Higher Emotion Dysregulation and Coping Motives in Alcoholand Marijuana Users
Background: Prior research indicates that difficulties in emotion regulation may contribute to the use of substances (e.g. alcohol and marijuana) to alleviate negative affect. Therefore, we hypothesized that coping motives for alcohol and marijuana use would serve as an intermediary in the relationship between emotion dysregulation and alcohol/marijuana-related outcomes. Methods: The sample comprised 241 college students who used both alcohol and…

Why Is There a Strong Positive Correlation Between Perpetration and Being a Victim of Sexual Coercion? An Exploratory Study
The role of life history strategy in the correspondence between being a victim and a perpetrator of sexual coercion
The current investigation was undertaken to examine the possible role of life history (LH) strategy in the correspondence between being a victim of sexual coercion and being a perpetrator. Although victimhood was associated with LH strategies for males, and LH strategy was associated with perpetration for both sexes, mediation by LH strategy between victimhood and perpetrating was not supported. Support was found for life history strategy as a mo…
Perpetration of Sexual Coercion and Victim of Sexual Coercion Scales: Development and Validation
The purpose of this research was to create two scales, one to measure the tendency to perpetrate sexual coercion and one the tendency to be a victim of sexual coercion (Study 1), and to provide data validating the scales (Studies 2 and 3). Using the rational method of scale construction, two 13-item scales were constructed: the Perpetrator of Sexual Coercion Scale and the Victim of Sexual Coercion Scale. Construct validity (Study 2) was based on …
Investment in Personal Development Scale: A Preliminary Study
Life history theory suggests that reproduction of the species involves three areas of investment: personal development, mating, and nurturing offspring. Using the rational method of test construction, a 29-item scale was constructed to measure investment in personal development, the Investment in Personal Development Scale. Scale scores were statistically significantly correlated with age, year in school, identity commitment, and conscientiousnes…
The exchange of physical attractiveness for resource potential and commitment
According to David Buss's evolutionary theory of sex differences in sexual strategies men prefer short term, promiscuous sexual encounters because each encounter may result in the conception of a child and the perpetuation of the man's genes. On the other hand, women prefer long term, committed relationships. Only having sex with a man with resources who is willing to commit those resources to the woman and their child is a much more adaptive str…
Individual Differences in Valuing Mates' Physical Attractiveness
To investigate correlates of valuing physical attractiveness in a mate, it was hypothesized that valuing physical attractiveness in a mate would correlate with sex and valuing promiscuous sex, status, personal physical attractiveness, beauty, and order. Men and women college students completed measures of the extent to which they valued physical attractiveness in a mate and other variables. Valuing physical attractiveness in a mate was correlated…
Individual Differences in Valuing Mates' Physical Attractiveness
Do Men Believe That Physically Attractive Women are More Healthy and Capable of Having Children
The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that men view physical attractiveness as an index of a woman's health and her capacity to have children. 21 men and 26 women from an introductory psychology course were shown photographs from 1972 of men and women college students, judged in 2002 to be attractive or unattractive. Subjects were asked to rate the photographed individuals' current health, the probability that they were married,…
Men's Desire for Children Carrying Their Genes and Sexual Jealousy: A Test of Paternity Uncertainty as an Explanation of Male Sexual Jealousy
In a classic study, Buss, Larson, Westen, and Semmelroth found that men were more distressed by the thought of a partner's sexual infidelity (labeled sexual jealousy) and women were more distressed by the thought of a partner's emotional infidelity (labeled emotional jealousy). Buss and his associates explained the results by suggesting that men are concerned about uncertainty of paternity, that is, the possibility of raising another man's child …
Do Men Believe That Physically Attractive Women Are More Healthy and Capable of Having Children
Relationship between Short-Term Sexual Strategies and Sexual Jealousy
In a classic study, Buss, Larson, Westen, and Semmelroth reported that men were more distressed by the thought of a partner's sexual infidelity (sexual jealousy) and women were more distressed by the thought of a partner's emotional infidelity (emotional jealousy). Initially, Buss and his associates explained these results by suggesting that men are concerned about uncertainty of paternity, that is, the possibility of raising another man's child …
Are Sex Differences in Sexual vs Emotional Jealousy Explained Better by Differences in Sexual Strategies or Uncertainty of Paternity
An Evolutionary Perspective on the Interaction of Age and Sex Differences in Short-Term Sexual Strategies
Buss and Schmitt's sexual strategies theory (1993) suggests that short-term mating represents a larger component of men's than women's mating strategies. Assuming this sex difference there is potential for conflict. Symons argued that, because men are more interested in copulation than women, this gives women greater power in establishing conditions (short- vs long-term) under which copulation takes place. The result is that the conflict in sexua…
Behavior Genetics and a Horse's Show Performance
The purpose of this research was to assess whether it is possible to predict a Morgan horse's show performance on the basis of that of its sire. An examination of the show records of the 550 horses that had placed in the 1991 Grand National Morgan Horse Show yielded some support for prediction
Jealous Aggression: Who is the Target, the Beloved or the Rival
The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that when an individual's romantic partner is sexually unfaithful the individual will be more angry with and aggressive toward the partner than the third party. 40 college men and women participated in this study. Each subject rated how angry and aggressive he or she would be toward him- or herself, the partner, and the third party if the partner were unfaithful. Intensity of love, degree of…
Dealing With Romantic Jealousy by Finding a Replacement Relationship
Jealousy: Loss of relationship rewards, loss of self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and anger
White's (1981) theory of romantic jealousy states that the loss (or anticipated loss) of a romantic partner to a rival causes two kinds of suffering: loss (or anticipated loss) of relationship rewards and loss (or anticipated loss) of self-esteem. Elaborating this theory, we proposed that loss of relationship rewards causes depression, whereas loss of self-esteem causes anxiety and anger. General support was found for White's theory and the elabo…
Peak Experience Tendencies: Scale Development and Theory Testing
The research reported here involved the creation of a measure of the tendency to have peak experiences called the Peak Scale, and the testing of several hypotheses drawn from Maslow's theory of peak experiences. It was found that although individuals who report having peak experiences are also likely to report having experiences involving intense happiness, they are even more prone to report having cognitive experiences of a transcendent and myst…

