  • The Transtheoretical Model of Change Applied to Developing Suicidal Behavior

    Open AccessDavid Coombs, David W Coombs et al.ARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2002

    The Transtheoretical Model of Change (TMC) is investigated as a tool for explaining and diagnosing suicidal behavior. Investigators found in a sample of 42 hospitalized suicide ideators and attempters, that most patients had progressed through the stages of change as predicted by the TMC, and that ten change processes (psychological states or experiences) defined by the TMC, were used systematically in association with specific stages of change. …

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, William F Chaplin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1990

    The distinction between correlational studies and correlational statistics is crucial to an understanding of the type of inferences that can be drawn from research. The complementary nature of correlational and experimental research in theory building is discussed

  • Correlational vs Experimental Research Strategies in Psychology

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, R Michael O'Bannon et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1980

    The issue of manipulation versus selection as a research strategy still seems to generate confusion. Present usage and past analyses of the issue are discussed. It is pointed out that the two approaches involve inferential problems at different points in the process of scientific generalization. Therefore, the strategies are complementary. Taken together, they can allow conclusions which neither alone could logically support

  • Behavior and Traditional Therapy Applied to Pedophiliac Exhibitionism: A Case Study

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, John R HaneyARTICLEPsychological Reports1976

    A 36-year-old male, who was hospitalized or imprisoned from the age of 12 yr. primarily for sexual deviancy, was treated with combined aversion, aversion relief, social and sexual skill training, and traditional support and insight-oriented therapy. The client's major symptom was pedophiliac exhibitionism both in compulsive practice and in almost constant obsession. At the conclusion of a 3-mo. therapeutic program (and after a 11⁄2-yr- follow-up)…

  • Effects of Depression and Target Status on Aggressive Responding

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, Beth M Mcmanus et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1976

    The aggressive responding (on a Buss “aggression” machine) of psychiatrically hospitalized depressives was compared with controls under two conditions. The conditions varied in that the aggression target was defined as high status (physician) in one and low status (orderly) in the other. There was no threat of retaliation in either condition. While there was no significant over-all main effect of depression, the aggressive response of the depress…

  • The Scandinavian Suicide Phenomenon: Fact or Artifact? Another Look

    Open AccessDavid Coombs, Howard L Miller et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1975

    The well known differences in suicide rates among the European countries (especially the Scandinavian) are often explained as artifacts of statistical gathering and reporting. It is pointed out that the relative-rate differences reported by these countries obtain to a surprising (and reliable) extent in their immigrants to the United States where such statistics are gathered and reported by the same agents. It is suggested, therefore, that at lea…

  • Validation of Gilberstadt and Duker's 8–6 Profile Type on a Black Sample

    Open AccessCarl Clark, Carl G Clark et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1971

    The procedure employed by Gilberstadt and Duker (1965) with a Midwestern sample to determine the characteristics of the 8–6 MMPI profile type was replicated with a Southeastern black sample. The cardinal features of paranoid schizophrenia seemed remarkably similar in both groups but significant differences were found in traits, symptoms, and MMPI scale scores. In general, the Southeastern black sample showed a somewhat greater surface manifestati…

  • Sexual Differences in Physical Attractiveness as a Determinant of Heterosexual Liking

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, W H RivenbarkARTICLEPsychological Reports1970

    A questionnaire study of sexual differences in the importance of physical attractiveness to heterosexual liking disclosed that 177 men ranked physical attractiveness significantly (but only slightly) higher than 177 women. Different degrees of intimacy and permanency in the relationship also affected the importance of physical attractiveness in partners. There was no significant interaction between sex and type of relationship

  • A Negative Reaction

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, John KoehlerARTICLEPsychological Reports1970

    It is pointed out that the terminology commonly used in psychology to describe monotonic curves is ambiguous and somewhat inaccurate. An alternative set of terms which accurately describes both the direction of slope and the acceleration is suggested

  • Alpha waves—Artifacts

    Howard L MillerARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1968

    Kennedy has argued that alpha rhythm recordings are artifacts caused by the mechanical pulsation (choroid plexus pump) of a gel (the living brain) with different electrical potentials. This paper has been republished in a recent collection by Evans and Robertson. Kennedy's hypothesis seemed insufficiently supported, and contradicted the consensus concerning the origin of alpha waves which existed at the time. Significant recent research is examin…

  • Relation of Sexual Behaviors, Values, and Conflict to Avowed Happiness and Personal Adjustment

    Open AccessHoward L Miller, Howard Miller et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1968

    A questionnaire study of 68 male and 64 female college students inquired about sexual behaviors (a) experienced, (b) deemed acceptable on a date, (c) deemed acceptable if experienced previously by a fiance(e), (d) revealed to peers, and (e) revealed to parents. High scores on these measures were viewed as indicative of liberality and differences among them as indicative of conflict. These measures of sexual liberality and conflict did not correla…
