A Cross-Cultural Investigation of the Foot-in-the-Door Compliance Induction Procedure
The present study reports on three separate field experiments that investigated, respectively, the foot-in-the-door (FITD) compliance induction procedure in three cultures (Paris, France; Frankfurt, West Germany; and Amsterdam, the Netherlands). A three-group design was employed in all three settings: a small request only, a large request only (control), and a small request followed by a large request. Ratings of the size of the request, normativ…
Emergence of vocal alternation in mother-infant interchanges
Microanalyses of unstructured videotaped interactions of three mother-infant dyads revealed dramatic shifts in dyadic vocalization patterns from primarily overlapping to primarily alternating. Maximal overlapping vocalization appeared between 7 and 13 weeks for the different dyads, and subsequent alternation predominance peaked between 12 and 18 weeks. The findings are compared with prior work which had not found alternation predominance and reas…

A Reply to Maher and Langone's Statistical Critique of Kilbourne
Maher and Langone (1985) have recently claimed that my (Kilbourne, 1983) of the Conway and Siegelman data (1982) were faulty and the conclusions were unwarranted (325). According to Maher and Langone, conclusions can be drawn from Kilbourne's analyses (325). The criticized indicated the following: 1) no support for the Conway and Siegelman conclusions that there is direct relationship the number of hours spent per week in cult ritual and indoctri…

The communalization of religious experience in contemporary religious groups
Samples of one new religious group (Unificationists) and two established religious groups (Catholics and Presbyterians) were compared on measures of the importance of communal experiences to one's religious faith and the number of prior religious associations. A three-way interaction emerged among religious group, importance of communal experiences, and number of prior religious associations. Also, communal experiences in a religious context gene…

Social Experimentation Self-Process or Social Role
The present article uses Lifton's protean man concept to describe a pattern of social experimentation with new religious, cultic and self-growth groups in con temporary American society. However, proteanism or social experimentation is understood herein to signify a positive search by some for meaning, identity and community, and to describe more aptly a new social role, rather than a new form of self-process. We delineate the social experimenter…

Concurrent Feelings of Power and Dependency in a Sheltered Workshop for Chronic Neuropsychiatrics
The present study investigated the reported feelings of power and dependency of chronic neuropsychiatric patients in a sheltered workshop. Self-evaluations of dependency were assessed in relation to one real-life role (i.e. disabled welfare recipient), and evaluations of power feelings were assessed in relation to another real life role (i.e. worker in a sheltered workshop), with a complementary work-related performance measure. While dependency …
The Conway and Siegelman Claims against Religious Cults: An Assessment of Their Data
In recent years, support for the deprogramming of cult converts has come from a small body of research. This study examines one of the better known anti-cult investigations, the Conway and Siegelman claims of deleterious influence resulting from cult affiliation. Using their reported data, there was no statistical support for their claims of information disease. In fact, the only significant correlations that emerged from the data tended to suppo…
