The present investigation attempts to compare four formal systematic approaches (loose associations, autism, loss of ego boundaries, and delusions) to the diagnosis of schizophrenia with the traditional, more informal hospital procedures typically used in psychiatric inpatient settings.

The purposes of this experiment were to determine (a) whether socially stimulated smoking (behavior contagion) occurs, (b) if evaluation by others is tension producing and if subjects smoke to reduce that tension, (c) if a relaxed social atmosphere would be conducive to smoking, and (d) if sex differences exist in smoking behavior.

This research attempted to find the causal relation between mood and level of reinforcement. An effort was made to learn what mood change might occur if depressed subjects increased their levels of participation in reinforcing activities. (Author/RK)

The present study was designed to assess the mood correlates of learned helplessness in human subjects. (Editor)

Two experiments were designed to provide an empirical test of an attribution model of psychopathology and to extend it to the clinical problem of social anxiety. Specifically, the research examines the relation between social anxiety and attributions of success and failure in heterosexual interactions. (Author/RK)

Examined the reaction of others to the behavior of depressed persons. More specifically, it was hypothesized that depressed persons induce depression and hostility in others, and consequently are rejected socially. (Author/RK)

Examined the relationship between the physiologically measured sexual response, sexual imagery (Thematic Apperception Test), and other subjective measures of sexual arousal. (Author/RK)

A retroactive inhibition design was used to examine the process of posthypnotic amnesia. The results supported the notion that "forgotten" material is as available to amnesic subjects at some level as it is to nonamnesic subjects. (Editor)

The present experiment investigated the effects of preexperimental social deprivation and satiation on the responsitivity of chronic schizophrenic patients to contingent social stimulation. (Author/RK)

The purpose of this study was to propose an alternative explanation of defective sociopathic avoidance conditioning based on the model of sensory reinforcement (Duffy, 1962) and the principle of optimal stimulation (Leuba, 1955). (Author)

This experiment tested the hypothesis that dream recallers would have better memory for visual stimuli than dream nonrecallers. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to compare the utility of model characteristics of coping, mastery, and positive affect behaviors in modifying psychiatric patients' anxiety and performance in a simulated job interview. (Author)

Imagery and categorization were orthogonally varied in an assessment of recognition and recall of process schizophrenics (process group), reactive schizophrenics (reactive group), and controls (student group). (Editor)

The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that aggressive offenders have a greater amount of theta activity in their electrocortical rhythms than nonaggressive offenders, and also to examine the more general question of whether such individuals are cortically underaroused, underreactive, or more easily dearoused.

Twenty overweight and 20 normal weight women underwent habituation, classical conditioning, and extinction of the galvanic skin response. (Editor)
