Determined Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) characteristics' association with binge-eating severity among obese women.

Argues that the concepts "career" and "dual-career marriage" are loosely defined in the literature, hindering the comparability of findings and accumulation of scientific knowledge. Supports this assertion with a review of recent articles. Finds sociological and psychological levels of analysis not clearly differentiated, with researchers assuming…

Unnecessary polarization between research traditions (basic vs. applied, experimental vs. correlational, and laboratory vs. field research) has resulted in extreme, nonproductive conflict between experimental rigor and policy relevance. The analogue model (described) grounds experimental studies in social problems without losing the unique…

Despite growing numbers of psychologists and of research reports presented at APA conventions and in core psychology journals, relatively few changes have occurred in the type of information presented. The stability of these media relates to quality control and the discouragement of rapid change in the discipline. (Author/GC)

From analyses of the production and comprehension of prenominal adjectives, it is argued that processing strategies for syntax are not qualitatively different from other cognitive processing strategies. (Editor)

The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the d' measure of detection theory can be adapted to index the sensitivity of some subject group to the signal properties of social situations that convey information about reinforcement contingencies. (Author)

The present research deals with the PRP effect as it occurs in a task involving response uncertainty that must be resolved on the basis of a decoding of each signal. (Author)

The present study was designed to test the effect of instructions to forget prior motor learning and the results were relevant to the understanding of short-term motor memory (STMM) proactive interference (PI). (Author/RK)

The present research involved the free-recall transfer paradigm where some subjects have had prior experience with a part of the test list while others have not. (Author)

We stand by our original conclusion that for a developmental analysis, upright orientation should not be inferred from judged upside down orientation with a binary vertical method. We believe that our more general procedures are more appropriate for research on orientation and form perception. (Author)

The present study provided an opportunity to assess various theoretical viewpoints on recall through the study of multiple-associate learning using 4-word lists or tetrads. (Author/RK)
