Behavioural Aspects of Cigarette Smoking in Relation to Arousal Level
To test the hypothesis that cigarette smokers use smoking to control arousal level 160 habitual light and heavy cigarette smokers of both sexes smoked a standard cigarette and simulated smoking under conditions eliciting either low or high arousal. Under high arousal heavy smokers exhibited a significant reduction in rate of smoking but not in simulating smoking. From other evidence it was argued that, although this group may use smoking as a mea…
Association Between Galvanic Skin Response and Rorschach Performance
GSR was monitored during Rorschach testing. High GSR's were associated with (1) short reaction times, (2) initial responses to Cards II and VII, and (3) the following categories of initial response: S, m, FK, cF, H, (H), and (A). GSR may be considered an index of the subject's anxiety level; the findings are explained in these terms
Attitudes of Undergraduate Women to Smoking
A two-part questionnaire was circulated within a women's college. In the first part open-ended questions were used to obtain information on such topics as: age of starting to smoke, reasons for starting, reasons for continuance of the practice, attitudes toward cancer. Results generally agreed with earlier work with different populations. In the second part of the questionnaire the approach was more projective, Ss being asked to describe smokers …
Two Types of Set and the Generalization of Perceptual Defence
The present paper takes as its starting point the view that the apparent generalization of perceptual defence is to be attributed to an interruption of the observer's set. Two possibilities with regard to the nature of this set are examined, and the experimental results clearly support one of them: the view that ‘a set to see neutral words' is operative. Difficulties in understanding this formulation are discussed
Generalization of perceptual defense
Relationship between Sharpening and Extraversion
During the course of a recent investigation (2) Ss were asked to recall a series of 10 drawings depicting stick engaged in various activities representative of certain of the needs in Murray's system. It was noticed, en passant, that the ways in which Ss described these drawings in their efforts at recall seemed to be related to a personality characteristic which might be termed social extraversion. Those Ss who were lively and sociable in the re…

A Test of One-Trial Associative Learning
Association Between Muscular Tension and Work Output
E.M.G. electrodes were placed on the right forearm and chin of ten subjects while they performed simple addition. It was possible to record from one pair of electrodes the amount of muscular activity in the right forearm while the other pair indicated the moment of speaking and thus the speed of work. The variations in muscular tension and in speed of work were followed during the course of addition and this intra‐sum analysis revealed a differen…
