Gender differences in inhibitory control as assessed on simple delay tasks in early childhood: A meta-analysis
Bjorklund and Kipp (1996) hypothesized that due to selection processes operative during human evolution, females have an inborn advantage over males in the ability to suppress inappropriate responses on tasks in the behavioral and social domains. To test this hypothesis, a meta-analysis was conducted on gender differences on simple delay tasks in which the participant is required to wait for a “go” signal before making an approach response to an …
Age as a moderator of the secular trend for grip strength in Canada and the United States
PURPOSE: To determine whether grip strength changed on average over recent decades at each of two age levels (children and adolescents versus adults) in Canada and the US. METHODS: For each sex, weighted least squares regression analyses were performed on mean grip strength values as reported in studies conducted from the 1960s onwards. RESULTS: Grip strength did not change significantly as a function of year tested in children and adolescents, w…

Sociobiology and sociopolitics
Cet article pose le probleme de l'utilisation a des fins politiques des recherches menees en sociobiologie. Des approches evolutionnistes ont deja servi et continuent de servir des ideologies elitistes, sexistes et racistes. L'A. rappelle ce qui differencie fondamentalement le politicien du scientifique. Selon lui, il convient de ne pas meler le domaine des jugements de valeurs et celui des faits, et le scientifique doit exclure toute participati…

Extraneous Factors in Institutionalization for Mental Retardation: Demographic Analyses for Ontario
Analyses of demographic factors associated with admissions rates into institutions for the mentally retarded, by Ontario county of residence, uncovered a paradox: Counties with lesser proportions of children had higher admissions rates. Further analyses showed that proportions of children were directly related to education expenditures, per student, and expenditures were inversely related to, and accounted for 41% of the variance of, admissions r…

Punitiveness in response to films varying in content: A cross‐national field study of aggression
Punitiveness in male movie‐goers in London, Philadelphia, Rome and Toronto was measured before or after they attended films varying in content (aggressive, sexual, neutral) and arousal potential (low, high). A second dependent variable, altruism, was also assessed for some Ss. Hypotheses stemming from social learning theory and arousal theory were tested by comparing changes in punitiveness at aggressive, nonaggressive arousing (sexual) and nonag…

Effects of Sudden Mass School Desegregation on Interracial Interaction and Attitudes in One Southern City
The extent to which blacks and whites interacted socially on school grounds and their attitudes toward each other were ascertained across time during the first semester of an integration program in three southern secondary schools. Interracial interactions remained sparse throughout the semester and over time showed no increases approaching significance though attitudes did become more tolerant. Several effects on both variables related to race, …

Demand characteristics versus dissonance reduction as determinants of failure-seeking behavior
Based on Ward and Sandvold's rcinlerpretation of Aronson and Carlsmith's findings, the failure-expectancy condition of the latter study was replicated with reliability-validity emphasis included for one group and excluded for another. In contrast to Ward and Sandvold's position, the present data suggested that the reliability-validity emphasis increased success-seeking behavior at the expense of consistency-s eeking behavior. An alternate explana…
A Conceptual Model of Artifact in Attitude Change Studies
This paper deals with the variety of ways in which role-related motives of the psychological subject, such as compliance with demand characteristics and evaluation apprehension may confound the data of attitude-change studies. Recent experiments regarding these sources of artifact in attitude paradigms are reviewed and the findings are placed within a framework of five specific propositions. Suggestions are given for methodological modifications …
