Women, Men, and Intimacy Motivation
Using a projective method with college students, this study assessed sex differences in the motivation to share personal concerns in a friendship context. As expected, women were found to be significantly more likely than men to imagine that they would confide worries to a friend (Intimacy Imagery). Women's Intimacy Imagery stories included positive outcomes significantly more often than did men's Intimacy Imagery stories, and the theme of self-e…
Sex Differences In Intimacy Motivation
Affiliation motivation in the literature has been conceptualized as inclusive of both intimacy and sociability needs. It is hypothesized here that the affiliative interests of males and females differ specifically in the strength of the motivation toward intimacy. Using a projective cue with a sample of high school students, highly significant sex differences in Intimacy Imagery were obtained. In addition, it was found that males who showed a ste…
Psychology in New England: A retrospective look-a woman's point of view
This paper takes off from Dr. John Volkman's unpublished review of the psychological climate in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University in the 1920s and 1930s. The slow changeover from an all-male faculty to a somewhat better than token number of females is described in the second part of this paper along with some references to recent developments in the area of the psychology of women.
Where Are We Now? Discussion of Papers Presented in the 1975 Aera Symposium on Sex Differences in Achievement Motivation and Achievement Behavior
The five papers presented at the symposium are examined critically in an attempt to account for both positive and negative findings in this area of research. Where relevant, the data from other studies not covered by these papers are introduced to support the author's conclusions

Intelligence test scores of Northern and Southern white and Negro recruits in 1918
Klineberg (see 9: 4717) and recently Benedict and Weltfish (see 18: 787) selected extreme states to show that intelligence test scores are more a function of geography than of skin color. The complete picture is presented in this note, with an analysis of variance of the Army Alpha and Beta tests in all states in 1919. Inclusion of the Beta results helps the whites more than the Negroes. The complete results show test scores to be significantly r…
