Social Support Protects against the Negative Effects of Partner Violence on Mental Health
OBJECTIVES: Social support for abused women may reduce the impact of abuse on mental health, yet few studies have addressed this issue. We wish to determine associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) and mental health outcomes and to assess the protective role of abuse disclosure and support on mental health among abused women. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted of 1152 women, ages 18-65, recruited from family practice clin…

Attachment, partner choice, and perception of romantic partners
We propose that the primary attachment process that influences partner choice is a normative one, the desire to form a secure attachment bond, and that a potential partner's attractiveness is, in part, a function of the degree to which the partner can offer the opportunity to form a secure attachment bond. An experimental test of the attachment‐security hypothesis was conducted with male and female ( N = 282) heterosexual college students in the …
Attachment formation and transfer in young adults’close friendships and romantic relationships
Two hundred thirty‐seven young adults from an American university completed a questionnaire designed to test several normative implications of attachment theory. As predicted, the majority of participants (60%) used their parents as primary attachment figures but were in the process of transferring attachment‐related functions from parents to peers (best friends and romantic partners). The transfer of these functions the parents to peers was foun…
Attachment Theory and Partner Choice
This work uses samples of 285 college students and their mothers to offer validity to a fourth attachment style and to test a new hypothesis: that partners would be preferred as a function of their potential for providing a secure attachment bond. Profiles exemplifying four attachment styles of potential partners were rated by the participants for degree of preference and degree of similarity to current partners. Consistent with the attachment-se…
Attachment style, gender, and relationship stability
Adult attachment styles in 354 heterosexual couples in serious dating relationships were examined. Principal findings included the following: (a) male and female attachment styles were nonrandomly paired, for example, no anxious-anxious or avoidant-avoidant pairs were found; (b) male and female styles related to concurrent relationship ratings of both partners in different but theoretically meaningful ways; (c) male and female styles contributed …

Lovestyles and Attachment Styles Compared
Two studies were conducted to investigate the relative ability of Hendrick & Hendrick's (1986) measure of Lee's (1973) lovestyles and the Hazan & Shaver (1987) measure of attachment styles to predict concurrent relationship characteristics among unmarried dating couples. Relationship characteristics were assessed by the Davis & Todd (1985) Relationship Rating Form (RRF). Sternberg's (1987) Triangular Love Scale (STLS), and an adaptation of Rahim'…
Love Styles and Relationship Quality
Using a sample of seventy heterosexual undergraduate couples, we examined the usefulness of the new measures developed by Hendrick & Hendrick (1986) of six of Lee's (1973) basic love styles to predict individual and couple relationship qualities. The six love styles (Eros, Storge, Pragma, Ludus, Agape and Mania) were related to six aspects of relationship quality (Viability, Intimacy, Care, Passion, Satisfaction and Conflict/Ambivalence) derived …
The Social Construction of the Person
Sexual Choices
Sexual Bargaining
Is the institution of marriage in America breaking down? Is marriage as we have known it largely irrelevant? Are the forms of marriage changing? Are the changes in women's roles in society related to the breakdown, irrelevance, and formal alteration of marriage? In this updated edition of his fundamental study of modern marriage, John Scanzoni challenges the widespread assumption that marriage is a dying institution. By analyzing the reward seeki…
Exposure to Pornography, Character, and Sexual Deviance
Data from 365 subjects from seven types of social groups (jail inmates, college students of three ethnic backgrounds, members of Catholic and Protestant religious organizations) were examined. While amount of exposure was negatively related to the overall index of character, the relationship held primarily for those subjects first exposed after age 17. Amount of exposure to pornography was positively related to self‐acknowledged sexual “deviance”…
Parental interference and romantic love
Living Together
The major focus of this paper was on the implications of recent changes in social-sexual practices on marriage rates. Questionnaire data on interpersonal feelings and social background variables were obtained from 31 going-together couples and 18 living-together couples, all of whom were, of course, unmarried. It was found that the going-together couples held traditional orientations toward each other with commitment to marriage forming a strong …
Who Volunteers for Research on Marital Counseling
The present study is an attempt to determine whether or not volunteers for marital research differ from nonvolunteers, and, if so, to profile the characteristics of each. A random sample was drawn from the community of Boulder, Colorado, and respondents were interviewed in their homes. At the time of the initial interview, details of the study of marital counseling were described to the respondents, and they were asked to volunteer for the study.…

Effects of volunteer biases in studies of sexual behavior and attitudes∗
One of the major problems facing researchers in the area of sexual behavior and attitudes is the extent to which the individuals who volunteer for such studies or complete all items on the questionnaires are representative of the populations from which they were drawn. This problem becomes particularly acute when one tries to assess the extent to which sexual attitudes and behaviors have changed over the past years or when one wishes to compare o…
Sexual restraints
In this study we examined and compared both personal reasons for not engaging in sexual intercourse, and students' conceptions of which reasons were most important for other men and women. We have both practical and theoretical reasons for studying students' sex role conceptions in this area. To the extent that there are significant errors in perception, it is possible that the data may help to identify problems in communication and understanding…

Value Consensus and Need Complementarity in Mate Selection
For college couples who were seriously considering marriage, measures of need complementarity (Schutz's FIRO scales) and value consensus (Farber's index of consensus) were compared with progress toward permanence over a seven month period. Consensus was found to be significantly related to progress for only the short-term couples, and complementarity was significant for only the long-term couples. These findings are interpreted as indicating that…
Role playing variations and their informational value for person perception
Changes in interpersonal perception as a means of reducing cognitive dissonance
one of two (low choice). Festinger and Carlsmith (1959) found that the greater the monetary incentive for 5s to argue the merits of a series of boring tasks, the less were the 5s own attitudes toward the tasks likely to become more favorable. The greater apparent choice in the low incentive condition seemed to produce greater dissonance regarding the persuasion attempt, and this dissonance was reduced when the 5s rated the tasks as more enjoyable…

The Dynamics of Sexual Behavior of College Students
A study of 155 males and 222 females all sophomores and juniors at the University of Colorado revealed a premarital coital rate for women of 41% and a 60% coital rate for men. These figures were replicated in an independent follow-up study. Despite the convergence of sexual experience among college men and women considerable evidence was found that a strong double standard still exists. This was particularly true of males when the woman involved …

Some Personal and Situational Factors Relevant to the Consistency and Prediction of Conforming Behavior
The consistency of individual conformity to group pressure was investigated in three quite different situations - a perceptual judgment task, self reported acceptance of peer group norms, and self-reported acceptance of authoritative con formity pressures. There was a small but consis tent trend for persons who conformed in one sit uation to conform in the other two. Elaine G. Sofer's scale of Inner vs. Other-directedness was highly related to co…
