Effects of physical contact in an encounter group context.

120 male and 120 female undergraduates participated in brief encounter group experiences that varied the amount of physical contact in the structured exercises: (no-touch, moderate-touch, and high-touch). Ss were assigned to 4-person same- or opposite-sex groups for the structured activities. The study was a 2 * 2 * 3 analysis of variance design (sex, group composition, and touch). Analysis of the Comfortable Interpersonal Distance Scale, the semantic differential, and the Risk-Taking Behavior Questionnaire was consistent with behavioral data in showing the positive effects of increased physical contact. Group composition yielded parallel results, with heterosexually balanced groups reporting more favorable outcomes. (19 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Reactions of internal and external test-anxious students to counseling and behavior therapies.

Studied the responses of 36 test-anxious students, who differed on Rotter's Internal-External Control Scale, to 3 forms of therapy (counseling, systematic desensitization, and automated desensitization). Support was obtained for the prediction that internal Ss would show greater resistance to the control implied in the 2 behavior therapies than external Ss.

Korrosionswechselfestigkeit von Kupfer und Kupferlegierungen,insbesondere von Mehrstoff-Aluminiumbronzen

Corrosion fatigue strength of copper and copper alloys, especially of multi-component aluminium bronzes The bending fatigue strength of multicomponent copper-aluminum alloys subjected to different beat treatments has been investigated by means of smooth and notched specimens exposed to air, distilled water or synthetic sea water. The corrosion fatigue strength is lowest in synthetic sea water. The influence of the structure is but small. Distilled water has less effect on the corrosion fatigue strenght. In the case of the tests in air, a correlation between fatigue strenght and strucure was found. With bending fatigue strenght tests in air, notched specimens mit certain from quotients yield, in some cases, higher values than smooth specimens. This abnormal influence of the notch disappear with additional corrosion.

Effects of experimental manipulation of self-disclosure on group cohesiveness.

Self-disclosure in 8-hr experiential groups was systematically controlled by providing detailed audiotaped instructions and illustrations through a series of structured exercises. Two levels of self-disclosure (level of intimacy) were established. Four 8-person, heterosexually balanced groups were exposed to encounter group tapes that instructed them to share intimate feelings and experiences. Examples of high self-disclosure and openness were presented to clarify the instructions. In contrast, 4 comparable groups were conducted by encounter group tapes that furnished only moderate levels of personal disclosure and interpersonal sharing. Groups in both the high and low intimacy conditions received the same set of exercises and differed only in the instructions and accompanying behavioral examples. All Ss were undergraduates. Results indicate that higher levels of disclosure produced greater group cohesiveness as hypothesized, on 4 separate measures of the dependent variable. Findings on 3 different types of self-report instruments were corroborated by an unobtrusive behavioral measure of cohesiveness (the group hug).

Empirical support for psychological assessment in clinical health care settings.

Psychologists in health care settings today find it increasingly difficult to obtain authorization and appropriate reimbursement for psychological assessments from 3rd party payers. Authorization and reimbursement denials often are based on allegations that empirical support for the utility and validity of psychological tests is nonexistent or limited. This article reviews a sample of the considerable empirical support that exists for the utility and validity of a variety of psychological tests for a wide range of clinical health care applications. Informed by data such as these, psychologists should become more effective in their abilities to seek authorization and reimbursement for assessment and overturning denials.

Problems and limitations in using psychological assessment in the contemporary health care delivery system.

Psychologists report limitations on psychological assessment services and problems gaining authorizations and reimbursement for these services from third-party payers. Documentation and categorization of these problems and limitations is based on responses from well over 500 psychologists responding to a broad solicitation for feedback. This article explores the barriers to access for assessment services, including resistance to psychological assessment, difficulties in the preauthorization process, problems with reimbursement, the clinical decision-making process, and larger systems issues. The authors make recommendations for redress of these problems through work with the profession, other mental health professionals, managed care, and patients–consumers and through political action.
