Four members were selected from each family in a sample of 35 families attending a child psychiatric clinic in Melbourne.2A set of 13 bipolar personal constructs formed the basis for self and other ratings by the patient child, a sibling close in age, and both parents. A comparison between two methods of analysis-ANOVA and INGRID -sho wed the latter to be more useful in allowing the simultaneous display of judges, targets, and attributes in one geometric space. Two components were obtained by applying INGRID to a deviation matrix generated by SERIES and these were defined in terms of expressive and control behaviors. In relation to these components family members were split in two ways-first with the patients and then with the fathers located in negatively valued positions. These data were seen to accord with clinical observations that marital tension and scapegoating both occur in families with disturbed individuals.

This research focuses on effects of the increased racial/ethnic diversity among managers in large American corporations. It concentrates on links between two important variables in contemporary corporate/organizational life: job satisfaction and the quality of cross-racial interpersonal relations. It uses a theoretical framework based on Fernandez (1981) to predict a positive correlation between quality of black/white cross-racial interpersonal relations and job satisfaction. Results with modest effect sizes in each of two samples and qualitative data supported the hypothesis. The findings have the practical implication that efforts in the organization to improve quality of cross-racial interpersonal relations are not antagonistic to attempts to raise levels of job satisfaction.
