The preliminary experiments conducted this summer with stu- dents in all levels of the Univer- sity as well as with high school seniors revealetd that students who are especially eager to do well on a test are likely to cling to the first method of solution that oc- cures to them and to be blinded to simpler but less obvious solu- tions. *I * * "FOR MANY' people an import- ant test is just another hurdle to be taken in stride," Brown pointed out. For others, however, the test- ing atmosphere seems to arouse anticipations of failure and a considerable degree of anxiety, giving them a tendency to freeze on the first tenable solution, he explained. The test, designed to measure the rigidity-flexibility personality traits also disclosed similar rea- sons for the formation of over- simplified solutions to social prob- lems. A PUBLIC opinion question- naire made up of "pat" social atti- tudes which are commonly ac- cepted, with space for the subject to indicate the degree of agree- ment with the statement reealed that the same student who "tight- ens up" in .an exam because of anxiety for his academic status is likely to adhere to ready-made, apparently safe answers to social problems. Students in university class- rooms and Detroit high school seniors w e r e introducd to Brown in varying atmospheres. At times he was presented for- mally as a member of the Office of Naval Research, inciting an- xiety among draft eligible males. At other times Brown sauntered casually into a classroom, was pre- sented as a graduate student working on a master's thesis who needed "guinea pigs" for research. In a relaxed and easy atmosphere the students complied, regarding the whole procedure as a psycho- logist's whim. In this manner, with a variety of atmospheres, he was able to compare the degree of difficulty in solving the math problems with the degree of acceptance of "in- sidious" social attitudes. Director To Go To ParisMeet Dorwin Cartwright, director of the Research Center for Group Dynamics will leave for Paris to- day where he will participate in an international meeting of social scientists. The meeting, which has been arranged by UNESCO, will center around a study of the problem of improving techniques for con- ducting international conferences. -Daily-Malcolm Shatz THE. HARD WAY-There is an easy method of manipulating three ficticious water bottles with capacities of 11, 25 and 8 gallons in order to have a remainder of eight. But tests made by Roger Brown, of the psychology department, show that students are apt to stick to the first method they find successful. (Hard way-- 25 minus 11 minus 3, twice equals 8 . . . Easy way 11 minus 3 equals 8.) 11 Events Tomorrow PROF. HOWARD Y. McClusky of the education school, Mrs. Wil- ma T. Danahue, lecturer in Psy- chology in the Extension Service, and Everett J.
