Cost-effectiveness of provider-based HIV partner notification in urban Malawi
Provider-initiated partner notification for HIV effectively identifies new cases of HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, but is not widely implemented. Our objective was to determine whether provider-based HIV partner notification strategies are cost-effective for preventing HIV transmission compared with passive referral. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis using a decision-analytic model from the health system perspective during a 1-year period. C…

Do Higher-Order Music Ontologies Rest on a Mistake
Recent work in the ontology of music suggests that we will avoid confusion if we distinguish between two kinds of question that are typically posed in music ontology. Thus, a distinction has been made between fundamental ontology and higher-order ontology. The former addresses questions about the basic metaphysical options from which ontologists choose. For instance, are musical works types, indicated types, classes of particulars, or some other …
Theodicy
This study was concerned with lay explanations about the problems of evil, and so with theodicy. More than 100 subjects completed a six-part question- naire on human suffering in which they were presented with 15 possible ex- planations for the outcomes of five events-one concerning suffering in general and the others referring to specific instances of human suffering as a result of natural or manmade disasters that produced one or many deaths (a…
Religious and Gender Prototypes
Heterogeneous groups of subjects using free responses and ratings of gender- based traits show that the religious and non-religious prototypes are gender typed, since people assign feminine traits to a religious person and masculine traits to a non-religious person. Not only are women more religious than men, but these prototypes make it easier for women to be religious than it is for men
Phenomenologies of Religion
It is agreed that the multidimensional space that religions occupy has not been well described beyond its psychological basis in practice, belief, feelings or experiences, and consequential effects. The dependence of these elements on tradition-specific pressures and on the orthodoxies of scientific and religious methods and theories—through which they have been systematized by Social scientists—could provoke and support a greater range of interp…
Art and the Structure of Religion
This paper identifies the dimensions of religion underlying verbal reactions to reproductions of paintings broadly accepted as 'religious', rated on previously derived adjectival scales. In a factor analysis of those ratings, paintings of people who were recognizably or explicitly religious had the highest loadings. The second factor involved the flowing style in paintings that portrayed postures of consolation, submission, or dependence. These r…
The Predisposition To Pray
Previous research into prayer during childhood and adolescence has tended to emerge from the context of developmental psychology with little regard for the role of social and contextual influences. The present study redresses that balance by employing path analysis to examine the influence of home, church and denominational identity on an attitudinal predisposition to pray and the practice of prayer among 4,948 eleven year old children in England…
Psychological correlates of weight control among anorexia nervosa patients and normal girls
A study is reported that compared the responses of anorexic patients with those of two groups of non‐patient adolescent girls formed by taking the most frequent and the least frequent weighers from a large sample of senior schoolgirls. Each subject completed a questionnaire which related to family conflict, self‐esteem, self‐presentation, behavioural control, and the criticism of eating. A MANOVA was performed, using scores for each variable and …
A comparison of the attitudes of young anorexia nervosa patients and non‐patients with those of their mothers
Attitudes towards ‘sickness’, ‘arguments’, ‘tension’, ‘social isolation’, ‘thinness’, ‘growing up’ and ‘grown up’ were investigated in 20 young female anorexia nervosa patients and their mothers, and in 32 volunteer non‐patient schoolgirls and their mothers. A computer‐generated semantic differential questionnaire was completed by each daughter and her mother, first for herself and then as she thought the other person would have answered it. The …
The Structure of Religion
Three dimensions underlying an implicit understanding of concepts are described. Instead of answering a set of attitude and belief items, a sample of subjects was asked to generate their own lists of religious ideas or concepts. A second sample of subjects then rated the 33 most frequently mentioned concepts on each of 16 bipolar scales. Those judgements were analyzed by Carroll and Chang's (1970) INDSCAL program. A three-dimensional solution eme…

Locus of control and contraceptive knowledge, attitudes and practice
A series of 100 interviews with women attending ante‐natal clinics at two Sydney public hospitals assessed their contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practice and locus of personal control (whether they believed they controlled their own lives). Multiple regression analyses showed that locus of control was significantly related to their attitudes to contraception, but not to their contraceptive knowledge or practice. The implications of that f…

Adaptation to 23.5-Hr. Food and Water Deprivation Schedules in the Rat and Guinea Pig
20 rats and 20 guinea pigs were compared on a 23.5-hr. water-deprivation schedule and on a 23.5-hr. food-deprivation schedule. Rats showed a satisfactory adjustment to both these schedules, while guinea pigs adjusted to water-deprivation but not to the food-deprivation schedule

Adaptation to a Water-Deprivation Schedule in Guinea Pigs
2 experiments concerned adaptation to a water deprivation schedule. Guinea pigs needed about 21 days to adjust to such a schedule, and a green supplement which is necessary for maintaining health does not interfere markedly with water consumption
Questionnaire Anxiety
A set of commonly used questionnaire measures of anxiety was administered to a homogeneous student sample, and intercorrelations were obtained among these scores and for intelligence and course grades. The results show a ‘questionnaire anxiety’ as the common factor. Anxiety assessments from the Draw-A-Person test were found to be highly unreliable

The Perception of Illusions as a Constancy Phenomenon
The view, recently revived, that the non‐veridical perception of visual illusions results from size constancy processes set up by the depth features of flat figures has been tested with a series of eight stimuli. Data collected from experiments with 44 subjects suggest that this view applies only to a limited range of visual illusions and that, therefore, it has not the generality claimed by its proponents

Classifications of Religious Orientation
C LASSIFICATIONS of religious institutions and religious leaders have been developed by sociologists of religion,' but few attempts have been made to classify people in their orientation to religion. Typologies within psychology of religion have usually been developed with reference to some feature of Christian behaviour. Thus William James accepted Starbuck's typology based on whether people are susceptible to gradual or sudden conversion,2 sayi…

In an empirical study of religious belief, measures of strength of belief in an Australian student population were compared with beliefs in other areas and with personality and attitudinal variables.The correlation matrix shows that the religious belief measures belong together and that religious belief has its best relationships with institutionalization and denomination on the one hand and with authoritarianism on the other.

Applicants for assisted migration from the United Kingdom to New Zealand
This is a study of 400 forms of application for assisted migration to New Zealand, received at the New Zealand Migration Office in London from residents of the United Kingdom during two months in 1953. Such a source can give information converning some of the characteristics of would-be emigrants. The results suggest that the commonly accepted characteristics of migrants can be seen at the stage of making the initial application, although there i…
