Replication was undertaken of a recent study conducted by Buell and Anthony which had found that recidivism and posthospital employment could be predicted by a single demographic variable, number of previous hospitalizations and employment history, respectively. Results of the replication were consistent for posthospital employment but not for…

Two studies were done to investigate the effects of personality, as dichotomized along a thought-action dimension, on time perception. Results of both were similar. The high-extraversive subjects underestimated and the high-introversive subjects overestimated time. (Author)

A test was made of the hypothesis that dream salience (subjective impact of the generated dream) would be greater for frequent than infrequent dream recallers. Analysis of the verbal reports confirmed the hypothesis. (Author)
