“…In the second study, subjects ignore (as in the self-reflection study) their druginduced emotional behavior (they are made to laugh or not laugh by two different drugs) because their clear expectations and knowledge of the external stimulus lead them to attribute their emotional response to some other irrelevant source. Similar effects are shown in studies of response to electrical shock (Davison and Valins, 1969;Nisbett and Schacter, 1966;Ross et aI., 1969). In all cases the subject is focused on aspects of his emotional behavior in stress settings.…”

Council with the express approval of the Governing Board of the NRC. Such approval indicated that the Board considered that the problem is of national significance, that elucidation of the problem required scientific or technical competence, and that the resources of NRC were particularly suitable to the conduct of the project. The institutional responsibilities of the NRC were then discharged in the following manner:The members of the study committee were selected for their individual scholarly competence and judgment, with due consideration for the balance and breadth of disciplines. Responsibility for all aspects of this report rests with the study committee, to whom we express our sincere appreciation.Although the reports of our study committees are not submitted for approval to the Academy membership nor to the Council, each report is reviewed by a second group of scientists according to procedures established and monitored by the Academy's Report Review Committee. Such reviews are intended to determine, inter alia, whether the major questions and relevant points of view have been addressed and whether the reported findings, conclusions, and recommendations arose from the available data and information. Distribution of the report is permitted only after satisfactory completion of this review process.PRECEDlliG PAGES__D NOT FILMED

“…They set out to investigate the notion that an individual's perception of personal control, in and of itself, can lead to behaviour change (Davison and Valins, 1969), and to test the effectiveness of such a perception in instigating weight loss. One hundred obese undergraduate women (mean percentage overweight=33.1) were assigned to one of ®ve experimental conditions: weight reduction manual, self-determination, behavioural contact, effort control, and no-contact control.…”

“…The effects of attributing physiological or emotional responses to drugs or to oneself have been explored experimentally (e.g., Davison and Valins, 1969). Additionally, in a study of patient behavior during repeated periodontal surgeries, Croog et al (1994) found that decreased patient distress during a second surgery was positively correlated with the belief that one's own actions (other than taking medication) can control discomfort after the surgery.…”

Preparation for oral surgery: Evaluating elements of coping

1995

Third-molar extraction patients (N = 231) underwent one of five preparatory interventions offering different levels of relaxation, control, and self-efficacy to evaluate the relative importance of each of these elements of coping in the context of an acute stressor. Prior to surgery subjects completed measures of monitoring and blunting. Results indicated that relaxation, perceived control, and self-efficacy were each significant, and roughly equivalent, contributors to coping, and operated in an additive way. Intervention type, and the interaction of intervention type with blunting score, significantly predicted distress prior to and during surgery. It was concluded that no single element is crucial to effective coping and that interventions that provide more coping elements are generally superior. Additionally, the interaction of coping style with intervention is as strong a contributor to coping outcome as the other factors. Those who prefer to distract themselves may benefit most from interventions that require the least possible personal investment of effort and attention.
