Mental tests and fossils
This article investigates the origins of the intelligence test item known as the Ball and Field in Lewis M. Terman's Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale. The question was initially raised by the resemblance of paleontological ocean bed floor tracings left by ancient creatures to the responses produced by children given the Ball and Field Test. A version of the Ball and Field Test was invented by Clifton F. Hodge, one of Terman…

Feelings after the Fall
The commune of the disciples of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Rajneeshpuram, Oregon disbanded in the fall of 1985. This study examined former Rajneeshpuram residents' affiliation with the movement and personal relationship with Rajneesh 16 to 24 months after they had departed. Two mail surveys were completed by 231 former residents. Respondents continued to affiliate with the movement, and their attitudes toward their experience of living at Rajneeshpu…
Pitfalls and pratfalls in research on an experimental community
A community psychology perspective guided a field study of the social-psychological aspects of the experimental community of Rajneeshpuram, Oregon. This natural experiment illustrates methodological and theoretical challenges to research on the community level. Entry into the community and the building of rapport was a slow and dynamic process, carried out by several methods, such as feedback from respondents, focus groups, and new approaches to …

Who Lives in Utopia? A Brief Report on the Rajneeshpuram Research Project
Initial results are reported from a longitudinal study of Rajneeshpuram, the Oregon community founded by followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Demographic results indicate residents were young, predominantly white, well educated, and from middle- and upper-middle-class backgrounds. Psychological data indicate the presence of healthy self-perceptions: low levels of depression, high social support, and general life satisfaction. These da…

The need for accuracy in historiography
Historiographers must be especially accurate in their citations and references. An article by Wettersten contained numerous incorrect references and citations, and factual errors. Corrections are provided.
Format of publication and election to the presidency of the American Pychological Association
Henri piéron and French psychology
Parental effectiveness as reinforcers in the laboratory and its relation to child rearing practices and child adjustment in the classroom
Dominance behavior of paired primates in two settings
Role of the Adrenal Gland in Mediating a Pure Shock Effect
If rats are exposed to intense electric shock for relatively short periods of time, they differ behaviorally from control Ss in ways which are difficult to explain exclusively by means of an acquired fear paradigm. For example, preshocked Ss tested in a closed-field show reduced activity relative to controls under stres~f~l testing conditions even though when tested without concomitant stress, on the immediately prior test day, they did not diffe…

As we have pointed out, the sample is not random nor proportional; the postulates underlying the analysis are debatable, etc. Our conclusions must be accepted with all caution and we have raised more problems than we have solved. Although our findings largely confirm previous studies, certain revisions of t…
