Academic anxiety, academic procrastination, and parental involvement in students and their parents
Objectives. The study investigated the relationship between academic anxiety and procrastination in children and parents, and parents' direct involvement in their children's schoolwork. Design. Children reported their current anxiety and procrastination and parents reported their anxiety and procrastination when they were children (a measure of indirect influence on their children's schoolwork habits), and on their current involvement in their ch…
Psychosocial Characteristics of Resilient Children
Stress and Coping in Israel During the Persian Gulf War
Psychological research in Israel on the Gulf War focused on its unique features—nocturnal missile attacks on civilian targets, absence of retaliatory strikes by the Israel Defense Forces, threat of chemical attack, compulsory confinement of family members in close quarters during the missile attacks, and changes in soldier‐civilian and adult‐child roles. The studies summarized here deal with groups who suffered no personal or property loss, and w…
Situational and Personal Determinants of Academic Procrastination
Female college students (N = 112) completed a test battery of personality scales and performance tasks at home over four consecutive evenings, under one of eight combinations of the following experimental conditions: Schedule Source (experimenter versus self) × Scheduled Starting Time (strict versus lenient) × Plausibility of the Experiment. Delay in starting, summed over four evenings, constituted the measure of behavioral procrastination. This …

Prediction of Performance in Basic Training of Women Soldiers
128 young Israeli women in compulsory military training were administered a predictive test battery at the start and performance ratings at the close of basic training. A composite measure of intellectual ability, attitudes toward women's occupational role, and discomfort with the routines of basic training were substantially correlated with officers' and peers' performance ratings, in descending order of magnitude

Crisis intervention in a school community disaster
This study describes and evaluates a school community—based primary and secondary crisis intervention program with 415 children in the seventh grade and their teachers during an acute bereavement reaction to the death of 19 schoolmates and the critical injury of 14 others in a school bus accident. Four interventions principles that were originally proposed for dealing with combat stress reactions—immediacy, proximity, expectancy, and community—we…
Consensus and Conflict in Parents of Autistic Children
Parents raising autistic children at home tended to agree on “objective” aspects of parenting—how difficult their child is, each parent's share of parenting responsibility, school/home collaboration, counseling received, child's attainments at maturity. They disagree on the “subjective”—fairness of each parent's share of parenting, how much each parent should do, whether child's living at home is worthwhile. Latter findings suggest parental disco…
Dimensions of Locus of Control in Children
A multidimensional measure of locus of control, which included three dimensions of content, time, and orientation toward success-failure outcomes, was administered to non-gifted ( N = 298) and gifted ( N = 166) Israeli children in Grades 4 through 8. Content was measured in three important settings in the child's life: school, home, and neighborhood. The time dimension referred to the difference between assuming responsibility for events of the p…
Locus of Control in Negro and White Children at Four Age Levels
Age-related progressions, but not sex or ethnic differences (Negro-White), were obtained in children 6 to 16 on Bialer's Scale of locus of control. Test-retest correlations of locus of control for Grades 1 and 7 were not significant, despite the minimal shift in score by individual, because of the narrow range of scores at these grade levels. The absence of significant relationships between locus of control and measures of scholastic achievement,…
IQ Constancy in Disadvantaged Negro Children
A longitudinal followup of 59 disadvantaged Negro children from age 3 to 8 indicated that: (1) their mean Binet IQ was relatively stable, while their Peabody IQ rose appreciably; (2) the magnitude of the correlation between earlier and later IQ scores was a function of the interval between test-retest and the age of the child on the initial comparison test; (3) ratings on test-taking behavior yielded significant sex differences and age trends; (4…
The effectiveness of an enrichment program for disadvantaged young children
Using a special semi-structured instrument, The Locus of Control Interview, the authors attempted to assess changes in feelings of powerlessness and helplessness—and their relation to cognitive changes—among first grade students in a Follow Through program. Results suggest that the pessimism often surrounding enrichment programs may be unwarranted, and that youth and inexperience may be positive attributes in teachers of disadvantaged children
Level of Aspiration and Locus of Control in Disadvantaged Children
Culturally disadvantaged and advantaged 6-yr.-olds were compared on level of aspiration and locus of control. There were no differences between disadvantaged Negro and white children on either measure, but disadvantaged children in general were characterized by higher and less accurate levels of aspiration with reference to specific performance tasks and by less internal locus of control
Level of Aspiration, Locus of Control and N -Achievement in Retardates and Normal Children
An exploratory study compared 49 educable retardates with 20 third and 19 sixth grade normal children on measures of locus of control, level of aspiration, and n-Achievement. The results were consistent with a developmental progression, sixth graders scoring more internal in locus of control and more realistic in level of aspiration than third graders. The retardates who were chronologically older than the sixth graders tended to resemble third g…

Verbal Mediation in Paired-Associate Learning by Adolescents at Two Levels of Intelligence
Eighth-grade students of high and average IQ were administered 3 paired-associate lists of pictured items under mediation or control conditions. Mediation was manipulated by instructing Ss: (a) to repeat once a series of prearranged sentences, each of which contained stimulus and response terms in a given pair, during the initial presentation trial of List A; (b) to formulate their own sentences in the presentation trial preceding the learning of…
Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Scores of Preschool Children
Two groups of preschool Negro children of poor parents were administered the PPVT, SB and other linguistic and perceptual-motor measures. Since the PPVT score was consistently lower than the SB, it was concluded that this test may be more susceptible to environmental impoverishment than the SB. Substandard performance on the PPVT was discussed in terms of (a) a cumulative deficiency in storage and/or retrieval of verbal terms and (b) an inefficie…
Effect of Instructional Set on Verbal Conceptual Performance in Normal and Retarded Children
The effect of varying instructional sets on verbal conceptual performance was investigated by administering a composite Similarities list to normal and retarded children of various CA and MA levels. Lack of differences between instructional conditions suggested that both normal and retarded Ss were giving their best available response in the customary psychometric format. The superiority of a multiple-choice format highlighted the developmental d…
