Teachers generally agree that curiosity is a good thing that needs to be fostered: that the student who is curious is more desirous of knowledge, more attentive, and more interested in learning than the student who is less inquisitive. However, there are instances of curiosity which harbor a blamable desire for knowledge. The medieval philosopher Thomas Aquinas is particularly helpful in distinguishing between the virtue of "studiositas" (or studiousness) and the vice opposed to it,...

As a teacher the author often wishes that his students were more curious. Yet, Alice Ramos (this issue) proposes that curiosity can be a vice. She writes that there are times when a student might be motivated by a "blamable desire for knowledge." Ramos bases this claim on a distinction made by Thomas Aquinas, the thirteenth-century Aristotelian philosopher and theologian. Aquinas splits the desire to learn into two types: "curiositas" (or curiosity)--which he describes as a...

Most of the research findings on the relationship between traditional gender-role traits and self-concept suggest that only traditionally masculine traits relate significantly to a positive self-concept for both males and females. This research has been limited in two ways. First, most studies have used student samples; second, most have used single-score measures of self-concept. The present study addresses those limitations by testing relationships between gender-role traits and a broad...

This paper offers a philosophical inquiry into conceptions of resilience--identifying it first as a set of individual traits or characteristics and, secondly, as a process existing within relationships. Both approaches unwittingly may reinforce existing inequities and marginalization as they are used to prepare students for the world. Alternatively, suggestions for arriving at a conception of resilience that potentially is meaningful, empowering, and transforming are presented.

Previous research has suggested that similarities and differences in specific personality factors are associated with differences in marital stability. Most findings were based on assessments of personality after marriage, thus confounding the effects of marriage on personality. This study was conducted to examine congruence between spouses' personality assessed prior to marriage with the status of the marriage after 3 to 5 years of marriage. Subjects were 72 couples between the ages of 16 and...

This paper examines the issue of violence in three settings: (1) outside the home; (2) toward a spouse; and (3) parent-to-child. The social environment dictates greater sanctions against hitting non-family people than it does for hitting family members. Also, those people who are prone to hit outside the family would be more likely to exercise violence toward their spouses and children. Conversely, those who refrain from using violence within the family would be expected to show a lower...

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are subjective experiences at the threshold of death which can include strong positive affect, dissociation from the physical body, and paranormal/transcendental phenomena. Empirical investigation of NDEs has typically relied upon retrospective reports and personality studies of individuals who have come close to death (e.g., through accidents, illness, surgical procedures, etc.) and later recovered. Psychological understanding of NDEs has been complicated by the...

The field of moral development has broadened recently from its traditional Kohlbergian emphasis on justice to include other constructs such as caring and forgiveness. The utility of forgiveness has been recognized recently by physicians working with cancer patients, and by therapists interested in anger reduction in clients. This study attempted to construct a measure of psychological forgiveness. Initial reliability and validity estimates are described for one of six cross-cultural samples. A...

Social- and virtue-epistemologies connect intellectual and moral concerns in ways significant for education and its theory. For most educationists, epistemic and ethical virtues are no longer dissociated. However, many political framings or operations of epistemic virtues and vices remain neglected in educational discourses. This article illustrates why a politicization of epistemic issues is relevant to education through reference to political performances of a curiosity typically considered...

Spearman's notions of mental energy and mental span presage modern conceptions of attentional resources and working memory as fundamental to intelligence.

Because attentional resources are salient in both historical and current conceptions of intelligence, the occurrence of multiple and...

Considerable evidence has been found to support the hypothesis that actors' and observers' attributions diverge. It is also becoming clear that this divergence is not the result of a single process, but is the result of factors which co-occur and differentiate actors from observers.
