Women with pain occurring in the absence of pathology have been reported to have personality and mood disturbances which account
for their pain. These studies suffer from both methodological and theoretical difficulties. A common methodological problem
is the absence of comparison groups of women with pain of equivalent chronicity yet with diagnosed pathology. This study compares
women with and without pathology, matched for pain chronicity, on a range of psychological measures. No differences were observed
between “pathology” and “no pathology” groups on global measures of personality or mood. Differences do emerge in specific
attitudes and exposure to illness. The implications of these findings for our understanding of pain mechanisms are discussed
and the limitations of the notion of “psychogenic” pain are considered. 相似文献

This study is a laboratory analogue investigation of variables that impinge upon the recall of detail about a simulated act
of armed robbery among “eyewitnesses.” Specifically, this study sought to determine (1) whether recall of detail by Ss who
watch the videotape of a simulated “armed robbery” taken by surveillance camera in a “convenience” store varies according
to (a) the dress and appearance of the presumed “robber,” (b) the gender of the victim of the “robbery,” and/or (c) the gender
of the “eyewitness”; and (2) whether such recall varies according to S’s inventoried psychological “needs.” Ss viewed the
videotape of the simulated robbery under one of four conditions representing variations in the dress and appearance (“status”)
of the alleged offender and the gender of the alleged victim; completed the Personality Adjective Inventory; and responded
to a questionnaire concerning details of the alleged offense. Results indicate that the single statistically significant source
of variance in accuracy of recall of detail is the experimentally manipulated “status” of the perpetrator; gender of victim
and of subject contribute significantly neither in isolation nor in interaction. Inventoried psychological needs for “autonomy”
and “change” are significantly but negatively and weakly correlated with accuracy among women Ss, while “change” alone is
so correlated among men Ss. Findings are interpreted in accordance with theory and research in experimental social psychology
and psychological criminology bearing upon person perception and role expectancy in relation to behavioral stereotypes.

The current research examined whether visuospatial recall of both abstract and common objects was related to gender or object
familiarity. Seventy two undergraduates from a university in the Southern U.S. were asked to draw the Rey Complex Figure and
a series of common objects from memory. A pilot sample of seventy three undergraduates had previously identified common objects
as “male” “female” and “neutral” exemplars. Males were significantly better at drawing “male” and “neutral” exemplars whereas
females were better at drawing “female” exemplars. Neither gender was significantly better at the Rey task. These results
question whether males have an inherent advantage in visual memory. Results also found that experience with playing violent
video games was associated with higher visual memory recall. 相似文献

Some non-human animals may possess the ability to recall the “what”, “where”, and “when” of a single past event. We tested
the hypothesis that male meadow voles posses the capacity to recall the “what”, “where”, and “when” of a single past event
associated with mate selection in two experiments. Briefly, male voles were allowed to explore an apparatus that contained
two chambers. One chamber contained a day-20 pregnant female (24 h prepartum). The other chamber contained a sexually mature
female that was neither pregnant nor lactating (REF female). Twenty-four hour after the exposure, the males were placed in
the same apparatus, which was empty and clean. At this time, the pregnant female would have entered postpartum estrus (PPE),
a period of heightened sexual receptivity. Males initially chose and spent significantly more time investigating the chamber
that originally housed the pregnant female (now a PPE female) than the chamber that originally housed the REF female. Male
voles also explored an apparatus containing a chamber with a PPE female and one chamber containing a REF female. Twenty-four hour
later, males were placed into an empty and clean apparatus. The males did not display an initial choice and they spent similar
amounts of time investigating the chamber that originally housed the PPE female (now a lactating female) and the chamber that
originally housed the REF female. The results of these and additional experiments suggest that male voles may have the capacity
to recall the “what”, “where”, and “when” of a single past event, which may allow males to remember the location of females
who would currently be in heightened states of sexual receptivity. 相似文献

In Sven Bernecker’s excellent new book, Memory, he proposes an account of what we might call the “metasemantics” of memory: the conditions that determine the contents of
the mental representations employed in memory. Bernecker endorses a “pastist externalist” view, according to which the content
of a memory-constituting representation is fixed, in part, by the “external” conditions prevalent at the (past) time of the
tokening of the original representation (the one from which the memory-constituting one is causally derived). Bernecker argues
that the best version of a pastist externalism about memory contents will have the result that there can be semantically-induced
memory losses in cases involving unwitting “world-switching”. The burden of this paper is to show that Bernecker’s argument
for this conclusion does not succeed. My arguments on this score have implications for our picture of mind-world relations,
as these are reflected in a subject’s attempts to recall her past thoughts. 相似文献

