Histoacryl tissue adhesive in some types of retinal detachment surgery.

Preserved human scleral graft and histoacryl-blue tissue adhesive were used in four cases of retinal detachment surgery to obtain scleral buckling effect and to protect staphylomatous or necrotic scleral areas. The use of histoacryl produced a strong and resistant adhesion between the host and the preserved scleral patch. The postoperative inflammatory reaction was mild and disappeared within one week.

An objective measure of fear of success: construction and validation.

A 27-item Fear of Success Scale (FOSS) was developed to assess individual differences in the motive to avoid success. Females scored significantly higher on the FOSS than did males; the FOSS was positively related to Horner's projective measure of fear of success, and negatively related to Mehrabian's measure of achievement motivation; subjects (both males and females) with high scores on the FOSS (a) performed less well on an anagram test, (b) attributed success more to external factors, and (c) attributed failure more to internal factors than subjects with low scores on the FOSS. These results supported the validity of the FOSS with regard to its use in future research.

Encoding and decoding nonverbal cues of emotion.

Subjects ("senders") encoded six emotions twice, first via facial expressions and second via tone of voice. These expressions were recorded and presented for decoding to the senders and an additional group of judges. Results were as follows: (a) the ability to encode and the ability to decode both visual and auditory cues were significantly related; (b) the relationship between encoding and decoding cues of the same emotion appeared low or negative; (c) the ability to decode visual cues was significantly related to the ability to decode auditory cues, but the correlations among encoding (and decoding) scores on different emotions were low; (d) females were slightly better encoders, and significantly better decoders, than males; (e) acquaintance between sender and judge improved decoding scores among males but not among females; (f) auditory decoding scores were higher than visual decoding scores, particularly among males; (g) auditory decoding scores were relatively high if sender and judge were of the same sex, while visual decoding scores were relatively high if sender and judge were of opposite sexes; (h) decoding scores varied according to channel of communication and type of emotion transmitted.

Combination rules for inhibitory stimuli.

Startle reactions are inhibited if their elicitation is preceded by weak neutral stimuli at lead times of fractions of a second, or by intense startle-eliciting stimuli at lead times of up to several seconds. In three experiments (a) two weak stimuli, (b) one weak stimulus and one intense stimulus, or (c) two strong stimuli were given in combination. In all three conditions the combination provided more response inhibition than did either stimulus alone. Conditions 1 and 2 gave combination effects in which the inhibited proportion of the response was described by the rule for compounding the probabilities of independent events, indicating that the stimuli had noncompetitive independent access to the inhibitory machinery. The rule over-estimated the effect of the compound in Condition c, suggesting the presence of some other summative process, perhaps involving the prolongation of the refractory period.
