摘要:

AbstractThe Rotter Locus of Control Scale was used to assess personality differences of 78 heads of households of similar (upper‐lower) socioeconomic level residing in three sections of one community in the Southeast. The participants were divided into two groups: residents who were undergoing foreclosures on their home mortgages, and a nonforeclosure group experiencing no major financial difficulty. Results indicate that heads of households experiencing foreclosure were significantly more external than control

摘要:

AbstractAttitudes toward the self, and toward four specific target groups (institutionalized patients, mental hospitals, graduate students in psychology, and undergraduates in psychology) were assessed as a function of paraprofessional skills training and client contact experience. Twenty‐item semantic differential rating forms were administered three times to experimental participants (21 upper‐level psychology undegraduates): during pretraining, after four weeks of training, and after six weeks of client contact. Control participants consisted of 21 upper‐level psychology students enrolled in a traditional academic course. Although the results indicated that experimental participants' attitudes toward the self (p<.05), institutionalized patients (p<.05), graduate students in psychology (p<.05), and undergraduates in psychology (p<.05) became significantly more positive on one or more factors, they were not as dramatic nor maintained as reliably as was hoped. Possible reasons for this finding were disc

摘要:

AbstractInterracial commitment of female undergraduates who volunteered to work as tutors with inner‐city preschool children was compared with female nonvolunteer practicum students who also worked as tutors, and female undergraduates who had no contant with the children. The relationship between personal characteristics of the volunteer and the nonvolunteer tutors and tutor‐child interaction was also investigated. Following work with the children, volunteer tutors were found to increase in interracial commitment, while nonvolunteer tutors decreased. Tutors who had tolerant, nondogmatic personalities and favorable attitudes towards ghetto persons and welfare recipients were more likely to be highly involved in their interaction with the children they tutored than were tutors with less favorable attitudes. High involved tutors were also found to be more critical of institutions which serve these client populations than were less involved tutors. Implications for future programs involving undergraduate mental health workers and selection of effective, involved mental health workers were discus
