Assertiveness and aggressiveness as potential moderators of consumers' verbal behavior following a failure of service.

49 men and 37 women participated in a study of the relationships among assertiveness, aggressiveness, and verbal intentions. Findings suggest that as a person's social network extends out from family to others. Nonassertive and Aggressive persons are less likely to discuss a problem with service and their response. However, more assertive consumers are significantly more likely to discuss these same circumstances with acquaintances and others. The nature of intended verbal communications was positive for Assertive relative to Nonassertive consumers. Sex of the subject did not appear to be of importance.

Associative intrusions in the verbal behavior of the first-degree relatives of adult schizophrenics. A preliminary study.

The first-degree blood relatives of schizophrenics were compared to a matched control group on a psychometrically matched test of responsiveness to associative intrusions. The groups differed on the subtest containing an associative alternative but not on the equally difficult subtest free of associative distractors. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that an overresponsiveness to associative distractors, well documented in schizophrenics, may also be a characteristic of their nondisturbed first degree blood relatives. The possible existence of cognitive markers in the relatives of schizophrenic patients that might indicate familial psychopathology was supported. Limitations of the present preliminary findings, as well as the case for additional investigation of the cognitive behavior of the first-degree relatives of schizophrenics, are discussed.

Verbal behaviors in depressed and nondepressed mentally retarded persons.

Thirty depressed and 30 nondepressed mentally retarded adults were selected from an initial pool of 110 patients seen at either inpatient or outpatient psychiatric settings in western Pennsylvania. These two groups were compared on each of 14 operationally defined behaviors in an analogue interview setting. Despite the fact that these behaviors are typically considered to characterize depression, no difference was found between the depressed and nondepressed groups. A discussion of the possibilities for these results is made.

[The effect of auditory feedback on the perception of verbal behavior in dynamic group psychotherapy].

A controlled experiment under genuine therapy conditions demonstrates that auditive group feedback once a week had the effect of improving the effectivity of the therapy. The individual's experience of his own speech behavior was dependent on the phase of therapy. In general, members of the group adopted a more critical attitude to themselves after listening to the recording. The possibility of generalizing from these results is considered.
