Dyad rapport and the accuracy of its judgment across situations: A lens model analysis
Ecology of rapport and its perception within 2 contexts (i.e., adversarial and cooperative) were examined from a Brunswikian perspective. A lens model analysis determined (a) which observable cues were indicative of rapport, (b) whether observer judgments covaried with such cues, and (c) whether observers could assess accurately the rapport between opposite-sex interactants. Whereas the manifestation of rapport was context specific, judgment poli…
Risk Factors for Drug Abuse in Pakistan: A Replication
While a number of risk factors have been identified for drug abuse in the United States, little evidence is available about such factors in some other counties. Among these latter is Pakistan, a nation in which heroin addiction is a major problem. The present study was done to examine those psychosocial characteristics which differentiated 60 heroin addicts from 60 nondrug-using controls in Pakistan. Most of the drug-abuse factors identified earl…
Effects of Life Stress and Dysphoria on Complex Judgments
A sparse literature concerning the effects of stress on judgment and decision making has produced two tentative conclusions: (1) stress impairs judgment and (2) such impairment is often the result of the narrowing of a judge's focus of attention. While evidence supportive of these propositions exists, there have also been contradictory findings. This investigation attempted to address both of these issues. 98 undergraduate students completed a co…
Stress, Anxiety, and Cognitive Buffering
Cognitive theories of psychopathology and therapy maintain that attitudes and beliefs mediate one's affective responses to life events. Anxiety and depression are thus consequences, not of an individual's circumstances, but of the distorted, irrational perspective from which these are viewed. Similarly, although less often considered, adaptive cognitions should serve as buffers against stressful life events. This proposition has received little a…
Cognitive Mediation of Responses to Life Stress
Cognitive theories of psychopathology argue that thoughts play an active role between external events and subjective experience. These approaches suggest a "mediation hypothesis": adaptive thoughts should serve as buffers against life stresses. In the present study, we gathered data from 125 subjects regarding (1) the levels of stress they had experienced in the recent past; (2) their current feelings of anxiety and depression; and (3) the extent…
Evaluating the Quality of Instruction in Art: A Social Judgment Analysis
This study applied the methods and analytical procedures of social judgment theory to the study of teaching effectiveness in the arts. Four groups of judges, with varying levels of experience in art, rated the quality of 35 hypothetical art teachers on a series of seven dimensions relating to effectiveness of teaching. Results indicated that subjects in all groups displayed very similar strategies, giving most weight to the teachers' enthusiasm, …
Modification of Self-Esteem with Techniques of Attitude Change: A Replication
Although the enhancement of a client's level of self-esteem is a frequent goal in psychotherapy, this task is typically approached in an indirect and relatively inefficient manner. A recent investigation, however, suggests that methods of attitude change can be adapted as more direct means of raising levels of esteem. The present study was intended to replicate and extend that initial effort. 144 college students were exposed to a taped counter-a…
Relatonships Between the 16PF, GPP, and GPI
The Sixteen Personality Factors Questionnaire, Gordon Personal Profile and Gordon Personal Inventory were administered to 151 male and female high school students. Multiple regression analyses indicated that it was possible to predict all of the personality scores of each test from the other at better than the .001 level of significance. However, prediction was better from the 16PF to the Gordon tests. Consideration was given to the practical imp…
Use of Pseudodesensitization in Treatment of an Experimentally Produced Fear
By creating a conditioned fear in the laboratory and using the galvanic skin resistance (GSR) to monitor this fear, it was possible to assess the effectiveness of placebo treatment for reducing a conditioned fear. 10 subjects were classically conditioned to fear a specific signal light. Five of them were treated for the fear with a pseudodesensitization treatment; the others were not. The pseudodesensitization group extinguished the conditioned f…

Interaction of Age and Cue Validities in Multiple-Cue Probability Learning by Children
Two studies are reported which tested the hypothesis that in comparison with older children (early teens) younger children (ages 8 to 9) would learn multiple-cue probability tasks with equal cue-criterion validities relatively better than tasks with multiple cues and a single cue of high validity. The predicted interaction was found in both studies but the pattern differed. This difference was probably due to the variations of the tasks used in t…
Resolution of Cognitive Conflict in an Australian Sample
Following a cognitive conflict paradigm derived from Brunswik's “lens-model,” this study sought to investigate further the cross-national generality of quantitative results demonstrating how persons resolve cognitive differences. Ten pairs of Australian university students were trained to depend on one of two cues in a judgment task. Ss who had learned contrasting cue dependencies, i.e., contrasting policies, were then paired and required to make…
The 16PF as an indicator of performance in the Prisoner's Dilemma game
Cooperation and competition have long been of interest to social psychologists. Yet as noted by Phillips and DeVault (1957, p. 291), the aspects most often studied have been the effects of cooperation and competition upon other variables rather than the antecedent conditions influencing cooperation and competition. For example, Deutsch (1949) studied the productivity of groups given either competitive or cooperative instructions. One of the main …
