摘要:

The direct method of ratio estimation and the indirect method of pair comparisons were used to construct scales of the political importance of eleven Swedish monarchs. The scale from pair comparisons on the assumption of Case V was a logarithmic transformation of the ratio estimation scale. This is in line with the results obtained in several previous studies.

摘要:

In an initial attempt to investigate whether the level of hypnotic susceptibility can be experimentally modified, ten subjects of moderate susceptibility were given individualized hypnotic experience in 4–10 sessions and tested with objective hypnosis scales before and after the experience. Some quantitative and qualitative results are presented. They indicate that in most individuals routinely measured hypnotizability can be changed for the better within a certain range, but that dramatic changes as a rule will not take plac

摘要:

Preliminary data from an investigation of children growing up in geographically isolated Norwegian farm families indicate a strong preoccupation with the theme of center vs. periphery, or inside vs. outside, in projective fantasies. What lies outside the circle of home and family seems to provoke anxiety, and return to the farm is a frequent theme. This ‘centripetal’ tendency may be a basic feature of the perceptual organization as well as general life orientation of such child

摘要:

A case of the law of comparative judgment which does not assume equal variances and covariances has been applied in the scaling of conservatism from seven attitude scale items. The scale values are in good agreement with those computed from previously known cases. There is also some covariation between comparatal dispersions from Case IV and the new case.

摘要:

The present investigation is part of a follow‐up study of twins from grade 4 through 8 (age 11 through 15). Intra‐pair similarities are studied, intra‐class correlations being used as a criterion of similarity. Scores on achievement tests administered to practically all the twins in grade 4 in Sweden were collected and analyzed. The intra‐class correlations obtained for an age group of twins in grade 6 are throughout higher than those obtained in grade 4. The findings refute the additive model of hereditary and environmental influences. Two alternative hypotheses are advanced to explain the results. Previous findings indicating an average superiority of single‐borns over twins in cognitive tests are

摘要:

The purpose was to investigate the effect of chlorpromazine on verbal response contents in sentence completion tests. 30 male subjects participated in two chlorpromazine and one placebo session. It was found that the amount of aggressive, achievement and affiliation oriented responses was significantly reduced as an effect of drug intake. The results are discussed on the basis of the theories of conflict motivation and of arousal.

摘要:

The aim has been to find the dimensionality in speech sound perception for Swedish vowels using a multidimensional scaling technique. The vowels can be characterized physically by certain fixed energy distribution regions, which constitute the distinctive features in the speech code. The results show that a 4‐dimensional physical stimulus description corresponds to a 2‐dimensional auditive description for the vowels. The two factors which are obtained by means of auditive experience of dissimilarity between speech sounds correspond to the second and first formants respectively in the physical descript

摘要:

Twenty‐six subjects made judgments of curvature by the method of magnitude estimation. The influence of prior adaptation to a moderate degree of curvature was assessed for test‐curvatures greater and less than the adapting curvature and in the same and opposite directions. The median aftereffect was negative in all cases but not statistically significant for the most extreme difference between adapting and test curvatures. It is argued that negative aftereffect for all test‐curvatures along the same stimulus‐continuum is a necessary condition for postulating that these experimental effects represent a general normalizing tendency in per

摘要:

A mean interstimulus interval (ISI) of 10 sec. resulted in significantly‐shorter RTs to a single light stimulus than a 30 sec. average ISI. During a second workperiod the groups performing under each of the two ISI conditions were divided into four subgroups given 0, 25, 50 or 75% interspersion of an additional stimulus (sound). With short ISIs the condition of maximum predictability of event structure (light stimulus only) gave the shortest average RTs. With lessened predictability (increased proportion of the sound stimulus) there was a slight monotonous increase in RT. With long ISIs the same relationship was curvilinear, i.e. 25% interspersion of sound stimulus was most effective in preserving vigilanc
