Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond
You Only Live Twice (1967) saw James Bond team up with the Japanese Secret Service to navigate the choppy waters of Cold War tensions between the USA and Russia, both of which had been pitted against each other by a nefarious criminal mastermind. Bond embraces Japanese culture, to the point of taking not only a Japanese wife, but a Japanese identity. This article will examine the authenticity of the depiction of 1960's Japan, from customs and man…

Association of Covid-19 With Achieving Time-to-Surgery Benchmarks in Patients With Musculoskeletal Trauma
In this cohort study, there was no association between meeting time-to-surgery benchmarks in either open fracture or closed femur/hip fracture during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with before the pandemic. This is counter to concerns that the unprecedented challenges associated with managing the COVID-19 pandemic would be associated with clinically significant delays in acute management of urgent surgical cases and suggests that many hospital sy…
Does Peacekeeping Really Bring Peace? Peacekeepers and Combatant-perpetrated Sexual Violence in Civil Wars
Peacekeeping mitigates killing, but nonlethal violence also influences both positive peace and stability. We evaluate peacekeepers’ effect on one such type of abuse, sexual violence. We posit that peacekeepers raise the cost of abuses and foster institutional and cultural changes that curb violence. We find that missions both reduce the chance of any violence and limit its prevalence; larger deployments and multidimensional missions are more effe…

Moderator Variables for the Relationship between Life Change and Disorders
The correlation between life change events and occurrence of disorders was investigated with the use of moderator variable measures of Jungian types, health locus of control, and optimal stimulation level. One hundred and twenty-four graduate and undergraduate men and women at Oregon College of Education were Ss. The following levels of moderator variables produced significant correlations: Introvert, Thinking, Feeling, Judgment, rational functio…
Self-Report Assessment of Life Change and Disorders
Frequency and severity of life changes were compared to frequency and severity of physical and psychological disorders for a sample of 90 college students. Four scores for life changes were, calculated from a life events questionnaire. A subject's score was the sum of his life change events when each item was weighted for the amount of social readjustment caused by the event by: (1) the mean ratings of all subjects, (2) the mean rating of only th…
Learning Sets in Concept Formation
The present study investigated the degree to which learning sets developed during formation of 20 successive concepts. Forty S s were evenly distributed among eight experimental conditions. Conditions compared were rule with attribute identification, conjunctive with disjunctive concepts, and random with ordered arrays of figures. Results showed that learning sets formed with rule identification for both conjunctive and disjunctive concepts, but …
Factor Structure of a Goal Checklist for Clients
A 39-item Goal Checklist was factor analyzed separately for two large client samples. The four common factors identified were Social-Personal Security, Vocational-Educational, Academic Skills, and Marital-Close Relationships. The checklist has usefulness for therapy and research
Learning Miniature Linguistic Systems
Forty Ss learned 10 sentences composed of adjective, noun, verb, and adverb and were subsequently tested for their recall of the sentences and their ability to generate new sentences based on an association rule for words within the sentences. The rule could be discovered from the sentences learned and was comparable to grammatical rules for sentence structure. Subjects also rated the meaning of the words from the sentences before and after learn…
Relationships of Extraversion-Introversion to Verbal Operant Conditioning for Aware and Unaware Subjects
Extraversion-Introversion was compared to verbal operant conditioning, separately for Ss aware of the response-reinforcement contingency and for Ss unaware. It was proposed that Eysenck's hypothesis which states that introverts condition more effectively than extraverts would hold only for unaware Ss. Both aware and unaware Ss conditioned. But there were no significant relationships between extraversion-introversion and conditioning, either for a…
Operant Verbal Self-Control of Studying
Treatments devised to investigate verbal self-control of the amount of study behavior were compared for their relative effectiveness at increasing the study of college students. 77 Ss learned under one of 5 conditions involving various combinations of self-instruction, reinforcements for self-instructions, and/or reinforcements for increased study. For all groups combined there was 61.3% increase in the amount Ss studied from wk. 1 to 3. Self-ins…

Effects of Four Reinforcement Schedules on the Generalization Gradient
This study compared the relative effects of 4 reinforcement schedules (FR, FI, VR, VI), and a random control, upon the gradient of generalization for human Ss. During color discrimination learning, ratios and intervals were selected to equalize response rates among schedules and overlearning established equal response latencies among schedules. The different schedules did not produce significantly different gradients
Stimulus and Response Variations in Learning Artificial Linguistic Systems
In 2 experiments with college students, the learning and reproduction of simple, artificial linguistic systems was studied. In Exp. I, the nature of the stimuli and responses did not affect learning efficiency, but the arrangement of associations between stimulus characteristics and response parts did affect learning efficiency of a main system and the reproduction of a subsystem after learning. In Exp. II the overlap in stimulus characteristics …
Awareness, Social Deprivation and Verbal Operant Conditioning for Adults
In a 2 × 2 × 5 factorial design the effects of social deprivation and reinforcement upon Taffel sentence construction were studied for 40 adults. Only reinforced Ss conditioned, and of them both aware and unaware Ss conditioned. Social deprivation did not affect conditioning or awareness

Extinction, Stimulus Generalization and Partial Reinforcement for Higher-Order Meaning Conditioning
This study investigated the degree to which higher-order conditioning of word meaning demonstrated acquisition, stimulus generalization, extinction and differential effects of reinforcement schedules. For 120 Ss, using a 2 × 3 factorial design, only extinction was not demonstrated. S awareness was unrelated to acquisition
Meaning Change and Personality Structure
Awareness, Verbal Conditioning and Meaning Conditioning
Empirical relationships basic to two controversial hypotheses concerning the relationship of awareness to verbal operant conditioning and conditioning of meaning were studied. Experimental procedures integrated the two conditioning processes, systematically varied verbal reinforcements for Ss' verbal responses, measured awareness by questionnaire, and measured rated meaning of nonsense syllables, which had been associated with meaningful words. 1…
Word Associates and Meaning Conditioning
Change in rated meaning of nonsense syllables which have been paired with groups of meaningful words has been explained in two ways. Staats proposed mediation by an implicit response and Bousfield hypothesized mediation by common word associates. Data obtained in this study support Bousfield's explanation and do not refute the position of Staats
Relationships of Awareness to Verbal Learning Efficiency and Meaning Change
The general relationship of awareness to learning efficiency was investigated in a 2 × 2 factorial design with 20 Ss in each of four groups. Classical conditioning of meaning and verbal operant conditioning procedures were studied under two sets of instructions: one stated vague experimental purposes and the other, exact purposes. Ss' awareness of experimental procedures and purposes was measured Results indicated that with both classical and ope…

General Ability and Interest Measures as Differential Predictors of Academic Achievement
(1963) of the relationships among interests, abilities, and academic achievement, the hypothesis has been presented that a student’s general ability and interests in a subject contribute significantly to his academic achievement. Also it has been hypothesized that interest measures predict academic achievement in subject areas appropriate to the area of interest, but not in other unrelated areas. An implicit assumption that has not been distingui…
