An interdisciplinary, multilevel, university‐based training program in community psychology
Influencing the media: A case study in guerilla research
Over a two-year period, ways of influencing the media (by varying the channel of communication between the psychologist and the press, the nature of the topic, and the receiver) were examined. The major dependent variable was space, measured in sq. cms. Independent of receiver, personal contact was found to result in significantly greater coverage, though the probability of publication was related to both the receiver and channel. The significanc…

A course evaluation questionnaire and a 52-item attitude questionnaire were administered. The response of the Police Department as a social system was also considered. On the basis of the results of this procedure, the following conclusions were made: (1) the participants found the course valuable, interesting, and approved …
Portrait of the disabled in the media
Disabled people, like everyone else, draw a part of their self-concept from the media, yet there is scarce attention paid to the image of the disabled in the media. Over a three-week period, newspapers and prime time TV programs were examined to determine the image of the disabled person as well as the general theme of the programs in which the disabled person appeared. Of the total exposures (TV and newspapers), the major themes which emerged we…
Mental health attitudes of professionals in training
Attention focused on the attitudes of 140 psychology students toward the mentally ill and community care, on the dual assumptions (a) that relevant professional groups must share a basically humanistic and tolerant approach, and (b) that tertiary institutions have a significant role to play in the inculcation of such attitudes. It was demonstrated that the attitudes of second, third, and fourth year students were less authoritarian and more incli…
A comparison of the community psychology and medical models: Teaching attitudes toward deviance to high school students
Innovation in the delivery of psychological services in an institution
Validity of a Study Attitude Questionnaire for Predicting Academic Success
The Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes was employed with 17 advanced attendants in an inservice training program. As expected, the SSHA score correlated well with academic success but not with scholastic ability. The Counseling Key of the SSHA correlated highly with the total SSHA score. Both the total SSHA score and the Counseling Key correlated highly with another test of study habits
