Alcoholic Inpatients' Evaluation of Different Group Experiences
29 short-term alcoholic inpatients were asked to evaluate both open-ended discussion and structured-behavioristic type group experiences in terms of usefulness and the presence/absence of certain curative factors. The results showed that both types of experiences were evaluated very positively and each type had something specific to offer
Therapeutic Effects of Psychological Testing
12 patients were assessed before and after receiving a projective test battery and 12 were assessed before and after an intellectual cognitive test battery. Patients' self-reports, nurses' ratings, and doctors' ratings were used. When compared with a group of 10 patients who did not receive any tests, more short-term behavioral change was noted in these patients receiving tests
Stereotypes of Scalp and Facial Hair as Measured by the Semantic Differential
36 male and 44 female college students were presented with a series of 15 stimuli which were designed to represent the variables of hair color, hair length, quantity of scalp hair, hair quality and amount of facial hair. Each stimulus was rated on scales representing the Evaluative, Potency, and Activity dimensions. The proposition that stereotypes are identifiable was strongly confirmed. Of 18 specific predictions 15 were also confirmed. Explana…
Inhibition of Humor Enjoyment
Of 2 experiments on the inhibition of enjoyment of humor Exp. I employed sexual cartoons. Expectations were that those Ss asked to analyze these cartoons for their point would show less enjoyment than those Ss not asked to do this. These expectations were not supported. Exp. II explored the effects of the introversion-extraversion variable on inhibition of enjoyment of humor. Expectations were that those Ss high in introversion would show the gre…
Primary and Secondary Male Characteristics
36 male and 24 female college students were shown slides of a hairy arm, an arm without hair, a hairy chest, a chest without hair, a large penis and a small penis. They were asked to rate the slides on various adjective scales. The hairy arm and, to some degree, the hairy chest were rated as more potent and more active than their hairless counterparts and the large penis was rated as more potent than the small penis. These results were replicated…

Interview and the Bernreuter Personality Inventory for Screening Adjustment Problems in College Students
This study concerned the effectiveness of the Bernreuter Personality Inventory and a counseling interview in identifying those college freshmen who will have personal and social adjustment problems in college. The interview did a more efficient job, especially with long-term, nonsituational problems
The Disbelieving Subject
Two groups of college students were given a measure of test anxiety along with an elementary coding task. One group was told that this coding task was an intelligence test, the other that it was just an experimental task of interest to E. A measure was also taken of whether S believed or did not believe the instructions he was given. The results showed that those Ss who are given intelligence-test instructions perform better than Ss given the exp…
Discrepancy from expectation in relation to affect and motivation
Compound Verbal Stimuli and Word Association
In two replications, 97 and 122 Williams College students in elementary psychology classes were given two lists of word pairs with instructions to give a discrete free associate to each pair. List A contained word-pairs designed to increase the frequency of the normative primary responses and List B contained pairs designed to increase the range of responses. The results showed that significantly fewer different responses and significantly higher…
