摘要:

This study has been designed to clarify some of the issues raised in the recent immigration debate. Specifically, the study focuses on three research questions: (a) What are the criteria deemed important by Australian‐born residents as the yardstick for migrant selection and assessment?; (b) what are their attitudes toward the present level of immigration, and to the suggestion that the present level of immigration has exacerbated the current unemployment situation?; and (c) what are the correlates of these attitudes? In the first part of the study. 56 Australian‐born respondents (both males and females) wrote down the criteria they thought that immigrants in general have to meet before being allowed into Australia. Content analysis of these responses resulted in 15 selection and assessment factors which closely parallel those listed in the government's migration points system. In the second part of the study, 143 respondents (71 males, 72 females) were surveyed as to their attitudes toward these 15 assessment factors, immigrants in general, and the present level of immigration. Endorsement of the 15 assessment variables indicated a preference for an assessment and selection procedure that is humanitarian‐based, but which also takes into account the economic viability of the potential migrant. While the results offered little support for the statement that migrants had exacerbated the unemployment situation, there was some support for the belief that the level of immigration into Australia should remain the same or be decreased. With regard to the correlates of these attitudes, the concept of ethnocentrism was found to be the best predictor, while the weak relationships obtained for the demographic variables suggest that their explanatory power is minimal. The implications of these findings for the issues raised in the recent immigration debate are disc

摘要:

Changing professional practices require revision of the professional ethical code of conduct to ensure adequate protection for patients and psychologists. The development of behavioural measurements and therapies has brought an increasing need for some degree of disrobing by patients. Examples are offered of interventions which may require this, together with a range of suggestions on how to proceed. In particular, emphasis is placed on the value of a written contract signed by all patients, spelling out ethical issues more generally and used routinely prior to intervention.

摘要:

When intellectual creativity produces systems of thought, as in counselling psychology, their application into systems of action with clients may or may not carry the same quality as was present in the inventors of the systems. Implementation and adaptation to persons and to contexts in time, may require further originality, which may not be guaranteed through training systems. In drawing upon the arts for analogy, there must always be makers, interpreters and appreciators. Transforming counselling theory and practice will require all three to operate in conjunction, if counselling process is not to reproduce itself as intact training systems. The corporate usefulness of counselling may relate to keeping alive the originality and quality of its adaptations to the problems of this age, more than to preserving a product already judged as a valued invention. One criterion advanced as evidence of counselling “creativity” is in the significant remaking of individual lives. The ability of counsellors to effect this quality of creative product may relate to the flexibility and adaptability required in the profession as a whole, and to relate the systems of thought and practice to the dimensions of present and future community context. That is to maintain the value of creative thinking as a condition for significant quality in the work of counsellors in soci

摘要:

The nature and role of parental assistance with reading progress was investigated in a large representative sample of grade 2 children (aged 7–8). A consistent pattern ofnegativecorrelations between measures of parental assistance and reading achievement suggested that the role of this help is largely remedial, with the poorer readers receiving the greater help. Furthermore, parental help appeared to have no effect on progress during grade

摘要:

Stuttering can be successfully treated and treatment gains can be maintained in the long‐term. Replicated results are presented that verify the above claim. Whilst replication has mostly occurred within the one clinic, similar programmes overseas have also demonstrated remedial effects of behaviour therapy for stuttering. An overview of the behaviour therapy programme is presented in an intensive cognitive‐behavioural framework. Given the high incidence of stuttering disorder, it is hoped the therapy presented will be further utilized by relevant professions such as psychologists, speech pathologists and psychiatri

摘要:

This paper considers a range of possible goals for psychological intervention in sport psychology, identifies the sporting settings in which psychologists are likely to work, and examines the types of interventions which may be developed from a behavioural perspective. Operant and cognitive‐behavioural frameworks provide a number of strategies for enhancing sporting performance, some of which are described and illustrated. There is a need for careful evaluation in this area, and some specific methodological concerns must be considered. Professional concerns should also be addressed There is the potential danger that standards of professional service, ethical matters, and conceptual rigour could be submerged by the demands of sport settings. Areas in which psychology can contribute include collaboration with sports scientists and coaches, the development of educational materials of a behavioural nature, and the evaluation of current practice. An emphasis on a strong relationship of sport psychology to the discipline and profession of psychology as a whole, and on the well‐considered development of professional services, should be to the benefit of sport psychol
