The effects of punishment on resistance-to-deviation behavior in adolescents were assessed in a laboratory analogue designed to stimulate a naturalistic situation. Contrary to prediction, mothers appeared to be more influential punitive agents than fathers. (Author/CB)

Study was conducted to determine the effect a rule had on a child who was subsequently exposed to conforming or deviant verbalizations and/or behavior displayed by a televised peer model. (Author)

Study suggests that an important social stimulus is the sex of the child's peers. Peer sex and changes in the sex composition of dyads affect the frequency of occurrence in several categories of social behavior. (Authors/CB)

Results of this experiment demonstrate that brief, even fleeting, affective experiences appear to have significant implications for behavior toward others. The transient experience of positive affect makes children more generous to others, while the equally ephemeral experience of negative affect appears to make them more niggardly. (Authors)

Co-observer evaluations affected the imitation of older children when they were alone, but not that of younger children. (Author)

Paternal nurturance and some of its components were correlated significantly and positively with the children's IQ scores in the retesting, suggesting that these paternal behaviors may foster cognitive development. Indications were also found that other paternal behaviors may affect the intellectual growth of the child. (Author)

The form of the cardiac reaction to the novel stimulus was regarded as support for an attentional interpretation of cardiac deceleration. (Author)

Results argue against the too frequent use of human figure drawings as a single, stable, and accurate measure of intellectual ability. (Authors/CB)

Study examined the childhood intellectual performance of a sample of black college graduates from poverty backgrounds to determine whether or not (a) they were more intelligent children than their neighborhood peers, (b) they were more intelligent than their own siblings, or (c) they simply came from bright families. (Author)

The present study was designed to clarify issues concerning the development of the relative capabilities of modal systems when information acquisition is equated for the modalities by sequential presentation. (Author)

It is concluded that while models can serve as agents of inhibition, their inhibitory effect is less pronounced than their disinhibitory effect. (Author)

Wernerian developmental theory is used to examine both the kinds of changes in impressions of others that occur with development and the conditions under which relatively immature impressions may be produced by presumably mature individuals. (Authors)

Study supports the hypothesis that boys and girls, at the time they enter school, do not show the sex-related patterns of fantasy that have been found to differentiate adult men and women. By the age of about 9, sexual differentiation in fantasy patterns is clearly evident. (Authors/CB)

The relative weakness of sex-role labels as reinforcers, and the disappearance of differential effectiveness of male and female labels at the fourth-grade level would appear to be congruent with Kohlberg's (1966) cognitively based theory of sex-role acquisition. (Authors)

Reflective subjects generated characteristically different and more efficient hypothesis-testing strategies than impulsive subjects. (Author)
