Nonverbal Behavior and Communication
Anger, Hostility, and the Heart
Research on the roles played by hostility and anger in the etiology and course of coronary heart disease (CHD) has mushroomed. Moreover, there has been considerable progress in the knowledge of neurohormonal correlates of anger and hostility that could conceivably play a role in the pathogenesis of CHD. The editors of this volume believe that this is the appropriate time in the history of coronary-prone behavior research to take stock -- to ident…
Antagonistic Behavior, Dominance, Hostility, and Coronary Heart Disease
PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship between antagonistic behavior, dominance, attitudinal hostility, and coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS: One hundred one men and 95 women referred for thallium stress testing were administered the Structured Interview and the Cook-Medley Hostility Scale. The Hostile Behavior Index, derived from the Structured Interview and developed by Haney et al., served as an index of antagonism, and the fre…

Speaking without seeing, or the effect of interviewer absence on interviewee disclosure time
Effects of mutual invisibility and topical intimacy on verbal fluency in dyadic communication
Self-monitoring and speech in feigned and unfeigned lying
Of speech and time: Temporal Speech Patterns in Interpersonal Contexts
The Catharsis of Aggression and Hostility
Using 16 male and 16 female subjects, this study investigated the effects of viewing justified filmed violence and the effects of catharsis on aggression, as measured by levels of shock and ratings of hostility. Berkowitz's position that the viewing of justified filmed violence reduces the threshold for aggression was supported by both the shock and the rating data. Data did not support his position that the direct expression of aggression and ho…
A Psycholinguistic Comparison of Speech, Dictation and Writing
Eighteen subjects responded to questions in an interview-like situation in which response modes (speaking, dictation, and writing) and question topics (personal v. impersonal) were systematically varied. Ten verbal indices consisting of extra-linguistic, syntactical, and content measures were the dependent variables. The speaking condition, in contrast to writing, yielded significantly faster Reaction Times and Production Rates, greater verbal Pr…
Studies in dyadic communication.
The Effect of Interviewer Ambiguity-Specificity and Topical Focus on Interviewee Vocabulary Diversity
An experimental analogue of the initial interview is used to investigate the effects of interviewer ambiguity-specificity and topical focus, i.e., a low- vs. a high-anxiety arousing topic, on interviewee vocabulary diversity, measured by the type-token ratio. The findings indicate that both interviewer ambiguity and anxiety arousing remarks are associated with high interviewee vocabulary diversity. These results are interpreted in terms of the me…
Effects of question specificity and anxiety-producing messages on verbal fluency in the initial interview
An Intercorrelational Study of Some Indices of Verbal Fluency
This article reports an intercorrelational study of nine variables, assumed to be relevant to the occurrence of hesitation and anxiety in verbal behavior. Six verbal indices are used, including productivity, “Ah” and “non-ah” speech disturbance ratios, silent pauses, reaction time, and articulation rate. In addition Eron's rating scale for Affective Arousal in TAT responses, an adaptation of this scale for rating negative affect or anxiety, and a…
Personality and Socio-cultural Variables Associated with Religious Behavior
1. Although a number of personality variables have been identified by various authors as the determinants of religious behavior, independent of specific religious denomination, the results of the studies under consideration certainly appear to be inconsistent with such claims. It is suggested instead that the personality correlates of religious behavior vary with the specific religious denomination. 2. For most people religious belief and religio…

An Empirical Investigation of the Psychoanalytic Theory of Religious Behavior
THE interest of psychoanalysis in the psychology of religion dates back to the writings of Freud on this topic. In The Future of an Illusion' and again in Civilization and its Discontents2 Freud suggests that God was invented by primiitive man when he found himself overwhelmed by life's inevitable difficulties and frustrations. In response to these difficulties many an individual regressed and wished that he were a child again and could appeal an…
