Comprehension of Textbook Vocabulary by First Year Students
First-year students in an English course at the University of British Columbia were asked to define 53 non-technical words from Munn's introductory psychology text. In spite of generous scoring standards performance, over-all, was alarmingly poor.

Yet little progress has been made since then toward a more satisfactory conceptualization of …
Postdecision dissonance at post time
2 experiments were conducted to investigate postdecisional dissonance reduction processes following a commitment to bet on a horse in the natural and uncontrived setting of a race track. In the 1st study, 69 $2 Win bettors rated the chance that the horse they had selected would win the forthcoming race and 72 other bettors provided ratings immediately after making a $2 Win bet. On the 7-point rating scale employed, prcbet subjects gave a median r…
