Construct Validity of the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death and Dying Scale
The construct validity of the Revised Collett-Lester Fear of Death and Dying Scale was examined in three separate studies. Study 1 ( N=106) found substantial relationships between the Collett-Lester subscales and the subscales of the Multidimensional Fear of Death and Dying Scale. High test-retest reliabilities of the subscales over a six-week period were also observed. Study 2 ( N=268) examined the sensitivity of the subscales to an intervention…
The scientist-practitioner model and its critics
The scientist-practitioner model has been a major influence in professional training in psychology in English-speaking countries since its formulation almost half a century ago. The model aims to integrate science and practice to provide a uniquely qualified professional to work in a range of health, human service, organisational, and educational settings. The model, although widely accepted, has been criticised on the grounds (a) that the philos…
Ethical issues in research on adolescent depression and suicidal behaviour
The codes of ethical conduct of the Australian Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association imply that researchers of adolescent depression and suicidal behaviour must plan to intervene to assess risk where a participant in a study indicates an intention to commit suicide. Participants in research of this kind need to be advised of this possibility in advance. The obligation to intervene, and to advise of the possibility of in…
A commentary on the observations of nixon, of sheehan, and of gillam on practices and needs in psychological training
The commentary takes up the following issues raised in the contributions by Nixon, Sheehan, and Gillam (this issue): the balance between psychological science and applied skills in the training of psychologists; the content of a core curriculum; the relative influence of psychological scientists and practitioners in Australian affairs, and the implications of this for the training of psychologists, particularly with respect to the scientist-pract…
Undergraduate education in psychology
Currently, skills training in psychology in Australian universities is restricted to the postgraduate level. The present paper argues that there is a set of skills forming part of the core of professional psychology that could be taught at the undergraduate level to provide a more balanced implementation of the scientist-practitioner model. The skills proposed involve interpersonal processes, testing and assessment, applied research and evaluatio…
Forgetting of word associates as a function of recall interval
A series of experiments is reported which sought to replicate the observations of Parkin et al. (1982) that recall of self‐generated associates of emotional words is poorer than recall of associates of neutral words on immediate testing, but that the reverse is true when testing is delayed. In the first experiment independent groups of subjects were tested for recall immediately after administration of the word association test used by Parkin et …
Further Observations on the Incremental Stimulus Intensity Effect and Habituation of the Human Electrodermal Response
Two studies are reported which examined the relative effectiveness of an incremental series of stimulus intensities for reducing electrodermal responsiveness to a test stimulus. In the first study, employing five pairs of male undergraduates matched on electrodermal responsiveness, habituation to a 100 db (re 20muN/m2) noise burst was compared following two training procedures. In one, stimulation began at 64 db and increased by 4 db up to 96 db …
