of human development. (GB)

This article relates systematic causality to applications in behavior theory, counseling practice, and counseling research. The paper was presented at the American Educational Research Association Convention, Chicago, 1972. (JC)

A review of current issues in the literature discloses the increasing prominence of multivariate analysis and a reconsideration and adjustment of traditional personnel practices. (WM)

By extending Fiedler's conception of leader orientation, it was hypothesized that groups led by trainers oriented toward the group members most liked by their group are more effective-in terms of member satisfaction and achievement of group goals-than group trainers oriented toward least-liked members of their group. This hypothesis was tested by…

Seventh-grade boys were assessed for moral judgment with the Kohlberg interview technique; role taking, stage misture, intelligence, socioeconomic status, and social desirability were also assessed. Half were assigned to moral reasoning one stage above initial stage. Subjects at the preconventional level shifted upward more than subjects at the…

A series of urban and highway litter experiments in Richmond (Virginia), St. Louis, and Philadelphia indicated well-designed litter cans reduced littering about 15 percent along city streets and nearly 30 percent along highways. Also, the propensity to litter is critically affected by the characteristics of the individual and environmental…

It is shown that in the special case of just two criterion groups the predictor variables may be equivalently ordered (with respect to contribution to prediction or discrimination) by the univariate F-ratios and by estimates of the predictor versus the linear discriminant function correlations.

Expands on the concept that environmental deficiencies are symptoms of human behavior that lead to environmental degradation. Explores the question of why people behave in a manner that is destructive of the environment with a focus on values and value conflict. (LK)

This study investigated the effects of sex of perceiver, race of expressor, and mode of presentation of stimuli (Audio/visual, visual/only, audio/only, and still pictures) on perception of emotion. Emotions are most accurately perceived in audio/visual; females were superior in perception of emotions. (JB)

The purpose of this study was the development and testing of an instrument for measuring interaction behavior in small group communication. It was designed to produce valid and reliable measures for each dimension of such behavior. (Author/JB)

Because overuse is causing ecological deterioration and user dissatisfaction, a travel behavior model is needed that predicts intensity of use as a function of user characteristics, entry rates by access points, physical characteristics of the area, alternative management policies, and intervening events. The Markov renewal theory is discussed as…

Much research in the field of moral behaviour is vitiated by the prevalence among researchers of a behaviouristic conception of motivation which ignores the importance of reasons in guiding behaviour. Its is argued that this neglect is dangerous and that researchers must take more account of them if their work is to have real relevance for moral…

This response to AA 514 433 argues that the antithesis between reason and cause is not as sharp among experimental psychologists as John Wilson supposes. (Editor)
