Age Differences in Marriage and Female Longevity
Analysis of 1968 mortality data and comparable 1970 census data for women showed that women married to younger men tended to live longer than expected while women married to older men tended to die sooner than expected. Representing fluctuation from the base rate of 100 the summary standard mortality ratio for women with spouses 4 years older to 14 years younger was 84 while the average standard mortality ratio for women with spouses up to 14 yea…

Research on Positive and Negative Social Behavior
“Positive” and “negative” social behavior was defined, and the key words in 3353 studies abstracted in the Psychological Indexes and Abstracts for the decades 1900-1975 were categorized accordingly. Studies were also categorized for their methodological orientation, and whether they used animals, children, or adults as subjects. Results: (a) prior to about 1920, there was little difference between the number of positively and negatively marked st…
Attractiveness and Learning
Pictures of attractive, medium, and unattractive college males and females were paired with nonsense syllables to study the influence of attractiveness on learning and retention. Ss were 12 male and 12 female students. The results were as follows: (a) Nonsense syllables paired with both attractive and unattractive pictures were learned faster than those paired with moderately attractive pictures, and nonsense syllables paired with female pictures…
Demand Characteristics, Moods, and Helping
Procedures used in empathy-helping studies suggest that results may be due to demand characteristics. Two studies were run to investigate especially the mood induction process. The first reproduced the Aderman-Berkowitz (1970) main mood effects. The second showed that after seeing a help-nonhelp incident, mood effects could be demonstrated only when Ss knew the purpose of the research, thus supporting the demand characteristics hypothesis. As pre…

Positive Forms of Social Behavior: An Overview
The possibility exists that during the past decade some important social psychological theory and research and some salient social forces may have interacted to produce a subtle shift in the Zeitgeist from studies concerned with more negative to studies of more prosocial or positive forms of social behavior. The history of the term “prosocial” is first explored. Some different forms of prosocial behavior are indicated, along with the different re…

A Sociometric Analysis of Conflicting Role-Expectancies
The salesmen of a life insurance district completed a seven-item sociometric questionnaire asking them to indicate individuals best fulfilling certain business functions and to judge certain traits in persons. The factor analysis showed a large general and three specific factors; insurance intelligence, sociability-sympathy, aggresive salesmanship. The general factor had highest loadings on "sympathy" and lowest on "aggressiveness." The factors w…
