(Continued bom Page I) names, vocations, places of employment and schizoid symptoms (Lg. hearing voices) 6f the pseudopatients were falsified. Once admitted, however, they immediately stopped imitating these symptoms. Their release depended solely on convincing the staff that they were sane. Written accounts were kept by the pseudopatients about their experiences. The pseudopatients were often detected by the patients, but never by the staff. Their failure to recognize sanity is not attributable to institutional quality, since different hospitals were selected, nor to the length of stay which ranged from 7 to 52 days. In addition, visitors affirmed that the pseudopatients were behaving normally during their stay. ' Rosenhan attributed a physicians preference to diagnose a healthy person as sick rather than to misdiagnose an illness, as being one reason for the failure to detect sanity. An experiment was conducted at a hospital which doubted his findings. The staff was told that one or more pseudopatients would attempt to be admitted during a three month period. They were asked to rate each patient .uynrding to the likelihood that he was a pseudopatient. Although no pseudopatients in fact appeared, 41 people were suspected by at least one psychiatrist, 23 by at least one staff member, and 18 by one psychiatrist and one staff member.' This later experiment, according to Rosenhan, indicated that the tendency to diagnose sane people as insane is reversible, and that any diagnostic process so full of errors is unreliable. Does Power Corrupt? Yes, Says University Psychologist Does power corrupt? A Temple University psychologist recently reported the results of a study with university business majors which would seem to indicate the answer to the question is definitely yes! Dr. 'David Kipnis divided the students into two groups of supervisors: one group was told they had a variety of power such as promising or actually awarding pay. increases and threatening or actually administering job transfers, pay cuts or discharges. The second group was not given tliese powers. They were given the results of the workers performances and allowed to send messages to them but could have no personal contact. The results of analyzing questionnaires filled out by the two groups reveal that the supervisors who were given power responded much differently than those who had Vehicle Regulations On BLM Lands to be Published Off-Ro- ad Draft regulations regarding the use of off road vehicles on lands administered by the Department of the Interior will be published in the Federal Register, according to Secretary of the Interior Rogers C.
