Each of these candidates was invited to submit a 500 word statement of how s/he felt about the integration of psychology and the importance of unity within psychology. The candidates were asked how they would encourage unity as president of APA. This statement could include comments on the importance of a general psychology, if desired. Division One does not support any one candidate for APA President, but the Executive Committee is inter- ested in who is running and in how they feel about the unity of psychology.

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. Brehm and others, Attitude Organization and Change.

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. Mr. K invited her to watch a festival from his office window, and when she arrived, she was surprised to find him alone. 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.
