“…The latter finding points to a developmental feature with respect to the relative magnitude of affects in children as compared to adults, which has been previously noted (Gleser, Seligman, Winget, & Rauh, 1977; Gleser, Winget, & Seligman, 1979; Gottschalk, 1976; Uliana, 1979).…”

Empirical research on affects and their defenses has not progressed much beyond the clinical psychoanalytic treatment paradigm initiated by Freud. Recently there has been renewed interest in trying to reach a consensus on the definitions of defenses and in achieving their reliable measurement with subjects within and outside the psychoanalytic situation. One method of measuring defenses that focuses on the major data of observation of psychoanalysis-namely, speech-is the Gottschalk-Gleser (1969) method of content analysis. This article reports on a study using this method to examine 5-min samples of speech elicited from six different groups of individuals via purposely ambiguous standardized instructions simulating the request to free-associate. The purpose of this research was to determine how the magnitude of self-acknowledged anxiety and the defenses of anxiety displacement and anxiety denial relate to each other and to a variety of other factors, such as age, sex, intelligence, degree of mental disorder, magnitude of various kinds of hostility, and state of consciousness. The findings indicate that displacements and denials in mentally healthy individuals are more likely to function as coping mechanisms in contrast to their function as defenses or symptoms in mentally disordered people.This study examined the relations among emotions, defenses, and coping mechanisms. The principal aim was to contribute to the methodology of research that furthers our understanding of these psychoanalytic concepts, to the extent that they are reliably measurable.Research on drives, affects, and their defenses has not progressed much beyond the clinical psychoanalytic methodological paradigm initiated by Freud for the psychotherapeutic process and situation. Conflicting psychoanalytic theories involving these constructs have not been subjected to rigorous Requests for reprints should be sent to

“…This must have been an effect resulting solely from the combination of subscores, none of which was outstanding in itself. Similarly, the average numbers of words given by each group were unusually low when compared with those from the 15 to 16 and 17 to 18 year olds of Gleser, Winget and Seligman (1978).…”

“…The people in all these groups were, of course, currently experiencing events different from those experienced by the adolescents of this study. Comparisons with American adolescents, a group more similar in age, were also possible (Gottschalk, 1976;Gleser, Winget & Seligman, 1978) and with a special sample of American adolescents who had been diagnosed as sufficiently disturbed to need psychotherapy (Gleser, Winget, Seligman & Rauh, 1977).…”

To evaluate the effects of a youth work programme with a focus on interpersonal relationships, contacts were made with young people on the streets of a large Australian city. Verbalizations from them were recorded and content analysed and indicated that they were experiencing a poverty of interpersonal regard. They mentioned few satisfying interpersonal relationships and talked of being lonely. Comparison of young people who participated in the programme with others who did not indicated that the former had made at least short term gains in both of these areas, while other aspects of their experience outside the focus of the programme had not varied from the beginning to the end of the four month period of the evaluation.

“…This is an important metric, though it is incomplete according to experts in the fields of psychology and psychiatry (Gottschalk, 1955;Gottschalk, 1995;Gottschalk, Hausmann, & Brown, 1975;Jarvis, 1949;Kaplan, 1943;Malla, 1991;Viney, 1981Viney, , 1983. The Gottschalk-Gleser Content Analysis Method for measuring the magnitude of various psychobiological states and traits was found to be the most widely tested and adopted method for analyzing the emotional intensity of communication content (Gleser, 1979;Gottschalk & Gleser, 1969;Gottschalk, 1999;Gottschalk &Bechtel, 1982;Gottschalk& Bechtel, 1989, 1995.…”

Semantic Orientation of Sermons From the 1920s to 1980s—Areas of Consistency and Variability

Traditionally, the field of knowledge management has focused on knowledge that is created in work-related settings, in high profile organizations, and sectors which have high economic value. As the knowledge economy expands into all aspects of society, there is increased awareness of the value of understanding how people transfer knowledge in everyday contexts, beyond the formal work or business environment. Religious communities are "knowledge rich" in both foundational knowledge and beliefs and knowledge practices. To date, though, the knowledge management literature has not considered religion as an area of study or research. In 2011, researchers at Kent State University undertook exploratory research into the knowledge management practices of religious communities, specifically the use of language in sermons. Sermons are an important source of knowledge transfer and mobilization in religious communities. That research focused on the intentional and extensional language of sermons across nine religious denominations, including Evangelical Lutheran, Evangelical Baptist, Seventh Day Adventist, Catholic, Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, Congregational and Unitarian.
