Crisis centers (N=2) had statistics of callers identified by race. Findings indicate differences between the white and black callers with regard to age, marital status, and type of problem. This kind of information suggests a need for expanded services within the crisis enter center framework, possibly for a more preventive approach. (Author)

Worker and caller behaviors are studied and compared in sample of 100 suicide calls to three crisis intervention centers. Verbal behaviors of workers and callers are substantially different, leading to the conclusion that crisis intervention is dissimilarly practiced between centers but similar within them. (Author)

Females (N=8) were tested in an experiment measuring maximal work capacity and energy expended under varying conditions in an eight hour day of strenuous work. Energy expended exceeded that required for most physically demanding occupations. (Author)

Adult males (N=90) ages 25 to 58 were individually tested with three cognitive style measures. Error scores on the MFF (Matching Familiar Figures Test) are a better predictor of test performance than are latencies.

Evidence suggests the frequency with which family therapists trained in the dynamic interactional approach use interpretation might predict their success with families otherwise likely to terminate treatment…

Two studies were performed comparing the effectiveness of fixed-ratio (FR) and variable-ratio (VR) schedules of punishment during application and extinction. Subjects were two young children. Both studies found significant positive "side effects" of punishment in terms of increased play and social behavior as well as increased performance of…
