The Tribulations of Pinocchio
length novel in 1883. Pinocchio's tribulations, alas, did not end with the story's final chapter; a long series of quite different mishaps awaited him in North America. The first of these entailed the actual process of getting into print in the United States. English audiences first met the puppet at Christmas time, 1891, when Fisher Unwin (London) published Mary Alice Murray's translation (Collodi 1891). The little book was decorated with Enrico…
A Measure of Impulsiveness and its Relations to Extraversion
The study sought evidence for the construct validity of the Impulsive scale of the Interpersonal Style Inventory (ISI), and its relation to Eysenck's extraversion. In study 1 a sample of 93 high-school boys completed the EPI, ISI measures of Impulsive and Sociable, and the Buss-Plomin Impulsive scale. Correlations of ISI Impulsive with the other two scales emerged as .50 or higher while relations with EPI extraversion was .36. In Study 2, 45 deli…
Dimensions of Delinquency
While a number of studies on the Jesness Inventory (Jesness, 1972), an instrument developed to both predict and differentiate delinquency, have shown positive results, the utility of the instrument has been questioned by (1) negative findings of some research and (2) challenges of the reliability and validity of the instrument (Shark and Handal, 1977). Because of the limitations of the original analytic method used by Jesness, the present study s…
Mood States and Acquiescence
The study sought to evaluate the influence of extreme response style on mood state factors isolated. The factors obtained after partialling out response bias from intercorrelations of adjectives were compared with those obtained from the original set. A sample of the 349 high school students were administered a 63-adjective feeling-and-mood inventory. A principal axis analysis of the adjective intercorrelations disclosed seven mood states, all mo…
Personality Characteristics of Super-Obese Persons as Measured by the California Psychological Inventory
23 super-obese males ( M = 341 lb.) and females ( M = 263 lb.) in a 6-mo. weight reduction program were compared with normative groups on the California Psychological Inventory. Females scored significantly different from the norm group on 6 of the 15 predicted scales, males on 9. A characteristic personality of the obese could not be described from the data
Effect of S-R Discontiguity and Double Responding on Two-Odd Oddity Learning by Retardates
36 institutionalized children whose MA scores were at least 3 yr. below their CAs were divided into three matched groups of 12 subjects each and presented with a two-odd oddity discrimination. In two groups (S ... R and Double-response), a 6-in. spatial gap was imposed between the oddity stimuli and the site response. Group Double-response differed from Group S ... R only in requiring a double response, i.e., touching a chosen S before making R, …
Effects of CUE-Reward Congruity on Retardates' Learning under Varying Conditions of S-R Contiguity
4 groups of retardates were presented a blue-yellow discrimination. Two groups responded directly to panels containing the color cues and the remaining two made their response to other panels spatially separated by 15 in. from the stimulus panels. Also, half of the groups received a reward which was identical to the cues and half received a reward which had no dimension congruous with the cues. Results showed cue-reward congruity facilitated lear…
The Scientific Ethos
In a previous issue of this journal, Professor Rothmanl provides an excellent critique of contemporary science, in which he outlines the components of the scientific ethos and forcefully argues that these basic values are widely transgressed. I quite agree with his argument. However, his elaboration of one of the values comprising the scientific ethos is in error. Rothman, like many other sociologists of before him, misinterprets the notion of di…
Humor Ratings as a Function of Weight and Food Deprivation
40 obese and 40 normal-weighted Ss rated 10 food-related, 10 neutral, and 10 hostile cartoons. Half of the Ss rated the cartoons before eating and half rated them after eating. The hypothesis that weight and the manipulation of hunger would differentially affect the food-cartoon ratings was not supported. The hypothesis that the obese would rate the hostile and neutral cartoons higher than would the normal-weighted Ss also did not receive support…
Some Personality Correlates of Obese Persons
16 obese patients in a volunteer program of weight reduction were given the Adjective Check List (ACL) and the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) prior to beginning weight reduction. The patients were from 64.6% to 214.7% overweight. It was predicted that they would score lower than the normative group on the Achievement, Affiliation, Dominance, Endurance, Order, Personal adjustment, and Self-control scales, while higher scores were pred…
