28th International Congress of Psychology August 8 ... - U-netSURF

Interpersonal relationship between child labourers and their employers is very important from
psychological viewpoints. The researchers studied 334 full-time formal child labourers and their
employers in north-western part of Bangladesh. The children were asked 10 questions to assess
their attitude towards their employers. Ego-State Inventory was administered on the employers.
Work environment was also studied. Employer-employee relationship was found congenial. Most
of the employers scored high on Adult and Nurturing Parent Ego-State. Elimination of child labour
seems impossible until the government provides social welfare benefits. The researchers strongly
recommends introduction of more special schools for the working children countrywide.

3118.1 Wundt and stumpf collections in Japan, Miki Takasuna, Tokyo International University,
Japan
In 1922, Tanenari Chiba (1884-1974), a psychologist at Tohoku University, represented his
university in purchasing Wilhelm Wundt's personal collection of books, journals, and reprints for
the university library. Around 1923, Kanae Sakuma (1888-1970), a psychologist at Kyushu
University, likewise purchased Carl Stumpf's privately owned collection for his university's main
library. Why these Japanese psychologists took extraordinary measures to obtain these collections
is the subject of this article and is discussed first in terms of Japan's burgeoning field of
psychology in the 1920s and each university's subsequent desire to distinguish themselves from
less progressive academic institutions.
3118.2 Need satisfaction and resulting affect for Chinese and US traditional-age university
students, Constance Schick 1 Weidong Zhang 2 , 1 Bloomsburg University of PA, USA; 2 East China
Normal University, Shanghai, China
Recalling the most satisfying event of the last month, Chinese and US students rated self-esteem
and autonomy as best satisfied of 10 needs. Chinese students rated pleasure-stimulation equivalent
to these two. US women placed relatedness in the top three; US men included competence.
Money-luxury need was least satisfied for all groups. Data partially support self-determination
theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) but differ somewhat from findings for South Korean and US students
(Sheldon, Kasser, Elliot, & Kim, 2001). Satisfaction of self-esteem and pleasure needs suggest
growth of individualism among Chinese students. PANAS ratings will be presented.
3118.3 Comparision of the attitudes of nurses, Faroukh Abazari, Abas Abaszadeh, Kerman
Univercity, Iran
Methods: Through convence sampling, all employed nurses in critical care units of Kerman
university hospitals and 41 relatives of admitted patients in these wards were selected to answer a
questionnaire consisting of 25 questions. Re-test and spearman regression. Findings: There was a
significant difference considering the mean scores of nurses (2.93) and patients' relatives (3.23), in
which patient's relatives gave more important to these needs in comparision to the nurses (p
