Elementary cluster analysis is suitable for this purpose, in that cluster scores are easily calculated, and their interpretation is directly meaningful in relation to the patient's progress. The advantages of cluster analysis are illustrated in comparison with the principal component analysis recommended by Slater.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"45 1","pages":"283-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87282485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixty children, aged 7–13 yr., performed two role-taking tasks and two tasks designed to assess concepts of distributive justice. Generosity was observed under one of two conditions, one intended to stimulate sympathy for a potential recipient of charity, one neutral in emphasis. Moral judgement ability as measured was significantly related to generosity but no direct relationship between role-taking and generosity was found. The results also revealed no interactions between the situational and developmental variables. The findings were interpreted as suggesting that age-related changes in generosity may be attributable to developmental transformations in moral judgement and further that generosity for this age group is primarily a normative and not a sympathetic response.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"36 1","pages":"277-281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88581083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recency effect is commonly found using this type of material when the subject's impression is measured after each component of the description is presented. This paper describes an experiment in which the recency effect is shown to be the result of inadequate instructions. With standard instructions, subjects view the conflicting components of a description as being independent and referring to different people; they therefore only report their impression based on the immediately preceding component and a recency effect is obtained. When the instructions stress that the two parts of the description refer to the same person, the recency effect disappears and most subjects attempt to form an integrated impression of the person.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"191 1","pages":"151-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77758446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The personal perceptions and attitudes of a group of good social-work students, as compared to their older and more experienced supervisors, were studied in a design based on Kelly's Personal Construct theory (1955). Significant differences (P < 0.01) were found between the superordinate constructs of the two groups. The student group used most often concrete descriptive categories, such as age, sex and profession. Primary figures, such as father, mate or best same-sex friend, were the most influential in their construing process. The constructs of their supervisors showed a more abstract ability of concern with themselves, others and their task. Their concepts centred on the professional ideal and revealed an internalization of cherished values. The study suggests a developmental pattern of concept internalization, from the more concrete to the more abstract, from leaning on immediate external cues to relying on oneself and aspiring for professional ideals. This change is consistent with the goal of academic training in social work.","PeriodicalId":76614,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of social and clinical psychology","volume":"78 1","pages":"183-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86060454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
