Pre-Clerkship Medical Students’ Experiences and Perspectives of System 1 and System 2 Thinking: A Qualitative Study
Dual-process theories may be invoked to explain how physicians interact with, interpret, and draw inferences from clinical information. Stanovich and West’s model articulates two kinds of thinking—intuitive-based System 1 and analytical-based System 2—which have been under-investigated with physicians in training. This qualitative study explored pre-clerkship medical students’ retrospective perspectives and experiences of System 1 and System 2 th…
Religion, Religiosity, and Happiness
The effect of religion on happiness in the United States is examined. Particular attention is given to the direct effect of religion on attending religious services and the indirect effect on happiness. The key results include Catholic, Jewish, and no religion having negative effects on happiness relative to Protestants. Data from the National Opinion Research Center's "General Social Survey" are used
Alice's Unrepresentative Council: Cause for Intervention
The troubles of Alice Springs have been widely discussed in the Australian media since The Weekend Australian published Nicolas Rothwell's (2011) feature article 'Destroyed in Alice' in February. Discussion has covered many things: violence, drugs, alcohol, sex, town camps, property crime, Aboriginal people coming in from outlying communities and the idea of another Commonwealth intervention. One topic that has not been mentioned is Alice's highl…

Catholicism and Intermarriage in the United States
Catholicism and Intermarriage in the United States
In this study Catholic mixed-marriage rates [in the United States] are examined among a sample of approximately 600 currently married men and women. It is shown that the incidence of intermarriage is substantially lower if current religion is used rather than religious upbringing. It is further shown that...after adjusting for other background factors Catholics particularly those born in the 1950s have become more likely to intermarry. (EXCERPT)
Unemployment and marital status in Great Britain
During the past decade, the marriage rate has declined and the divorce rate has increased in Great Britain. Becker (1981) attributes such changes to improvements in the economic status of women, in that high-wage women gain less from marriage relative to other women. However, an empirical analysis of data from the General Household Survey 1985 in Great Britain shows that male unemployment is another important determinant of changes in marital sta…
Catholicism and the Economics of Fertility
The economic approach to fertility is an application of the economic theory of consumer behaviour. It is assumed that utility-maximizing decisions regarding children are affected by explicit and implicit prices and income. One of the criticisms of this approach is that social norms tend to be given short shrift. In this paper, we examine the effect of Catholicism on fertility in the United States. Several new findings are presented. Most importan…
More on the determinants of the fertility transition
The economic approach to fertility is an application of the economics theory of consumer behavior. It is assumed that consumers of children are utility-maximizers with stable preferences over time. Thus, changes in fertility are related to changes in household income and the "price" of children. One concern in this approach is that demographic changes are a product of changes in tastes rather than exogenous changes in economic factors such as the…
The State of Economic Analysis in Water Resources Planning
The use of benefit-cost analysis in federal water resources planning is examined. In addition, its role in the decision-making process is assessed. An argument is made that its use might be more effective if government planners at the sub national level were better trained in economics. The costs of such investments in the quality of water resource planners are shown to be inconsequential with respect to the costs of inefficient projects. In addi…
Economic Aspects of Single Parenthood in Chicago
Estimates of single parenthood rates within Chicago [Illinois] in 1970 and 1980 are made. It is shown that single parenthood is explained predominantly by low earning ability. In addition the data reveal that very high earning ability also increases single parenthood rates. The former is affected substantially by low education and high unemployment--particularly in the black community--while the latter is partly the product of an increase in the …
Federal Water Resources Policy and Decision-Making: Their Formulation Is Essentially a Political Process Conditioned by Government Structure and Needs
The effects that politics, government structure, and economic standards have upon federal water resources planning are examined. Water resources policy decisions are treated as a product of political demands which, in turn, are examined as a product of the direct or indirect stakes, or perception thereof, in a policy. Government structure also affects decisions, since it affects political access and, subsequently, power as well as the administrat…
Calendar of Meetings: Special Meetings on Latin America
Studies of the Social ScienceResearch Council (SSRC) and the American Council on Learned Societies (ACLS) convened the conference to improve communication among younger scholars who have recently conducted field research in Latin America, and to learn more about the problems and opportunities posed by this research. Most of the participants were current or
The Emergency Advisory Committee for Political Defense
The war and the present preoccupation with post-war plans have brought about a general awareness of the fact that the Americas have been a testing ground for the orderly organization of relations among sovereign states, especially in the development of cooperative principles and techniques. The construction of a political organization within which these principles and techniques could be consolidated has not, however, characterized the American e…
Reservations to Multilateral Treaties Made in the Act of Ratification or Adherence
The question of the admissibility of reservations to multilateral treaties continues to present problems of great theoretical and practical interest. In particular, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the procedure which should be followed where a signatory or adhering state desires to formulate reservations in the act of ratification or adherence. This question is of special interest to international organizations such as the Pan A…
