Psychological Perspective for a Theory of Behavior during Riots
In a riot situation some individuals actively participate in antisocial behavior, but others do not, and still others act to discourage hostile activity. Four concepts from general psychology including (1) insufficiency of internal control or lack of internalized restraints acquired through learning, (2) effects of frustration, (3) emotional excitement, and (4) precipitating incidents (one or more) are proposed as contributors to the behavioral i…
The Relationship between Rate and Quality of Performance on Achievement Tests
In an introductory psychology course, five objective examinations (matching and multiple-choice items, exclusively) were administered. Correlations between rate of performance (speed in taking the test) and quality of performance (percent score on the test) were low, -.17 to +.07, and not significant. Correlations between the tests in terms of rate of test completion were relatively high, +.60 to +.87 (all p≤ .001 level). Results suggest (a) no r…

A Psychophysiological Interpretation of Voodoo Illness and Voodoo Death
Voodoo illness is a form of psychosomatic illness. When sufficiently intense and prolonged, the extreme physiological arousal pattern to stimulation that comprises emotional behavior produces pathological changes in physiological functioning and anatomic structure, which are psychophysiological and psychosomatic disorders. New stimuli may become associated with established autonomic reaction patterns that are emotional behavior; also particular a…
Word Recognition and Word Recall
153 college students, given a 20-word spelling test, followed by a recall and then a recognition test of the words, did significantly better on the recognition test than on recall—even though the interval between learning and recognition was greater than the interval between learning and recall. 93 females scored somewhat higher on the recall test than did 60 males. No sex differences were apparent on the recognition test. Recall scores were posi…
Psychosocial Profile of Riot Arrestees
With the aid of a 61-item questionnaire, 100 male Negroes charged with participation in the Detroit riot of July, 1967, were interviewed shortly after detention in the prison situation. Interviewers were Negro males; respondent participation was voluntary. Most riot participants were under age 29, had some high school training or higher (ninth grade minimum), were employed, belonged to no political or civil rights organizations, selected as a rol…
Stereotypy and Variability of Behavior in a Complex Learning Situation
11 male albino rats were tested daily for 100 days in a three-choice multiple-path problem in which the order of path elimination was not controlled in any way by E. The criterion of learning was choosing three successively different paths on each of four consecutive days. All Ss solved the free-choice multiple-path problem by attaining the learning criterion in from 6 to 36 days (trials), the mean being 19.4. Correct choices were made more rapid…
Brightness Discrimination Learning under Conditions of Simultaneous and Successive Presentation of Stimuli with Punishment
Under relational conditions with electric shock punishment for incorrect responses, all 9 rats learned to choose the dimmer of two stimuli; no Ss in a parallel group of rats ( N = 6) given equivalent training under absolute conditions reached the learning criterion. Results are interpreted as supporting the Gestalt theory of discrimination learning rather than the theory of Spence
