The stranger and the spouse as target persons for compliance‐gaining strategies: a subjective expected utility model1

Abstract: This study examines the use of compliance-gaining message strategies in “interpersonal” versus “noninterpersonal” relationships. Subjects were asked how likely they would be to use persuasive strategies in a hypothetical situation involving either a spouse (interpersonal situation) or new neighbors (noninterpersonal situation). A subjective expected utility model is proposed to account for subjects' choice of strategies. According to the SEU model, subjects weigh the expected advantages and disadvantages of strategies both in terms of their persuasiveness and their effects on the relationship with the persuadee. Regression analysis supported the use of the SEU model to predict subjects' choice of strategies. Situational comparisons of SEU indicated that most strategies are rated more persuasive, less likely to damage the personal relationship, and more likely to be used in the spouse situation than in the neighbor situation.

The Institutional Economics of Karl Polanyi

Abstract: This article is prompted by my conviction that Karl Polanyi's contribution to institutional economic theory is substantial and largely neglected by practicing institutionalists. I base my conclusion about the neglect of Polanyi upon casual empiricism. His name is seldom mentioned in the major institutionalist periodical, the Journal of Economic Issues, except by those authors who had a direct, personal relationship with Polanyi, such as Daniel Fusfeld, Allen Sievers, or George Dalton. Polanyi is similarly absent from the major monographs and books on institutional economics, such as Clarence Ayres's articulation of institutional theory, Allan Gruchy's survey of neoinstitutionalism, David Hamilton's overview of evolutionary economics, and others.' Polanyi is not even indexed in works directly concerned with the problems to which he gave his predominant interest.2 My argument will consider, in turn, the animating concerns of Polanyi's work, his general approach or method, and his theory and interpretation of modern capitalism. In a final section, I suggest the contemporary importance of his contributions. In each phase of the discussion, it is my objective to indicate Polanyi's institutionalist pedigree. More specifically, I seek to establish his place within mainstream institutionalism as characterized by Gruchy.3 I am

Body feeling in human relations: the possible examples of Brancusi and Giacometti.

Abstract: "The body's cross-roads," in Rilke's words, "are the celestial streets that form what we are" (p. 227). "The evidential sensation of the whole body, not only of its weight, but also of its size, extension and sense of fullness" (Federn, p. 41), is with us all the time. Yet to much of this body feeling we pay no attention at all. The experience of the body is not independent of the environment, but is influenced by the interchange between an individual and the sensations which his environment gives to him. Of these sensations, the most important are clearly those produced by the complex stimuli of the social world. It is my thesis that body feeling is influenced by one's form of personal relationship, and that aspects of this bodily experience may be expressed in some modern sculpture. In addition, these changes in bodily experience may be determined by the working of a "sensory filter" and so have a neurophysiological basis.

Group sessions for postgraduate students

Abstract: Three group sessions were run for postgraduate students. These showed that the students wanted a close personal relationship with their supervisors, and that they often had little idea of what their research work involved. The students were shocked by the difference between their own attitudes and the supervisors'. Simple group work did much to help.

The Letters of William Halsted and Anton von Eiselsberg: A Very Special Friendship

Abstract: • William Halsted and Anton von Eiselsberg enjoyed an extended friendship. It was marked by a fairly continuous correspondence during a period of 18 years. Their letters were recently found in theHalsted Papersin the archives collection of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, where they had remained undisturbed for over 60 years. Written in English, this is the first time they have ever been published. They are of historical interest in that they represent the only known correspondence between Halsted and a major figure of the Billroth school of surgery. Their content provides a vivid insight into a close personal relationship that endured the tragedies and hardships of World War I. (Arch Surg115:993-1001, 1980)

Influential Factors on Divorced Parents in Determining Visitation Arrangements

Abstract: A group of divorced parents were asked how important certain considerations were when they determined visitation arrangements: visiting parent's best interests, custodial parent's best interests, child's best interest, and parental relationship. The child's and visiting parent's best interests were significantly more important than all other factors: the custodial parent's best interests was significantly more important than the personal relationship. There was no significant difference between parents who reported high hostility toward the ex-spouse and those who reported low hostility on how they rated the child's best interests. Only 14% of these parents reported legal influence as important.

On Being a Marxist: A Hungarian View

Abstract: The following text represents one of the first major fruits of the revival of samizdat activity and democratic opposition in Hungary since the late 1970s. The text originally appeared in 1978 as part of a collection entitled Marx in the Fourth Decade, which together with Profile (a collection of essays which had been rejected by official publications produced around the same time) marked the first effort at samizdat publication in Hungary. The editor, Andrhs Kovics, circulated a questionnaire on present attitudes towards Marxism among a loose circle of friends who in the 1960s had been caught up in the 'renaissance of hlarxism' in Hungary, an independent current of Marxist thinking which based itself on a revival of interest in the early work of Lukixcs, and whose ideas bore certain afinities to those of both the Western New Left and Czechoslovak democratic socialism. The contributors were asked to consider both their personal relationship to Marxism and its wider contemporary significance. As the editor's letter began, 'The thinking of the great majority of our generation was determined in some form or other by Marxism'. The second main question was; 'How far is or is not Marxism appropriate in Eastern Europe today? The recipients of the questionnaire were asked in addition whether they believed Marxism to be of continued relevance for the left in the West and in the Third World, even if they no longer regarded it as such for Eastern Europe.
