The person's
By ELIZABETH HURIOCK, PH.D.

attit-ude toward what he does is
greatly influenced by the cir
cumstances under which he un
dertakes the work. If he is forced
to do something by someone else,
naturally he will not feel the
same way about it as he would,
had he chosen to do the same
thing himself. Working under
force is always accompanied by
a resistant, rebellious attitude
and this militates against what
the person accomplishes.
Because certain things must
be done, whether in the home or
in the business world or com
munity, it should be obvious that
those gwhose responsibility it is
to do these things should have
favorable attitudes toward them.
Then the work will not only be
done better but the worker will
be happier while on the job than
he would if his attitude were un
favorable. Attitude More Favorable
It is a well-known psycholog
ical fact that people's attitudes
are always more favorable to
ward things they want to do
than toward things they do not
want to do but which they feel,
for one reason or another, they
must do. Therefore, it becomes
a problem of making them think
they want to do these things
which they must do.
. How, you may ask, can this
be done?
The answer is by letting the
person have some say or some
choice in what he must do. This
may mean only that he decides
the sequence in which the differ
ent steps in the work will be car
ried out or that he decides what
method he wants to use in doing
it.
When a person is given some
opportunity to make a choice, he
at once begins to feel that he
was the person who actually
wanted to do the job. He realizes,
of course, that0he is being paid
for It or the woman realizes that
it is a part of the responsibility
she assumed when she decided
to marry. However, the person's
attitude,4oward what he knows
he must do will be greatly im
proved if he can feel that he is
his own master and, as a result,

this' or that. I know she has a
home and family but so do most
of us. Can you explain why some
people are always talking about
how 'busy' they are?" R. T.
(A) A person with a "busy
complex," like your friend, may
be a poor manager and, as a re
sult, never get things done. Most
"busy" people however, are suf
fering from feelings of inade
quacy and inferiority which they
try to compensate for by telling
everyone how "busy" they are.
This, they believe, will create
the impression in the minds of
their hearers that they are im
portant people and, as a result of
their importance, they are kept
busy all the time.
While they are in the process
of frying to convince others of
their importance, they often suc
ceed in convincing themselves
that they are people of great importance.
Forgetting birthdays: "My hus
band is a devoted husband but
he often forgets my birthday or
some anniversary, then he is ter
ribly embarrassed. Should I just
ignore his forgetting? Mrs.
U. T.
(A) I think it would be much
kinder to your husband if you
would tactfully, remind him of
your birthday or some anniver
sary than to ignore his embar
rassment or try to convince him
that his forgetting doesn't bother
you. You could say, "Shall we
invite your parents to celebrate
my birthday with us?" or "Shall
we plan a little party for our
wedding anniversary?"
"Hates" His Home: "My 15
year-old son says he 'hates' his
home and can't wait until he is
old enough to leave. Should we
ignore this?" H. S. T.
(A) When a teenager says he
"hates" his home, it usually
means that there is some friction
with his family. Don't ignore his
"hates" but try to find out what
is back of them and then correct
the causes. This is essential if
the family is to be happy.

Nehru Gets Airliner
After Russian Visit
New Delhi (U.R) Premier

urday as a "reminder of the
historic visit to India" of Com
munist Boss N. S. Khrushchev
and Premier N. A. Bulganin.

plane Meghdhoot (Messenger of
the Clouds).
Nehru said the. plane will be

Ike Campaign Team
Forming For 1956
Washington U.R) The
1952 Eisenhower campaign team
is forming again to line up slates
of pro-Eisenhower National Con
vention delegates for forthcom
ing state primaries, reliable in
formants reported Saturday.
Evidence of the teams work
already has shown up in New
Hampshire and Wisconsin. Min
nesota is reported next on the
list.
One probable result of the
group's work would be to keep
it in the saddle at the 1956 con
vention if President Eisenhower
should decide against seeking a I
second term.
However, members' of the
team were said to be glowing
with extraordinary if still
unexplained confidence that
the President will run again de
spite his heart attack last Sept.
24.
It was learned there have been
at least two meetings in the past
month in New York and
Washington of Eisenhower
backers. They included men who
led the 1952 pre-convention drive
to win the GOP presidential
nomination for Mr. Eisenhower.
Chief objective of this group
is to get pro-Eisenhower dele
gates to the National Convention
elected at party conventions and
particularly in the state primar
ies while Mr. Eisenhower's in
tentions remain undisclosed.