Patterns of cognitive ageing 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Neuroanatomical evidence suggests that normal ageing affects some brain areas, and the “local” functions they support, earlier
and more severely than others. Changes appear to be especially marked in the hippocampus, temporal association and prefrontal
cortex. Evidence from classical neuropsychological studies suggests that these brain areas are associated with memory and
“executive” functions, respectively. We may, therefore, expect that tests purported to measure these functions may be disproportionately
affected in old age and that there may be evidence for some separation of these functions even within neurologically normal
populations. What we also know, however, is that measures reflecting general fluid ability also decline with increasing age,
so any hypothesis relating to specific “local” deficits must acknowledge and account for any “globar” changes in performance.
Volunteers (n=162) aged between 60–80 years who had completed the Cattell and Cattell Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CCF) completed the
Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Battery (CANTAB). The CANTAB has been administered to several patient populations
and tests from the battery have been shown to be sensitive to damage in both temporal and prefrontal areas (Owen et al., 1996).
Results from the test battery showed that both the Paired Associate Learning and Spatial Recognition tests were the most sensitive
to normal ageing even when CCF is accounted for. In contrast, this performance on the “executive” tests, shown to be sensitive
to frontal lobe damage, was not related to age, and CCF scores predicted performance on these tests. These results are discussed
in relation to theories of cognitive ageing and patterns of change and in relation to several important methodological and
theoretical considerations for the study of executive function.

Four programs of research in scientific communication 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Leah A. Lievrouw 《Knowledge, Technology, and Policy》1988,1(2):6-22
Selected studies of scientific communication, philosophy and sociology of science, sociology of knowledge, and information
science are reviewed according to the assumptions they make about scientific information. Based on these assumptions and their
historical order of development, the studies are organized into four distinct “programs” of research: artifact studies, user
studies, network studies, and laboratory studies. The four programs represent a continuum of definitions of information, from
the information-as-commodity definition that is embodied in the artifact studies, to the contextual, meaning-based definition
that is characteristic of the laboratory studies. They also provide a rich framework for a renewal of research interest in
this area among communication scholars and others interested in the social impacts of information.

The Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (R-UCLA) is described and used as a unidimensional measure of loneliness; conceptualizing
and assessing loneliness as a unitary, global experience. The present study suggests that the R-UCLA is a multidimensional
measure of loneliness that assesses more than one construct of the loneliness experience. Results of principal axis factor
analysis suggest that the R-UCLA measures three dimensions of loneliness: loneliness related to (a) “intimate others,” (b)
“social others,” and (c) the “affiliative environment.” These findings may affect the utilization of the R-UCLA in future
assessment, research, and intervention. These implications are discussed.

I discuss arguments about the relationship between different “levels” of explanation in the light of examples involving multi-scale
analysis. I focus on arguments about causal competition between properties at different levels, such as Jaegwon Kim’s “supervenience
argument.” A central feature of Kim’s argument is that higher-level properties can in general be identified with “micro-based”
properties. I argue that explanations from multi-scale analysis give examples of explanations that are problematic for accounts
such as Kim’s. I argue that these difficulties suggest that some standard assumptions about causal competition need to be
revised. 相似文献

The following paper proposes a viewpoint regarding the working assumptions, theology and practice for an “incarnational” psychology or “Christian psychology,” particularly with regard to psychotherapy. This essay is primarily meant to be an affirmation and guide for those Christian psychologists and others working in the allied professions. However, both veteran theorists and newcomers to such inquiry will benefit from this essay. Discussion begins with the dynamic of surrendering and receiving a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The understanding of the unique person as soul: in mind, body, life and spirit is discussed. In addition, the working of the incarnate Holy Spirit is elaborated for both therapist and patient in the regenerative and therapeutic process. Psychopathology is reframed in reference to the Judeo-Christian revelation of sin and evil. In addition, truth, falsity and psychopathology are considered in light of the essentially regenerated man/woman or “new creation” in Christ. Some practical examples for psychotherapeutic intervention are offered, including the unique role of the Christian psychologist and his or her relationship with both patient and Christ. Seven major assumptions of “incarnational” or Christian psychology, which diverge from purely secular (psychological) theory and practice, are presented. Lastly, Christian psychology is distinguished from both “integrated” psychology and theology; and Biblical counseling.

