The neglected bulimic: The nonpurger

For nearly 10 years bulimia has been recognized officially as a distinct eating disorder, and yet in that time only minimal attention has focused on the nonpurging subtype. The present investigation compared 21 DSM-III-R diagnosed nonpurging bulimics with 22 non-eating-disordered controls on three standardized questionnaires and during a unique assessment task. In this procedure subjects imagined that they were the character in a series of slides and audiotaped flooding scenes. The content of the stimuli ranged from food and weight cues to issues hypothesized to play a role in the development or maintenance of bulimia (e.g., rejection or loss of control fears). A MANOVA conducted on the three questionnaires was highly significant, with the Beck Depression Inventory and the Restraint Scale being responsible for the elevated bulimic scores. A repeated-measures ANOVA performed on the self-report ratings during the exposure task also achieved significance, as the bulimics reported higher anxiety reactions than controls to each experimental stimulus. Significant skin conductance reactions were detected when a group of only the most psychophysiologically responsive bulimics and controls were compared. The importance of continued comprehensive evaluations with DSM-III-R nonpurging bulimics was emphasized.This research was supported by grants both from the University of New Mexico's Research Allocation Committee and the Biomedical Research Support Grant committee. Portions of this paper were presented at the Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy annual conference, Boston, November 1987.     

The Prize:

The Prize: Disability, Parenthood, and Adoption details the concerns and experiences of the author and her husband, an inter-racial couple with disabilities, during the process that culminated in the adoption of their daughter. The author discusses the reactions of others-relatives, social workers, doctors, lawyers, friends, and her husband-to her desire to have a child, and reveals her own considerations and fears. She also documents the couple's experiences, good and bad, with fertility doctors, support groups, adoption agencies, and private adoption lawyers. The article should be of special interest to those involved or interested in the adoption process, particularly as it applies to disabled and/or interracial couples.     

Recognition: Recognizing The Brother And The Other: Avishai Margalit

Recognition is a name of a problem rooted in German idealism and Hegel's thought. It is not one problem but a family of problems. Indeed, it is a research programme, in which Axel Honneth is an important practitioner.
The tree of knowledge, like other trees, should be inspected by its fruits and not by exposing its roots. So my main concern is in rendering the problem of recognition in current idiom, rather than in Hegel's original idiom. What I shall try to do here is to present an account of the problem of recognition, which is parallel to the account suggested in Honneth's Struggle of Recognition . It is parallel in Plutarch's sense of 'parallel' lives, namely as an object of comparison.     

Linda问题:"齐当别"抉择模型的解释

大量有关人类归因判断的研究表明,人类经常违反理性概率公理.Tversky和Kahneman(1983)使用Linda问题等特定场景的研究发现,人们系统性地表现出违反理性推断标准,判断合取事件发生概率大于其组成事件发生概率,称之为合取谬误,并用人们使用代表性启发式判断概率来解释该现象产生的原因.然而使用启发式观点对合取谬误现象进行解释过于模糊不清.该文首先介绍了合取谬误现象及其解释模型,然后应用Li(1994,2004)提出的不确定情形下决策理论--"齐当别"抉择模型对Linda问题中合取谬误产生的原因进行了新的解释.     

Presence: The Touch Of The Puppet

Using the ideal of the puppet as model and foil, this article looks at ideas about presence, play, animation, and belief. Puppetry’s role as a vital, theatrical form has deep roots in universal, cultural experience, and the notion of an inhering spirit that acts for and through image, idol, toy, or fetish is perhaps the central thread running through all attempts to represent and simulate animate life. Through a discussion of the phenomenology of the puppet—the source of its sensory, aesthetic, and metaphysical power—questions are raised about the projection of desire and purpose onto other transitional things, real and imagined.

大量有关人类归因判断的研究表明,人类经常违反理性概率公理。Tversky和Kahneman（1983）使用Linda问题等特定场景的研究发现,人们系统性地表现出违反理性推断标准,判断合取事件发生概率大于其组成事件发生概率,称之为合取谬误,并用人们使用代表性启发式判断概率来解释该现象产生的原因。然而使用启发式观点对合取谬误现象进行解释过于模糊不清。该文首先介绍了合取谬误现象及其解释模型,然后应用Li（1994,2004）提出的不确定情形下决策理论——“齐当别”抉择模型对Linda问题中合取谬误产生的原因进行了新的解释     

The Teaching Reinforcer:

This study investigated the effectiveness of a videotape reinforcement procedure with first-graders. In an ABCB design, improved phonics performance resulted in an opportunity to win a chance to be seen by classmates on TV solving mathematics problems. The procedure resulted in large improvement in phonics performance. In addition, the children also exhibited improvement in mathematics. The possible advantages of this procedure are discussed.     

The Contemporary Woman:

The life situation of the contemporary woman is examined in historical context in relation to her roles as loved one, as wcoonrtkaecrt wanitdh apsa rmenottsh oerr . otShheer afdreu9 tu se nantldy t auo sw lasc kups rwolieth m iondaedlesq. uSahtee is hurried by peer pressures into adult sexuality and into jobs in the fast track. Social workers, with their intimate knowledge of women, are in a position to work as change agents. Implications for therapy are discussed around such concepts as: ethical issues, life history concepts, role models teachings, and loneliness and transference.     

The Buddy System:

This study presents the effect of the Buddy System on arrests for major criminal offenses over a three year period for each of 553 younsters (334 project and 218). The findings support earlier results which were based on only the project year, in that fewer experimental juveniles, who had been arrested in the year before participating in the project, were arrested within three years after entering the Buddy System. Once again, the arrest rate of those who had not been arrested in the prior year was higher in the experimental condition. In addition, the negative effect occured largely with those who spent more than one year in the Buddy System. These results, combined with an analysis of the base rate of arrests provided by the control condition (which showed variation from 10.8 to 81%, depending on sex and offense history), indicated that delinquency programs should focus on yougsters with a recent history of arrests for major criminal offenses, and that the base rates of the target population should be considered in the implementation and evaluation of a prgram.
