Death anxiety and its relationship with sensory processing sensitivity
Personality factors have been shown to be associated with death anxiety, but sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), has yet to be examined in this context. Given the ubiquity of death-related media, it is proposed that SPS predisposes individuals to death anxiety in response to daily, death-related stimuli. As death and dying are ranked as prevalent stressors for caregivers, this study compared caregivers and non-caregivers in examining whether SP…

Caregivers of individuals with borderline personality disorder
Burden and psychological distress are higher in informal caregivers (ICs) of people with severe emotional and behavior dysregulation who have been given a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared with non‐caregivers. The current cross‐sectional study examines the difference in outcomes of ICs of people with BPD who have received the intervention Family Connections (FC) and who also led interventions for other caregivers (caregi…
Enhancing agency and empowerment in agricultural development projects
Development interventions increasingly include women's empowerment and gender equality among their objectives, but evaluating their impact has been stymied by the lack of measures that are comparable across interventions. This paper synthesizes the findings of 11 mixed-methods impact evaluations of agricultural development projects from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that were part of the Gender, Agriculture, and Assets Project, Phase 2 (GAAP2…
Asexual identity development and internalisation
Individuals who do not experience sexual attraction and adopt an asexual identity are the focus of increasing amounts of psychological and sociological research. A scoping review was conducted to identify current knowledge of asexuality and components of asexual identity development and internalisation that emerge within literature. Findings from 29 articles were analysed and formed into themes that best describe the key events and sense-making p…

Anxiety, resilience and local conditions
The spread of Covid‐19 is a worldwide phenomenon, unprecedented in modern times. Differences among countries in such matters are of interest as they provide a unique window to understand human behaviour and culture. The aim of this study is to examine cross‐cultural differences in state anxiety, and any moderating role of resilience and social contact. Participants from three countries were recruited: Ireland ( n = 449), Italy ( n = 324) and Spai…
Experiences of Psychologists in Applying Mandatory Reporting in Ireland (Children First)
To address child protection concerns countries often implement mandatory reporting (MR) laws. This ensures that relevant professionals alert child protection services of children who are at risk of or are currently experiencing abuse. However, these well-intended mandatory requirements can sometimes have unintended negative consequences that affect all those who are involved in the process. The current research investigated the experiences of Iri…
Personality and Attitudes Confronting Death Awareness During the Covid-19 Outbreak in Italy and Spain
Italy and Spain are two representative examples on strict lockdown last March 2020, also suffering a high rate of mortality in Europe. The aim of this study is to examine their attitudes confronting death awareness during the Covid-19 outbreak. Moreover, Personality was also considered. Different sociodemographic, in situ questions related to attitudes and the brief Big Five of Personality were employed in a cross-sectional design. The main resul…
Migration, labor and women’s empowerment
As a substantial portion of the rural labor force migrates to urban areas, it is commonly assumed that women could take over traditionally male tasks in agricultural production, with potentially empowering outcomes for women. We study how changes in the supply of labor may influence female labor participation and empowerment outcomes. Using a detailed panel dataset on jute producers in the delta region of Bangladesh, we test whether out-migration…

Living arrangements of older persons in 1987–2035 in Finland
Changes in household structure may have a major impact on the future wellbeing of older people. We evaluate changes in living arrangements of 65+ Finnish men and women from 1987 to 2011 and project living arrangements to 2035 by education level. We use an 11 per cent longitudinal sample of Finns drawn from the population registration data. We estimate proportions in various living arrangements and multi-state life table estimates of years lived i…
Just Google It
Word frequency is one of the most robust factors in the literature on word processing, based on the lexical corpus of a language. However, different sources might be used in order to determine the actual frequency of each word. Recent research has determined frequencies based on movie subtitles, Twitter, blog posts, or newspapers. In this paper, we examine a determination of these frequencies based on the World Wide Web. For this purpose, a Pytho…
The responsibilisation of teachers
This paper critically examines competing demands placed on teachers, with reference to recent inclusion policy in England and Australia. The authors draw on Michael Foucault’s analysis of power, neoliberalism(s) and biopolitics to explore the ways in which teachers are ‘responsibilised’ into negotiating and fulfilling demands related to both state-imposed accountability practices and social justice agendas. The economic context and associated ‘po…
Towards a Deleuzo-feminist ethics of empowerment and freedom from logics of judgement
This paper brings together themes from the varied texts of Gilles Deleuze in outlining a Deleuzo-feminist ethics that speaks to contemporary debates in education. Drawing on Deleuze's (1988) engagement with Spinozan ethics, Foucault's (1987) ‘practice of freedom’, the Nietzschean ‘doctrine of judgment’ and ‘system of cruelty’ (Deleuze 2001), and Bergsonian ‘fabulatory processes’ (Deleuze 1995), we explore the poststructuralist distinction between…

