Abstract

Three experiments were performed to test weight<-d averaging model theory of impression formation. In Experiment I, the negative salience effects were found in the high-extreme-words-group, but not in the moderate-extreme-words-group when the dependent measure was in the favorable-unfavorable dimension. In Experiment II, the same two groups did not differ in their ratings on the likable-dislikable dimension. In Experiment Ill, the hypothesis that the higher the meaning-range of words, the higher the weights of the words are was tested. It was concluded from these results that the impressions in impresion formation experiments are function of the extremenesses of stimulus-words and ego-involvement-level of subjects to that target person.

Abstract

In a partial replication of and extension of an earlier study (Lee & Cha, 1974), the present study correlated children's femininity scores with their parents' child rearing attitudes. A femininity (MF) scale was administered to a group of fifth graders and on the basis of the scores of this scale, 4 groups (Sex &#x00D7; Femininity) of 15 pupils each were selected representing the two extreme MF score groups in each sex category. Parents of these 4 groups of pupils were given a questionnaire containing a set of child. rearing attitude scales. Results from the mothers failed to confirm the correlations observed in the earlier study. This failure as well as the newly obtained Sex &#x00D7; Femininity interactions on three of the father variables and main effects observed on two of the mother variables were explained in terms of the influence of child characteristics on of the parents test responses, who apparently through self-instruction responded to the scales with that particular child in mind who became the basis for classification of the parents. Possibility for a greater receptivity of the mother as opposed to the father toward sex-linked characteristics of the child and methodological implications of self-instruction on the part of parents in a study using a design such as the present one were discussed.

Abstract

It is postulated that human mind can be viewed as consisting of several facets or layers. One facet of them would be composed of ideas which constitude fundamental units of mind. Interest of gestalt psychologists and phenomenologists was addressed to percept, phenomenon, or gestalt by analysing the organization process of outer stimuli which, they believed, constitute the basis of idear formation. Those two facets seemed to be the main concerns of Western psychology and philosophy with respect to human mind. In the stream of Oriental thoughts, however, outer influences on mind were neglected. Therefore, Oriental schools attempted to directly grasp the core of the whole human affairs which control human activities. In this connection, a third layer of human mind, which might be called the layer of the self, could be postulated. One common concern of confucianism, Hindu psychology and other Oriental tradition is to realize the self through meditation. On the contrary, Buddhism does not accept the validity of human cognition and the self itself. In Buddhism the only reality of human existance is the subjective behavior, which might be viewed as a fourth layer of mind,

Abstract

A review of the studies on infant learning, stimulus preferences. and habituation supports the following assertions. Firstly, the finding that a very young infant is capable of control of his basic responses if required implies that his ability for differentiating critical stimulus features is sufficiently adequate to be utilized in response adaptation. Secondly, results from both stimulus preference, and habituation studies indicate that before the infant is able to manage his motoric response, he is extensively engaged in stimulus differentiation and information processing. Thirdly, evidence from current habituation research using more elaborate procedures suggests that attentional processing under habituation is more than a single phenomenon, possibly involving multi-level processing. And lastly, existing data support Jeffrey's hypothesis of serial habituation as a mechanism for perceptual development.
