A longitudinal investigation of the efficacy of online expressive writing interventions for Hispanic students exposed to traumatic events: Competing theories of action
Objective: Although expressive writing (EW) appears efficacious for treating a range of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms including diagnosed PTSD, little is known about its efficacy when offered online and for ethnic/cultural minority populations such as Hispanic individuals. The current study examined the longitudinal effects of two online EW tasks for treating PTS symptoms in a Hispanic student sample. Design: Seventy-one participants who ha…

On the Stress/Parasuicide or Parasuicide/Stress Relationship
On the Stress/Parasuicide Or Parasuicide/Stress Relationship
The question of whether high stress leads to attempting suicide (parasuicide) or suicide attempters are more likely to report high stress was examined in a one-year follow-up study of 98 persons, 47 of whom had attempted suicide. Cross-lagged panel correlations between stress and parasuicide provided both concurrent and predictive validity that stress as measured by life changes leads to parasuicide. A high relationship between stress at baseline…
Behavior therapy better than placebo treatments: Fact or artifact
Behavior therapy better than placebo treatments: Fact or artifact
Brody's comment on our meta-analysis (Bowers & Clum, 1988) seems to suggest that the efficacy of behavior therapy has not been established relative to placebo control conditions, especially for «neurotic conditions». The comments appear directed at defending an earlier meta-analysis (Priouleau, Murdock, & Brody, 1983) that concluded that psychotherapy was not more efficacious than a placebo control. We agree with Brody regarding the need for incr…

Information and Locus of Control as Factors in the Outcome of Surgery
The present study was aimed at assessing the relationships of locus of control and amount of information patients possess regarding their surgery to several criteria of post-surgical adjustment, utilizing a self-report measure of pain, number of analgesics taken, days in hospital and frequency of complaints. 48 patients about to undergo elective cholecystectomy were evaluated one day prior to surgery and five days subsequent to surgery. The resul…
Moderators of Ratings by Significant other and Self
Moderators of disagreement between 190 patients' ratings of themselves and significant others' ratings of them on dimensions of marital adjustment, self help, and social adjustment were analyzed. Disagreement was reliably predicted by the social status of the patient and for married patients whether the spouse and patient lived together. These results have implications for the assessment of outcome in psychotherapy

Choice of Defense Mechanisms and Their Relationship to Mood Level
Preferences for defense mechanisms as measured by the Defense Mechanism Inventory were related to average mood level as assessed in normal Ss over a 30-day period. As predicted, males ( n = 23) who tended to prefer defense mechanisms centering around denial, repression, and intellectualization tended to be less depressed, more energetic, and less angry than males who preferred to act out their frustrations against others. Furthermore, as predicte…
Mood Variability and Defense Mechanism Preference
Mood variability, defined as variability in average daily mood, has been associated with neuroticism (Cattell, 1957; Fiske, 1957) and depression (Fiske, 1957) and negatively with defensiveness (Fiske, 1957). Variability of intraday mood, defined as the average range in daily mood, has also been negatively related to repression and lying good as measured by the MMPI (Wessman & Ricks, 1966). The present study uitlized the Defense Mechanism Inventor…
Attitude Change in Marine Recruit Training
Attitudes toward the military and toward superior officers were found to change in a negative direction during recruit training. Multiple-regression analysis of biographical variables to a criterion of attitude change revealed that the recruit whose attitude changed in a positive direction can be characterized as young, of below-average intelligence, and from a lower socioeconomic background. Platoon variations on the criterion of attitude change…
Intervening Variables in Unaware Subjects in a Verbal Conditioning Task
33 Ss, judged in a lengthy post-conditioning interview to be unaware of the correct response-reinforcement contingency as employed in a Taffel verbal conditioning task, were compared on the interrelationships of their scores on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the E and N scales of the Maudsley Personality Inventory, an auditory measure of vigilance, the spiral aftereffect test, and a verbal conditioning measure. Verbal conditioning was found t…
