Social Discounting and Externalizing Behavior Problems in Boys
Social discounting refers to the fact that most people assign more value to the welfare of close affiliates than they do to the welfare of distant affiliates—they discount the latter compared to the former. We report the first study to apply a social discounting paradigm to boys. We were particularly interested in investigating the relations between social discounting, age, and externalizing behavior problems (antisocial behavior). Results showed…
Effects of Sustained Abstinence Among Treated Substance-Abusing Homeless Persons on Housing and Employment
Objectives. We examined whether cocaine-dependent homeless persons had stable housing and were employed 6, 12, and 18 months after they entered a randomized controlled trial comparing 2 treatments. Methods. One group (n = 103) received abstinence-contingent housing, vocational training, and work; another group (n = 103) received the same intervention plus cognitive behavioral day treatment. We examined baseline and early treatment variables for a…
To House or Not to House
Objectives. Housing typically is not provided to homeless persons during drug abuse treatment. We examined how treatment outcomes were affected under 3 different housing provision conditions. Methods. We studied 196 cocaine-dependent participants who received day treatment and no housing (NH), housing contingent on drug abstinence (ACH), or housing not contingent on abstinence (NACH). Drug use was monitored with urine testing. Results. The ACH gr…
Social Desirability in Rotter's Locus of Control Scale
Although significant correlations were obtained between the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale and Rotter's scale, the relationship was not consistent throughout the range of Locus of Control scale scores. Significant differences were found among Marlowe-Crowne scores when separated according to high, low, or medium Locus of Control scale score subgroups
Study Habits as a Factor in the Locus of Control-Academic Achievement Relationship
Although several studies have shown that a relationship exists between locus of control and academic achievement as measured by grade poinr average (GPA) (Warehime, 1972; Hjelle, 19701, no attempt has been made to account for this relationship. The present investigation was conducted to determine if differential study habits between internal and external individuals could be a significant factor in the link between locus of control and academic a…
