Direct and Indirect Attitude Scale Measurements of Positive and Negative Argumentative Communications
This dissertation has been 63—50 microfilmed exactly as received GIBSON, James William, 1932- DIRECT AND INDIRECT ATTITUDE SCALE MEASUREMENTS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ARGUMENTATIVE COMMUNICATIONS.

The implications for persuasion are im- O portant. Research reported by Brehm suggests that pressures will develop to reduce the state of dissonance. Evidence to support this. statement is based on subject action. This study will involve an examination of attitudinal changes taking place in consonant and dis sonant subjects. The direct and indirect attitude scales will be utilized to measure the extent of attitude change as a result of the communication stimuli. I. Experimental Questions The experimental questions to be answered in this study are these: 1. What relationship exists between attitude scores toward censorship obtained with a Thurstone attitude scale and attitude scores toward censorship obtained with a forced-choice attitude instrument? 2. Do positive type communication stimuli induce greater atti tude changes than communication stimuli which are negative in structure? 3. Are changes in attitude by homogeneously structured audi ences as a result of a communication stimulus different from changes in attitude by heterogeneously structured audiences? O Jack W.

Epistemological Dizziness in the Psychology Laboratory: Lively Subjects, Anxious Experimenters, and Experimental Relations, 1950–1970
Epistemological Dizziness in the Psychology Laboratory: Lively Subjects, Anxious Experimenters, and Experimental Relations, 1950–1970 Jill Morawski, Wesleyan University Abstract: Since the demise of introspective techniques in the early twentieth century, experimental psychology has largely assumed an administrative arrangement between experimenters and subjects wherein subjects respond to experimenters’ instructions and experimenters meticulously constrain that relationship through experimental controls. During the postwar era this standard arrangement came to be questioned, initiating reflections that resonated with Cold War anxieties about the nature of the subjects and the experimenters alike. Albeit relatively short lived, these interrogations of laboratory relationships gave rise to unconventional testimonies and critiques of experimental method and epistemology. Researchers voiced serious concerns about the honesty and normality of subjects, the politics of the laboratory, and their own experimental conduct. Their reflective commentaries record the intimacy of subject and experimenter relations and the plentiful cultural materials that constituted the experimental situation, revealing the permeable boundaries between laboratory and everyday life. Above all, “observation” means that special care is being taken: the root of meaning of the word is not just “to See,” but “to watch over.” The scientist observes his data with the tireless passion of an anxious mother. —Abraham Kaplan, The Conduct of Inquiry (1964) hen Mike Freesmith, protagonist of the 1956 novel The Ninth Wave, volunteered to W participate in a psychology experiment, the Stanford freshman walked to the laboratory by way of a long corridor lined with lobotomized, nearly catatonic rats. Once he arrived in the lab, the experimenters instructed him to press one of two colored cards that would be displayed at five-second intervals; if he pressed the correct color, a penny would be dispensed. -

Samuel S. Wilks and the Army Design Conferences
Samuel S. Wilks and the Army Experiment Design Conference Series Churchill Eisenhart Senior Research Fellow Institute for Basic Standards National Bureau of Standards Washington, D.C. 20234 ABSTRACT A biography of Professor Samuel Stanley Wilks (1906-1964) of Princeton University, with particular attention to his early life, notes on the persons who shaped his professional development, review of his many facetted professional career, and his role in initiating and launching the U.S. Army’s annual series of Conferences on the Design of Experiments in Army Research, Development, and Testing. 1. BIRTH, FAMILY, AND EARLY YEARS Sam Wilks was born on the 17th of June 1906 in Little Elm, Denton County, Texas, the first of the three children of Chance C. and Bertha May Gammon Wilks. His father trained for a career in banking, but after a few years chose instead to make his livelihood by operating a 250- acre farm near Little Elm. His mother had a talent for music and art; and a lively curiosity, which she transmitted to her three sons. The predilection of their father, Chance C. Wilks, for alliteration is manifest in the given names of all three: Samuel Stanley, Syrrel Singleton, and William Weldon (Wilks). Syrrel, less than two years younger than Sam, was his boyhood companion; studied biology (B.S., 1927) and physiology (Ph.D., 1936); became Associate Professor of Physiology at the Air Force School of Aviation Medicine; and passed away early this year (1974). In consequence of Sam’s and Syrrel’s initials being the same, their publications are sometimes lumped together under “S.S. -

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2010 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. ERNEST ROPIEQUET HILGARD July 25, 1904–October 22, 2001 BY GORDON H . BOWER N ELOQUENT AND RENOWNED spokesman of 20th-century Apsychology, Ernest R. Hilgard, passed away on October 22, 2001. He died peacefully at his home in Palo Alto, Cali- fornia, at age 97 from cardiopulmonary arrest. His death brought to a close the career of one of the more prominent and influential figures of the behavioral sciences. A member of the National Academy of Sciences early in his career and leader of many professional organizations of psychologists, Hilgard profoundly affected the substance and direction of the profession of psychology. Known as Jack to his friends and colleagues, Hilgard enjoyed a most productive and lengthy professional career as an academic psychologist—essentially the last 75 years of his life. A longtime professor in the psychology department at Stanford University, he took mandatory retirement at age 65. But true to form, as an emeritus professor he continued to work on research grants and write books. Hilgard made lasting contributions to many facets of academia: first, as a teacher and writer of influential text- books and as a scholar who synthesized and advanced impor- tant areas of behavioral research; second, as an academic administrator who played key roles in the development of Stanford university and of its strong psychology department; 4 BIOGRA PH ICAL MEMOIRS third, as a critical voice for restructuring the governance of the discipline and the profession of psychology; fourth, as a prominent advocate and example of serious study of the history of psychology; and fifth, as a citizen who contributed initiative, ideas, time, and money to civic organizations and causes. -

B O R I N G Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. LEWIS MADISON TERMAN January 15, i8jj-December 21, 1956 BY EDWIN G. BORING EWIS MADISON TERMAN, for fifty years one of America's staunchest I-J supporters of mental testing as a scientific psychological tech- nique, and for forty years the psychologist who more than any other was responsible for making the IQ (the intelligence quotient) a household word, was born on a farm in Johnson County, Indiana, on January 15, 1877, and died at Stanford University on Decem- ber 21, 1956, a distinguished professor emeritus, not quite eighty years old.1 When a biographer seeks to find causes for the events in the life that he is describing, he is apt to find himself facing the nature-nur- ture dilemma, uncertain whether, in order to account for the traits of his subject, he should look to ancestry or to environment. Ter- man, as it happens—when he wrote his own biography at the age of fifty-five (1932)—faced exactly this problem in accounting for him- self.2 In his choices he must indeed have been influenced by the Zeitgeist, for, as the weight of scientific opinion shifted from heredi- tarianism toward environmentalism, his judgment shifted too throughout the forty years (1916-1956) during which this issue re- mained vital to him. -

University Microfilms
INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
