Women's perceptions and labeling of sexual harassment
Predicting the Adjustment of Black Students at Predominantly White Institutions
Person-environment congruence is a major conceptual tool used by theorists to predict behavior and understand the personenvironment relationship, particularly among students in the college or university environment [9, 10, 31, 39]. Within the context of higher education, congruence theorists suggest that a good fit between students (their needs, attitudes, goals, and expectations) and the environment (its press, demands, supports, and the charact…

All students completed a variety of attitudinal, motivational and demographic background measures before and at the end of their courses. The results indicated that initially the death education students did not differ greatly from the students in the other two courses in their b…
College students as paraprofessionals with children and the aged
Guest Editor's Introduction
Self-Referent Language and Need for Approval
Need for approval and impression value of verbs were examined as two conditions hypothesized to influence the generation of self-referent statements. 52 male college students who varied in need for approval did not vary in their production of self-referent language except when impression value of the stimuli was also considered. The data included the finding that all subjects, including those with low need for approval, responded to stimuli expre…
Life and Death Attitudes of Parents of Mildly Dysfunctional Children
Dysfunctional children are known to have negative effects on parents. The present study investigated whether such children affect parents' attitudes towards life and death. Attitudes of a sample of 21 parents of mildly dysfunctional children were compared to those of parents of nondysfunctional children. The results gave little support to the hypothesis that dysfunctional children make life less attractive and death more attractive for their pare…

Reliability of the Barron Ego Strength Scale in an Individual Form
To determine the test-retest reliability of the Barron Ego Strength Scale (Es) administered out of the context of the MMPI, two groups of college males were given the test twice over a 2-mo. interval. Test-retest correlations of .75 and .81 are equivalent to those reported for the Es scale administered in the context of the MMPI, supporting the use of the 68-item scale as an independent measure
