I just received the following message courtesy of Marc Breedlove's newsletter:
------------------------------------------------ RETRACTION OF EARLIER STORY: http://www.the-aps.org/press_room/release10_10-18-01.htm AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR IN BOYS AND MEN IS NOT A LEARNED BEHAVIOR Reduced levels of a vascoconstrictor triggers physiological processes leading to fighting, biting, and scratching........ From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 18:26:00 EDT Subject: Re: AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR IN BOYS AND MEN IS NOT A LEARNED BEHAVIOR The paper is mistitled and was posted by error. It has since been withdrawn. Thanks. Donna Krupa ---------------- Under the circumstances, I regret that I must also retract the prestigious award I previously assigned to this striking news item. (However, their retraction is rather curious, as it only refers to the title, while the opening paragraph is just as bad, or worse! Moreover, the url they give still provides access to the unmodified, allegedly mistitled essay. Perhaps they didn't really mean it.) -Stephen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stephen Black, Ph.D. tel: (819) 822-9600 ext 2470 Department of Psychology fax: (819) 822-9661 Bishop's University e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lennoxville, QC J1M 1Z7 Canada Department web page at http://www.ubishops.ca/ccc/div/soc/psy Check out TIPS listserv for teachers of psychology at: http://www.frostburg.edu/dept/psyc/southerly/tips/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
