Effects of Authoritarian, Anti-Authoritarian, and Egalitarian Legal Attitudes on Mock Juror and Jury Decisions
The effects of authoritarian, anti-authoritarian, and egalitarian legal attitudes on verdicts by simulated jurors and juries were investigated. 360 undergraduate students in introductory psychology were classified as authoritarian, anti-authoritarian, or egalitarian in their legal attitudes on the basis of responses to the Legal Attitudes Questionnaire. An equal number (120) of each juror type was selected. They were grouped into six-person homog…
Blind men and elephants
Although consultation has become an important vehicle for purveying psychological services to social systems, few well-defined conceptual or empirical guidelines sensitive to the multidimensional nature of complex social systems exist to structure intervention efforts. A case study of a consultative intervention with an internally conflicted police department is presented. The process of the intervention clearly illustrated the multidimensional f…
Expectations about Effectiveness of Telephone Crisis Intervention
50 male and 50 female college students who had heard of but never actually used a crisis center were asked about their expectations for the quality of help received and its impact on their lives. Expectations were generally very positive and were compared to experiences of actual callers to a crisis center
The selection of paraprofessional telephone counselors using the California psychological inventory
Comparing groups of 36 veteran telephone counselors with 36 matched age and sex control subjects on the CPI revealed substantial differences on a number of scales. Subsequent development of weighted formulae via regression analysis led to very accurate predictions as to which individuals were telephone counselors or controls. Various cutoff scores and their uses are discussed
Variables Affecting Subjects' Ethical Ratings of Proposed Experiments
The present study examined students' ratings of ethics in psychological research. Four levels of research presentation were employed: traditional deception, sensitization, consumer-review, and informed consent. The results reaffirmed findings that students responded with significantly less concern about traditional deception in experimentation than did psychologists. Some differences were noted as a function of how the research was presented; sen…
An Empirical Investigation of the Modeling of Depression
To investigate the effects of viewing various films on affect, 200 volunteer subjects were assigned to 10 groups following a modified Solomon four-group design. Five groups received pretesting and five groups received no pretesting before being exposed to one of five treatments and follow-up testing 2 or 3 wk. later with the State Form of the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List and the Depression Check List. The treatments required viewing films…
A comparison of three survey methods to obtain data for community mental health program planning
A perennial problem for mental health planners is assessing community needs and existing services. The three most common methods used to obtain this data are the telephone survey, the mail-out questionnaire, and the face-to-face interview. However, there are advantages and disadvantages associated with each approach in terms of sampling, response rates, and economic costs. The present study utilized all three methods to survey the same community …
Roles and expectations for mental health professionals in law enforcement agencies
To assess consumer needs for and attitudes toward mental health services within law enforcement agencies, a questionnaire composed of a comprehensive list of mental health services potentially available to police departments was administered to populations of police officers and mental health workers. Respondents rated the services according to perceived utility of the service for law enforcement needs. Generally, police officers seemed receptive…
An evaluation of the effectiveness of a telephone counseling center
Three-thousand questionnaires were distributed to students on campus to identify a sample of actual telephone counseling center users and their ratings of the effectiveness of the help received and of the counselor. Ratings of help received and impact of counseling on life as it is today were considered for sex of caller and counselor across type of problem. A sample of 66 actual callers was identified who had used the service for personal proble…
Calls to a telephone counseling service
Data collected on calls made to a telephone counseling service over a 22- month period were examined. It was found that (a) calls concerning alcohol problems, dating and social skills, information and referral, loneliness and depression, pranks and obscenities, and problem pregnancy differed significantly across four two-hour intervals extending from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.; (b) males made significantly more prank and obscene calls than females, more ca…

Schedule-Induced Alcohol and Water Intakes in Rats on a FFI-60-Sec. Schedule
4 food-deprived, female albino rats were exposed to baseline and free-reinforcement schedule conditions in which either water or alcohol solution were concurrently available or the alcohol solution was available alone. The results replicate previous findings but are not explicable by current motivational or reinforcement theoretical notions. Practical and theoretical considerations with regard to these data are discussed
