Educational research in cooperative learning suggests that inequity based on perceived status may be an issue with heterogeneous cooperative learning groups. This paper explores issues of status based on race, ethnicity and cultural background in the New Zealand tertiary classroom where there is a diverse mix of domestic and international students. A four-year research project examined attitudes and perceptions of both domestic and international …

State Legislative Leaders' Contacts with National Legislative Organizations

The findings suggest that leaders in states with unified party control of the executive and legislative institutions are more involved with national organizations than l…
Handedness and dream content
We tested the hypothesis that dream content would vary as a Junction of handedness. Seventy-nine self-reported right-handers and 30 self-reported left-handers provided written descriptions of a recent dream. There were no significant differences between handedness groups in mean word length per dream or in mean theme/word ratios. However, compared to dreams reported by right-handers, the dreams of left-handers were characterized by a significantl…
