INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
It is suggested that in preparing manuscripts, contributors follow the usage concerning
references, table and figure legends, footnotes, abbreviations, etc., outlined in: Pub-
lication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 1957 revision, published
by American Psychological Association, 1333 16th Street N.W., Washington 6, D.C.
Manuscripts should be submitted in duplicate, the author retaining a third copy.
Figures and tables must be submitted in a form and size suitable for direct photo-
graphic reproduction, since the Journal will be printed from photocopy on which the
actual figures submitted by the author will be mounted; the Journal takes responsi-
bility for preparing photocopy of manuscript text. Photocopy (manuscript text and
mounted matter) will be reduced 20% in publication. The maximum size of figures,
tables and illustrations, including legends and titles, as submitted by authors is
6th x lio inches. These dimensions set the limits for any single figure intended to fill
a whole printed page, and may be used as guides in cases where figures are intended
to appear side by side on a single printed page. The responsibility for correct size of
figures is the author's. In general, combining several figures into one large figure is
a more economical procedure than having separate and smaller figures. Figures and
illustrations should be made as small as possible, consistent with their purpose and
importance. When submitted, they should be identified on the reverse side with an
abbreviated title, author's name, and figure number. Halftone illustrations must be
submitted as glossy photographs; line drawings and tables must be drawn to scale,
in black ink, on a smooth surface paper.

scientific and sholarly purposes of any material published in the Journal will be permitted following
receipt of written request. Application for a second-class mailing permit is pending at Boston, Massa-
chusetts, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
