Control Principle

The aim of this study was to elucidate the influence of stressful social stimuli on the operation of the scanning cognitive control principle. The specific hypotheses to be tested were: (a) that high-scanning Ss will intensify their scanning behavior as stress is increased and (b) that low-scanning Ss will reduce their scanning behavior as stress is increased. An analysis of covariance design was used with pre- and post-measures of scanning and anxiety level as determined by a size-estimation test and the IPAT 8-Parallel-Form Anxiety Battery, respectively. Ss were 108 male volunteers from introductory psychology courses. Both hypotheses were supported by the data.

Topical Knowledge

Teachers of psychology tend to agree that learning about diversity is an important goal for undergraduate psychology courses. There is significantly less agreement about what aspects of diversity psychology students should understand. The current research proposes and investigates two potentially distinct ways students might understand diversity: more scientific understandings of topical knowledge related to nature and nurture and more humanistic understandings related to multicultural awareness and sensitivity. Drawing on standardized surveys and open-ended responses to diversity questions from the beginning and end of introductory psychology courses, results indicate that students’ topical knowledge of diversity is not strongly associated with multicultural sensitivity. These results emphasize the importance of clarifying the meanings of addressing diversity as a course goal and are discussed in relation to the multiple challenges of teaching about diversity in psychology courses.

Control Principle

Physiognomic perception, a tendency to suffuse percepts with an emotional or expressive quality, has been suggested as an additional cognitive control principle. In a study of an entire graduating class of 77 engineering students, Physiognomic Cue Test (PCT) performance loaded on a factor independent of factors representing field articulation, scanning, abstract reasoning, and academic achievement. PCT scores have been found to be related to career choice and to correlate significantly with measures of art aptitude and style, course grades, and personality test scores including the CPI. The relationships of physiognomic perception to intelligence, creativity and work style are considered. These data support the hypothesis that psysiognomic perception represents a significant cognitive control principle. Additional multivariate studies of more heterogeneous groups are indicated.

The inclusion of scholarship about Latinas into psychology courses is considered by answering two questions: (1) How do we evaluate the scholarship that should be included? (2) What factors should be considered for inclusion? To answer the first question on the evaluation of scholarship, six criteria are presented. The factors to be considered for the inclusion of scholarship about Latinas are illustrated in a discussion of three topics that are often presented in introductory psychology courses: identity, gender role socialization, and educational achievement and aspirations. Our discussion questions the validity of the conceptualization of these three topics when Latinas and other ethno-racial groups are excluded and offers evidence of the possibilities for clarification and expansion of theory and knowledge when they are included.
