Relations between needs of friends and fiancés.

This study was undertaken to investigate complementarity and similarity of needs in mate and friendship selection. The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) was administered to 29 clusters of 6 Ss each. A cluster consisted of an engaged couple and a male and female friend of each fiancé. Evidence for similarity of needs in mate and friendship selection, but no consistent evidence for complementarity was found. Engaged couples were significantly alike on 8 of the 15 EPPS needs. In friendship pairings, females select female friends who are like themselves, males select male friends with few similar needs. The male fiancé selects the same type of woman as a friend and as a future spouse, but the female fiancée picks a male friend and a fiancé who are dissimilar. These findings indicate that different processes are involved in the formation of like-sex and opposite-sex pairs fulfilling different interpersonal roles.

"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.

An investigation of the effects of time and involvement in the relationship between stressors and work–family conflict.

Previous researchers have proposed that the time and energy involved in family and paid work should affect the relationship between stressors and conflict in both the work and family domains. Using a sample of 113 registered nurses, the authors hypothesized that the amount of time and involvement in both domains would moderate the stressor–conflict relationships. Results supported many of the interactions in predicting conflict in each domain, and implications for the health of working women with family responsibilities were discussed.

The effect of conditions of preparation on the strength of WC — Co hard alloys and the relationship between the strength of these alloys and their structure and composition

Conclusions This paper presents a review of investigations which elucidated the effect of the technological conditions of obtaining the initial tungsten powder and the grinding and sintering conditions on the strength of a hard alloy during bending. An analysis of the results of these investigations shows that the differences in the strength of alloys differing in carbide grain size is primarily due to various manufacturing conditions and not to differences in grain size.On applying various methods of regulating the size of the carbide grain, sharply different changes in alloy strength are observed. The influence of the size of the grain was not noted, since it was suppressed by the greater effect of the technological factors.On excluding the effect of changing the sintering temperature (and other variable technological factors) the dependence of the alloy strength on the cobalt content changes its form: the maximum strength between 15 and 25% cobalt, noted in many researches, is not observed in this case. The strength increases continually up to 50% cobalt.The dependence on grain size with various methods of regulating carbide dispersity, and the dependence of the strength on the cobalt content on excluding the effect of the technological factors differ substantially from the regularities described by Gurland [1].The theoretical theses of Gurland are ungrounded, inasmuch as the strength relations are at variance with them, when the effect of the technological factors is excluded.The relations actually existing may be explained on the basis of the skeleton structure of the carbide and cobalt phases.

Social–cognitive mediators of the association between community violence exposure and aggressive behavior.

There is increased awareness that exposure to violence in the community can influence students’ aggressive behavior at school; however, less is known about the mechanisms that mediate this process. Having an enhanced understanding of how community violence exposure relates to students’ aggressive behavior at school may inform the use of preventive interventions aimed at reducing school violence. Consistent with social–cognitive theory, the current study tested whether the association between exposure to community violence and teacher-reported aggressive behavior was mediated by biased social information processing. Data on 184 suburban adolescents and their teachers were analyzed with structural equation modeling. Community violence exposure and aggressive behavior in the classroom were significantly related and mediated by negatively biased social–cognitive factors. Results suggest that even relatively low levels of community violence exposure may increase the risk of students displaying aggressive behavior at school. Although gender differences were explored, social information processing appeared to be an important mediator for both boys and girls.

… and physiological psychology.

Comments on the importance of studying many species in physiological psychology (PHP), if it is to be devoted to an understanding of how behavior is related to biological structures and processes in all organisms, in response to G. Gottlieb's (see record 1976-21254-001) claim that a one-species (PHP) is adequate. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
