摘要:

It is argued that most algebraic models of person perception have difficulty handling individual differences in practical applications. Carroll and Chang's individual differences multidimensional scaling model (INDSCAL) is shown to have certain desirable properties that make it ideal for work in person perception. The utility of the model is demonstrated by showing that cognitively complex and simple Ss differ predictably in the relative importance they attach to the dimensions underlying their perceptual judgments of people. In particular, it is shown that the perceptual judgments of the cognitively simple Ss are dominated by the affective dimension.

摘要:

Factor analyses of the shortened forms of Belts' 1909 Questionnaire Upon Mental Imagery (QMI) developed by Sheehan (1967) revealed a general factor before rotation, specific factors after orthogonal and oblique rotations and a general factor after a second‐order analysis of oblique factor pattern inter‐correlations. The nature of these factors was discussed and it was suggested that the large general factor may represent demand characteristics while a smaller, bi‐polar second factor represents relationships between imagery modal

摘要:

A pretest‐posttest design training study was conducted, using a sample of 215 children in grades 2 and 3 as a basic sample. From these, 60 were selected who had very low scores on a test of the concept of horizontality, and randomly allocated to a training experimental group, training control group, and no‐training control group. The experimental group improved significantly with training, the controls did not. Horizontality posttest scores of the experimental group were found to correlate .5 and .6 with their scores on a previously administered test of mathematical groups. Some Ss who benefited from training were found to confuse the horizontal with the vertical. Such confusion was interpreted as an indication that S was approaching operativ

摘要:

A sample of Australian respondents from metropolitan Adelaide rated the degree of importance of 11 reasons for poverty previously used with adult Americans by Feagin (1972). Results indicated that the Australians were less likely to blame poverty on the poor themselves than the Americans. In both Australian and American samples reasons attributing poverty to personal responsibility were judged more important by older age groups and by Protestants compared with Catholics. Responses were also related to differences in sex, occupational status, educational attainment, and income. Factor analysis yielded three factors indicating that the 11 explanations of poverty could be clasified as reasons concerned with socio‐economic influences, with personal responsibility, and with personal misfortune. Results were discussed in terms of the psychology of causal attribution and their implications for social change were note
