The present study presents empirical information regarding the relationship between several methods of assessing proxemic behavior. Information was collated and evaluated with respect to four methods of measuring proxemic behavior: in vivo participation, observation of live actors, felt-board placements, and preferential response to photographs.…

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of fantasy aggression on blood pressure, affective states, and probability of subsequent aggression. The results are inconclusive because of the limited range of fantasy stimuli used and the short amount of time allowed for aggression to occur. (Author/KM)

A factorial design was utilized to investigate the effects of race on expressers and perceivers on the perception of seven emotions. Overall results indicated significant effects. (DM)

The interpersonal behaviors of depressed and control Ss were compared. The results were generally consistent in showing depressed Ss to be lower than controls on a number of operational measures of social skill (i.e., activity level, interpersonal range, rate of positive reactions emitted, and action latency).

Second, the higher scorer on this predictive pattern is a complex individual, ambivalent in his relationships to others, and characterized by both nurturant and antinurturant…

The results of the tests of the major hypotheses, that there would be positive interrelationships among programmed case accuracy, A''ness on the A-B scale, and the measures of role taking accuracy, indicate that the correlations were in the predicted direction though modest in magnitude. (Author)

Nonrecognition of the discrepancy between obvious and subtle items of the MMPI and failure to respond differentially to them were found to be significantly related in both normal and psychiatric sample groups. (Author)

In keeping with a learning theory approach, it is postulated that fear of examinations was a learned maladaptive pattern of behavior. Therefore, counter-conditioning through progressive relaxation and systematic desensitization was utilized to eliminate the maladaptive response in this case. (Author)

For both boys and girls, all adolescent effects are reversals of significant preadolescent effects. These reversals, predictive of adult health, can be commonly described as a change from a relatively tension-free or conflict-free preadolescence to a reactive and stressful adolescence. (Author)
