This study was designed to explore specific aspects of the relationship between language and cognition. Comparisons of a normal population with populations deficient in verbal ability provide information relevant to the qualification of this relationship. In this respect, B.C. Indian children were an appropriate group for comparison with normal white children since they are apparently deficient in verbal development. It was considered worthwhile to determine if there are cognitive differences between Indian and white children and if there are, to determine if these differences can be attributed to differences in verbal ability in the form of verbal mediation. Evidence of verbal mediation is assumed to be exemplified in the relatively greater ease of executing a R over a NR shift. In a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial design involving age (7,8,9), shift (R-NR), and ethnic group (Indian-white), it was hypothesized that there would be a significant interaction between shift and ethnic group. A total of sixty-seven Indian and fifty-one white children was initially tested. However, nineteen Indian and three white children failed to learn the first discrimination to criterion within the limit of one hundred trials. The difference between these proportions was highly significant. Analyses were conducted for the resulting self-selected sample of forty-eight Indian and forty-eight white children who succeeded in attaining the first criterion and who went on to the shift task. On original learning, there were no significant differences or interactions for this self-selected sample. On the shift, there was a significant main effect only for the shift factor, with the R shift performance being superior to MR shift performance for both ethnic groups. There were no differences between Indians and whites in overall performance or in the relative difficulty of R and NR shifts. Supplementary analyses were performed to explore other possible differences. It was found that the white children were relatively consistent in the speed with which they learned both the original discrimination and shift while, in contrast, the Indian children were not. Those Indian children who were "fast" in original learning became "slow" on the shift, whereas those who were"slow" in original learning became "fast" on the shift. On the basis of post-experimental card sort and verbalization tests, it was also found that the shape dimension was more salient than the size dimension and that Indian children were not as successful in giving an appropriate overt label to the triangle concept. The specific hypothesis that there would be a significant interaction between shift and ethnic group was not supported. However, in general, the results from the supplementary analyses and the fact that significantly more Indian than white children failed to reach the first criterion suggested that there wore cognitive differences between Indian and white children. There was no specific evidence to support a mediational deficiency interpretation of these differences. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

The central purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the devaluation of women's psychological problems upon the recognition of women's behavior as deviant and the subsequent impact of both variables upon the recognition of women's need for psychological treatment. A secondary purpose was to determine whether culture and gender influenced each concept in this study. The study utilized a mathematical correlational design with a causal modeling approach to test a three-stage theory. The convenience sample selected for the study consisted of 80 subjects: 20 Arabic males; 20 Arabic females; 20 Anglo American males; and 20 Anglo American females living in a southwestern city. A three-scale instrument (each scale contains two subscales) was constructed to index the theoretical concepts. Reliability and validity estimates were conducted to determine the psychometric properties of the instrument. The theory was tested using correlational, analysis of variance, and multiple regression statistical techniques. The traditional orientation of the Arabic culture appears to account for the differences found in the data. Along with cultural influences, gender also appeared to impact upon two of the concepts in the neurotic level, devaluation of neurotic behavior (B = -.64) and recognition of the need for treatment of neurotic behaviors (B =.22), with males evidencing a lower level of sensitivity to women's psychological problems. Gender interacted with culture for two concepts, devaluation of neurotic behavior (B = -.28) and recognition of neurotic behavior as deviant (B = -.27), and Arabic males were the least sensitive group. Both culture and gender did not have an impact upon devaluation of psychotic behavior and recognition of the need for treatment of psychotic behavior. However, there were cultural differences in the recognition of psychotic behavior as deviant. Arabic subjects probably evaluated some of psychotic behaviors as religious rather than considering them as psychiatric disorders. Only the variable, devaluation of women's psychological problems was found to be a predictor of recognition of women's need for treatment. Also the variable, devaluation of women's psychological problems, had an impact upon recognition of women's behavior as deviant.
