An Unreliable Ladder: Top–Bottom Self-Placement, Subjective Social Status, and Political Preferences
Research on right populist support and redistribution preferences increasingly argues for the explanatory power of subjective over objective social position. However, scrutiny of a widely used measure underlying such findings is lacking. I provide a multifaceted assessment of the Top–Bottom Self-Placement question (“Topbot”), which is primarily used in the International Social Survey Programme. Through 36 cognitive interviews and analysis of seco…
The Total Effect of Social Origins on Educational Attainment: Meta-analysis of Sibling Correlations From 18 Countries
The sibling correlation (SC), which estimates the total effect of family background (i.e., social origins), can be interpreted as measuring a society's inequality of opportunity. Its sensitivity to observed and unobserved factors makes the SC an all-encompassing measure and an attractive choice for comparative research. We gather and summarize all available estimates of SCs in educational attainment (M = .46, SD = .09) and employ meta-regression …
Stressful Life Events, Differential Vulnerability, and Depressive Symptoms: Critique and New Evidence
Depressive symptoms are disproportionately high among women and less educated individuals. One mechanism proposed to explain this is the differential vulnerability hypothesis-that these groups experience particularly strong increases in symptoms in response to stressful life events. We identify limitations to prior work and present evidence from a new approach to life stress research using the UK Household Longitudinal Study. Preliminarily, we re…
The when and the how of the emergence of social inequality in mental health: Exploring social causation and health selection through employment transitions
Double Trouble: Does Job Loss Lead to Union Dissolution and Vice Versa
A now-substantial literature claims that job loss and union dissolution (the end of a marriage or cohabiting relationship) each increase individuals' risk of the other, highlighting that major negative life events in the labour market and family can spill over across domains. We address three limitations of this research using UK data. First, these associations might arise from unmeasured factors which jointly predispose individuals to the two ev…
Adolescent mental health and behavioural problems, and intergenerational social mobility: A decomposition of health selection effects
Social and Emotional Loneliness: Gender Differences and Relationships with Self-Monitoring and Perceived Control
Little research focuses on the distinction between emotional and social loneliness, particularly within the African American population. This article provides insight into these overlooked dimensions of loneliness. African American under-graduates (50 men, 50 women) from a large predominantly White, Midwestern university completed measures of social and emotional loneliness, the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale, an index of perceived control, and se…
Reliability of a Greek Translation of the Life Satisfaction Index
Scores on a Greek translation of the Life Satisfaction Index were correlated .95 with scores on the English version for a sample of 36 bilingual Greek university women. The internal reliability of the Greek translation was estimated by a coefficient alpha of .78. Scores were significantly correlated -.51 with those on a previously published Greek translation of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and -.37 with Social loneliness and -.40 with Emotio…
Reliability Data on a Greek Translation of the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale
Scores on a Greek translation of the Revised Self-monitoring Scale were very highly correlated with those on the English version among 36 bilingual undergraduate Greek university students. For a sample of 127 undergraduate women in Greece coefficient alpha for Factor A. Ability to Modify Self-presentation was .63, and for Factor B. Sensitivity to the Expressive Behavior of Others was .65 when Item 4 was deleted. Scores for both Factor A and Facto…
Reliability Data for a Greek Translation of the Revised Ucla Loneliness Scale: Comparisons with Data from the USA
A Greek translation of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale was internally reliable (alpha = .89), after eliminating Item 4, and significantly correlated with the English version (r = .94) for a sample of bilingual students. Weiss's distinction between social loneliness and emotional loneliness was also reliably identified in the Greek translation. Loneliness scores in Greece were significantly higher than in the USA. The translation seems to be suf…

Test-Retest Reliability of the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale over a Two-Year Period
The Revised Self-monitoring Scale of Lennox and Wolfe was administered to 83 staff nurses in 1987 and in 1989 as part of on-going research. Test-retest correlations were: for Factor A, Ability to Modify Self-presentation, .53, for Factor B, Sensitivity to the Expressive Behavior of Others, .52, and for the Total Self-monitoring Score .55. These scores were sufficiently strong to warrant continued, but cautious use of this revised test
Emergent leadership as a function of sex and task type
Leadership Style and Leader Title
In a 2 by 4 design, leadership style (authoritarian versus democratic) was varied against form of address (Mr., Ms., Miss, Mrs.) in a simulated small group case study. Subjects (374 college and high school students) read the case study and then rated their reactions to the leaderson behavioral differential factors of “subordination” and “friendship.” These ratings indicate significant effects due to leader style (i.e., greater subordination and s…

Expectations of reinforcement from alcohol: Their domain and relation to drinking patterns.
Developed a questionnaire from interviews with 125 15–60 yr old individuals of diversified drinking backgrounds. Responses from an additional 400 Ss were used to refine the questionnaire, and the refined version was administered to 440 nonalcoholic Ss. The 6 independent expectancies extracted were that alcohol transforms experiences in a positive way, enhances social and physical pleasure, enhances sexual performance and experience, increases pow…
Effects of Task and Group Size Upon Group Productivity and Member Satisfaction
Belief defense produced by derogation of message source
Prior Reassurance of Group Consensus as a Factor in Producing Resistance to Persuasion
It was postulated that cultural truisms (beliefs accepted without question by the members of a given society) appear very strong but actually prove highly vulnerable to persuasive attacks, because the believer is unpracticed in defending them. To stimulate the person to develop his defenses and acquire resistance to persuasion, it is necessary to threaten him, rather than further reassure him, about the validity of his belief. It was found, as pr…
