Some studies of active learning methods suggest that they are effective teaching tools, whereas others have found them to be no better than traditional lecture methods. The situation is much like the one that began to play out in the 1950s with respect to the effects of psychotherapy. In that realm, it eventually became clear that the question “doe...

Like most other college and university students, most introductory psychology students—especially nonmajors—tend to forget the specifics of what they learned surprisingly soon after the course ends. Further, the typical introduction to psychology course does surprisingly little to permanently alter many of the long-held misconceptions about human b...

Résumé Cet article aborde l’anxiété des enseignants en salle de classe et offre des suggestions pour combattre une série de mythes à propos de comment les enseignants et l’enseignement devraient être. Cela peut rendre l’enseignement plus confortable et productif aussi bien pour les étudiants que pour les enseignants.

Most new psychology instructors enter their first undergraduate classrooms with little or no formal preparation for their role as a teacher. The goal of this book is to review the body of teaching research that is available as well as some of the well-accepted lore, so as to make the first foray into teaching psychology a positive experience. Teach...

Until now mass media smoking cessation studies have relied almost exclusively on self-reports of smoking cessation because biochemical confirmation has not seemed practical. This study investigated the reliability of mailed salivary cotinine specimens for the determination of smoking status. Two simultaneous saliva specimens were obtained from 10 s...

Hypnotizability has been shown to be very stable for long periods of time in a person's adult life when no attempts at modification are made (Morgan, Johnson, & Hilgard, 1974). Even though it can be improved by several different means, attempts to modify individual hypnotizability may only allow people to reach a “plateau” level of hypnotizability...

Participant modeling, symbolic modeling, and graduated exposure were compared with each other and with two control treatments for effectiveness in reducing fear of dentistry in 33 adults who had avoided dental treatment for from 1 to 10 yr. Assessment of in-chair psychological responsiveness and overt behavior showed no significant pre-post change...

In addition to the comprehensive updating of all chapters [in this undergraduate textbook on clinical psychology], we have introduced significant new material in [the 4th] edition. We cover the latest developments in clinical diagnosis and assessment (e.g., DSM-IV and new versions of standard psychological tests). We have strengthened our attention...

Two case studies are presented employing a set of three standard fear reduction procedures to reduce fearful and avoidant behavior associated with dentistry. After the treatment program of symbolic modeling, graduated exposure and self-paced in vivo practice, both clients (who had avoided dentistry due to fear for six and thirteen years, respective...

The use is described of participant modeling procedures in the treatment of a long- standing and debilitating fear of closed places. Objective and subjective data collected immediately after treatment showed dramatic improvements which were maintained at 33 month follow-up.

Early dental experiences were described in essay form by 225 college students reporting either "high" or "low" fear of dentistry. Antecedent factors which appeared to differentiate the two groups most clearly included pain experiences and dentist behaviors. Results were interpreted as supportive of a social-learning model of dental fear acquisition...

Multiple channel fear assessment of 128 patients was obtained in the offices of five general practitioners to evaluate a fear assessment battery consisting of self-reports, physiological measures, and overt behavior indices. Results indicated that, in general, self-reports of dental fear were most strongly related to other subjective anxiety and pa...

A review of recent controlled, experimental research on the modification of cigarette smoking behavior led to conclusions that (a) activity in the field is still vigorous, (b) some progress in terms of treatment effectiveness, research methodology, and target conceptualizations has been made during the past 6 yr, particularly by those adopting a so...

The results of expanding research in psychological aspects of dentistry have appeared mainly in dental journals. The present article calls these developments to the attention of the psychological community and suggests areas in which psychologists from various specialties can contribute to them. It is noted that the "drill 'em, fill 'em, bill 'em"...

Self-reported unassertive undergraduates participated in behavioral role-playing situations under low- and high-demand instructions. Analyses of Ss' responses for overall assertiveness, response latency, and response duration showed significant effects and/or interactions of demand characteristics on latency, time, and assertion scores. Results are...

Sixty male and sixty female undergraduate subjects verbally reporting high or low fear of snakes were administered a behavioral avoidance test (BAT) under low or high social demand conditions. Overall, males displayed significantly less avoidance as well as more frequent snake contact and task completion than females, although the sex differences h...

When a client's problems are deeply rooted in his or her marriage, a therapist should usually work with both husband and wife. However, when either spouse refuses cooperation, unilateral marriage counseling, in which the client identifies problem areas in the marriage and becomes a behavioral engineer (with the therapist as a consultant), can be em...

5 groups of 15 female undergraduates reporting fear of snakes participated in 2 behavioral avoidance tests employing a snake as the target object. 4 groups were first tested under low demand for approach and then under the same conditions or under 1 of 3 conditions of demand increase, mediated by instructions, mode of administration, or both. The 5...

The use of in vivo and imaginal desensitization procedures in the treatment of a spider phobia is described. A diversity of in vivo programs, following a thematic hierarchy paradigm, are discussed in detail to encourage more frequent attention to and utilization of easily arranged, controlled exposures.

Two types of subjects (undergraduates satisfying a course requirement or volunteers for a treatment program) were administered repeated Behavioral Avoidance Tests (BATs) involving a live snake. Level of demand for approach was varied by presenting the test as a measure of avoidance (Low Demand; L) or a measure of physiological reaction which requir...

Varied level of demand for approach to a live snake in a behavioral avoidance test by presenting the test either as a measure of degree of avoidance (low demand) or as a measure of physiological components of anxiety which required that Ss handle the target object (high demand). Mode of presentation of instructions was also manipulated; 1/2 of the...

Behavioral Avoidance Tests (BATs) are often used in psychotherapy analog research to assess anxiety in relation to a target object both prior to and after treatment. Their use is based upon the assumption that they provide clear, behavioral data which are less biased than self-report or therapist ratings, but they may be open to other, more sutle s...

28 volunteers responding to advertisements for claustrophobics participated in a behavioral avoidance test. Each S served as his own control and was confined in a small, dark test chamber under both high- and low-demand instructions. Dependent measures were time spent in the chamber, and changes in verbally-reported anxiety, heart rate, and respira...

Compared the attitudes and behavior of undergraduate members of a commune (n = 24) and members of a fraternity and a sorority (n = 28) by having Ss rate 16 value concepts and participate in a competitive vs. cooperative game situation. As predicted, commune residents demonstrated significantly more favorable attitudes toward nontraditional values,...

Although laboratory analogues may play an important role in the development of behavior modification techniques, their utility is limited by the degree to which the variables studied in the laboratory share certain essential characteristics of the variables in the clinical context. The recent popularity of small animal “phobia” analogue studies has...

The use of in vivo and imaginal desensitization procedures for treatment of a fear of flying in airplanes is described. The direct benefits of the program, along with the positive effects it had upon progress on a series of other, equally troublesome presenting problems is discussed.

A smoking withdrawal clinic procedure employing social pressure was compared to an attention placebo condition and other control conditions designed to subtract “non-active” variance due to such factors as mere contact with an experimenter and individual effort, with and without the expectation of future help. Both Social Pressure and Placebo Ss re...

A fear survey schedule (FSS-II) was administered to 1814 undergraduates at the University of Illinois. Females reported significantly more fear than males. Factor analyses indicated that FSS-II taps the following major fear areas: Live Organisms, Death and Illness, Social Interaction, and Social Evaluation. Problems associated with the use of FSS-I...

Considers the nature of the problem posed by cigarette smoking, and the means by which its modification is attempted. It is obvious that the problem is a major one and that there is a real need for the development of reliable modification techniques for use with individuals who wish to discontinue smoking. The theoretical underpinnings of most smok...
