Heroin Dependence Recovery
The consequences of heroin dependence can be extremely difficult to escape from, resulting in unpleasant and potentially terrifying experiences. This descriptive study explores the factors which are important in achieving abstinence, in allowing recovery to be maintained in the longer term, and in potentially allowing an eventual exit from heroin dependence, from the experiences and suggestions of 40 long-term voluntarily abstinent heroin depende…
Research and Publications Output
This study explored factors influencing the production of research and publications by members of the Psychology Department of the University of South Africa. With regard to external factors, it was found that lack of a culture of research and lack of recognition for research and publication in the Department tended to inhibit research. But support offered by the University in terms of recess leave, funding and library resources were sources of e…

The Free State Floods
This is an exploratory study of the stress experiences of 20 flood victims in the Bloemfontein area. Measures consisted of demographic variables, Rotter's Locus of Control scale, Horowitz's Impact of Event scale and unstructured interviews. Whereas female subjects reported higher levels of stress than male subjects, no differences in the subjects' experiences of stress were found with regard to age, occupation or the measure of internal-external …
Houdings van blanke Suid-Afrikaners teenoor die desegregasie van openbare fasiliteite
Attitudes of white South Africans toward the desegregation of public amenities: A comparative demographic investigation. In this questionnaire study it was proposed that white attitudes toward the desegregation of public facilities would correlate with a number of demographic factors. The sample consisted of 1 062 second- and third-year psychology students registered at the University of South Africa during 1985. By means of chi-square testing an…

Bydraes tot die ontwikkeling van plekidentiteit as 'n omgewingsielkundige konstruk
Hierdie artikel is gebaseer op 'n oorsig van onderskeie dissiplines se bydrae tot die konseptualisering van plekidentiteit. Dit blyk dat die verhouding tussen plek en persoonlike identiteit deur drie interafhanklike dimensies heen sny, naamlik, kulturele faktore, sosiale groepsfaktore, en individuele faktore. Stokols (1982) se subjektiewe lewenstadiummodel is ook op die verband tussen plek en persoonlike identiteit toegepas. Riglyne vir toepaslik…
Transactionism in Person-Environment Theory
Environmental psychology is described as a sub-field of psychology which busies itself with the analysis of relationships between human activity and the external contexts in which it takes place. A brief overview of personologist, interactionist and situationist positions in person-environment theorizing is provided. The recent development of transactionism as an offshoot from interactionist views is illuminated by providing a synopsis of the bas…
From Crowding to Density
Psychological interest in crowding has tended to focus on density-related phenomena and their experiential attributes. A synopsis of psychological models and methods is presented, followed by an overview of diverse research interests with relevance to high density situations. The review is organized around personal, social and physical characteristics. Finally it is argued that an ecological analysis of density distributions would involve recogni…
