Relationships between problem-solving competencies and militaristic attitudes: Implications for peace education
This study investigated relationships between problem-solving competencies and militaristic attitudes in a sample of 101 college students. Problem-solving competencies for international conflict resolution were assessed by using the Conflict Resolution Strategies Checklist to score essays written about how the President of the United States could respond to a hypothetical conflict between the United States and Iran. Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)…

Drama and Rationality in Foreign Policy
Rewarding in International Politics
The relationship between the superpowers is potentially the most destructive to mankind of any that has existed through history. Moreover, it is, through the continuing arms race, itself based on mutual deterrence and weapons modernization, extremely costly to both countries
Should We Reshape Deterrence
Organizational Crisis. Part I: Definition and Conceptualization
Initially, a two part definition of organizational crisis is presented, related to their significance and prevalence and reflecting either (a) opportunities to meet organizational goals or (b) demands or threats that may prevent an organization from attaining its goals or limiting its abilities to meet them and (c) which the organization seeks to resolve because outcome stakes are important and the ideal resolution strategy uncertain. Thus, crise…
Organizational Crisis. Part II: Strategies and Responses
The ways organizations respond to crisis can be described in terms of the level of the individual-short, intermediate, and long term-and the level of the organization as a whole-also short, intermediate, and long range. Different kinds of response have disparate implications for organizational effectiveness and survival. Some of the most effective responses can be counterintuitive and are not especially likely to occur, e.g., decentralization in …

The Nature of Threat
In the nature of advice to threateners, taking perceptions of the threatened into account, this article might have been called the limits to threats. It attacks the idea that size of threat is the major determinant of responses to it. It postulates need for control on the part of the threatened as a key aspect of the threat situation as a two‐party transaction. The argument is that contingent threats which permit the threatened party a sense of c…

Values and Estimation of Word Frequencies
It was hypothesized that people scoring high on a value or need such as evaluative dependence (measured by the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, M-C SD) would be more sensitive to words relevant to this need than would low scoring Ss and thus would tend to overestimate the frequency of occurrence of the need-relevant words. Words chosen for frequency ratings varied on a good-bad dimension pertaining to human characteristics or behaviors, …
Effect of censure or praise and evaluative dependence on performance in a free-learning task
The purpose of the study was to determine how subtle gestural praise and censure interacted with evaluative dependence in affecting performance in a free-learning task. High and low levels of evaluative dependence were determined from scores on social desirability scale. In a follow-up experiment, evaluative dependence was observed when interaction was minimal and neither censure nor approval occurred. (Author)
Note on Goldfried's Cross Validation of Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Items
Goldfried reports a cross-validation of a scale of items (the Marlowe-Crowne) intended to measure need for social approval. It proved feasible to rescore the scales of 3 samples of Ss using the Goldfried version of the instrument. The resulting correlations do not indicate that the Goldfried subset of items adds to the effectiveness of the instrument. Implications of the mode and state of development of the scale's validity for its use in various…
