Constructivism and socially sensitive research.

Replies to comments on multicultural perspectives and researcher bias made by F. A. Ibrahim (see record 1989-25694-001) and M. Gergen (see record 1989-25689-001) regarding the present author's (see record 1988-15683-001) discussion of ethical issues in research on "underrepresented groups" such as women and minorities. Inherent limitations of the individual researcher are noted. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"Race and gender as psychological variables: Social and ethical issues": Comment on Scarr.

Summarizes published findings (M. Bebeau and M. Brabeck, 1987; S. J. Thoma; see record 1986-24105-001) that contradict S. Scarr's (see record 1988-15683-001) suggestion that females score lower than males on tests of moral reasoning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

How many psychologies are there?

Comments that J. D. Matarazzo (see record 1988-05729-001) and F. M. Moghaddam (see record 1988-04315-001) add another dimension to the debate on the number of psychologies by raising the question of how many there are. Matarazzo contended there is one psychology and Moghaddam described several. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

"How vagueness can ruin a survey: Comment on Pope, Tabachnick, and Keith-Spiegel": Reply to Koltko.

Replies to comments by M. E. Koltko (see record 1989-26792-001) regarding the methodology used by the present authors (see record 1988-11972-001) in a survey of ethical and unethical practices among psychologists. The present authors defend the use of ipsative rather than normative measurement under certain conditions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Productivity, reputation, and correlational metric.

Suggests that the correlation metric used by G. S. Howard et al (see record 1988-09385-001) in a study of research productivity in psychology was responsible for the higher correlation between productivity and reputational rating in this study than in a previous study by W. M. Cox and V. Catt (see record 1978-21651-001). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Research productivity in psychology.

Comments on the study of research productivity in psychology by G. S. Howard et al (see record 1988-09385-001) as a follow-up to a study by W. M. Cox and V. Catt (see record 1978-21651-001). The present authors suggest caution in interpreting the 3 indices of productivity used in the previous report. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

SPA is subliminal, but is it psychodynamically activating?

Responds to comments by J. Weinberger (see record 1990-04808-001) on Balay and Shevrin's (B&S; see record 1988-20203-001) work on the subliminal psychodynamic activation (SPA) method, which, contrary to Weinberger's assertion, was not an attempt to destroy the work of L. H. Silverman (published 1974–1985) and others who have used the SPA method. Rather, B&S hoped to encourage investigators using this method to take a closer look at the theoretical assumptions underlying SPA (i.e., the generic vs specific nature of subliminal stimuli that might activate conflict-related, unconscious fantasies). Analyses are also offered of comments made by T. E. Moore (see record 1990-04745-001), M. D. Figueroa (see record 1990-04666-001), and D. K. Silverman (see record 1990-04785-001).

Publication counts and scholastic productivity: Comment on Howard, Cole, and Maxwell.

Argues that the study of research productivity by G. S. Howard et al (see record 1988-09385-001) replicated the failure of W. M. Cox and V. Catt (see record 1978-21651-001) to use a representative sample by selecting only in-house American Psychological Association (APA) journals and ignoring some journals published by specific APA divisions.

Is the "forgotten distinction" between psychology and phenomenology still forgotten? Reply to comments.

Responds to D. M. Snyder's (see record 1988-28275-001) 3 main criticisms of J. L. Jennings's (see record 1987-05956-001) discussion of E. Husserl's (1931) concept of phenomenological investigation. J. L. Jennings and C. A. Lucca also reject T. Henley's (1988) opinion on looking beyond Husserl, since they believe Husserl continues to stand as the clearest statement of the most important and "forgotten" distinction between psychology and phenomenology.

Flashbulb memories and underlying cognitive mechanisms: Reply to Pillemer.

We recently argued as stated by M. McCloskey et al (see record 1988-28560-001) that the available evidence fails to warrant postulation of a special flashbulb memory mechanism. Although apparently agreeing with our conclusion, D. B. Pillemer (see record 1990-27509-001) criticizes us on a number of grounds. In this reply we address Pillemer's criticisms.

Replies to R. DiGiuseppe's (see record 1988-30290-001) comments on the present author's objections (see record 1988-30350-001) to DiGiuseppe's conceptualization of rational-emotive theory. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

PhD recipients in psychology and biology: A comment.

Comments that the article by H. Schuckman (see record 1988-11977-001), reporting no difference in the rate of publication of male and female biology and psychology students in the 4 yrs following receipt of their PhD degrees, parallels the results of E. Goldstein (see record 1979-25912-001), and are in contrast with results reported by J. R. Cole and H. Zuckerman (see record 1988-15525-001).

Hermeneutic inquiry: Response to criticisms.

In this response to the criticisms of R. L. Russell (see record 1988-15663-001) and B. B. Barratt and T. S. Sloan (see record 1988-15649-001) on the present author's article (see record 1985-10720-001), he addresses 4 major points: hermeneutics of everydayness vs deep hermeneutics, grounding in language vs grounding in action, ontological vs ontical hermeneutics, and directing and correcting interpretation.

K. J. Gergen comments on the reactions to his exchange (see record 1994-37275-001) with M. B. Smith (see record 1994-37277-001) from R. L. Russell and M. D. Gaubatz (see record 1995-36714-001); B. Denner (see record 1995-36711-001); D. Mente (see record 1995-36713-001); and D. White and A. Wang (see record 1995-36716-001). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Types and tokens: Unscathed or unscathable? Reply to Downing and Kanwisher (1995).

B. W. A. Whittlesea. M. D. Dorken, and K. W. Podrouzek (see record 1996-25355-001) presented evidence conflicting with N. G. Kanwisher's (see record 1988-34836-001) type-token account of "repetition blindness," and, instead, proposed an explanation based on ordinary principles of remembering. P. Downing and N. Kanwisher (see record 1996-25313-001) argued that none of Whittlesea et al's results were inconsistent with the type-token account and that it emerged unscathed. In this reply, the authors argue that the type-token account escaped only because Whittlesea et al's procedures and analyses were defined as invalid on the grounds that they were incompatible with the assumptions of the type-token account.

"PhD recipients in psychology and biology: Do those with dissertation advisors of the same sex publish scholarly papers more frequently?": Reply to Sugar and Tracy and to Primack and O'Leary.

Comments that the focus of the article by H. Schuckman (see record 1988-11977-001) was the inability to replicate E. Goldstein's (see record 1979-25912-001) finding that people who published most scholarly papers had advisors of the same sex, however, J. Sugar and C. R. Tracy (see record 1989-30958-001) and R. Primack and V. O'Leary (see record 1989-30936-001) were more concerned with the interpretation that the most productive PhDs had male advisors.

On Linz and Donnerstein's view of pornography research.

Responds to D. Linz and E. Donnerstein's (see record 1991-12837-001) commentary on S. Page's view (see record 1991-12849-001) of pornography research.

Individualism-collectivism, social-network orientation, and acculturation as predictors of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among Chinese Americans.

Several culturally based variables were used to predict the patterns of help-seeking attitudes among a sample of 219 Chinese-American students in a large midwestern university. Cultural values operationalized by the H. C. Triandis et al (see record 1988-13667-001) Individualism-Collectivism Scale, social support attitudes operationalized by A. Vaux's (see record 1987-09232-001) Network Orientation Scale, and the continuous variable of acculturation operationalized by the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-ldentity Acculturation Scale (R. M. Suinn et al; see record 1987-30187-001) were selected as predictors of attitudes as measured by E. H. Fischer and J. L. Turner's (1970) Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale. Each of the 4 independent variables were found to be significant predictors of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. The counseling and research implications of the results are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
