Rorschach Responses of Police Applicants
Rorschach responses of 53 police applicants yielded information about their perceptual, cognitive, and ideational characteristics not obtained from personality inventories. Many applicants manifested personality characteristics, evident on the Rorschach only, that might reduce their ability to protect and serve the public. These findings add to the potential value of the Rorschach in selection of employees and argue against complacency about reli…
Further findings on assaultiveness and alcohol use in interpersonal disputes
In a previous study uniform observational data were collected regarding family disputes managed by police officers; those data contradicted views commonly held by social scientists and by police about the roles of assaultiveness and alcohol use in these events. In the present study police officers employed systematic naturalistic observation during their interventions as third parties in disputes between nonfamily members as well as those between…
Assaultiveness and Alcohol Use in Family Disputes: Police Perceptions
Systematic naturalistic observation often contradicts experimental laboratory findings and idiosyncratic personal perceptions. In this study, family disputes managed by police officers trained in interpersonal conflict management yielded uniform observational data on 1,388 cases. The view shared by police and by social scientists that family disputes are likely to involve assaultiveness and that such behavior is typically caused by alcohol use wa…
Authoritarian Avoidance of Ambiguity
Authoritarian people can be expected to manifest intolerance of ambiguity in the autokinetic situation by responding in ways that are consistent with their own prior responses, and reporting movement of the autokinetic light sooner. 30 Ss receiving high scores on the California Fascism Scale formed the authoritarian group; 30 Ss receiving low scores formed the nonauthoritarian group. No sex differences were found. Both expectations were supported…

Understanding One's Clients: An Attempt to Improve Sensitivity and Morale in Police Recruits
Recognizing that effective police work demands sensitivity to human behavior and motivation, the importance of police selection and training procedures as they affect human interactional skills becomes apparent. A program of assessment was described. Recruits beginning training were somewhat alienated and possessed no unusual sensitivity to people. Academy training, buttressed by additional experiences (cognitive training in the behavioral and so…

The Prevention of Family Violence: Dilemmas of Community Intervention
Morton Bard, Joseph Zacker, The Prevention of Family Violence: Dilemmas of Community Intervention, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 33, No. 4, Special Double Issue: Violence and the Family and Sexism in Family Studies, Part 2 (Nov., 1971), pp. 677-682
Effect of Reverie on Recall of Word Associates
It has been considered that amnesia for childhood events may in part be due to differences between the child's and the adult's states of consciousness rather than repression alone. 12 male undergraduates underwent each of 2 experimental conditions, one designed to foster alertness, the other a reverie state. Prior to each experimental condition Ss studied stimulus words, each paired with one of two associates. Half had one associate more typicall…
