Misrepresentation of pornography research: Psychology's role.

Comments that D. Linz et al (see record 1988-04285-001) and B. L. Wilcox (see record 1988-04301-001) criticized the report by the Attorney General's Commission (1986) as exaggerated and misrepresenting research, however, S.

"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.

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.

Clarification of sampling in some early hardiness articles.

Some of the original studies of hardiness by Kobasa and Maddi and their colleagues in Chicago were characterized by a lack of explicit acknowledgment that samples were drawn from the same large population of business executives and by insufficient information on the number, varying nature, and timing of observations of these research participants. Specifically, two review articles (see record 1990-97699-012) (see record 1988-01423-001) have criticized two early articles (see record 1982-21492-001) (see record 1982-23579-001) as potentially misleading readers about the number of times that the hardiness effect on health has been independently found.

Toward an emancipatory psychology.

Responds to comments by W. Mieder (see record 1991-03996-001), K. L. Dion (see record 1991-03991-001), and K. J. Gergen (see record 1991-03993-001) on T. B. Rogers's (see record 1991-03999-001) examination of the role of proverbs in psychology. It is argued that theory is important for the critical social functions it serves, rather than just for the quest for truth. Also, consideration of an emancipatory psychology is recommended, in which psychology is viewed as a socially embedded discipline. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Perceptions of family normality: Refining our lenses.

Suggests that the work of A. E. Kazak et al (see record 1989-32643-001) on perceived normality in families raises issues concerning the limits of existing research on family functioning and common assumptions of clinicians about family normality.
