It seems that certain psychologists get nicknames based on characteristics of their work; for examples,Leo Buscaglia was referred to as "Dr.Hug".I would refer to Mischel as Mr.situational personality,but Schachter certainly deserves to be called Mr.externality.I do not think that Schachter ever saw an externality he did not like.Scott reminded me that the shelled-unshelled peanut study had to do with obeses subjects being more sensitive to external cues for eating,(Personally I do not believe that).Schachter is also noted for another externality when he developped the Schachter -Singer theory of emotion which purports to explain emotions in terms of cognitive interpretation of prevailing experiencing situations.If if I recall his theory correctly (please do not quote me on this),he injected subjects with epinephrine and different subjects were placed with different confederates displaying different emotional tones.The emotions experienced by epinephrine subjects matched the situations they were in.
Btw,are their nicknames for the following: Skinner.Maslow,Hull.Freud,Jung,Bruno Bettelheim.Chtistopher Green.Mike Palij,Sue Franz,Ed Pollack (Mr.rollin my sweet baby's arms) and Scott (Mr.noted evidence) ? Anyone deserves to be called of Mr.touchy feely(Louis Schmier?) Michael "omnicentric" Sylvester,PhD Daytona Beach,Florida --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
