Self-esteem of persons seeking dates via bars, singles clubs, and personal advertisements
The self‐esteem and self‐confidence of single adults seeking dates or mates in three date‐meeting environments—bars, singles clubs, and personal advertisements in newspapers—were investigated. No significant differences in levels of self‐esteem or self‐confidence were found among date seekers who used only one of these three meeting environments. However, date seekers who used two or more environments for meeting people had significantly lower le…
Self-Esteem and Alexithymia
236 college students completed Coopersmith's Self-esteem Inventory and Taylor's 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale.

These results suggest a ne…
Correlations between Self-Defeating Personality and Self-Esteem
41 men and 56 women completed Schill's self-defeating personality scale and Coopersmith's self-esteem scale. The total scores from these instruments were significantly negatively correlated (ranges, -.50 to -.77). The inverse relationship between self-defeating personality and self-esteem appears to be higher for men than for women. However, no significant differences were found between the men's and women's scores on self-esteem or self-defeatin…
Patients' and Spouses' Religious Problem-Solving Styles and Their Physiological Health
From 55 patients after myocardial infarctions and their spouses, responses—metabolic entry and exit scores (1 to 48 mo. postinfarct) and scores on three religious problem-solving styles—showed no problem-solving styles were associated with patients' early improvement but, as time passed, scores on collaboration with God decreased as did those on deferring to God, while self-direction increased. Patients scored lower on collaboration and higher on…

Most marital research in the last two decades has been conducted with predominately white, middle-class, North American married couples; little is known about marital communication practices of couples who live in different cultures. In an attempt to understand the dynamics of cultural orientations to marriages, two types of couples from Kerala (India) and a sample of couples from Michigan (U.S.A.) were compared on their marital satisfaction and …

Communication-Conflict Predisposition: Development of a Theory and an Instrument
This paper has two objectives. First, it presents a brief informal statement of a theory of the dynamic constructs of personality bearing upon conflicts within and between people. The six dynamics (range of feelings, task energy, respect for community, respect for others, desire for control, and concern for one's own self-uniqueness) are based on the concept-free research of Osgood et al. and Bales. Second, it reports the reliability and validity…
