PETER DUNN-RANKIN, DONALD A. LETON1973 Volume 15 Issue 2 Pages 51-58

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAn analysis of the similarity of characters in a new Japanese type font: Typos 35 was determined by template matching. A measure of the area that pairs of characters have in common was used as an index of similarity. An empirical study was also performed in which a free clustering of the same Japanese letters was performed by adult non-readers of Japanese. A comparison between the results of these two experiments is presented. The comparison indicates a general similarity of dimensional structures for the characters under both measurement techniques. Specific differences, however, suggest a global and specificfeature theory of letter similarity determined in a two stage process.View full abstractDownload PDF (484K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTwo experiments were performed which investigated the roles of goal box experience and sucrose novelty on sucrose-incentive-shift performance. It was hypothesized that both post-reinforcement delay and early sucrose experience would lead to rapid response decrements following an incentive reduction. Neither of these hypotheses were supported and further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism involved in the slow behavioral adjustments to decreased sucrose rewards.View full abstractDownload PDF (431K) -
A CASE-STUDY OF LEARNING IN SUBJECTIVE CULTUREYASUMASA TANAKA1973 Volume 15 Issue 2 Pages 65-81

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS2 studies are reported in this paper concerning social attitudes of Japanese and American college Ss toward various concepts related to nuclear and space science and technology. The first, Japanese-only study shows that, contrary to a common belief, the deep emotional “rejection reaction” to nuclear matters, known in Japan often as the “nuclear allergy”, is not very salient for at least 2 out of 3 Japanese Ss, who believe that Japan will go nuclear within a limited length of time All the concepts related to nuclear experiments, however, are seen by the Japanese as highly undesirable. The second, Japanese-American cross-cultural study reveals that despite difference in cultures, the meaning of complex concepts related to nuclear and space science and technology may be lawfully predicted from the knowledge of the meaning of their components. Nonetheless, it is once again observed that all nuclear matters connote to the Japanese something highly undesirable whereas the Americans tend to discriminate between acceptable and unacceptable nuclear matters.View full abstractDownload PDF (1214K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSProcedure: The self-concept (S-C), self-ideal (S-I), perceived-self (P-S), and role-expectation (R-C) of 73 Nurses (N) and 73 alcoholic patients (AP) chosen from three populations (rural Japan (RJ) urban Japan (UJ), and California (US)) were measured by questionnaire. Data analysis: Non-parametrical tests, factor analysis, and canonical analysis were conducted. Results were scrutinized from clinical-psychological, sociological, and transcultural viewpoints.“Socialization”, active and passive one, “Egoism”(narcissism), and “Repentance” were extracted for the AP;“Active friend”, “Accepting mother”, and “Occupational role consciousness” for the N. Degree of insight in his being an AP and the N's feeling more like a mother or an equal mate primarily account for the transcultural differences.
Descriptors: S-C=self concept, S-I=self ideal, P-S=perceived self, R-E=role expectation, N=nurse, AP=alcoholic patient, US=U. S. A., J=Japanese, RJ=rural Japanese, UJ=urban Japanese, TC=Therapeutic Community.(A. v. Wallenberg)View full abstractDownload PDF (731K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAfter-effects of I-circles of various sizes on a T-circle of a constant size (1 degree) were measured by means of the method of transposition (Oyama, 1959) for 5 Ss under four distance conditions of I- and T-circles, Near-Near, Far-Near, Far-Far, and Near-Far. A white card with a fixation mark was presented 1 sec at the same distance as the T-figure between the I-and T-periods to make S's eyes to ready to fixate the T-figure. Constancy measurements made in the same experimental situation indicated strong tendencies to size constancy. The results of the four conditions were very similar to one another, when they were represented as a function of the retinal-size ratio of the I-to T-circle, but they were quite different when they were represented as a function of the apparent-size ratio. It was concluded that the retinal size determines figural aftereffect.View full abstractDownload PDF (507K) -
