Treat Ment

This commentary focuses exclusively on problems of dis crimination as a major obstruction in managing diversity and incorporates an experiential training exercise for con fronting discrimination to better understand the difficulties in "going beyond equality" in managing diversity. The exer cise communicates the needed capacity for empathy or ability to cope with the emotional reactions of unequal treat ment that inevitably occur when socially or ethnically dif ferent people work together in organizations. The exercise and results of a recent field study reported herein focus on traditional forms of black and white discrimination. How ever, the procedure and instrument are general and may be modified to fit unique situations.

This research tested the hypothesis that anomalous images on film can be attributed to the specific recording medium. Using five different film media, a total of 96 photogtaphs and 8 min. of 8-mm motion picture film were obtained during a field study of a reported haunting. Multiple covariates were also recorded including electromagnetic field fluctuations, time of day, and geographic position. No anomalous images were obtained, although approximately half of the frames on both the infrared and black and white films were unexposed. The results are discussed in terms of ambiguous events being interpreted as meaningful due to paranormal contexts.
