RESUMEN
Similarities and differences in subjects' touching behaviors in two racquet sports, tennis (n = 50) and racquetball (n = 200), were examined to learn whether postcontest interactive ritual is observed for racquetball as for tennis (handshake?). Analysis confirmed the tennis handshake and significantly more physical contact between tennis than between racquetball players. No significant differences were noted in postcontest verbal contacts or in differential touching by winners and losers.

This study compared touching behaviors of swimmers who were winners and losers. The number and location of interpersonal touches given and received by winners and losers of swimming races were recorded. Winners gave and received significantly more touches than losers. Most touches were hands, back, or shoulders, confirming earlier findings for college men and women.

A factor analytic study of demographic and behavioral variables on adult male inmates (N = 200) of a correctional facility in the South produced eight identifiable factors. The clusters formed appeared in agreement with clinical impressions of commonalities, though some surprises were found, such as no clustering related to seriousness of offense. Labels and descriptions of factors were presented.

A factor analytic study of the behavioral and demographic variables that describe male and female juvenile offenders (N = 172) in a southern correctional facility identified 10 factors for females and 6 for males. Items clustered much as anticipated for both groups, with family conflicts and individual neurotic traits forming clusters.

Carried out a factor analytic study of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of adult and juvenile male and female incarcerates (N = 559) to determine whether there were meaningful commonalities that exist for all persons involved in offenses. The obtained clusters suggest a number of consistent relationships contributory to incarceration and childhood experiences that predict difficulty in that period of life and in later adjustment.

Produced 10 identifiable factors in a factor analytic study of demographic and behavioral variables on female (N = 100) inmates of an adult correctional facility in the South. While the items were those frequently cited as contributory--abuse, neglect, etc.--they did not cluster as expected, but took on a more unitary structure, except for behavioral data from the interviews that were highly interrelated either positively or negatively.

Explored death fantasies of young adults through use of life scripts and future time perspective questionnaires. Results indicated a significantly younger age of death from disease and accident as opposed to natural causes. Type of death fantasied was markedly at variance from health statistics, with most projecting a benign end for themselves (old age).

Forty-two campers who were attending a summer camp for disturbed children were treated by a combined group therapy-token economy approach in which peer judgments were the basis for tokens awarded for behaviors that occurred during the preceding 24-hour period. Process behaviors were studied to determine whether this approach would produce positive verbal behavioral change. Four variables changed significantly. Environmental (irrelevant) responses declined, group responses increased, leader-directed responses declined, and decision-making, reflected by summarizing, testing feasibility and concensus, increased.

Thirty-two male and female college students participated in six 90-minute leaderless encounter groups in which they received videotape feedback, leader-facilitated videotape feedback, or verbal feedback. Statistical analysis indicated that feedback through a visual medium had no effect on self-concept, role-playing ability, or group coherence. Groups within the experimental conditions were initially different in their ratings on the dependent measures. These differences were maintained throughout the experiment.

Certain demographic factors related to the taking or nontaking of prescribed psychoactive drugs following discharge from a psychiatric hospital are isolated in this study. Seventy-four patients, 23 male and 41 female, were evaluated during their first two weeks of hospitalization and approximately six months after their release. Follow-up data were collected in the patient's home by a trained investigator who was able to ascertain the patient's compliance in the taking of prescribed medication and his level of behavioral functioning following discharge. Those items significantly differentiating the drug takers from the drug avoiders were tabulated, and tentative descriptions of the two groups were offered. In general, drug avoiders are highly mobile and unstable in their residence, marriage, employment history, and other social behaviors such as church attendance, while those following prescribed drug therapy are more settled and conforming.
