Images of the Sacred: An Empirical Study
One way to deal with the process of secularization empirically is to compare indicators of the influence of religion over time. It is hypothesized that there is a historical trend for a decrease in the influence of religion. Data are presented from paintings in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. The data show a steady decrease in religious themes in paintings from the 14th to the 20th centuries

Personality, Power and Politics: A Social Psychological Analysis of the Italian Deputy and His Parliamentary System
On the face of it there is no reason to believe that any single constellation of traits distinguishes those people the world happens to call politicians from their brethren. This is not to say that personality and politics are unconnected, but rather that the connections are complex in ways that need to be anticipated if political analysts are to get at the root of their subject matter. For example, politicians may perform roles that make such va…
Task Allocation in Marriage in the United States and Belgium
