Personality Differences Between Successfully and Unsuccessfully Treated Drug Abusers
Personality differences of 71 residents in a therapeutic community drug abuse program were examined with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Successfully treated males scored significantly (p<.05) higher on scales of Hypochondriasis (Hs), Hysteria (Hy), and Masculinity-Femininity (Mf). Successfully treated females obtained a significantly (p<.05) higher score on the Social Introversion (Si) scale. Unsuccessfully treated female…
The Dynamics of Jury Decision-Making
The legal profession is replete with assertions about the relationships of social, economic, and psychological characteristics to jury verdicts. The purpose of this research was to identify and test some of these concepts. A survey of jurors serving on criminal cases was conducted which incorporated pertinent socio-economic, demographic, psychological and experiential factors. An intercorrelation matrix and a linear step-wise regression model wer…
A Comparison of the Koppitz and Hutt Techniques of Bender-Gestalt Administration Correlated with Wisc-R Performance Scores
Forty students between 6-12 years of age were randomly selected from approximately 340 referrals to the school psychology services department of a Florida public school system. All subjects were administered the WISC-R and the Bender-Gestalt. The Bender-Gestalt was administered using two techniques: Koppitz routine instructions and the Hutt testing-the-limits method. The mean number of Koppitz errors was approximately two greater than the number …
A Modified Approach To Systematic Desensitization
The system desensitization procedure was modified in a manner that more closely approximates learning principles. Selected muscle groups were tensed, then relaxed contiguous with hiearchy item exposure. Subjects treated with traditional SD and subjects treated with the modified desensitization approach (MD) showed significant improvement in approach behaviour and subjective fear rating of the phobic stimulus. Placebo and no- treatment control gro…
Effects of Defensiveness on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
105 Naval Aviation Officer Cadets and 105 male university seniors were administered on one occasion the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Barron Ego Strength Scale, and the MMPI K Scale as measures of psychological defensiveness. It was expected that the cadets who were in a highly stressful environment would score higher on state anxiety and psychological defensiveness. In contrast to the impressive accumulation of research showing that the Sta…
Attitude, Desire, and Frequency of Extramarital Involvement as Correlated With Subject Characteristics
A study of desire for, frequency of, and attitudes towards extramarital involvement (EMI) was conducted, using 100 male and female college students ranging in age from 19 to 55. Demographic data gathered on subjects included age, sex, occupation, college major, current and past marital status and number of children, frequency of extramarital sexual involvement, and level of desire for extramarital sexual involvement. The subjects were administere…
Effects of Preretirement Planning on the Retirement Adjustment of Military Personnel
Retired military enlisted personnel are more likely than retired officers to find their choice of a second career to be fairly commensurate with their military work duties since officers rarely move into a high civilian managerial position. Consequently, it was hypothesized that adjustment to retirement would be more successfully accomplished by enlisted men than by officers regardless of how well they planned or how long they had been retired. A…
Selection and Elimination of Candidates in Counselor Education Programs
This study compared actual with ideal procedures in the selection and elimination of candidates in counselor education programs. A two-factor analysis for each category (selection and elimination) resulted in some significant differences (p< .001) between the actual and ideal procedures in both selection and elimination. The criteria for actual and ideal procedures in the selection and elimination of candidates were also treated by t tests, with …
Effects of Counselor Supervision on Group Counseling
Two hundred and fifty Neighborhood Youth Corps participants experienced group counseling over a 10-week period. Approximately half of the groups were conducted by five counselors who were supervised by a practicum instructor, and the remainder of the groups were led by unsupervised counselors. The participants in the supervised counseling groups were more positive toward their experiences than were those in the unsupervised counseling groups. The…
Differential Effects of Group Counseling with Black and White Female Delinquents
Recently, group counseling has become widely used in the treatment and rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents. There seems to be considerable evidence of the value of group counseling in bringing about positive changes in the attitudes of juvenile offenders (Butler, 1968; Redfering, 1971; Redfering, 1972; Slavson, 1965; Wolk & Reid, 1964). However, one aspect of delinquency treatment that has been virtually ignored is the differential effects of …
Comparison Between Dream Reporters and Low Reporters as Measured by the Mmpi
The personality differences between 75 reporters of frequent dream recall and 111 low reporters were compared by the MMPI. Although there were no significant personality differences between the two groups, the trends were toward dream recallers tending to be more restless and nervous, more withdrawing, and more inclined to engage in manic activity
Changes in the Perception of the Counselor
Thirty counseling practicum students' perceptions of self as counselor, ideal counselor, and self as counselor as perceived by other practicum students were measured by the semantic differential technique before and after the supervised practicum experience. Posttest perceptions of self as counselor, ideal counselor, and ratings by other practicum group members were significantly closer to the hypothetical model counselor than were the pretest ra…
