FOREWORD: SINCE its formation in 1936, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues has undertaken many projects. It has published three yearbooks, in which it has attempted to assemble the best available psychological research and thought concerning the problems of industrial conflict, of civilian morale, and of enduring peace. It publishes the quarterly Journal of Social Issues, each issue of which is devoted to the presentation and interpretation of research findings in some special area of human relations. It has subsidized cooperative research among university centers in this country. It is cooperating in efforts to organize social scientists throughout the world who see much to be gained by pooling their efforts to solve common human problems. It has issued public releases from time to time concerning issues which it believes can be illuminated by psychological understanding.

FROM THE PREFACE: The present work is the result of a series of connected studies, starting with some exploratory investigations in Oslo in 1956, continued in terms of a series of experiments in Minneapolis 1956-57, and followed up by a program for experimental research in Oslo 1957-58. The common core of the empirical studies, though, is a new kind of research instrument that was first tried out in Minneapolis during the fall of 1956. By constructing material representing stimulus persons systematically distributed in an "attribute surface" and by having subjects rank these artificially composed persons as potential friends, the author began accumulating new and interesting experimental evidence of particular relevance to the understanding of selective and intuitive social perception.

FROM THE FOREWORD BY GORDON ALLPORT: “Although written at various times between the years 193s and 1946, the thirteen chapters here arranged for publication provide a logical progression of thought. They dovetail so well that they seem almost to have been written intentionally for publication in a single volume. The unifying theme is unmistakable: the group to which an individual belongs is the ground for his perceptions, his feelings, and his actions. Most psychologists are so preoccupied with the salient features of the individual's mental life that they are prone to forget it is the ground of the social group that gives to the individual his figured character.

FROM THE ABSTRADT: “The sexual revolution (generally characterized as a liberalization in sexual attitudes and behavior) has been much publicized in both the scientific and popular literature. The present study is an attempt to measure the awareness of and responsiveness to sex in college freshmen and sophomore women who have presumably been exposed to this liberalization movement. Responsiveness to sexual stimuli was Investigated using three techniques. (1) The Draw A Person Test and (2) a Sentence Completion Test designed to elicit sexual material were administered to one hundred and four freshmen and eighty-one sophomore women. From this group, forty freshmen and forty sophomore women--designated as high or low sex responders--were tested in (3) a binocular rivalry stereoscopic situation for perception of sex words…”

FROM TE ABSTRACT: “According to the theory of cognitive controls (Klein, 1951), leveling-sharpening represents an important dimension of cognitive structure. It is believed that memory traces of previous stimuli fuse or assimilate, and that they do so more for some individuals (levelers) than others (sharpeners). This supposedly leads the former to differentiate less among successive stimuli than the latter. The Squares Test, designed by Holman and Klein (1951), generally serves as the criterion task for the concept leveling-sharpening. The test consists of a series of 150 squares of light projected successively onto a black screen in an almost completely darkened room. The squares range in size from 1.2 to 13.7 inches and the series is made up of 10 overlapping subseries. Subseries 1 involves the 5 smallest sizes (presented in 3 different orders), and the series progresses in stepwise fashion from the smallest to the largest squares so that Subseries 10 includes only the 5 largest sized squares. Subjects (Ss) are required to estimate the size of each square…”

FROM THE ABSTRACT: Within the literature produced by several student movements some very specific complaints pertaining to the social structure of the university appear. Two student movements on two different campuses were viewed with regard to complaints about the social structure of the university. The activist students complained that they were socially separated from the faculty, from the administrators and from other students. It was hypothesized that students would be connected to other students, faculty members and administrators by the longest informal communication channels. On the basis of Leavitt's (1958) study, it was also hypothesized that administrators would have the shortest informal communication channels to other administrators, faculty and students. The technique used in the present study to measure the length of informal communication channels was first used by Milgram (1967). Milgram called the technique the "Small World Method."….”
