摘要:

Health care systems in Australia are focused primarily on the treatment of presenting illness. Much of this illness is known to be psycho‐social in origin. Primary intervention, by psychologists among others, aimed at attempting to prevent such ill health therefore seems a most appropriate addition to the already existing systems. The concept of primary prevention is explored in this article, with a focus on the development of more competent coping both by people with ongoing difficulties and those who may experience difficult situations. The question of why primary prevention is not being practised more extensively is examined. Possible answers are discussed including the lack of immediate rewards it provides for professionals, its low visibility preventing adequate government funding and the lack of descriptive research results on which to base it. Examples of primary prevention from North America and Australia are discussed. In conclusion, some implications of this approach for the research and practice of Australian psychologists are considere

摘要:

A factor analytic study was conducted to test the validity of a ten‐item questionnaire developed by Mitchell and Moudgill (1976) as a measure of Maslow's need categories. The sample was composed of 50 male process workers of different national origins. Very limited support was obtained for the Mitchell and Moudgill questionnaire: this was explained in terms of the validity of the instrument, the severity of the test, the sample size, and the theoretical pre‐eminence of “importance”, as opposed to “is now” and “deficit” scores, as an indicator of need cat

摘要:

A model of cognitive ability, consisting of the verbal and performance components of both intellectual level and learning is described and it is used to help in showing the similarities and differences in the cognitive functioning of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and cerebral palsy (CP). Previous studies of the intellectual functioning of boys with DMD are reviewed in detail, and it is suggested that the model proposed here can add greatly to descriptions of cognitive functioning in these boys and in those with other medical conditions. The data give support to the proposed model and show differences between the groups, which indicate the greater power of this model over measures of general intellectual functioning alone. The CP group obtained lower mean scores on measures of intellectual performance level whereas the DMD group was, on average, worse at the test of verbal learning. The relation of the cognitive model to educational attainment in these groups is also examined.

摘要:

A longitudinal cohort study of N = 351 Australian males, which was commenced in 1957, provided the basis for the development of an Australian index of social class. The methods and procedures by which the index was derived are outlined. The rationale for the index can be adapted for use in other studies requiring a measure of social class.

摘要:

Studies of job satisfaction do not consistently show that there is higher labour turnover among the least satisfied, but few studies pay any attention to professional workers. This Melbourne study shows that among government psychologists job satisfaction is not significantly related to turnover.
