Synonyms for Sexual Intercourse: Evidence of Zipf's Law
In support of Zipf's law postulating an inverse relationship between the length of a verbal expression and its frequency of usage, the length of synonyms for sexual intercourse contributed by college undergraduates was negatively related to the number of students suggesting them
Do Students' Expectancies Affect their Course Evaluations
Relationships between students' expectancies of their introductory psychology class and their midterm and final course evaluations were investigated. Course evaluation forms administered at the very beginning of a term defined the expectations, and were compared to midterm and final ratings. Expectations were related to midterm and end-of-the-term ratings of teacher warmth and inspiration and work demands, but the relationships were not great
Canonical Analysis of the MMPI and Wais in a Psychiatric Sample
Valid MMPI and WAIS subscale raw scores, collected from 197 psychiatric inpatients, were subjected to bivariate, multiple, and canonical correlational analyses. 25% of the bivariate correlations and 50% of the multiple correlations were significant. A canonical R of .609 obtained between the WAIS subtests and the MMPI clinical scales, and a canonical R of .394 between the WAIS subtests and the MMPI validity scales. While bivariate relationships b…
An analysis of situation and person components of jealousy
Exploration of Individual Differences in Preferences for Humor
Liking scores for hostile, sexual, and nontendentious cartoons were correlated with personality factor scores of 20 female and 19 male college students. Sexual cartoons were liked more by males, especially by those tending to be tough or group-dependent, than by females, especially by those with higher general intelligence. Nonsense cartoons were liked more by females, especially by those with lower general intelligence
Drive Level and Prior Errors as Factors Affecting Subsequent Performance
A 2 × 2 factorial experiment (n = 15) is reported in which high (HA) and low (LA) trait anxiety college students performed a complex matching task after having first experienced low (LE) induced errors (20 percent) or high (HE) induced errors (50 percent) on a linear maze. Results support the hypothesis that errors increase the probability of further errors in conditions of high drive (generated by anxiety), but not in conditions of low drive
