Discusses an experimental study designed to determine if androgyny would mediate attitude change with males and females. (MH)

Indicates that a feeling of control over the environment affects the subject's response to aversive stimuli. This finding helps to reconcile those of other experimenters in the area. (RW)

Shows a relationship between the proximity of two people and their degree of face-to-face orientation and discussed the results with regard to Argyle and Dean's idea of intimacy equilibrium. (RW)

Offers evidence that experimental results may be distorted by subject nonnaivety and notes the need to eliminate such contamination, as well as means of assuring subject naivety. Tables and bibliography. (RW)

Presents research patterned on two earlier studies by the Crandalls 1963, 1964 on the effects of praise, criticism, and nonreaction on 10-year-old children involved in a marble-dropping task.

Results indicated that female monozygotic twins were more satisfied with their total self-concepts, including categories of identity, behavior, moral-ethical, personal, family, and number of deviant scores, when compared with male monozygotic twins. (Author)

Data indicate that males are more willing than females to disclose to strangers and acquaintances, but females are more willing than males to disclose to intimates. Results suggest a tendency for men to avoid emotional intimacy with one another. (Author/BEF)

Supports the hypothesis that male leaders will receive higher ratings of alpha behavior than female leaders in mixed-sex groups, regardless of the females' ratings in same-sex groups. Points to linear male leadership patterns, while female patterns vary depending on the composition of the group. (RL)

Uses evidence from recent brain research to prove that many behavioral differences between men and women are based on biologically inherent differences in brain functioning. (CM)

Examines the replication of a 1970 study and concludes that anti-female bias in humor is still present. (MH)

Twenty families in the San Francisco Bay area (California) with new Atari home video game sets were studied from February through June 1981 to obtain data on how the game-playing affected family interaction. Records of play were kept for one week each month and each family member was interviewed at the beginning and the end of the study. It was…
