The covariation between time estimation and simultaneous perception of visual stimuli chosen to evoke different amounts of attention-arousal was studied. Pictures with high attention-value or arousal potential slowed the conscious internal clock as compared with more neutral pictures. The loss of attention-value in the loaded pictures after prolonged confrontation could be observed in Ss' time estimations. At the end of the experimental session the difference between pictures with initially different attention-values disappeared in the time estimations.

A collection of photographic portraits was judged with the aid of Osgood's semantic differential. The data were factor analysed, and two dimensions emerged which could be associated with Osgood's “evaluation” and “dynamism” factors.

The article deals with the current trends in the integration of methodological approaches in theoretical and practical psychology. In the applied aspect the MARI technique is considered as a research and transformation technique. The structure of the method is described, the characteristics of the stimulus material and interpretations are given, the mechanism of the method as a research technique and psychocorrection tool is revealed. The article deals with the concept of archetype and symbol in the context of research and Advisory work. The substantiation of the technique as an integrative tool that allows to overcome the faults in the psychological knowledge at the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal levels in terms of the integrative methodology of Yurevich.

AbstractIn radio, spokesperson credibility is a resource that can improve the effectiveness of a message, and its analysis requires the study of how voice qualities influence the listener. The aims of this study are to design and test the suitability of a scale of radio spokesperson credibility, and to analyse the effect of the phonoaesthetic function – that is, how a spokesperson’s gender, vocal pitch, accent and their interactions affect their credibility. We conducted a 2 × 2 × 2 experimental design via eight radio programmes in which we inserted a radio spot as stimulus material. The hypotheses were tested on a sample of 987 Spanish radio listeners, and the advertised service was blood donation. The results allowed the validation of a scale of spokesperson credibility, traditionally used in audiovisual media, formed by three dimensions (attractiveness, expertise and trustworthiness), and provide several implications for the selection of a spokesperson for radio.

Sequential and parallel scanning models were devised to predict Ss' selections of boundaries between dissimilar regions on one-dimensional film strips. The use of this type of stimulus material is justified and the method of its construction is discussed. Variations of the original film strips were employed to provide further tests of the models' predicted boundary choices. General agreement was obtained between Ss' boundary selections and those predicted by the models.

The release from proactive inhibition (PI) paradigm has been widely used as a technique for exploring the encoding dimensions of short-term memory for verbal items. PI release data have been used not only to infer particular memory codes but also to index their relative salience. In the present study, the effects of manipulating the colour (red or black) in which the stimulus material is printed were investigated in two separate experiments. No release effect was obtained in the first, where common two-syllable words were presented. In the second, where consonant trigrams were presented, a large effect was found. Since the same colour feature was manipulated in each experiment, it is argued that this pattern of results has serious implications for the use of PI release data as a technique for mapping the encoding dimensions of short-term memory.
