Ten new insights in climate science 2025
Non-Technical Summary This review highlights 10 recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, spanning diverse topics: (1) the global temperature jump of 2023–2024; (2) sea surface warming and marine heatwaves; (3) land carbon sinks; (4) interactions between climate change and biodiversity loss; (5) accelerated groundwater decline; (6) global dengue incidence; (7) income and labour productivity loss; (8) strategic conside…
Passing the check
Energy and transportation services represent a significant portion of household budgets, particularly for low-income households. Climate policies that increase the cost of energy and transportation services can lead to disparate impacts across income and demographic groups. When multiple overlapping climate policies are in place, they may interact to compound or shift the distribution of costs. This study employs household expenditure microdata f…
Developing a Climate Change Mitigation Policy Inventory for Canada
Across orders of governments, jurisdictions are continually expanding their implementation of policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. In federations such as Canada, the mix of policies used is further complicated by overlapping regulation both within and across federal and provincial or territorial governments. Canada's climate policy landscape is marked by variation in timing, effort, and app…
Adjustment of Adolescents
Adaptation of immigrant and native Australians
Two samples of recent immigrant families (with 364 and 150 responding members) were compared with a single sample of native-born Australian families (210 members) to ascertain similarities and differences in their patterns of subjective and social adaptation. For the most part, they were quite similar: There were positive intercorrelations among 17 measures of satisfaction with various foci (subjective adaptation) and somewhat lower positive inte…
Children's Personality as a Function of Family Relations within and between Cultures
Relations of four family characteristics to four personality characteristics were ascertained from 1,686 high school students, their parents, and teachers in 7 communities (Hong Kong, Taipei, Osaka, Berlin, Winnipeg, Phoenix, and Canberra). Analyses based on the composite sample showed generally positive correlations between (each of) member satisfaction, nurturance, and permissiveness and (each of) self-esteem, emotional well-being, and interper…
Adaptation of Immigrants
This book reports results of a longitudinal study of 307 immigrants to Australia first interviewed in 1979 and re-interviewed in 1982 set in a context of other major studies of immigrants conducted in the UK the US Canada and Australia. It focuses on conclusions that have emerged from 3 decades of research concerning determinants of individual differences in adaptation including demographic characteristics cultural skills personality variables an…
Burnout, job satisfaction, and job performance
Job "burnout" is often used in ways not well distinguished from older concepts, such as job dissatisfaction and poor performance. An attempt was made to distinguish the three notions, both theoretically and operationally, and to investigate their presumably distinctive correlates in two samples of employees 248 nurses (professional sample) and 108 service employees (non-professional). In both samples the three measures were inter-correlated, but …
Some predictors of migrant adaptation available at selection time
Applicants for migration to Australia were interviewed in a study completely separate from the selection process. The 307 members of 96 families who actually immigrated were interviewed again approximately 3 years later. Their satisfactions with many aspects of their lives and their performances in several roles were assessed by a variety of methods. Adaptation was treated as a multi-faceted process, and the immigrants were found to differ in lev…

Ethnicity, interpersonal relations, and adaptation among families of european migrants to australia
A sample of 139 families (457 members) from several European countries were studied by questionnaire at the time they appeared for interview with immigration officers in various Australian consulates. Over half of this pretest sample (78 families, 239 members) replied to a mail questionnaire following their arrival in Australia. Prior to migration, high socioeconomic status was associated with high solidarity, high fragmentation, and low role dif…

Acquaintance ratings as criteria of adjustment
In four different samples of university students from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and The United States (total n = 645), criteria of psychological adjustment based on 2 friends' judgments of 15 specific behaviour tendencies attained levels of interrater agreement (averaging r = .50) at least as high as those previously obtained for criterion ratings on a wide range of attitudes, motives, and behaviour dispositions. Composite criterion ratings …

Empirical Assessment of Values and Ideologies
Procedures have been developed for assessing values and ideologies of social groups by interviews or questionnaires administered to their members. These involve content analysis of responses to standardized questions concerning traits which the subject admires in other people. Although the procedure provides only a crude measure of the presence or absence of individual subjects' values, preliminary evidence on reliability and validity indicates t…
Rationality and non-rationality of international attitudes
Any student of public opinion who has reviewed reactions of the general populace to such complex and remote phenomena as foreign affairs is apt to be left with the-impression that these reactions are, in large part, irrational. By that term he may refer to a variety of apparent departures from logical thought processes on the part of the respondents. Goals of foreign policy may be vaguely or erroneously comprehended by them. The actions advocated…

He helped to found the Dublin Statistical Society in 1847, and from the 1860s began to write papers such as 'Work and the Workman', reflecting his adherence t…

Group meetings, carefully planned and democratically run, can be particularly useful instruments for inducing behavioral changes. In this article, the author draws upon his experience as a civil information officer in occupied Japan to formulate a systematic program of information meetings as an important part of the reorientation of the Japanese people towards democratic values and procedures, Audience centered meetings and the use of behavioral…
Some remarks on the measurement of social mobility—A reply
The choice of an index for the measurement of association depends partly on the standard against which association should be judged. Mr. Billewicz's “equal degree of association” is a standard different from that employed in Social Mobility. Set against its own standard, which takes account of differences in size of categories, the original Index of Association retains its validity and usefulness
