What they want and what they get: The social goals of boys with ADHD and comparison boys

Twenty-seven boys diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 18 comparison boys participated in a competitive tetradic interaction task. Boys were individually interviewed before the game about their goals for the interaction, and adult observers inferred boys' social goals from videotapes of the interaction. Social acceptance was determined by combining positive and negative sociometric nominations collected through individual interviews at the end of the summer research program in which the interaction was held. In their self-reports, ADHD-high aggressive boys prioritized trouble-seeking and fun at the expense of rules to a greater extent than did both ADHD-low aggressive and comparison boys. Observers judged ADHD-high aggressive boys to seek attention more strongly and seek fairness less strongly than of the other two groups. Self-reported goals of defiance and cooperation predicted boys' end-of-program social standing, even with interactional behaviors and subgroup status controlled statistically. Observer-inferred goals were differentially associated with social acceptance for ADHD and comparison boys, suggesting discontinuities in peer interaction processes. Differentiation of goals from behavior and the integral role of children's goals in peer acceptance are discussed.

Introducing undergraduates to research: A case study from the field of human-computer interaction

This paper reports on an experimental program aimed at introducing undergraduates to research in computer science. For two summers groups of college sophomores and juniors participated in an intensive research program on human-computer interaction. Working in small groups under the direction of a project director, they devised and carried out experimental studies in areas such as cognition of programming, interface design, and the training of end users of computers. Later a research component was designed for a regularly scheduled course on human-computer interaction, based on what was learned from the summer research program and modified to fit the format of a normal course. In this paper we describe the undergraduate summer research and its adaptation to a regular course format. We also discuss the lessons learned from this work.

A collaborative summer research program for community college students

While the benefits of undergraduate research are well established, little attention has been paid toward involving community college students in such research. This paper describes a five-year-experience with a summer research program that includes Los Angeles area community college students working side-by-side with Occidental College students and faculty.

Project SEED success stories wanted

Project SEED is an innovative career development activity for economically disadvantaged students: For 8 to 10 weeks during the summer before their senior year in high school, SEED students work on a research project for which they receive a stipend. It is the social action program of the American Chemical Society, and is the nation's original research opportunity program for high school students. Originally called Catalyst, the summer research program was part of a broad action strategy developed in 1968-69 by the Subcommittee on the Education and Employment of the Disadvantaged (SEED). The high school summer program was the only component of that strategy that flourished, and when Project SEED became a full committee of the ACS Council the acronym was redefined as a Summer Educational Experience for the Disadvantaged and the name Catalyst was dropped. In 1993, ACS will celebrate a quarter-century of unbroken service by Project SEED to more than 3000 young men ...

The use of goal attainment scaling to evaluate a cancer research training program for high school and college students.

Goal attainment scaling has been used frequently in the evaluation of mental health services. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of the goal attainment scaling methodology in the evaluation of a cancer research training program. Subjects were 62 high school and college students participating in a summer research program. Prior to the program, all students were asked to predict the specific outcomes they expected to attain in relation to eight independent dimensions of the research training program. At the close of the program students were asked to indicate the outcome they attained for each dimension. Students also ranked the importance of each dimension. The analyses indicated that participants entered the program with accurate expectations of their ultimate achievement and satisfaction with the program. Significant differences were found for expected outcomes on a number of program dimensions for the high school and college students at the preprogram assessment. Significant differences were also found for the high school and college students' importance rankings at both the pre-program and post-program period. Goal attainment scaling proved to be a valuable and flexible technique for the evaluation of a cancer research training program.

Summer research program for medical students

The decrease in the number of physician investigators is a serious national problem. Direct participation in research by medical students is widely regarded as a valuable component of medical education and as a stimulus to a career in research. A voluntary summer research program was implemented at the Medical College of Ohio at Toledo with student participation exceeding 20 percent for the classes entering in 1980 and 1981 and reaching 40 percent for the freshman class that entered in 1982. The research program was planned along with implementation of a new four-year curriculum. First-year students were encouraged to participate in research projects during the summer between their first and second year. Interested students were matched with faculty members by mutual agreement. An evaluation of the program based on publications and presentations by medical students and on responses of students and faculty members to a questionnaire was made.

Acoustic levitation of red blood cells

The banding of red blood cells in an ultrasonic standing wave has been observed in vivo in the blood vessels of chick embryos [M. Dyson et al., Ultrasound in Medicine 1, 133 (1974)] and in whole and diluted blood in vitro [N. Baker, Nature, Lond. 239, 398 (1972)]. This banding has been attributed to forces generated by acoustic radiation pressure. If this force is balanced by the gravitational forces, the red blood cells (rbc's) will be levitated. It is interesting to note that in the absence of flow the position of levitation is independent of the size or shape of the rbc's for acoustic wavelengths large compared to rbc size and depends only on rbc density and compressibility in relation to the surrounding host medium. Therefore the position at which bands of rbc's form can be used to obtain information about their mechanical properties. We shall describe our system for levitating red blood cells (a movie will be shown), and we shall discuss how information about rbc compressibility can be deduced.

The Velocity of Sound in Superheated Liquids

A simple technique, called the striation method, for visualizing an acoustic standing wave in a liquid [P. gang and F. C. Wong, Am. J. Phys. 40, 697–704 (1972)] is being used in measurements of the speed of sound in superheated liquids. To prevent the liquid from boiling, an immiscible liquid is placed at the free surface of the sample and the combination is hydraulically pressurized for a few minutes. This procedytre is designed to force pockets of gas trapped on container surfaces and suspended solid impurities into solution, thereby eliminating sites for the nucleation of the vapor phase [see, for instance, Harvey et al., J. Cell. Comp. Physiol. 24, 23 (1944)]. Preliminary results for water will be presented. [This work is supported by the Acoustics Branch of the U. S.
