"The American Board for Psychological Services was incorporated to accomplish one fundamental purpose: to serve the public interests by providing a directory of agencies judged to be capable of providing competent psychological services to the public." Means by which ABPS intends to achieve its functions, the definition of "psychological service," criteria for evaluation of psychological services, evaluation procedures, means of appeal from ABPS judgments, reevaluations, and current fees and charges of ABPS, are discussed.

Radical behaviorism and psychology's public: B. F. Skinner in the popular press, 1934–1990.

B. F. Skinner is perhaps 2nd only to Freud among the most publicly identifiable psychological figures of the last century. This article reviews the popular press coverage of Skinner between 1934 and 1990 to examine how radical behaviorism was interpreted, portrayed, and received by psychology's public. Reactions to Skinner were often skeptical or condemnatory. It is suggested that some members of the public had difficulty accepting his views because of the disparities between the philosophy of radical behaviorism and the phenomenology of everyday experience. Furthermore, Skinner's status as a psychological expert was inextricably linked to the public's perception of his credibility not only as a scientist but also as a human being.

On the study of the f.c.c.-h.c.p. martensitic transformation using a diffraction approach—II. H.c.p. → f.c.c. transformation

Theory of diffraction from h.c.p. crystals undergoing martensitic transformation to the f.c.c. structure through a non-random insertion of deformation faults is developed. From a comparison of the theoretically predicted diffraction effects with those experimentally observed on single crystals of ZnS, it is shown that the thermally induced transformations in this material are growth controlled while the deformation induced transformation is nucleation controlled.     

On the study of the f.c.c.-h.c.p. martensitic transformation using a diffraction approach—I. F.c.c. → h.c.p. transformation

A new approach based on diffraction evidence for the involvement of shear at the atomic level is proposed to elucidate the mechanism of the f.c.c. to h.c.p. martensitic transformation. This approach is based on the analysis of the intensity distribution along streaked reciprocal lattice rows observed on diffraction patterns recorded from partially transformed f.c.c. crystals. The relevant theory of diffraction from crystals undergoing f.c.c.-h.c.p. transformation by non-random insertion of deformation faults is developed. This approach, as distinct from the conventional microstructural approach, can be especially useful in situations where the transformation strains are self accommodating in nature, such that there is no observable surface relief effect.     

Perceiving others’ personalities: Examining the dimensionality, assumed similarity to the self, and stability of perceiver effects.

In interpersonal perception, “perceiver effects” are tendencies of perceivers to see other people in a particular way. Two studies of naturalistic interactions examined perceiver effects for personality traits: seeing a typical other as sympathetic or quarrelsome, responsible or careless, and so forth. Several basic questions were addressed. First, are perceiver effects organized as a global evaluative halo, or do perceptions of different traits vary in distinct ways? Second, does assumed similarity (as evidenced by self-perceiver correlations) reflect broad evaluative consistency or trait-specific content? Third, are perceiver effects a manifestation of stable beliefs about the generalized other, or do they form in specific contexts as group-specific stereotypes? Findings indicated that perceiver effects were better described by a differentiated, multidimensional structure with both trait-specific content and a higher order global evaluation factor. Assumed similarity was at least partially attributable to trait-specific content, not just to broad evaluative similarity between self and others. Perceiver effects were correlated with gender and attachment style, but in newly formed groups, they became more stable over time, suggesting that they grew dynamically as group stereotypes. Implications for the interpretation of perceiver effects and for research on personality assessment and psychopathology are discussed.

These minutes are the official record of the actions of the Association taken during the year by both the Board of Directors (the Board) and the Council of Representatives (Council). The roll of representatives was called at each Council meeting, and more than a quorum answered to their names. Reference is made in these minutes to various reports, some of which will be published elsewhere. Copies of these reports were distributed to Council and are on file in the Central Office. As long as the supply lasts, extra copies of many of the reports are available from the Central Office. These minutes are arranged in topical rather than chronological order, and subheadings are used when appropriate. The main topical headings are I. Minutes of Meetings; II.

Nursing visibility: could the I.C.N.P. help?]

The present article discusses the visibility of Nursing care through the use of a Nursing classification "International Classification of Nursing Practice, proposed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). The usefulness of a specific classification is discussed and comparison with the medical classifications are reasoned. Examples of experimentation are brought for sustaining the utility of the ICNP in the clinical practice, in education, in the Nursing management and in politics. To have a common language world-wide sustains the development of the discipline and the empowerment of Nursing profession.
