A model of mother-child coping and adjustment to HIV
Predictors of nurturant parenting in teen mothers living in three generational families
Attacking the Personal Fable
The premise behind this study was that teens engage in early sex because they believe the 'personal fable' concerning pregnancy: 'It can't happen to me.' Because role-play is a powerful tool for attitude change, the basic intervention consisted of teens enacting the consequences of teen pregnancy. Ss were 267 9th graders (both male and female) in a high-risk urban high school. Factor analysis of a questionnaire concerning sexual attitudes yielded…
Competence, delinquency, and attempts to attain possible selves
The impact of impulsivity, possible selves, and social and communication skills on delinquent involvement in inner-city high school and incarcerated boys (aged 13-17, N = 230) was explored. Impulsivity, perceived attempts to attain possible selves, and balance in possible selves were hypothesized to directly influence delinquency. Social and communication skills were hypothesized to influence delinquency directly and indirectly through their effe…
Cognitive styles as predictors of artistic styles
It was hypothesized that differences in artistic styles would be associated with differences in cognitive styles. Cognitive styles were defined in terms of Jung's theory of psychological types and assessed by the Singer‐Loomis Inventory of Personality (SLIP). Artistic styles were determined by a cluster analysis of the description profiles of eight well known twentieth‐century artists. The artistic styles of the forty‐five artist‐subjects were es…

Information Structure in Sentences
New information in sentences is theorized as being marked by surface-structure word order and by word stress. Experiment 1 tested these theories by giving subjects active and passive sentences with stress on either the agent or patient of the sentences. Subjects decided what questions the sentences would be replies to. The question-answering element of the sentence is the new information in the sentence. Experiment 2 tested only the word-order th…
Social class, conditional communication, and egocentric speech
Encoding of Nonsense Syllables for Meaning
The present study was concerned with the characteristics of the encoded R s to nonsense syllables. 35 S s responded under Glaze-type instructions to CVCs at 5 different association value (A.V.) levels, then attempted to recall their own R s to the same stimuli. High A.V. stimuli elicted R s which were more uniquely tied to the stimulus CVCs than did low A.V. items. S s' ability to recall their own R s to stimuli was directly related to the A.V. o…
Role of Context Cues in Learning
Greeno (1968) has performed a valuable service to the understanding of the role of context cues in paired-associate learning by stating the associative summation position sufficiently precisely so that the issues between this position and a differentiation position can be examined more systematically. The writers believe that Greeno's results are consistent with the Saltz and Wickey (1967) differentiation position and are systematically at odds w…
Further Evidence for Differentiation Effects of Context Stimuli
Previous paired-associate studies show that the addition of distinctive colors to verbal stimuli facilitates learning. The present paper is concerned with whether this facilitation occurs because color aids in differentiating the verbal stimuli or whether facilitation is due to color serving as an additional associative cue to the correct response. Further analysis of data from Saltz (1963) indicates that the order of difficulty of the pairs in t…

Retention of anxiety material as a function of cognitive differentiation
Two-Factor Theory
The present results for 40 Ss suggest that drive reduction, rather than contiguity, is the critical variable in PGR conditioning when a response defined concept of drive reduction, i.e., return of autonomic response to baseline, is employed
Studies of Forced-Choice Methodology
Issues in Scaling Meaningfulness
While the writers feel that Noble's (1961) restandardization of 2100 CVCs is competent and potentially e~ctremely valuable, we believe that there are problems in evaluating the three types of scales he presents, and we have some reservations about the m' scale, which he apparently feels is the most justifiable of the three. A scale may be evaluated on the basis of (1) internal scaling criteria, (2) relation to other scales, and (3) relation to >e…
