Designating Longevity Hotspots
Estimates of per capita centenarians in a Utah population varied between one per 12,864 and one per 4,675, depending on the data that were used, the population assumptions that were made, and the boundary limits that were employed. In general, caution is warranted in claims about the existence of longevity hotspots
Individual, Demographic, and Family Correlates of Romantic Attachments in a Group of American Young Adults
Individual, Demographic, and Family Correlates of Romantic Attachments in a Group of American Young Adults
Relationship avoidance and anxiety scores were obtained for 590 American young adults (M age = 23.1 yr.). Canonical correlation yielded two orthogonal patterns between the avoidance and anxiety scores with individual, demographic, and family variables. Relationship avoidance was most parsimoniously related to unresolved issues with one's family of origin, having been sexually abused, and being male (canonical correlation = .33). Relationship anxi…
Adult Attachment and Declining Birthrates
Attachment scores for 658 young adults living in the U.S.A. were obtained using the Experiences in Close Relationships scale. The participants came from a subsample of the RELATE data set, who had also filled out the adult attachment measure. Those young adults living in Utah County, Utah, an area of the country with a higher than normal birthrate (88% members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), also had higher than average adult…
Locating the Big Five Personality Factors in the Relate Relationship Evaluation Measures
Locating the Big Five Personality Factors in the Relate Relationship Evaluation Measures
Factor analyses of data from 400 students who completed the adjective section of the Relate relationship evaluation and similar descriptors from the measure of the "big five" factors of personality by Digman and Inouye indicated that all of the "big five" measures, surgency, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness, can be assessed as part of the Relate assessment
Personality Structure in Chinese School Children
To test the claimed universal model of Five-Factor Personality structure, we used teacher ratings of 493 10- to 12-year-old Chinese school children on an adjective rating scale developed by Digman and Inouye (1986). Factor analysis of the teacher ratings strongly replicated four of the "big five" personality factors that have been observed in a variety of other cultures. The fifth factor, emotional stability, was also evident, as was a sixth fact…

Negative Evaluations of Men's Nurturant Touching of Young Children
82 female and 65 male, mostly unmarried undergraduate students read one of 16 versions of a brief scenario depicting a man or woman either engaging or not engaging in nurturant touching of young children. Subjects then rated story characters on masculinity and goodness scales and on scales measuring likelihood of social acceptance and future instrumental achievement. Men and women who engaged in nurturant touching were rated low on masculinity an…
Canine Analogs of Human Personality Factors
Analysis of the behavioral traits of 56 breeds of dog produced three factors with some similarities to the popular five-factor model of human personality: (a) reactivity--surgency, (b) aggression--disagreeableness, and (c) trainability--openness. Canine and human personality similarities are argued to have their origin in biogenetic factors stemming from common evolutionary sources and from canine breeding for human compatibility and assistance w…

Men's Perceptions of Nurturing Behavior in other Men
87 young adult male students were randomly divided into two groups. One group read an account of a young man interacting with preschool-age children in a nurturing manner. The other group read a nonnurturing account of the same interaction. The subjects rated the nurturing male as higher in goodness and obedience and lower in masculinity, potency, activity, and instrumental achievement potential than the nonnurturing male. From this it was conclu…
Praise, Reproof and Persistence in Preadolescent Girls
Sixty ten and eleven year-old girls worked on a two-choice discrimination task under one of five conditions: no feedback; positive feedback following successes; positive feedback following failures; negative feedback following successes; and negative feedback following failures. The girls persisted longest on the task when they received positive feedback following failures. The argument is made that preadolescent girls attend most readily to the …
Maternal Acceptance and Mastery Motivation in Older Children
On the Relationship between Welfare and Marital Stability
The author comments on an article by Stephen J. Bahr concerning the relationship between welfare and marital stability in the United States. In that article Bahr found it likely that public assistance contributed to marital dissolution. In the present article five waves of data from the National Longitudinal Surveys consisting of a sample of 3690 females age 30 through 44 were analyzed using a cross-lagged panel correlation. In many cases the res…
