Clinical psychology students' perceptions of an academic climate for caring.

There is a general consensus that caring is an important personal attribute of helping professionals. One way for educational institutions to develop a caring attitude in students is to provide an academic climate for caring. A total of 45 doctoral students in a clinical psychology program were asked to list specific faculty-student and student-student interactions which they believed reflected a caring attitude towards others. Components of this student-perceived climate for caring include mutual respect and support, personal interest, and informal socialization.

A note on the relationship between the comfortable interpersonal distance scale and the sociometric status of emotionally disturbed children.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between two measures of social attraction or status: namely, the recently developed Comfortable Interpersonal Distance (CID) Scale and a traditional measure of sociometric status. Both measures were recorded for a sample of emotionally disturbed, preadolescent boys who were in residential treatment. The results indicated that the two measures were very highly correlated. This finding means that the more a boy was liked by his cottage peers, the closer these peers indicated that they would like to sit next to the boy in a room. In other words, physical interpersonal distance seems to be nonverbal way of communicating liking for a person.
