Representations of the relative proportions of body part width
Despite our wealth of experience with our bodies, our perceptions of our body size are far from veridical. For example, when estimating the relative proportions of their body part lengths, using the hand as a metric, individuals tend to exhibit systematic distortions which vary across body parts. Whilst extensive research with healthy populations has focused on perceptions of body part length, less is known about perceptions of the width of indiv…
The distorted body: The perception of the relative proportions of the body is preserved in Parkinson’s disease
Given humans’ ubiquitous visual experience of their own body, one reasonable assumption is that one’s perceptions of the lengths of their body parts should be accurate. However, recent research has shown that large systematic distortions of the length of body parts are present in healthy younger adults. These distortions appear to be linked to tactile sensitivity such that individuals overestimate the length of body parts of low tactile sensitivi…
Beliefs About the Consequences of Maternal Employment for Children
A 24-item scale was developed to measure Beliefs about the Consequences of Maternal Employment for Children (BACMEC), including beliefs about both benefits (13 items) and costs (11 items). Studies of five samples ( n = 375) demonstrate that the total BACMEC scale and its sub-scales are highly reliable and have good convergent, divergent, and concurrent validity. Scores on the Costs Subscale predicted greater sex-role traditionalism, women's emplo…

Misrecall of Pre-Manipulation Opinion: Repression or Recency Effect
The misrecall of pre-manipulation opinion is a phenomenon subject to either an explanation based on motivational defensive repression or one of non-motivational self-attribution. A before-after study of persuasive communication was conducted in which all participants completed measures of defensiveness, repression, and self-racing of independence. On the basis of an hypothesis of defensive repression it was predicted that opinion changers who mis…
Having a Third Child: Predicting Behavioral Intentions
Fifty-nine married women with exactly two children were questioned about their intentions to have a third child. Intentions were strongly related to perceived consequences of a third child as well as to perceived normative beliefs and motivations to comply with these beliefs. Results indicated the utility of Fishbeins behavioral intention model for predicting the intention to have a third child. Findings were contrasted with previous disappointin…
Theories of Attitude Change and the “Beyond Family Planning” Debate: The Case for the Persuasion Approach in Population Policy
Suggestions for population policy strategies have ranged from “do nothing” to “use inescapable force.” In practice, however, persuasion and positive incentives are the two strategies that are most widely employed in contemporary population planning programs. Other means for lowering the birth rate tend to be rejected by policymakers as ethically unacceptable, ineffective, or infeasible. In both social psychological theory and population policy pr…
