3118.4 A developmental study of the effect of self-interest on social attitude, Danlei Lu,
Wenzhong Wang, Yuejia Luo, Institute of Psychology, China
Two studies investigated the impact of self-interest on attitudes by experimentally manipulating
vestedness. In study 1, the 13-year-olds did not expect their peers would take stake-congruent
attitudes, but the 16-year-old cohort did; though participants' own attitudes revealed a
nonsignificant impact of vestedness on attitudes. In study 2 where their stakes were deep and
critical, with the age increasing, the children's attitudes became more congruent with self-interest.
The results show that the ability to estimate others' attitudes by self-interest is attained between 13
and 16 years old, and the relationship between self-interest and attitudes of self and others is
changeable.
3118.5 Organizational culture, values and professional mobility. a study within scientific
organizations, Miriam Aparicio, IUPSYS- SIP-ICP, Argentina
Scientific stratification (branches and disciplines) is frequently associated in theory to the
effectiveness of research groups, but it is not to professional mobility or psychosocial factors. This
work analyzes the existing relationships in organizational cultures belonging to different
disciplinary fields (human/social sciences vs. exact/natural sciences) and the homogenization of
psychosocial behavior, considering "mobility" as a variable (Cherkaoui, 1979), or, in other words,
the building of organizational identities within the scientific system.

self-rating dimensions of teachers' attitudes toward pupils.
