This study used behavior modification and reality therapy to bring about behavioral changes in a group of twenty severely retarded, emotionally disturbed adolescents. The staff involved in the project were trained in both procedures, and observed periodically in order to determine the extent of their use. The subjects’ behavior was examined using t...
Subjects were given either positive, negative, or neutral information concerning an attitudinal questionnaire that they were asked to complete. The positive information group obtained the lowest scores, followed by the negative information group, with the neutral information group obtaining the highest mean score. An analysis of variance revealed t...
The study evaluated a reality therapy program used with 20 institutionalized mentally retarded (mild to profound) and emotionally disturbed adolescents residing in an institution. Results indicated that 17 of the Ss increased adaptive behaviors and all decreased maladaptive behaviors. (DB)
Research studies have indicated that when subjects are given cues or information about the purpose of a research study the scores on a psychological measure tend to increase in a positive direction. In this study 100 undergraduate students were assigned to one of three treatment groups. The first group received information stating that high scores...
The study looked at the different reactions of subgroups within a sample of undergraduates to different research purpose information. In the sample there were 80 males and 206 females, 43 blacks and 243 whites. Ss were assigned to one of three treatment groups which received (a) positive information which indicated high scores on the dependent vari...
St/mmary.-The attitudes of white males, white females, black males, and black females toward changing roles for women and blacks were determined using a Likert scale. Principal components factor analysis wich varimax rotations was used to identify items that loaded at lest .40 on the factors. Significant differences at the .001 level (df = 3/82) we...
The study examined the effects of providing six levels of research information to 270 classroom subjects on the data obtained from three different cognitive tasks. The effects of the three tasks on the subjects' academic self-concepts were also investigated. No significant differences were found among the six levels of information for each of the t...
This study looked at time as the critical factor when providing research purpose information to S s in classroom settings. The sample, 239 male and female students in 16 classes at a Southern university, was randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups. Each group was provided research purpose information ranging from no information to complete...
The study was designed to determine if social learning theory and cognitive dissonance theory would adequately predict the modeling behavior of subjects on a novel task. The study was limited to a task on which subjects were provided negative feedback concerning their ability to identify the personality characteristics of others. A total of 60 unde...
The study examined the effects of providing six levels of research information to 270 men and women graduate students on the data from three different cognitive tasks. The effects of the three tasks on the Ss' academic self-concepts were also investigated. No significant differences were found among the six levels of information for each of the thr...
An attempt was made to determine what effect implementation of the APA Ethical Principles would have on cognitive and affective data collected in a classroom setting. A total of 126 graduate and 90 undergraduate male and female subjects were assigned randomly to six treatment groups. The groups were provided different levels of information on a con...

... Other researchers (Eccles, 1987;Jussim & Fleming, 1996) have suggested that psycho-social mechanisms, such as expectancies, are directly involved in the performance decrements experienced by women and minorities. Indeed there is a burgeoning literature devoted to the examination of how task relevant expectancies influence task performance (Bandura, 1977;Cadinu, Maass, Frigerio, Impagliazzo, & Latinotti, 2003;Dolly, Bell, Reynolds, & Saunders, 1979;d'Ydewalle, Swerts, & De Corte, 1983;Shih, Pittinsky, & Ambady, 1999;Stangor & Carr, 1997;Stangor, Carr, & Kiang, 1998;Stangor & Sechrist, 1998). For instance, Jussim and Fleming (1996) provide a narrative review of research devoted to self-fulfilling prophecies and their impact on task performance. ...
... Disorders involving psychosis and cognitive impairment were especially marked as being difficult to help with reality therapy even though psychosis has been shown to improve (Jeongsook Kim, 2005;Tollefson, 1980) and positive behavioral change has been shown possible for mental retardation/developmental disabilities (Dolly & Page, 1981;Robert Renna, 2004). Another disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, was mentioned by one of the experts as not being benefitted by reality therapy. ...
