Paper reports some definite differences in response latencies that clearly seem to reflect the existence of racial awareness in the white, second-grade children who served as Ss. (Author)

The results of both studies indicated that harsh'' parental practices predict subsequent social desirability responding. (Authors)

Findings are discussed in an evolutionary context, and with reference to the popular belief that to respond to his cries spoils'' a baby. (Authors)

This project hoped to specify the role of early, mother-infant separation in determining later maternal behavior. Clinically, the results suggest that such a separation should be avoided whenever possible and should be minimized when separation is unavoidable. (Authors)

Both 4- and 7-year-old children readily reformulated their initial messages when explicitly requested to do so by the listener, and both failed to reformulate when confronted only with nonverbal, facial expressions of listener noncomprehension. (Authors)

Study designed to reveal some of the intermediate skills which might account for the superior academic performance of children who perceive their reinforcements in those situations as caused by their own behavior (internal control). (Authors)

The results fail to support the hypothesis that intersensory integration is the sole or even the primary developmental skill accounting for matching task improvement with increasing age. The hypothesis that retarded readers fail to develop skills in intersensory integration is also not supported. (Authors)

The results of this study indicate that induction combined with withdrawal of love is no more effective as a punishment technique for the development of at least one aspect of conscience--self-criticism--than withdrawal of material reward. (Authors)

Findings of this study suggest that a parent-education component is important if the child is to continue to benefit academically from a compensatory preschool program, although there may be no immediate effect on the youngsters. (Author)
