Perceptions of condom use among African American men who have sex with men
The objectives of this study were to describe what African American men perceive as the risks of different sexual acts when not using condoms, the social and situational barriers to using condoms, the attitudes towards condom use of other men they know, and the strategies needed to promote condom use. In semi‐structured interviews, participants were asked questions regarding their perceptions of the risks of HIV infection from various sexual acti…

Predictors of movement toward homosexuality: A longitudinal study of bisexual men
We examined predictors of movement toward more homosexual sexual feelings among behaviorally bisexual men. Two hundred sixteen behaviorally bisexual men, recruited from diverse sources, were interviewed twice, with about one year between interviews. Predictor variables from domains of mental health, sexual behavior, demographics, and substance use were hypothesized to predict movement toward more homosexual sexual feelings. The sample as a whole …
Comparing Gay and Bisexual Men on Sexual Behavior, Condom Use, and Psychosocial Variables Related to HIV/Aids
Female Partners of Bisexual Men: What They Don't Know Might Hurt Them
Individual interviews with 350 behaviorally bisexual men aged 18-30 revealed that 71% of their female sexual partners and 59% of their steady female sexual partners in the past 6 months had not been aware of their homosexual activity. Rates of nondisclosure were higher for African-American than White men. Compared to nondisclosers, men who disclosed to all their female partners were less self-homophobic and perceived their friends, families, and …
Ethnic differences in sexual behavior, condom use, and psychosocial variables among black and white men who have sex with men
We examined ethnic differences in psychosocial variables and sexual behavior with male partners for a sample of Black and White men who have sex with men (N = 515). Within the samples we defined bisexual and gay men according to behavioral criteria. After controlling statistically for differences in demographic variables, we found that Black men, compared to White men, reported fewer male sexual partners, both for their lifetime and the past six …
Measuring Perceptions Of The Working Environment For Women In Corporate Settings
This study developed a scale to measure individual perceptions of dimensions of the work organization that contribute to a supportive or hostile environment for women. Based on analysis of survey data from 398 respondents working in corporate settings, a scale was developed to measure five dimensions: Dual Standards &Opportunities; Sexist Attitudes &Comments; Informal Socializing; Balancing Work &Personal Obligations; and Remediation Policies &Pr…
Bisexually active men: Social characteristics and sexual behavior
We describe social characteristics and sexual behavior of young, Black or White bisexually active men (N = 536, 52% Black, M age = 25). Bisexual activity appeared to be relatively stable over time: the recruitment criterion was any sex with a man and a woman in the previous three years, yet 60% were bisexually active during the past six months, and 56% began their bisexual activity at least five years prior to the study. Compared to Whites, Black…
Sexual behavior, condom use, disclosure of sexuality, and stability of sexual orientation in bisexual men
Little is known regarding the social and sexual behavior of bisexual men, a population of increasing importance given their risk for HIV transmission. In this exploratory study, we described a sample of 105 self‐identified bisexual men recruited through a newspaper ad and interviewed in person. Our objectives were to (a) describe their social characteristics and reported sexual behavior with males and females; (b) assess rates of disclosure of se…
An examination of the relation of individual difference variables to loneliness
This study investigated the relation of five individual difference variables (extroversion, depression, self‐esteem, neuroticism, and attitude toward others) to loneliness The relative contributions of two different models that might explain these relations were examined One model suggests that individual difference variables are related to loneliness through the mediation of social network variables, that IS, individual difference variables may …
Attitudinal differences between full-time homemakers and women who work outside the home
Gender differences in predicting loneliness from social network characteristics
In two studies we examined gender differences in predicting loneliness from measures of social network structure and a measure of perceived social support. The results showed that social network characteristics, especially density, were consistently better predictors of perceived loneliness for men than for women. Study 1 used the traditional measure of network density in which the number of relationships among network members was determined. Stu…
The relation of social network and individual difference variables to loneliness
Both social network variables and individual differences measures (extraversion, neuroticism, and self-disclosure) were predictive of self-reported loneliness in a college student sample. Of the social network variables, the density of the network showed the strongest and most consistent relation to
The inventory of socially supportive behaviors: Dimensionality, prediction, and gender differences
The nature of social support as measured by the Inventory of Socially Supportive Behaviors (ISSB) was explored in the study. The results of a principal components analysis suggest that it is appropriate to use the ISSB as a global measure of a unidimensional construct. The components that emerged were interpretable, however, and are consistent with the types of social support that have been cited in the literature. Males and females do not differ…

Comparability of Written and Oral Measures in Evaluating Counselor Training
The comparability of written and oral measures in evaluating counselor effectiveness was examined for trained and untrained participants. The responses were rated on use of reflective skills, verbal following, and general quality. A multivariate analysis of variance indicated that written responses were significantly higher on verbal following and general quality. Correlations among the written and oral measures were high and positive, especially…
