Hostile Attribution in Perceived Justification of Workplace Aggression
A 10-item Hostile Attribution Scale was developed to test the hypothesis that hostile attribution is predictive of support for aggression in frustrating workplace situations in which a supervisor's motivation is ambiguous. The Hostile Attribution Scale showed good test-retest reliability (.80), but weak internal consistency (alpha=.60). For one workplace scenario (Steve), hostile attribution predicted aggression in the ambiguous but not the defin…

Prior defense experience correlated .78 with prior prosecution experience, suggesting that experts cannot readily be classified as working exclusively for the defense or for the prosecution
Police perceptions of spouse abuse
The Politics of Juvenile Awareness Programs
Michigan's Department of Corrections recently completed an evaluation of Project JOLT, a “Scared Straight” type of program. The evaluation was unable to uncover any benefits to juveniles from the program, and therefore the department recommended its cancellation.
