PERSON-CLUSTERS ON INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES AND ON MMPI ATTRIBUTES

When persons are observed on multiple dimensions discovered by the objective procedures of the cluster analysis of variables (V-analysis), they can then be allocated to person-clusters by the equally-objective procedures of object-clustering (O-analysis). These procedures, called the Condensation Method, are completely worked out on two empirical studies. In the first study on intellectual abilities (the Holzinger Problem) 301 children are assigned to 15 O-types. In the second study on self-conceptions (the MMPI), 310 psychiatric patients and normals are allocated to 14 O-types. The means of assigning new individuals to these master types are described. All procedures are executed by computer programs of the BC TRY System, in particular the components FACS, OTYPE, and OSTAT. The logic of the methods is fully developed.     

后见之明研究综述

后见之明指后见判断(可得益于事件结果反馈的判断)与先见判断(不知晓事件结果时的判断)的系统差异,其研究范式大体可分为两类,假定型设计和记忆型设计。后见效应的研究,具有重大的理论价值和应用价值。文章对后见效应的研究范式、研究结果、及其有关理论进行了简要综述,并对其应用价值加以评述。     

MOVING ON

The following personal narrative concerns the author's experience with a malignant brain tumor. She uses the metaphor of motion to describe what happened to her about three years ago. Today, she continues to move on with her life.     

NOTE ON THE EFFECT OF VELOCITY ON PERCEIVED DURATION

Ten subjects made magnitude productions of duration in two velocity conditions when going by car. Productions for the higher of the two velocities were found to be reliably longer than those for the lower due to a negative relation between velocity and the slope of the R-S function relating perceived to physical duration. It was suggested that the effect of velocity on the slope of the R-S function might account for the discrepant results from previous studies investigating the effects of velocity on perceived duration.     

有关遗传和精神分裂症的文献评论(下)

四、区分社会和遗传影响的尝试研究 1.寄养研究 Leonard Heston用不同遗传体质而生长在同样条件下的被试,设计了一个研究。他比较了47名有精神分裂症母亲的“实验”对象,和有正常母亲的50名“控制”组对象。所有97名被试,从初生就和母亲隔离。半数实验被试和半数控制组对象出生后立刻被送到4     

关于词对音位知觉的影响的性质

本文报告的实验以反应时作指标研究词对音位知觉的影响的性质,检验Ganong提出的两种模型——相互作用模型和范畴模型。实验结果表明,词的作用随反应时的增加而减小。结果倾向于支持相互作用模型。     

COMMENTS ON GEORGE WILLIAMS'S ESSAY ON MORALITY AND NATURE

Abstract. Although there is no questioning the heroism of those who "rebel against the selfish replicators" their task seems very nearly insurmountable. I question whether anyone can formulate a broadly acceptable moral system that will not in some respects be constrained by the legacy of generations spent as selfish and kin-selected replicators.