An Empirical Trial Of The Effectiveness of Statistical Methodology With Site Survey Data: An Application of The Correlation Coefficient to Survey Data From Mahaska County, Iowa
To find out whether complex statistical methods could be successfully applied to site survey data, the correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability and validity of survey data gathered from Mahaska county, Iowa by means of a mailed questionnaire. It was also used to identify geographical characteristics of the sites located by the above survey. The reliability of the survey data was found to be questionable, while their validity w…

Self-Actualization, Meta Values, and Creativity
The humanistic psychologists, Rogers and Maslow, have suggested that values have an organismic or biological basis and thus can and should be studied empirically. The strategy followed by Maslow has been to ask self-actualizing people or people who are especially open to experience, including organismic experience, what they value. Maslow found that such people value a set of qualities which he called metavalues, a partial list of which includes …

Nine “Colours” or Types of Romantic Love
The purpose of this study was to use psychometric procedures to test the empirical validity of Lee's nine types of romantic love. To accomplish this, multi-item scales were constructed to measure each of the types. These scales, along with three established measures of romantic love, were then given to 56 dating couples. Analysis of these data involved determining the scales' internal consistency reliabilities and concurrent and discriminant vali…
Jealousy, Romantic Love, and Liking: Theoretical Considerations and Preliminary Scale Development
The studies reported in this paper had two purposes, the construction of a measure of jealousy and the use of this measure to test some prevalent beliefs concerning jealousy with the aim of providing construct validity for the scale and expanding our empirical understanding of jealousy. Using the rational approach to test construction, a 28-item test was constructed. This scale was expected to correlate positively with romantic love, insecurity, …

Behavioral Correlates of the Interpersonal Jealousy Scale
To establish further the validity of the Interpersonal Jealousy scale, the investigators correlated it with each of two behavioral measures of (a) threat when one is confronted by a rival and (b) expressions of possessiveness toward the partner. Significant correlations were found to provide evidence of validity. As the Interpersonal Jealousy Scale and the behavioral measures of threat and possessiveness did not share method variance, the obtaine…
Jealousy, a Creation of Human Culture
To refute the position that jealousy is primarily a creation of human culture, two hypotheses were tested. The first was that jealousy in cats and dogs is frequently inferred by humans. The second was that the positive relationship between love and jealousy noted in human beings would also be inferred for cats and dogs. Support was found for both hypotheses in reports of animals' behavior by student-owners. It was concluded that jealousy is an in…
Mystical Experiences, Romantic Love, and Hypnotic Susceptibility
Measures of tendency to have mystical experiences, romantic love, and hypnotic susceptibility were positively intercorrelated suggesting that they all involve the ability to suspend contact with objective reality
A Convergent Validity Study of Six Jealousy Scales
To determine the convergent validity of 6 measures of jealousy, these measures along with two measures of neuroticism, two measures of romantic love, and a measure of extraversion were factor analyzed. The factors identified were jealousy-neurosis, jealousy, extraversion, and romantic love. An examination of the item format of the three jealousy scales that loaded on the first factor indicated that they might be contaminated by the social desirab…

Romantic Love and the Ravages of Time
The purpose of the present research was to assess whether romantic love is a temporary state. In Study I 88 subjects (62 women, 26 men) reported length of interest in their beloved, romantic feelings, absence of anxiety, absence of anger, and elation elicited by the thought of the beloved, as well as the frequency with which they thought of the beloved. Length of interest did not correlate with the various emotions but relationship status did. St…
