...with scores of clients and students in his lab to develop the therapy. The lab did studies showing how humans narrow the range of their behaviors based on rules they hear, even in situations where rules hurt them. For instance, Hayes conducted experiments showing that subjects who could have earned more money for doing simple tasks (like moving a light around a small maze) didn't earn as much because they were trying to follow given rules. Those studies helped lead to an account of language called Relational Frame Theory, which suggests that when we try to solve problems verbally...
...after becoming a U.S. citizen last year. "When I was trying to decide if I was going to go for it, that was the biggest worry," she says.

...Harvard students have few limitations to the opportunities they can pursue over the summer or the people they can impress by sharing them.Most, but not all. Harvard’s financial aid policy currently requires all students receiving support from the College to contribute $2,000 from their summer earnings to the cost of their next year of schooling. This policy, while not entirely unreasonable, places an undue burden on students receiving financial aid, and encourages them to forgo nonpaying positions in favor of salaried summer jobs.Director of Financial Aid Sally C.
