Religious Experiences and Their Relations With Happiness and Personality
Three hundred sixty-four adults, of whom 46% were church members, participated in a study of mystical-religious experiences. They also completed measures of happiness; measures of some trait, cognitive and other personality variables; and items intended to form an improved measure of religious affect. Church members reported twice as many experiences as nonmembers, and their experiences were predominantly mild. This lends support to Pratt's (1920…

The Psychology of Religious Behaviour, Belief and Experience
Because society is increasingly secular, it may seem irrelevant to consider the psychology of religion. But the diversity of our multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society in fact makes religion more important to the social sciences than it has ever been before. What are the social consequences of religion? Every day the news is full of events that can be blamed on religion perpetrated by a range of groups from whole societies to individuals. Beit-H…

Cross‐cultural Variations in Relationship Rules
A British study of the informal rules of 22 social relationships was replicated among Japanese, Hong Kong and Italian samples. Subjects were asked to rate the importance of 33 common and varying numbers of relationship‐specific rules to each of these relationships on a 9‐point bipolar scale. Multivariate analyses showed each culture has a structure of highly endorsed rules, although a number of cross‐cultural differences emerged in the nature of …
The informal rules of working relationships
It was expected that there would be informal rules of several kinds for working relationships. In the first study subjects rated 33 common rules and a number of relationship‐specific rules for three work roles. It was found that certain rules were strongly endorsed for work‐mates, superiors and subordinates. These provide a maintenance function by regulating general and relationship‐specific sources of conflict. Rules about cooperation, help and …
Social support by four categories of work colleagues
An approach to the study of social support at work is presented emphasizing nature and type of social support. One hundred employees in a range of occupations rated the frequency of engaging in 12 types of social and work‐related activity with each of four work colleagues varying in degree of intimacy. They also rated levels of job satisfaction and work stress. The results confirm the usefulness of this approach and also suggest that type of work…

The Rules of Friendship
This paper presents the findings of four studies on the rules of friendship. Studies I and 11 established the strength of endorsement of 43 friendship rules in British, Italian, Hong Kong and Japanese samples. Study Ill found differences in reported rule-keeping between sustained and lapsed friendships by self and other, and between sustained relationships rated high and low in quality. Study IV examined the role of rule breaking in friendship br…
Sources of Satisfaction and Conflict in Long-Term Relationships
In regard to nine relationships of 52 subjects, 15 sources of satisfaction and 15 sources of conflict were rated. Three clear satisfaction factors emerged, and there were two conflict factors. There was some evidence for universal sources ofsatisfaction-the shared-interests factor, although this was low for neighbors. Spouse was in a class by itself, with the highest scores on all three satisfaction and both conflict factors. The ratio of conflic…

Favouritism, fairness and joint profit in long‐term relationships
This study was designed to test a number of hypotheses about the use of FAV and other strategies as measured by the intergroup ‘matrices’ in four long‐term relationships‐with spouse, child, friend and workmate. Forty subjects filled in matrices giving three measures of self‐favouritism (FAV), and one each of fairness (F) and maximum joint profit (MJP), in relation to the allocation of money and time. It was found that FAV was not used for spouse,…
Social Situations
This book not only documents the authors' own studies of real life social situations, but also provides an extensive review of other literature in this field. Michael Argyle and his colleagues are particularly concerned with the practical applications of situational analysis - to social skills training, mental health and deviance, intergroup behaviour, personnel selection and consumer research. In addition, by concentrating on situational variabl…
Eye-Contact, Distance and Affiliation
Previous evidence suggests that eye-contact serves a number of different functions in two-person encounters, of which one of the most important is gathering feed-back on the other person's reactions. It is further postulated that eye-contact is linked to affiliative motivation, and that approach and avoidance forces produce an equilibrium level of physical proximity, eyecontact and other aspects of intimacy. If one of these is disturbed, compensa…

The communication of friendly and hostile attitudes by verbal and non‐verbal signals
Two experiments are reported here in which Ss were asked to rate videotapes of a performer reading friendly, neutral and hostile messages in a friendly, neutral or hostile non‐verbal style. These messages and non‐verbal styles had previously been presented independently to a separate group of Ss jor rating, in order to obtain an estimate of their individual strengths in terms of six rating scales, and thus permit a matching of verbal (messages) a…

The intercultural recognition of emotional expressions by three national racial groups
Similar samples of English, Italian and Japanese subjects were asked to identify 8 emotional states and 4 interpersonal attitudes from video‐taped expressions of 2 performers from each of these cultures. AN sets of judgements were above chance, except Italians judging Japanese. The Japanese subjects were no different from English and Italian subjects in recognition ability but the Japanese performances were harder to recognize supporting Ekman's …

The meaning of five patterns of gaze
Subjects had five encounters with trained confederates, who each displayed five patterns of gaze with different subjects, in a graeco‐latin square design. The patterns of gaze were: Zero, looking while talking, looking while listening, normal and continuous. Two conditions were used: Subjects were either getting acquainted with the confederates or assessing them while they behaved in an ingratiating manner. Subjects and confederates were either b…

The goal structure of situations
An empirical method for analysing the goal structure within and between persons in different social situations is described. The method involves establishing the main goals of occupants of situational roles and then finding out how the different goals inter‐relate in terms of degree and type/direction of conflict and compatibility. Principal components analyses were carried out on ratings of importance of goals of those in different situational r…

Introjection
Evidence from previous studies is interpreted in terms of introjection as the learning of self‐reactions from the reaction of others. This is a form of learning which differs from others in that it is more permanent, generalizes to all situations, and exists in conflict with the rest of the personality. A number of investigations are reported showing that introjection takes place for some children, but not others, particularly from the same‐sexed…
