title: A collection of surveys on market experiments

authors: Noussair, Charles N.

abstract: This paper highlights the contributions in this special issue to the very large and rapidly growing research on experimental markets. It contains ten surveys of different streams of research in this area including asset markets, contests, environmental policy, frictions, general equilibrium, labor markets, multi-unit auctions, oligopoly markets, and prediction markets.

title: Preference in Asynchronous Presentation of Stimuli

authors: Yuan, Chengan

subjects: Self-Control

abstract: A self-control procedure that involved a later onset of a stimulus signalling a
small reinforcer within the waiting time for a larger reinforcer was investigated to
determine a point of shifting preference and a discounting function as the delay
varied. The results from Experiment 1 to Experiment 3 showed exclusive
impulsive choices regardless of the delay. In order to examine if the results were
due to the procedure and the parameters, or the species used, Experiment 4
attempted to obtain shifts in preference using simultaneous onset of stimuli with
the same species. The results demonstrated no changes in preference but an
increase in proportion of self-control choices was shown. Due to the limited
information from the replicated studies, the accounts for the results could not be
concluded. The explanations derived from choice models seemed most plausible,
but limitations of the choice models were discussed.

title: The adaptation of cognitive behavioural therapy for adult Maori clients with depression: A pilot study

authors: Bennett, Simon T.

subjects: Maori

abstract: A semistructured cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programme for depression was adapted for use with Maori adult clients with depression. Adaptations were developed in consultation with an advisory group consisting of Maori clinical psychologists and kaumatua with experience working in mental health services. The programme was piloted with 2 participants who were clients of a Maori mental health service. The programme builds on a more traditional CBT treatment programme by integrating concepts such as whakatauki, whanaungatanga, whanau involvement, and whakapapa into the therapeutic context. Despite limitations the results demonstrate considerable promise. Depressive symptoms increased substantially in both cases and both clients reflected positively on the adaptations incorporated into therapy.
