"This is the report of a symposium representing the research program of the Physiological Psychology Branch of the Office of Naval Research. Host for the occasion on 10-11 March 1955 was the U.S. Naval School of Aviation Medicine where many ONR contractors in the fields of physiology and aviation psychology have integrated their research with that conducted by the Navy. The physical setting for the symposium provided other ONR contractors with an opportunity to acquaint themselves with research being conducted at Pensacola, while Pensacola personnel enjoyed the stimulating exchange of information and theories which characterized the sessions. The many outstanding scientists attending represented such diverse fields as physiology, psychology, neuroanatomy, psychophysics, psychoacoustics, and biochemistry. This multiplicity of disciplines provided a rich source of stimulation as each specialist became better aware of the techniques, contributions, and problems of the other, and the relationship of his own efforts to the search for a broader knowledge of the human organism."--Foreword

Feelings and Emotions: The Loyola Symposium covers knowledge in the field of emotion. The book discusses the theories of emotions based on biological considerations; the neural and physiological correlates of feeling and emotion; and cognitive theories of feeling and emotion. The text also describes the psychological approaches to the study of emotion; the mood theory and measurement; as well as the developments related to the search for significant relations between private events and both behavioral and physiological events. The role of feelings and emotions in personality is also encompassed. Psychologists, physiologists, anthropologists, sociologists, biochemists, psychiatrists, and students taking psychology courses will find the book useful.

This short volume contains papers presented at a special symposium, "The Physiology of Aggression and Defeat," during the MAS meetings in Dallas, Texas, in December, 1968. At a time when we need to understand the basic mechan isms underlying various forms of aggression, these papers report progress toward this goal. Although the many social, psychologic and economic causal mechanisms contributing to aggression have been reasonably well-understood for a number of years, the correlated physiological, biochemical, endocrinological and neurochemical changes taking place in an organism that is either the aggressor or the recipient of aggression have not been studied extensively, and the limited available data in the past have often been in con siderable conflict. These eight papers demonstrate that complex interac tions take place among the psychological, social, physio logical, biochemical, endocrinological and neurochemical factors involved in aggression and defeat. The general indications are that while the aggressor learns to survive and adapts readily to the fighting process, the vanquished, if he does not die, maintains an existence highlighted by severe and extensive changes in all physiologic and psycho logic systems. We cannot make sweeping generalizations to the human organism from the results of non-human animal experimentation. Nevertheless, it is well-known that in all animals, including the human, similar basic biochemi cal systems are involved.
