Children Who Murder
Due to the extensive changes in family structure such as the increase of single parent families, a high divorce rate, and the decline of the extended family, support systems for young children are in decline. This decline disrupts the support systems' ability to shape children's prosocial values. Because of the fear of lawsuits and limited financial resources, community services and schools no longer provide the framework needed to balance change…

Racial representation in merchandising
Three national mail order catalogs were studied to determine the degree to which black people were used in advertising adult clothing. Swimwear, outerwear (topcoats, raincoats), and underwear were not included due to the relative absence of any black models. Results were based on frequency of use of black models, and a combined rating based on the size, salience, position on the page, and price of garments modeled. Results indicated significant u…
Grin and bare it
A study of 99 male and female streakers at one university revealed normality on demographic variables, but a significantly higher level of external control in male streakers over male nonstreakers, and a lower but nonsignificant level of external control in female streakers over female nonstreakers. Participants' explanations of the basis of their streaking behavior and their feelings about streaking were discussed.
A comparison of process data from family therapy and group therapy
Smoking Habits of Smoking Researchers
A survey of the smoking behavior of researchers who produce literature related to smoking was conducted. This group's current rate of cigarette consumption did not differ from the national rate or that of a comparison group of researchers, but differences were found in the current rate of cigar and pipe smoking and in the speed with which producers of smoking research are ceasing the habit
Isolation
Leadership and Voluntary Seating Choice
55 professional persons at a community mental health workshop were Ss in a study to determine the relationship between group judgments of those playing major leadership roles and the tendencies of leaders voluntarily to occupy head seats at mealtimes. A low, positive relationship was found. A high relationship was found between judgments of staff and participants on perceived leaders
Trends in the selection of psychology department heads
Awareness” in Chronic Schizophrenics
25 schizophrenics and 25 normals did not perform differently on intentional learning when incidental learning was controlled in a covariance analysis. The psychological deficit of the hospitalized patients was interpreted in terms of their set
Curiosity in young psychologists
Awareness” in Chronic Schizophrenics
The present study investigated whether chronic schizophrenics utilized primitive or precausal thought processes in explaining verbally the causes of non-affective events learned under extra-laboratory conditions and displayed deficit in explaining verbally the causes of non-affective events learned under the same conditions. The results suggest that, when Ss are carefully matched with normals on relevant demographic variables, differences in lear…
Emergence of Distinct Verbal Phases in Group Therapy
This study attempted to ascertain whether discrete stages emerged in the group therapeutic process. Ss were drawn from four different groups using similar therapeutic techniques. Results indicated that individual Ss develop similar patterns of response over time. The data supported a two-stage development of several of the response measures but with a greater number of sessions a different pattern may evolve
Predicting Verbal Behavioral Change in Group Therapy Using a Screening Scale
A factored 10-item scale composed of demographic and behavioral data derived from a group screening session was used in an attempt to predict verbal response level and verbal change in group psychotherapy. 23 male neuropsychiatric patients were seen for periods ranging from 8 to 18 sessions and their verbal responsivity measured using a modification of group process rating scales. Rank-order correlations between screening scale scores and the ver…

Awareness” in Chronic Schizophrenics
This study attempted to determine differences between normal and chronic schizophrenic males in their ability to receive stimuli from the mass media of communication and to report this information. When matched for educational level and age, no differences were discernible
Yes, Virginia, Everyone, Oakes, Santa Claus, and Even i, Agree Tests of Significance are Important
This note is an attempt to clarify some critical remarks concerning Oakes' study, “Reinforcement of Bales' Categories in Group Discussion,” and his “To Heckel or Not, a Reply.”
Vanity, Publication and the Social Order
Problems relating to the publishing of articles in the field of psychology are considered and some possible remedies for these problems are described
Measurement of Attitude Change in Nursing Aides
The results of a year's group discussion between 12 aides and 3 professional persons suggest the value of group techniques for increasing understanding between nursing aides and other persons and the effectiveness of Employee Supervisor Statement Study and the Patient Attitude Scale as pre-employment selective measures and for reflecting attitude changes following group educational experience
Effects of Methandrostenolone (Dianabol) on Old Male Rats
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Methandrostenolone, an androgenic drug marketed under the trade name Dianabol, on old male rats. Results indicate its value in increasing activity level, weight gain, and responsivity to female rats as measured by bar-pressing behavior and the Peacock-Williams device for measuring bodily movement
