Two views on IQs.

Compares the views of "Professor Hyde" (actually, A. Jensen) on the nature of intelligence as presented in a little-known 1967 article (see record 1968-08786-001) in Educational Research with those of Jensen as presented in his well-known Harvard Educational Review article in 1969. The differences in the articles are attributed to changes in the social and political climate between 1967 and 1969. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Citation analysis in the organizational sciences.

An analysis of citations made in the 1957, 1967, and 1977 volumes of 7 organizational science journals revealed that the number of articles on organizations has increased substantially (by 40% from 1967 to 1977). Data also suggest that interdisciplinary exchange is limited in industrial psychology, sociology, and social psychology. Journals and their contributors were able to be identified as producers or consumers of knowledge. (9 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Individuality: A biochemist's views on psychology's future.

Comments on R. J. Williams's (1967) book concerning human individuality, particularly the chapter on the future of psychology and psychiatry.

Some changes in the characteristics of articles published in the Journal of Applied Psychology over the past 20 years.

Reports a change in the mean length of hospitalization and related factors concerning 394 patients during 1965–1966 (59 patients), 1966–1967 (79 patients), 1967–1968 (77 patients), 1969–1970 (79 patients) and 1971–1972 (100 patients). The mean hospitalization period decreased significantly from 301 days in the 1965–1966 observation period to 191 days in 1967–2968 and 156 days in 1971–2972. Since the 1967–2968 observation period, the number of cases treated with high doses of psychotropic drugs was significantly reduced. The use of butylophenon derivatives increased year by year from 1965–'66 to 1971–'72, while the use of phenothiazine derivatives decreased. The percentage of full remissions was significantly reduced year by year, but the percentage of patients who had some pathological experiences at the time of discharge stayed approximately the same during the entire period. This evidence suggests that therapists have tended to discharge their inpatients sooner than before even if the patients have some remaining pathological symptoms, and that the discharged patients have been able to adapt themselves to normal social life.

Identification of Propionibacterium acnes and related organisms by precipitin tests with trichloroacetic acid extracts

During the months May-July, 1974, a follow-up investigation was carried out on hookworm infections in dogs and cats in order to study changes in the hookworm distribution in Surinam since 1967. Fifty-two cats and 152 dogs were examined for the presence of helminths in the oesophagus, small intestine, coecum and heart. In total 15,942 helminths were isolated; most of these (14,006) were hookworms belonging to the species Ancylostoma caninum, A. tubaeforme, A. ceylanicum and A. braziliense. The average size of the hookworn load in dogs and cats appeared to have decreased since 1967, especially as regards A. ceylanicum. The distribution area of A. braziliense had extended largely by 1974 to the east and south in Surinam. In west Surinam A. braziliense infection was not found, just as in 1967.. The remaining parasites were Dipylidium caninum, Toxocara sp., Dirofilaria immitis, Spirocerca sanguinolenta, Spirometra mansonoides, Taenia taeniaeformis and Trichurisvulpis.     

Note on Kagan.

Comments on J. Kagan's (see record 1967-06358-001) article on the need for relativism in psychology. Psychology is in the midst of a revolution in thought that involves the change from absolutism to relativism and a concomitant transformation in world view.

Survival and morbidity among children with low birth weight

Stillbirth and the mortality rate in low birthweight infants (less than 2,500 g) have been greatly reduced since 1967. 95% of all infants born in 1991-93 whose birthweight was between 500 and 999 g, and who survived to one year of age, would have died under the same circumstances in 1967-69. This improved survival is not, to any appreciable extent, related to an increase in demand at seven years of age for a basic grant or attendance benefit because of cerebral palsy or mental retardation. The number of basic grant and attendance benefits because of eye diseases has been reduced by about half for 7-year olds whose birthweight was low. On the whole, however, the number of basic grant and attendance benefits increased from about 1% in 1974-85 to 2.2% in 1986-94. This increase can be particularly attributed to skin and lung diseases. These results have been obtained by coordinating the record of the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and the records of the Social Security offices for all births (1,566,763) registered during the years 1967-93.
