Professional Practice Guidelines for Personality Assessment
The current paper conveys guidelines for personality assessment developed by a work group formed by the Society for Personality Assessment (SPA), which are intended to serve as an aid for best practices specific to personality assessment for professionals, and a source of information for consumers and policy makers. The guidelines were developed after a careful and systematic review of the literature on personality assessment and examination of p…
Orthographic Input and the Acquisition of German Final Devoicing by Native Speakers of English
We present an artificial lexicon study designed to test the hypothesis that native English speakers experience interference from written input when acquiring surface voicing in German words. Native English speakers were exposed to German-like words (e.g., /ʃtɑit/ and /ʃtɑid/, both pronounced [ʃtɑit]) along with pictured meanings, and in some cases, their written forms (e.g., and ). At test, participants whose input included the written forms were…

Different Differences
The authors propose a taxonomy of social identities, suggesting that three different classifications of identities can be distinguished. These comprise those that are innate and visible, such as race or gender; those that are innate, but invisible, such as sexual orientation; and those that are acquired or achieved, such as marital status or political affiliation. The authors argue that each of these categories has different implications for the …
The precocious two-year-old
This is a study of the lexical and grammatical abilities of 16 lexically precocious talkers. These children, aged 2;0 were compared to their age-matched peers, 22 typical talkers aged 2;0, and their expressive vocabulary-matched peers, 22 typical talkers aged 2;6. Individual differences in children's lexical knowledge at 2;0 were stable – evident in parent report, laboratory observation, and an experimental fast-mapping paradigm. In accordance wi…

A quantitative analysis of reduplicated and variegated babbling
A number of investigators have made reference to the stages of reduplicated and variegated babbling during the latter half of pre meaningful vocal development. Although these categories of utter ances are widely accepted, there is little quantitative data describing them. The present study investigated this issue by analysing the utter ances of 10 infants who were followed at approximately 4-month intervals from about 6-18 months of age. Although…
Phonological development of two-year-old monolingual Puerto Rican Spanish-speaking children
Phonetic and phonological analyses were performed on spontaneous speech samples of six 2–year–old monolingual Puerto Rican Spanish-learning children. The analyses showed a number of patterns of sound usage similar to those found in English-learning children of the same age, as well as children from other linguistic backgrounds. These findings add support to the claim that certain universal patterns exist in phonological development. However, a nu…

Personality Determinants of Leadership and Participation in a Sociotherapy Program
The present study explores the relationship between personality and the differing modes of participation in a sociotherapy program set in an open, voluntary, long-term psychiatric hospital, in order to further our understanding of the relationship between sociotherapy and psychotherapy. Three groups of patients were defined from the recent population of the hospital: leaders, workers, and nonworkers, and clinical and psychometric data were compar…
A phonetic analysis of consonantal devoicing in children's speech
A number of phonologists have observed the frequent occurrence of ‘devoiced’ obstruents in word-final position in children's utterances. Although such transcription-based accounts have provided evidence of the phenomenon, physical phonetic properties of devoiced consonants have not been described. Therefore, characteristics of voicing control for ‘voiced’ and ‘voiceless’ stops produced by five English-speaking children aged 2; 6–3; 0, five aged 4…

Effects of Speech Rate on Personality Perception
Using the voices of six subjects, representing various social and educational backgrounds, fifty-four synthetic voices were generated by computer. Each normal voice was both increased and decreased in rate by 121/2, 25, 371/2, and 50 per cent. Judges evaluated the fifty-four voices using a series of adjectives representing two major personality factors of " competence " and " benevolence ". Several statistical analyses were performed, and it was …

Evolving Intergroup Techniques for Conflict Resolution
The problem‐solving workshop is an approach to international conflict resolution based on intervention at the intergroup level and designed to provide inputs into policy processes. The pilot workshop described there included Israeli and Palestinian participants, meeting with a team of social scientists who served as a third party. Some of the features of the workshop included use of separate preworkshop sessions with each party to focus on intern…
