Noncontingent Reward-Induced Learned Helplessness in Humans
Noncontingent verbal and concrete rewards were incorporated into a learned-helplessness paradigm in an attempt to provide increased generalizability of the reward-induced helplessness phenomenon. The treatment phase required subjects to reproduce a series of block-designs, for which they received either verbal or concrete reward according to one of three schedules: response contingent, 100% noncontingent, or 50% random noncontingent. A control gr…
A Validation Study of the Diagnostic Analysis of Reading Errors (Dare) Screening Test
The ability of the Diagnostic Analysis of Reading Errors (DARE) test to differentiate among students representing special populations was investigated. The DARE was administered to adolescents who had been previously placed in classes for learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, giftedness, and regular education. Data were analyzed by comparing group differences in scores on the DARE correct scale and by determining how accurately the DARE c…
Taste Preference of the Adult Rat as a Function of Prenatal Exposure to Ethanol
Two groups of pregnant rats (n = 10) received exposure to either 10% ethanol or water. All male offspring (n = 43) received a six-day preference test (ethanol vs water) at 90 days of age. Fluid consumption scores indicated a significant preference for water by all Ss. However, those animals receiving prenatal ethanol exposure consumed significantly more ethanol during preference testing than did the animals receiving prenatal water exposure
Shock-Elicited Aggression as a Function of Early Ethanol Exposure
Upon reaching maturity the offspring (N = 88) of animals exposed during pregnancy to ethanol and plain water, respectively, served as Ss in a shock-elicited aggression test. Significantly higher levels of aggression were shown by those animals that had received prenatal ethanol exposure. Several ethanol-related birth effects were also noted
Shock-Elicited Aggression as a Function of Acute and Chronic Ethanol Challenges
In a test of competing hypotheses regarding the effects of alcohol on shock-elicited aggression, animals maintained on a food restricted regimen were administered either chronic or acute ethanol challenges. Chronic Ss showed a significantly higher rate of target-directed aggression and spent significantly more time in aggressive activity than did acute or saline control animals. Results support the proposed interactive effect of food restriction …
The Interrelationships of Ego Strength, Self-Esteem, Death Anxiety, and Gender in Undergraduate College Students
The interrelationships of ego strength (Barron Ego Strength Scale), death anxiety (Death Anxiety Scale), and self-esteem (Texas Social Behavior Inventory) were studied in undergraduate university males (n = 20) and females (n = 59). Significant negative relationships between death anxiety and self-esteem and ego strength, and a significant positive relationship between self-esteem and ego strength were shown by both males and females. Moreover, m…
