PUB DATE Apr 73 NOTE 207p. AVAILABLE FROM Gulf Publishing Company, P.O. Box 2608, Houston, TX 77001 ($7.95) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS *Adult Education; *Adult Learning; Behavior Patterns; *Human Resources; Individual Development; Learning Characteristics; Learning Experience; Learning Motivation; *Learning Theories; Manpower Development; Organizational Development; Teaching Models; *Teaching Techniques; Training ABSTRACT Traditional theories of learning and the teaching practices resulting from them are reviewed. Most theories of adult learning are based on research into the learning of children, which in turn is founded upon theories of animal learning. These theories, formulated under laboratory conditions, are artificial at best--and not complex enough to apply to adult human beings. Emerging theories of adult learning, however, are Lased on the unique characteristics of adults as learners and result in differentiated educational practices. Human resource development (BED) is based on many of these newer theories and serves as a guideline for action. Knowles' andragogical theory is based on four assumptions which differ from those of pedagogy: (1) changes in self-concept,(2) the role of experience, (3) readiness to learn, and (4) orientation to learning. As a guideline for developing programs and for selecting andtraining teachers, the andragogical model of HRD is very applicab?e. Among the appendixes are "Is It Skinner or Nothing" and "An Approach to a Differential Psychology of the Adult Potential." There is a eleven-page bibliography.

Starting when she was 7, Mr. K grabbed every opportunity he could to take her on long, unchaper- oned walks and buy her expensive gifts. As Dora got older, she became more and more uncomfortable with his attentions, but she didn’t fully understand why until she was 14.

He kissed her deeply, and as he pulled her close to him- self, she felt his erection. It was at this point in time that Dora started to develop what her family referred to as “symptoms.” These symptoms worsened over time as Mr. K’s pursuit of her intensified.

The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: women’s professional sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0959353516641139 visibility in cognitive fap.sagepub.com psychology Jyotsna Vaid and Lisa Geraci Texas A&M University, USA Abstract Mainstream psychological research has been characterized as androcentric in its con- struction of males as the norm. Does an androcentric bias also characterize the pro- fessional visibility of psychologists? We examined this issue for cognitive psychology, where the gender distribution in doctoral degrees has been roughly equal for several decades. Our investigation revealed that, across all indicators surveyed, male cognitive psychologists are more visible than their female counterparts: they are over-repre- sented in professional society governance, as editors-in-chief of leading journals in the field, as Fellows in professional societies, and as recipients of prestigious senior level awards. Taken together, our findings indicate that a gender parity in doctoral degrees in cognitive psychology does not translate into a parity in professional visibility. We discuss a variety of potential reasons for the observed gender gap and suggest that, without attention to gendered structures of status and power, as noted by Shields, existing gender hierarchies may persist and be reproduced. Keywords androcentrism, professional visibility, women in academia, gender gap, cognitive psychology In her seminal article in 1975, Stephanie Shields discussed various manifestations of an androcentric bias that has shaped research in psychology from its very begin- nings. Other dominant, biasing frames in mainstream psychological research have since been identified, including heterosexism (Braun, 2000), cisgenderism (Ansara Corresponding author: Jyotsna Vaid, Department of Psychology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-4235, USA.

In particular the theoretical model and experimental investigations of three major research programmes are compared and contrasted:- Drive theory and activation concepts of emotionally based drive; the investigations of situationally specific anxieties, notably test anxiety; and the approach-avoidance achievement motivation model of Atkinson and McClelland. The aim of this investigation was to attempt to clarify the interaction between intellectual capacity, anxiety and performance, both in terms of anxiety to achieve success, conceived as a positive drive, and anxiety to avoid failure, seen as a negative drive.