This article explores the concepts of safety culture and safety climate in an attempt to determine which is the more useful
for describing an organization's “state of safety.” From a review of the literature purporting to measure safety culture or
safety climate, it is argued that, although the two terms are often interchangeable, they are actually distinct but related
concepts and should be treated accordingly. The term “safety climate” best describes employees' perceptions, attitudes, and
beliefs about risk and safety, typically measured by questionnaire surveys and providing a “snapshot” of the current state
of safety. “Safety culture” is a more complex and enduring trait reflecting fundamental values, norms, assumptions and expectations,
which to some extent reside in societal culture. The expression of these “cultural” elements, perhaps, can be seen through
safety management practices which are reflected in the safety climate. Basically, measurement of safety culture requires in-depth
investigation including an analysis of how organizational members interact to form a shared view of safety. 相似文献

Executive Function and the Frontal Lobes: A Meta-Analytic Review 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Currently, there is debate among scholars regarding how to operationalize and measure executive functions. These functions generally are referred to as “supervisory” cognitive processes because they involve higher level organization and execution of complex thoughts and behavior. Although conceptualizations vary regarding what mental processes actually constitute the “executive function” construct, there has been a historical linkage of these “higher-level” processes with the frontal lobes. In fact, many investigators have used the term “frontal functions” synonymously with “executive functions” despite evidence that contradicts this synonymous usage. The current review provides a critical analysis of lesion and neuroimaging studies using three popular executive function measures (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Phonemic Verbal Fluency, and Stroop Color Word Interference Test) in order to examine the validity of the executive function construct in terms of its relation to activation and damage to the frontal lobes. Empirical lesion data are examined via meta-analysis procedures along with formula derivatives. Results reveal mixed evidence that does not support a one-to-one relationship between executive functions and frontal lobe activity. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of construing the validity of these neuropsychological tests in anatomical, rather than cognitive and behavioral, terms. 相似文献

This study investigated whether preservice teachers’ attitudes surrounding school grade labels influenced interpretations
and recall of children’s classroom behavior using the automatic attitude activation model (Fazio, In R. M. Sorrentino & E.
T. Higgins (Eds.), Handbook of motivation and cognition: Foundations of social behavior, 1986) as a theoretical framework. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: The expectation of viewing
a video of children in schools labeled as “A,” “F,” or “typical” as a result of the school’s aggregated student performance
on standardized tests. Results indicated that participants who believed that they were viewing a video of an “F” classroom
recalled more negative and fewer positive behaviors compared to the “typical” classroom. Likewise, there was a trend for participants
to recall more negative and fewer positive behaviors when viewing a video of an “F” compared to an “A” school. Therefore,
negative attitudes about a school label of “F” biased preservice teachers’ perceptions and memories of children’s classroom
behaviors.

Judgments about others are often based on information that varies in terms of its diagnosticity or usefulness in predicting
a certain outcome. Previous studies have demonstrated a “dilution effect” in which the addition of nondiagnostic or irrelevant
information yields less extreme judgments than those based solely on diagnostic information. Two studies investigated the
dilution effect in a juror decision making context in which no midpoint of a scale was provided by researchers. Study 1 examined
the inclusion of positive, negative, or neutral character information in a criminal case and found that this nondiagnostic
information affected attitude toward the defendant but did not “dilute” guilt judgments. The cases in Study 1 contained a
larger amount of diagnostic information than studies that demonstrated the dilution effect. Thus, the amount of diagnostic
evidence provided was varied in Study 2, and the results showed “diluted” judgments only when a small amount of diagnostic
information was presented. Limitations to the dilution effect were discussed. 相似文献

Several measures have been developed for the quantification of emotional intelligence. One widely applied method is the Assessing
Emotions Scale, whose factor structure has attracted much scientific attention. The objective of the present study was to
identify which of the previously suggested models are the most appropriate. By applying confirmatory factor analysis, we have
tested the original one-, three-, four-, and six-factor solutions. Results confirmed the three-factor structure to be the
most suitable solution. We suggest that the factors in this structure are better described by the labels “appraisal of emotions,”
“optimism and regulation of emotions,” and “intrapersonal and interpersonal utilization of emotions.” Supplemental materials
