The purpose of this study was to assess the moral atmosphere of Maharishi International University/ University High School (MIU/UHS). A comparison was made between MIUIUHS and 1) the students' previous schools attended before enrolling in MIU/UHS and 2) the participatory democratic schools of Higgins, Power, and Kohlberg's (1981) study. Moral atmosphere is defined as consisting of the individua...

This paper explores transformations of self through pilgrimage consumption. A three year ethnographic study of Lourdes, one of the largest Catholic pilgrimage destinations, reveals the concept of “mini-miracles” to refer to those miracles that occur in and are important to an individual’s life, but are unlikely ever to be officially deemed as miracles in the eyes of the church. Mini-miracles tr...

The reasons for this are manifold' Some are rooted in the theoretical developments in the psychology of motivation (see Geen, 1995;-Gollwitzer, t99l; Heckh"or"t, 1991; Kuhl, 1983), others within the impact of the cognitive revolution on social psychology (see Fiske, f9ö3b; ...

Applying regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997), we hypothesized that success-related approach motivation and increased expectancies are more likely to occur when performers are in a promotion than a prevention focus and that failure-related avoidance motivation and decreased expectancies are more likely to occur when performers are in a prevention than a promotion focus. Study 1 used arm flex...

Here I recap the scientific and personal background of the delineation of the amyloid cascade hypothesis for Alzheimer's disease that I wrote with Gerry Higgins and the events leading to the writing of that influential review.

Introduction Forty years ago, Robert Gagne published the first edition of his book The Conditions of Learning (1965) in which he proposed nine events of instruction that provide a sequence for organizing a lesson. These events remain the foundation of current instructional design practice (Reiser, 2002; Richey, 2000). They represent desirable conditions in an instructional program and increase ...

This paper is the second in a series exploring the properties of a functor which assigns a homotopy double groupoid with connections to a Hausdorff space. We show that this functor satisfies a version of the van Kampen theorem, and so is a suitable tool for nonabelian, 2-dimensional, local-to-global problems. The methods are analogous to those developed by Brown and Higgins for similar theorems...
