Psychology Traits Explained
The real difference between American and European psychology is the differentiation between continental European psychology and Anglo-American psychology, Prof. Joseph Nuttin, visiting professor of psychology from Belgium, told members of Psi Chi, national honorary psychology fraternity.
The differences between American and European psychology are difficult to describe in detail because of the many differences which exist within each group, Prof. Nuttin said.
Europeans tend to be more open-minded and philosophical in their viewpoints and less interested in rigid experimental design, he said. Americans tend to favor a rigid scientific approach with highly controlled experiments and statistical analysis, he said.
The negative aspects of each approach are that Europeans are often hazy and unclear in their conceptions and Americans tend to squelch creativity and newness, sacrificing new ideas for rigid control, Prof. Nuttin said.
He added that each group can learn from the other in the sense that the European approach leaves more room for creative thinking and the American approach produces identifiable, clear-cut results.

Sachem has been planning to install these plaques for several years and last spring the society and Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy agreed on the four, said Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University. Installation took place April 7.
"From time to time additional plaques will be installed commemorating other individuals and events," Mr. Nichols said.

Students are invited to attend the meeting.
'Anastasia' To Be Given April 23
"Anastasia," the romantic melodrama which was a hit on Broadway and which will play in Hoch Auditorium at 8:20 p.m., Monday, April 23, is an example of the saying that truth is stranger than fiction.
The play, which will star the original Broadway cast including Viveca Lindfors and Eugene Leontovich, is based on the real life story of Anna Anderson, still living in Germany, who claims to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, daughter of Nicholas II last Czar of Russia.
After the murders the bodies were carted to the mouth of an abandoned mine and thrown into it. Here, two members of the guard noticed that the youngest of the daughters, then 17 years old, was still alive.
As the story goes, the guards carried her on back roads to Bucharest. Rumania, using the jewels and clothes to support them on the way.
On the night of July 17, 1918, the Czar, his wife, four daughters and son were shot in the cellar of a house in a Siberian mountain town.
Anastasia went to Berlin, attempted to commit suicide immediately after her arrival in February
Since 1946 she has been producing and directing plays in her own theater on the West Coast.
Miss Lindfords was born in Upsala, Sweden. Her first ambition was to be a dramatic dancer, but she abandoned the idea when a prominent Swedish actor complimented her performance in a school play.
She refused to identify herself, but eventually confided in a nurse. The latter sought out Russians who had known the Imperial family, and brought them to see the patient.
She entered the annual competition for admission to the Royal Dramatic Academy, and was selected from 150 applicants. She ultimately played leads in a number of modern and classical plays at the Royal Dramatic Theater.
Warner Brothers brought her to America in 1946, and she made a series of films including "Moonfleet" with Stewart Granger and "Run For Cover" with James Cagney.
1920, and was committed to an asylum.
Anastasia's further history is a seesaw of recognition and rejection, and the question still remains—is she a princess or an imposter?
Tickets for the performance may be purchased in the Fine Arts office, 128 Strong; in the Student Union, and at Bell's Music Store.
The drama department will be hosts to the cast and crew of "Anastasia" at a tea at 4 p.m. Monday, April 23, in the Sunflower Room of the Student Union. Speech and drama students are invited to attend.
Adapted by Guy Bolton from the French version by Marcelie Maurette, "Anastasia" was first presented by Sir Laurence Olivier at the St. James Theater in London.
Play Cast Tea Scheduled
Both Broadway stars have long theatrical careers. Eugene Leontovich, the daughter of a Russian colonel, decided on a stage career early in life and studied at the Moscow Imperial Dramatic School.
She flied Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and was brought to America by J. J. Schubert in a musical "Revue Russe." She soon mastered the English language, and toured the country in productions including "Grand Hotel" and "Twentieth Century."
In London she played opposite Sir Cedric Hardwicke in "Tovarich" for two years.

Professor Has Work Published
"New Ways In Old Places," an article by Charles K. Warriner, assistant professor of sociology, has been published in the April issue of the Adult Leadership magazine.
The article is a study of leadership in a small Kansas town. It is an attempt to show that changes were not the results of a change in the character of the persons, but part of the total process of social change that the community was caught up in.
History Club To Hear Talk
Joseph Rubenstein, bibliographer of the department of special collections, will speak to the History Club at 7 p.m. today in Room 305 of the Student Union. His subject will be "The Historian and Banned Books."
