The Noise From Wind Turbines: Potential Adverse Impacts on Children’s Well-Being
Research linking loud sounds to hearing loss in youngsters is now widespread, resulting in the issuance of warnings to protect children’s hearing. However, studies attesting to the adverse effects of intrusive sounds and noise on children’s overall mental and physical health and well-being have not received similar attention.This, despite the fact that many studies have demonstrated that intrusive noises such as those from passing road traffic, n…
An increase in noise and a decline in civility
Large numbers of people living in tight, crowded urban dwellings and the greater dependency of these people on noise-related technology are two factors that have contributed significantly to the growth of urban noise. Yet, another factor too often ignored, namely the lack of civility, has grown concomitantly with this increase in urban noise. Noise, recognized as a major pollutant in cities around the world, is often the outgrowth of a lack of re…
Do the Future Plans of Educated Black Women Include Black Mates
INTRODUCTION When young, educated women at a large city university began voicing apprehension about finding college-educated mates, Bronzaft (1991) decided to undertake a study examining these women's future goals. She found that they, like their White and Hispanic counterparts, wanted it all: career, marriage, and family. Two-thirds of these women planned to further their education beyond college; over 90% wanted careers in business, law, health…
Career, Marriage, and Family Aspirations of Young Black College Women
Currently over half the university degrees in the United States, the Soviet Union, and many other western countries are granted to women (Gutek, 1988). Large numbers of these women will go on to graduate school and enter traditionally male fields such as law and business. Many, if not most, will want to marry and have children. Yet, in combining a fulltime career with family life, these women will have to make critical decisions about when to mar…
Anagram Solving: Comparison of Scores for Black and White College Students
Test Anxiety and the Economic Recession
The impact of the present economic recession on college students' attitudes toward school and the relationship of these reactions to test-anxiety scores was investigated for two samples of college students, 142 attending a public college and 144 a private college. As hypothesized, students who reported that economic crisis resulted in increased desire to do well in school had higher facilitating and lower debilitating test-anxiety scores than tho…
College Women Want a Career, Marriage and Children
A sample of 210 female graduating seniors from one of the colleges of the City University of New York were questioned as to their educational and vocational plans. A very large majority, 79%, expected to pursue a career, marry and have children. Whether they expected to take time off from their careers to marry and rear children or to raise families while working was a question that needed further exploring

Test Anxiety and Cheating on College Examinations
To determine the relationship between test anxiety and college cheating, 117 Ss who had completed the Alpert-Haber Achievement Anxiety Test were subsequently asked to grade their own classroom examination papers. Although Ss with low grades were more likely to cheat and to have greater debilitating test anxiety, no relationship between cheating and test anxiety was found
Internal-External Scores and Success on an ESP Task
In an investigation of the relationship between Internal-External locus of control and success on an ESP task, 96 college students were given a shortened version of Rotter's I-E Control Scale and a task designed to measure ESP ability. As hypothesized, externals did better than internals on the ESP task
Academic Primogeniture Revisited
Data obtained from one of the 4-yr. colleges of the City University of New York showed 44.1% firstborns in the 1969 freshman class and 42.4% firstborns in the 1970 freshman class. The present findings were compared with earlier studies which reported 50 to 65% firstborns in college populations. In addition, the percentage of firstborns in all family sizes (omitting only children) was lower than that reported for earlier college samples
Female Freshmen View Their Roles as Women
A sample of 1,063 women entering tuition-free public university under an open admissions program in September, 1970, was queried as to their marriage, family and career plans for the future. Responses showed that plurality saw their role in fifteen years as that of a married career woman with children. It was pointed out that these data represented the views of students coming from predominantly lower-middle-class and working-class backgrounds
