Self-Focus, Gender, and Habitual Self-Handicapping
This experiment examined the effects of public self-focus on individuals' behavioral self-handicapping tendencies. When faced with a threatening evaluation, a person may choose to self-handicap behaviorally. Men, more than women, and trait self-handicappers have been shown to self-handicap behaviorally. How do situational factors such as self-focus interface with these personal characteristics to affect such actions? Self-focus of attention was e…
Actors and Observers
In light of previous attribution research, the authors investigated whether individuals make different causal inferences about their own, as opposed to other people's, constrained interpersonal behavior. Fifty-seven male and 59 female introductory psychology students were randomly assigned to act either friendly or unfriendly as they interacted with a same-sex confederate whose behavior was also constrained. Participants assessed their own, and t…
Playing Games Before an Audience
This study examined video game performance under audience scrutiny to see if social facilitation or choking effects would be obtained. Social facilitation theory suggests that good players would do better and poor players would do worse under audience pressure and that all players would do better on a simple or maximizing game and worse on a complex or optimizing game under audience pressure. Choking research indicates that audience pressure woul…

Information Patterns, Attribution and Attraction
This study was conducted to see how information patterns concerning a positive behavioral event affect attributions and attraction toward the actor. It was expected that information patterns that implied a person x stimulus attribution whereby a particular actor acted in a positive way exclusively toward an opposite-sex target (the subject) would engender the most attraction toward the actor. Person, stimulus, circumstance and person x stimulus i…
Commonsense Attribution Versus the Covariation Principle
Kelley (1967) indicated that low consensus information should lead to person attributions and that high distinctiveness should lead to stimulus attributions. Hansen (1980) stated that low distinctiveness should more readily lead to person attributions than low consensus and high consensus, to stimulus attributions than high distinctiveness because they involve cognitively simpler processes. To examine these positions, we asked subjects to read tw…
Sex, Age, and Cultural Differences in Self-Reported Assertiveness
Differences in self-reported assertiveness associated with sex, age, cultural or ethnic group, and ordinal position (birth order) were examined. 782 undergraduate students completed the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule and provided the demographic information mentioned above. Men reported being more assertive than women. Older students indicated they were more assertive than younger students. Mexican-American women reported acting less assertively t…
Nonverbal concomitants of enacted emotional intensity and positivity
This study focused on how emotional expressions are implied through visual and vocal behaviors. The roles of proportion gaze, glance duration, and vocal loudness in expressing emotional positivity and intensity were examined. Emotional positivity, emotional intensity, and target of the communication were manipulated in a mixed design. Forty‐eight female subjects performed a liking or an anger message to a man and to a camera with strong and weak …

An Attributional View of Attraction
Kelleys (1967) attribution theory suggests that a selective evaluator whose opinion was more positive toward the target than toward comparison others would be liked more than a gain evaluator whose opinion of the target changed from negative to positive. This hypothesis was tested. In addition, the selective evaluator was compared to a nonselective one, and the gain evaluator was compared to a positive one. The selective evaluator and the positiv…
Does Locus of Control Similarity Increase Attraction
This study explores the possibility that the failure to obtain support for Byrne's effect, similarity of attitude, on the dimension of locus of control is associated with methodological artifacts. 24 internal and 21 external subjects (mostly females) rated their attraction to the locus of control protocols of three bogus strangers. These protocols were constructed using the method of constant discrepancy to reflect attitudes that were (1) similar…
Effectiveness of counteraggression strategies in reducing interactive aggression by males
Studies on techniques of reducing aggression have typically examined passive, matching, and punitive strategies of counteraggression and have been remarkably inconsistent in their findings. This research was designed to resolve the contradictory results by reconceptuallzing the strategies in terms of counteraggression/aggression (cA/A) ratios. We predicted that the norm of reciprocity and the tendency to exploit weakness would make a cA/A ratio o…