Mandatory accreditation for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators
Recent changes to policy directives now require newly appointed Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) in UK mainstream schools to be qualified teachers. Training and accreditation through a nationally approved postgraduate award is now mandatory. Concepts drawn from poststructuralist biopolitics and critiques of neoliberal educational managerialism are mobilized in an analysis of recent inclusion policy and award requirements. Resistanc…
Post-Identitarian Postgraduate Pedagogy
’Measuring up’ in postgraduate education implies correctness, correspondence and conformity to institutional and governmental imperatives. Following Deleuze, such imperatives are conceptualised in this article as neoliberal striation of educational space. Two corollaries of the marketisation of higher education and neoliberal instrumentalism are fearful compliance and a lexicon in which truth or freedom has no place. The authors explore the affec…
In search of inclusive non-dualistic pedagogies through collaborative and affective learning events
Despite growing consensus that dualistic thinking and hierarchically organised binary categorisations must be challenged if inclusion is to be achieved, advice on the design and implementation of non-dualistic pedagogies is less readily available. The role of teacher educators should therefore include: the modelling of possible actions that provoke thought, support for experimental learning events, and the fostering of vocabularies that defy sanc…
OP46 The Association Between Private Patient Status and Caesarean Delivery
Background The increase in Caesarean delivery rates over the past decades has resulted in it becoming one of the most commonly performed in-hospital surgical procedures. While many Caesarean deliveries are clinically indicated, other factors, such as medico-legal fears and maternal and health professional preferences, contribute to the decision-making process. To explore non-clinical factors, we investigated differences in Caesarean delivery rate…
Variations in Kinship Networks Across Geographic and Social Space
This article analyzes variations in interaction with non‐coresident adult kin based on comparable cross‐national surveys conducted in 2001 in 27 countries. The two main dimensions of kin contact are considered: (1) overall levels and (2) the relative emphasis given to contacts with primary kin (parents, adult children, siblings) and secondary kin (aunts, cousins, in‐laws). Age‐adjusted variations in kin contact between countries are much greater …
Societal characteristics and health in the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union
OBJECTIVES: To examine whether, in former communist countries that have undergone profound social and economic transformation, health status is associated with income inequality and other societal characteristics, and whether this represents something more than the association of health status with individual socioeconomic circumstances. DESIGN: Multilevel analysis of cross-sectional data. SETTING: 13 Countries from Central and Eastern Europe and…
The Onset of Fertility Transition
For many years it has been known that in virtually no human population has the level of fertility ever approached the potential biological maximum. Scholars have long been aware that such factors as constraints on marriage, prolonged breastfeeding, periods of separation or abstinence, abortion, and disease have exerted a restraining influence on fertility. Thus while systematic investigation of the relationships determining fertility levels had t…

Marital Status and Long-Term Illness in Great Britain
This study investigates the relationship between health and marital status, focusing particularly on older persons, using data on reported long-term illness rates from the Samples of Anonymised Records (SARs) drawn from the British Census. Until about age 70, long-term illness rates are generally lowest for those in first marriage, followed by the remarried, with intermediate values for the widowed and divorced, and highest for the single. Beyond…

Family and sociodemographic influences on patterns of leaving home in Postwar Britain
We identify child-level and parent-level characteristics associated with children’s patterns of leaving home. We use a multilevel discrete-time hazards model to examine the impact of family and demographic factors at both levels, and utilize the Alternating Conditional Expectation algorithm optimally to transform the dependent and independent variables. We find that measured variables at both the child and the parent level have important influenc…
Is the relationship between fertility of parents and children really weak
The relationship between fertility of parents and children has been designated as "weak" by most investigators. This paper reviews the evidence over the past century and argues that, even allowing for problems with available data sources, the relationship was probably close to zero for pre-transitional populations. However, over time, the relationship has tended to become more substantial and is now of a similar order of magnitude in developed co…
Limiting Long-Term Illness and Household Structure among People Aged 45 and over, Great Britain 1991
The aim of the study reported here was to investigate the relationship between health and household composition among older people. The 1 per cent and 2 per cent SARs (Samples of Anonymised Records) drawn from 1991 British Census data were used to examine the frequency of a limiting long-term illness among older people according to different types of living arrangements. These data include the population in institutions and our results show that …

