Psychology Graduate Students as Research Mentors of Undergraduates
A survey of graduate chairpersons in psychology about the prevalence and value of mentoring relationships between psychology graduate and undergraduate students was conducted. Surveys were mailed to 235 chairpersons at colleges and universities, with 130 (55%) surveys returned. The results indicate that formal mentoring programs were rare (6%); however, a substantial percentage of respondents (75%) reported that graduate students interact informa…
Personal responsibility and altruism in children
Effects of deindividuation variables on stealing among Halloween trick-or-treaters
Effects of altered responsibility, cognitive set, and modeling on physical aggression and deindividuation
This laboratory investigation using 64 college students as subjects assessed the role of three disinhibiting variables in producing both physical aggression and an internal state of deindividuation. Altered responsibility, congnitive set, and modeling were manipulated in a factorial design, and all three variables significantly increased physical aggression. No interaction produced significant results. The increase due to altered responsibility a…
Selected Demographic Variables in Altruism
Individuals receiving wallets (86 males and 2 females) at selected locations in Seattle were unobtrusively observed and sex of retriever, an age estimate, dress type, and location of drop were recorded. The return of an intact wallet ($1.25 in cash and contents such as pictures) was used as a measure of altruism. The wallets were dropped in the entrance to an adult bookstore (specializing in erotica) and in the entrance to a regular paperback boo…
Compliance without pressure
2 experiments were conducted to test the proposition that once someone has agreed to a small request he is more likely to comply with a larger request. The 1st study demonstrated this effect when the same person made both requests. The 2nd study extended this to the situation in which different people made the 2 requests. Several experimental groups were run in an effort to explain these results, and possible explanations arc discussed. How can a…
