Naturalistic Methods in the Study of Social Attitudes
Psychological Stress Preceding Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Objective: Emotional stress is well established as a trigger of sudden death in the context of coronary heart disease (CHD), but its role in patients experiencing cardiac arrest with apparently normal hearts is unknown. This study sought to determine the role of psychosocial stress as a precipitant of cardiac arrest in patients with apparently normal hearts, so-called idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Methods: We interviewed 25 IVF survi…

Unpacking Cultural Factors in Adaptation to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND: Race and ethnicity are used as predictors of outcome in health services research. Often, however, race and ethnicity serve merely as proxies for the resources, values, beliefs, and behaviors (ie, ecology and culture) that are assumed to correlate with them. "Unpacking" proxy variables-directly measuring the variables believed to underlie them-would provide a more reliable and more interpretable way of looking at group differences. OBJ…
Sex Differences in Emotional Awareness
The present study examined sex differences in the complexity and differentiation of people’s representations of emotional experience. Female participants from seven different samples, ranging in age, scholastic performance, socioeconomic status, and culture, scored higher on a performance test of emotional awareness than did male participants. Women consistently displayed more complexity and dif ferentiation in their articulations of emotional ex…
Pervasive Emotion Recognition Deficit Common to Alexithymia and the Repressive Coping Style
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has demonstrated a deficit in the ability to recognize emotions in alexithymic individuals. The repressive coping style is thought to preferentially impair the detection of unpleasant compared with pleasant emotions, and the degree of deficit is typically thought to be less severe than in alexithymia. We compared emotion recognition ability in both individuals with alexithymia and those with the repressive coping styl…

Putting program theory into operation
Putting Program Theory into Operation
The emphasis on understanding how a program works and what makes a program work led to the development of the theory-driven approach to program evaluation. Theory plays a major role in guiding a program design and evaluation. The theory defines the presenting problem and the target population for whom the program is designed, specifies the causal processes underlying the program effects, and identifies its expected outcomes as well as factors tha…

Calibration of measures for psychotherapy outcome studies
Calibration of measures for psychotherapy outcome studies
Many findings in psychology, including those in psychotherapy, lack interpretability because measures are not in any meaningful metric. Measures need to be calibrated so as to endow them with inherent meaning. In particular, it is important to calibrate measures against behaviors and real events in people's lives. Approaches to calibrating measures include calibration against direct personal experience, against cross-experiential equivalents, and…
Psychology and inferences about public policy
The research literature of psychology may be brought to bear on public policy issues in three ways. First, psychology may be useful in establishing procedures for determining public policy. Second, psychology may be useful in formulating the structure for policy and its implementation. Third, the literature of psychology may be reflected in the actual content of public policy. There are many issues involved in making inferences about public polic…

Preventing problems in prevention research
The design, conduct, and analysis of prevention research efforts present formidable challenges, but as the papers in this volume illustrate, the problems of prevention research are probably not altogether intractable; they simply require the best of our thinking and the firmest of our commitments. The papers included in this issue represent some of the best thinking likely to be available, and, in aggregate, they give reason for some optimism abo…
Graduate training in statistics, methodology, and measurement in psychology
Graduate training in statistics, methodology, and measurement in psychology
A survey of all PhD programs in psychology in the United States and Canada assessed the extent to which advances in statistics, measurement, and method- ology have been incorporated into doctoral training. In all, 84% of the 222 departments responded. The statistical and methodological curriculum has advanced little in 20 years; measurement has experienced a substantial decline. Typical first-year courses serve well only those students who undert…

Problems of Translation in Cross-Cultural Research
There are various types of translation problems, not all of which have received sufficient attention. Translation of questions or other verbal stimuli has received more attention than problems of achieving equivalence in translations of orienting and task in-structions and responses. Vocabulary equivalence must take into account language as used by respondents and the possibility of terms lacking equivalents across languages. Equivalence in idiom…

Group decision making by experts
Decision-making processes and their outcomes were investigated in six consensus development conferences at the National Institutes of Health in which panels of experts evaluated new medical technologies. One hundred seventy-seven self-administered questionnaires were obtained from participants in these conferences. Questionnaire data were analyzed along with data derived from content analyses of the six consensus statements (CS) produced by the c…

Brief Focused Instruction and Musical Concepts
A MATTER OF GREAT INTEREST in music education is the ability of children to learn and to employ basic musical concepts. It previously has been suggested that the concept of conservation, as described by Piaget, may be relevant to musical experience.l Essentially, conservation in music would refer to the ability of an individual to retain the idea of sameness with regard to a complex musical stimulus despite deformations of temporarily irrelevant …

Attitudes toward Mental Disorder among College Students in the United States, Pakistan, and the Philippines
A 69-item questionnaire pertaining to attitudes toward mental disorder was administered to large college student samples in the United States, the Philippines, and Pakistan. Correlations between samples of item means indicated that, while the three samples were in general agreement across items, the Pakistani and Filipino samples were more similar in their responses. The Pakistani sample was least homogeneous in attitudes. Analysis of responses t…

Interpersonal distance and impression formation
Impression formation was examined as a function of interpersonal physical distance in an interview. It was predicted that a confederate would be rated less socially active as the distance between him and the subject increased. The hypothesis was supported by a significant negative linear trend in the composite ratings of friendliness, aggressiveness, extraversion, and dominance A variation in this trend, indicating that confederates seated closes…

Experiments and Demonstrations in Health Services Research
vention conditions. The term is used broadly to refer both to true or randomized experiments and to quasi-experiments. Demonstrations are regarded as projects involving interventions carried out primarily to extend or test the applicability of already existing knowledge rather than to add to scientific knowledge. Experiments of necessity require arrangements permitting some sort of comparison between experimental conditions and what, presumably, …

Modes and methods of personality research
Advances in knowledge about personality will be fostered by improved research methods, but corresponding improvements in our theories will be needed also, better methods will not be enough Theory itself can have methodological functions, and some methods provide strong impetus toward greater theoretical clarity and rigor Distinctions between methodological developments in research design, measurement, and analysis need to be maintained, and we ba…
