✦ Synopsis

This report describes an evolution of research methodology for adducing evidence regarding whether the self functions as a control system. While there has been a great number of studies in the literature on personality and social psychology aimed at demonstrating that behavior of many kinds can be a!ected by focusing attention upon the subject's self-concept, or by challenging or threatening it, little attention has been given to the question of why this would be so. A proposed explanation would be that the self functions as a control system. Testing this hypothesis has entailed development of a methodological approach in which control action occurs predictably rather than having a statistical probability. This has required de"ning a model and testing it by predictions rather than attempting to isolate underlying variables with multivariate techniques.

Sporadic neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) occurs in the absence of a family history of the disease and usually results from a new mutation in the germ cell of one of the parents, most commonly the father. Older paternal age may increase the risk for a new germinal NF1 mutation, but the results of studies t
