  • Adolescent Recall of Childhood Fears and Coping Strategies

    Open AccessGregory Sipes, Max Rardin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1985

    Ninth grade students ( N = 2728) wrote essay responses to the questions: “Most of us, as children, were afraid of something—the dark, dogs, being alone. What caused you the greatest fright when you were young? Show, by example, how you reacted to fear. What has helped you to overcome or conquer fear?” Reported fears and coping strategies were recorded by subjects' sex and fears were categorized as singular, primary, or secondary. Fear and coping …

  • Alienation and drinking motivations among adolescent females

    Roderick S Carman, Bernard J Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1983

    The present study examined a hypothesized relation between alienation and stated motivations for alcohol use. It was predicted that such a relation would emerge more clearly among adolescent females than among adolescent males, and this prediction was confirmed. Among females, problem-related drinking motivations correlated positively with alienation, whereas social-convivial motivations correlated negatively with this attribute. No comparable co…

  • Psychology of the Scientist

    Open AccessRichard A Pasewark, Bernard J Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1975

    Compared to experimental and to physiological psychologists ( n = 482), clinical psychologists' research productivity is quite limited. Factors of age, membership status in APA, and academic affiliation are highly related to clinicians' but not to experimental or physiological psychologists' productivity

  • Validity of Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale

    Open AccessRichard A Pasewark, Bernard J Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1973

    In constructing the Interpersonal Trust Scale, Rotter defines as . . an expectancy held by an individual or a group that the word, promise, verbal or written statement of another individual or group can be relied upon (6 , p. 651) . The scale contains 40 declarative statements. Twenty-five, such as, parents and teachers are likely to say what they believe and not just what they think is good for the child to hear (Item l o ) , contribute to the o…

  • Length of History of Schizophrenic Disorder and Anxiety as Defined by Skin Resistance Level

    Open AccessHerbert A Marra, Bernard J FitzgeraldARTICLEPsychological Reports1972

    Level of anxiety as represented in skin resistance levels (SRLs) was measured 5 times throughout the day in 60 hospitalized schizophrenic patients. Ss were classified into 3 groups of varying lengths of history of schizophrenic disorder and further subdivided into groups remaining on tranquilizing medication and groups receiving no medication for 84 hr. prior to testing. The comparison group (medicated) mean SRL differed significantly from that o…

  • Four-Year Follow-Up of Alcoholics Treated at a Rural State Hospital

    Bernard J Fitzgerald, Richard A Pasewark et al.ARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Studies on…1971

    Follow-up of 392 men and 139 women alcoholics for 4 years after a 16-week inpatient treatment program in a state hospital showed 44%, in equal sex proportion, to have benefited substantially. There were many year-by-year shifts in status, and a very high mortality

  • Sex Differences on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule

    Open AccessBernard J Fitzgerald, Richard A PasewarkARTICLEPsychological Reports1971

    W e examined the literature for reports of sex differences on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS). From Table 1, it is apparent that across normal and psychiatric populations, males tend characteristically, i.e., in at least six of the nine reported samples, to score significantly higher than females on EPPS variables of Achievement, Dominance, and Aggression and consistently lower than females on Affiliation, Succorance, and Nurmranc…

  • Social Class, Reported Parental Behavior and Delinquency Status

    Open AccessJames D Larson, Bernard J Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1971

    Earlier studies on the etiology of delinquents have been concerned with social delinquency (offenses committed with others) and solitary delinquency (offenses committed alone) as related to social class. Other studies have considered reported parental behavior as an influence on type of delinquency. The present study was designed to evaluate the influence of social class on reported parental behavior as a significant factor in social and solitary…

  • Relationship of Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children in an Educable Retarded Group

    Open AccessRichard A Pasewark, Bernard J Fitzgerald et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1971

    To determine the equivalence and relationship of Peabody and WISC scores in a retarded population, 49 students in a class for the educable retarded were tested. The Peabody IQ consistently over-estimated WISC Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. Intercorrelations between IQs from the two tests were disappointingly low. A more cautious approach to use of the Peabody as a “substitute” measure for the WISC is suggested

  • Interpersonal Trust and Delinquency

    Open AccessBernard J Fitzgerald, Richard A Pasewark et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1970

    Rotter's comments on the validity of his Interpersonal Trust Scale are discussed in terms of: the validity of the scale with incarcerated delinquents, alternative hypotheses of social class and situational factors to explain our negative results, and the need for further studies before the Interpersonal Trust Scale can be accepted as a measure of interpersonal trust

  • Validity of Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale

    Open AccessBernard J Fitzgerald, Richard A Pasewark et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1970

    As a partial test of the validity of Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale, the instrument was utilized in an attempt to differentiate male and female delinquent groups from non-delinquent groups matched for age and social class. Since Rotter states that delinquents are less trusting of others, the use of such groups seemed a fair test of the discriminability of the scale, but no significant differences were found on the Interpersonal Trust Scale am…

  • Use of the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule with Delinquents

    Open AccessRiley L Watson, Richard A Pasewark et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1970

    To determine if EPPS scores differentiate institutionalized delinquent and nondelinquent adolescents scores of 49 delinquent boys and 46 delinquent girls, age range 15 to 19 yr., were compared with scores of comparable nondelinquent groups. Delinquent boys scored significantly lower in Achievement, Deference, Affiliation, and Dominance. Delinquent females scored higher in Heterosexuality and lower in Endurance and Deference. Incomplete descriptio…
