Item Metadata only Evaluation of remedial reading and number classes in a rehabilitation setting(Australian Group for the Scientific Study of Dental Deficiency, 1977) Kirby, N.; Nettelbeck, T.Remedial reading classes were undertaken at a vocational rehabilitation centre after it was found that a number of persons at the centre could neither read nor write. Subsequently classes in number and related skills were also added to the curriculum. Assessments after attending classes showed a significant improvement in reading skills and some improvement in number and related skills. Further assessment showed that most of the progress made was retained after six months absence from the classes.Item Metadata only Psychological attributes of young adult smokers(Psychological Reports, 1992) Winefield, H.R.; Winefield, A.H.; Tiggemann, M.To study the psychological aspects of cigarette-smoking in community adults, we examined longitudinal data from a sample of young people (from age 15 to 23 years). Questions on smoking behavior had been asked during the last five years of the study, and information on self-esteem, depressive affect, negative mood, hopelessness, psychological disturbance, locus of control, social alienation and health was also available. Current smokers in the last year of the study had differed from nonsmokers nine years previously by having more external locus of control and now were less likely to report their health as excellent. Most smokers also drank alcohol, but cigarette consumption did not differ for drinkers and nondrinkers. Contrary to expectations, current smokers showed no distinctive psychological attributes, and those who started or stopped smoking were similarly undistinctive in psychological terms. Results suggest that efforts to stress the self-destructive or antisocial nature of tobacco use have not been accepted by the smokers in this age group (M = 23.6 yr.).Item Metadata only Book review: Perspectives on socially shared cognition(Sage, 1995) Augoustinos, M.Item Metadata only Science versus showmanship: A history of the Randi Hoax(American Society for Psychical Research, 1995) Thalbourne, Michael AnthonyItem Metadata only Further studies of the measurement and correlates of belief in the paranormal(American Society for Psychical Research, 1995) Thalbourne, Michael AnthonyItem Metadata only Psychological characteristics of believers in the paranormal: A replicative study(American Society for Psychical Research, 1995) Thalbourne, Michael AnthonyItem Metadata only Social attributions and social representations(Rowolhlt, 1995) Hewstone, M.; Augoustinos, M.Item Metadata only What is an assumption?(P.F.
