Clergy Response to Domestic Violence: A Preliminary Survey of Clergy Members, Victims, and Batterers
Violence Against Female Partners: Direct and Interactive Effects of Family History, Communal Orientation, and Peer-Related Variables
Data from 172 male university students provide evidence for the role of communal orientation (dispositional beliefs that relationship partners should be mutually responsive to each other's needs) in predicting violence against female partners. Associating with peers who verbally endorse and behaviorally model dating violence predicted participants' violent behavior. In addition, communal orientation, a personality trait not previously investigate…
Perceived impact of limb amputation on sexual activity: A study of adult amputees
Although research amply indicates that limb amputation poses serious threats to psychological well‐being, little is known about the role of sexual activity in this process. In this study of 76 amputees, three fourths of the participants reported that amputation had restricted their sexual activities to some extent. Among the variables predicting more negative impact on sexual activity were older age, being unmarried, and greater feelings of amput…
Stress and infectious disease in humans
This article reviews research on the role of stress in infectious disease as measured either by illness behaviors (symptoms and use of health services) or by verified pathology. Substantial evidence was found for an association between stress and increased illness behavior, and less convincing but provocative evidence was found for a similar association between stress and infectious pathology. Introverts, isolates, and persons lacking social skil…

In these studies Ss induced to help showed improved moods and self-evaluations relative to Ss not given an opportunity to help. A 3rd study examined the moderating effects of desired relationship type on reactions to having helped. In this study Ss were led to desire either a communal or an exchange relationship with another. They …
