Contributions to the History of Psychology: LIV. Harry Miles Johnson: War without Peace
Harry Miles Johnson (1885–1953) took his Ph.D. under John B. Watson at Johns Hopkins University. During World War I Johnson was the first “aviation psychologist” and did pioneering research in vision, accident prevention, and sleep. He founded the Ph.D. experimental psychology program at Tulane University. He was an acerbic critic of psychology from a position of “objective empiricism.” This position was modulated by his beliefs in the importance…
Sleep in Industrialized Settings in the Northern Hemisphere
Daily time-budget activity reports on more than 30,000 individuals in urban-industrial sites in 11 countries have been published. This is an analysis of the data on sleep patterns. The amount of sleep on weekdays by men and women did not differ. On days off the amount of sleep increased by about 90 minutes with the females obtaining significantly less sleep. About 2% of the employed men and women slept less than 5 hours and about 5% slept more th…
Mood and sleep in aging women
The possible covariations of mood and sleep was examined in a group of 25 normal, aging women. Mood assessments made in the evenings of 3 consecutive days were independently related to both before and after sleep night. Only two sleep variables: sleep efficiency and latency to first rapid eye movement (REM) period--were reliably related to daytime moods. The relative paucity of relation between mood and sleep variables was interpreted as reflecti…
State Measures and Sleep Stages
The present study examines the relationship between sleep and mood variables in an aging (50- to 60-yr.-old) sample of 36 males and 39 females. Data from two nights of sleep recordings were correlated with 5 mood scales from the Lorr Mood test administered 1/2 hr. prior to bedtime on the second night. 18 sleep variables were analyzed. Correlations from the first night of sleep and mood variables were compared with those obtained from the same moo…

The Sleep of Older Subjects Fifteen Years Later
The EEG sleep of 5 subjects originally recorded in their early 50s was recorded 15 yr. later in their mid-60s. Increased within-sleep awakenings were present and shorter sleep stages. A modified slow wave scoring system resulted in an increased amount rather than the previously established decline in slow wave sleep with aging. Interpretive cautions necessary in extended-time studies are noted. Reliability of awakening measures across time was se…
Are Short and Long Sleepers Different
The issue of other-than-sleep differences between long and short sleep patterns is discussed. A distinction is made between short and long sleep patterns and shortened and lengthened sleep. Categories of long and short sleep are defined. Measurement problems are discussed. The available research data are discussed. It is concluded that, if there are differences, they are limited and subtle. The requirements for further research are outlined

State and Trait Correlates of Sleep Stages
36 Ss completed a series of trait personality scales and two state scales immediately prior to sleeping in a sleep laboratory. Fewer significant correlations than would be expected by chance were found between scores on the state/trait measures and the stages of sleep as defined by the EEG

Characteristics of “Natural” Long and Short Sleepers: A Preliminary Report
A comparison of the psychological, physiological, and intellectual characteristics of long and short sleepers was made among first-year college students who indicated their typical sleep length on an entering questionnaire. 3 populations were obtained from follow-up interviews: 12 short sleepers, 10 continuing long sleepers, and 9 long-changed sleepers (originally long sleepers now sleeping less than 7 1/2 hr. per night). The data collected inclu…

A Study of Set Effects in the Verbal Conditioning Experiment
The effect of set on the prediction of uncertain alternative events was studied in this experiment in relation to the statistical association theory of learning. The standard verbal conditioning was provided in which Ss were required individually to predict which of two lights, right or left, would flash on following a signal light. All Ss were given 160 trials. Two patterns of trials were set up with the reinforcing event randomly spaced, and ha…
Activating Role of An Irrelevant Drive in Absence of the Relevant Drive
Some 10 years ago the senior author published a paper entitled motivational aspect of an irrelevant drive in the behavior of the white rat (3). In this report animals were trained to open a door for food. With Ss satiated for food but variously deprived of water a linear relation was obtained between the food acquired response and varying degrees of thirst. The role of the thirst drive was interpreted as contributing to a generalized drive which …

Drive Stimuli as Cues
Drive Stimuli as Cues
In the Babeldom of drives and motives, there are three towers. In one tower, the most orderly, there are words about the activating or energizing role of drives. In a second, in which you can distinguish some common voices in disagreement, the words are concerned with the incentive-reward aspects of drives. In the third, which is less noisy but seems more inchoate, the voices speak of the directional or the cue aspects of drives. In the third tow…
