Male and female college students wrote stories about Anne or John in success or failure situations. Analysis showed that fewer men than women anticipate negative results of female success.

The issue of maintenance of changes in behavior produced by token programs is unquestionably important. This paper raises methodological considerations relating to the evaluation of such maintenance and offers suggestions for appropriate methodology. (Author)

Describes large scale experiments to test the value of index term weighting based on relevance information, and presents results showing that weighting leads to remarkable improvements in retrieval performance. (Author/CWM)

The article presents an interview with Heckelman, senior clinical psychologist with the Riverside County Califonia Children's Mental Health Department, on successful remediation of learning disabilities. Topics discussed include the relationship between success of remedial techniques and lateral dominance, the neurological impress method, the…

The effects of the DECIDE (Darmstadt Enterprise for Career and Individual Development) program of vocational instruction on academic achievement was studied with approximately 32 mildly mentally retarded junior high school students in two groups (experimental and control). (PHR)

Test results from a motor skill competition indicated that both girls and boys have a tendency to accept the stereotype of males' superiority in sport ability. (JD)

A multivariate post hoc procedure (the Roy-Bose procedure) which allows for the construction of an infinite number of confidence intervals or probability statements concerning the p variables, all of which hold at a 100(1-a) percent level of confidence, is demonstrated and compared to other procedures. (JD)

Discusses new evaluation procedures developed for the Gregg Office Job Training Program. In part 1, the student is evaluated and graded on performance of a specific job. In part 2, the student is graded on 10 areas of job performance, and in part 3, the student writes a brief job description. (CT)

Describes a "valence instrumentality expectancy" (VIE) questionnaire designed to measure university students' motivation to perform in an organizational psychology class.

When 106 second-grade children were tested for simple computation ability in various conditions of induced physical exertion (no exertion v 20, 30, 40, or 50 minutes of activity), significantly higher scores were observed after the 50-minute treatment, and no significant differences were noted between male and female scores. (Author/RL)

Testing of physical education majors supports hypotheses that: (1) groups having the greatest number of gains in performance of a motor task develop a more positive attitude toward the task, and (2) groups having the greatest number of performance gains in successive trials will show the greatest change in already formed attitudes.

Training for distance running over a long period produces meaningful changes in the running mechanics of experienced runners, as revealed in this longitudinal study of the biomechanical components of stride length, stride rate, stride time, and support and nonsupport time. (MB)

Contradictions in post research on the concepts of "cohesiveness" and team success seem to arise from the ways in which cohesiveness is measured and the nature of the teams investigated in each study. (MB)