Changes in the Living Arrangements of Young Adults in Britain During the 1980s
Factors affecting the living arrangements of young adults are reviewed. Changes in the proportions of young adults living outside the parental home during the 1980s in Britain are analysed using data from the Labour Force Survey (16–29-year-olds: 1981, N = 45,253; 1989, N = 31,322). Teenagers have shown an increased tendency to live away from their parents, whereas the position was reversed for those in their mid- to late 20s. Whilst socio-econom…

Unemployment, Housing and Household Structure Among Young Adults
Differentials in unemployment among young adult males are shown to be particularly associated with two factors: housing tenure and early childbearing. Even after controlling for factors such as social class and area of residence, local authority tenants have unemployment rates two or three times as high as owner-occupiers of a similar age. For movers between tenures these differentials are even greater; movers from owner-occupation to local autho…

Housing Pathways and Stratification
Five principles determining movement in the housing market relating to tenure, social class and fertility status were suggested by Payne and Payne (1977) on the basis of a small-scale study in Aberdeen. Analysis of a large-scale nationally-representative survey containing full housing and maternity histories suggests that some of these principles require modification at the national level. For example, movement into and between tenures, although …

Covariates of infant mortality in China
To elucidate the nature of the relationship between infant mortality in China and a variety of covariates using data from the 2/1000 Chinese Fertility Survey, we use a logistic regression model where the covariates are transformed with the help of Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE) algorithm. This approach is used to overcome the general problem in multivariate regression analysis of coding the independent variables so that relationship be…

Twenty years' screening for cancer of the uterine cervix in Great Britain, 1964-84
The effects of the screening programme for cancer of the uterine cervix in Great Britain are disputed, and the subject has been underexplored. Accordingly, we have related routinely available data on screening effort in Scotland, Wales, and the 14 English Health Regions to various incidence and mortality outcome measures, from 1967 to the present day. Although such an approach is imperfect, the results support the belief that the screening progra…

Predicting mortality from cancer of the uterine cervix from 1991-2001
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to provide benchmarks by which to judge the success of behaviour change and the cervical cancer screening programme in England and Wales in reducing mortality from this disease over the next decade. DESIGN--Log-linear models and cervical cancer mortality data by age and marital status from 1959-88 were used to predict future mortality in England and Wales. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--Recombining "predicted" deaths …
Young outright owner occupiers in Britain
The socio‐economic geographic demographic and characteristics of young outright owner occupiers in Britain are examined, using data from the 1981 Labour Force Survey. They are shown to be a heterogeneous group, including wealthy professionals, fanners and high proportions of the manual social classes. Omitting the specialised sub‐populations of professionals and farmers, it was found that young outright owners are more likely to be self‐employed …
Household Modelling and Forecasting-Dynamic Approaches with Use of Linked Census Data
Household projections produced by official agencies usually use the headship rate method, based on the proportion of people designated as 'head of household' (or 'reference person') in various sex, age, and family categories. Reasons are discussed why this method has been criticised in recent years: the headship method does not incorporate any behavioural assumptions or dynamic aspects; only the characteristics of the head are included explicitly…

Differential family formation in Great Britain
Differentials in variables concerned with the timing, number, and distribution of fertility by a wide range of socioeconomic, attitudinal, inherited and housing characteristics from the British Family Formation Survey are reported.

Is there an increased risk of twinning after discontinuation of the oral contraceptive pill
We investigated whether conception soon after cessation of use of oral contraceptives affects the chance of bearing twins. Unpublished data from a large sample survey of contraceptive practice in Scotland were used to derive oral contraceptive discontinuation rates by month over the decade 1972-82 and these were related to estimated monozygotic and dizygotic twin birth rates and proportions by month in Scotland from 1974-82, using regression tech…

Sterilisation as a Method of Contraception
Data on patterns and trends in sterilisation in Britain among women, men and couples are presented using life table approaches with data from a national survey, the General Household Survey. Among couples under age 50, sterilisation is the main method of contraception used, with slightly more women than men being sterilised, although this is reversed if only contraceptive sterilisation is considered. Trends in contraception have remained relative…

A Reply
James questions the validity of the very tentative statement made in the final sentence of our paper. Our claim concerned the proportion of twins in Britain in the 1990s that might have arisen through subfertility treatment and was linked to the s uggestion that the natural twinning rate might still be in decline. If this were true, we, like James, would regard that prospect with concern.
