Bowen, using the concept of differentiation, hypothesized that the way individuals learn to deal with their relationships with families of origin will influence the way they manage their relationships with their partners. This study surveyed a group of 53 lesbian couples on differentiation of self, internalized homophobia, and relationship satisfaction. We found that lesbian couples were not significantly different in their level of differentiation than random pairs. We also found that there was a positive relationship between differentiation of self and relationship satisfaction and that when considered together, internalized homophobia had the more significant connection to relationship satisfaction than did differentiation of self Implications for therapy are drawn from these findings.
119 undergraduate college students were administered the Rotter I-E Scale and the Motivation Sources Inventory. Scores were compared for a group of 66 students who were wearing watches and 53 students who were not wearing watches. The former had higher scores on External locus of control and higher scores on a measure of Instrumental Motivation as anticipated.

8 female albino rats were divided into 2 groups that were exposed to a DRL 18-sec. schedule. One group had water available for the first 30 days while the second did not. Ss with water available initially showed more reinforced bar presses but by the end of the second week rats with no water available demonstrated superior performance. After the initial 30 days the conditions of availability of water were reversed. The animals with water available consistently received fewer reinforcements for the remaining 28 days of the experiment. Also, they consumed far less water than did the group which had water available during the initial 30 days. The results are discussed in terms of schedule-induced polydipsia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
