Alienation and Emotional Maturity
Despite the lengthy interest in alienation, scholars have not addressed the question of differential individual response to social and personal problems. Research has indicated that the alienated are less likely to confront their problems, e.g., alienation correlates negatively with utilization of medical services and marital adjustment scores. Emotional maturity, on the other hand, has been found related to better marital adjustment, etc. One un…

Emotional Maturity and Marital Adjustment: A Decade Replication
This paper reports the results qf a decade replication of research investigating the relationship between both spousal and sela-rated emotional maturity and the marital adjustment of both spouses. Data for this paper are based upon responses of a randomn sample of 143 husband-wife pairs in the same community in which Dean (1966) did his original study, using a random sample of 117 husband-wife pairs. Using the Dean Emotional Maturity Scale and th…
Whose Marital Adjustment—Hers, His, or Theirs
Some researchers report marital adjustment scores for unrelated husbands and wives; studies of pairs typically report scores correlate about .GO. What can be said of adjustment in the marriage? This exploratory research was undertaken to determine how relationships between communication and marical adjustment might vary when individual scores and various types of group scores were utilized. Self-reports were obtained from 44 married pairs (88 ind…
Alienation and Emotional Maturity: A Preliminary Investigation
This paper develops a new method for hierarchical clustering. Unlike other existing clustering schemes, our method is based on a generative, tree-structured model that represents relationships between the objects to be clustered, rather than directly modeling properties of objects themselves. In certain problems, this generative model naturally captures the physical mechanisms responsible for relationships among objects, for example, in certain e…
Cultural Contradictions and Sex Roles Revisited: A Replication and a Reassessment
The Komarovsky-Wallin thesis of women's pretending inferiority in dating situations was replicated (287 women) and is challenged. Questions are raised as to the appropriate collapsing of categories of responses and the incidence of pretended inferiority in relation to number of dates. Data from a comparison sample of men (318 men) are also presented. Evidence does not sustain the belief of women's pretensions of inferiority
Commitment — An Overlooked Variable in Marital Adjustment
conviction, the senior author proposed that personal commitment to one's marriage be explored as a possible factor in marital success. A search of 27 leading texts in marriage and the family failed to turn up a single instance of commitment even being mentioned as a potential variable in marital success. This study, then, represents an attempt to help account for those succeeding in marriage who shouldn't or those failing to succeed when they sho…

Alienation and Marital Adjustment
IN 1953 NISBET stated: At the present time, in all the sciences, the various synonyms of alienation have a foremost place in studies of human relations. Investigations of the 'unattached,' the 'marginal,' the 'obsessive,' the 'normless,' and the 'isolated individual' all testify to the central place occupied by the hypothesis of alienation in contemporary science .... It has become nearly as prevalent as the doctrine of enlightened self-interest …

Emotional Maturity and Marital Adjustment
A random sample of married couples from a middle-class community of about 6,000 was selected; 117 paired, usable questionnaires were obtained (a response rate of 88 percent of contacted families). Using the Dean Emotional Maturity Scale and the Nye Scale of Marital Adjustment, it was determined that the husband's emotional maturity (self-rated) correlated .28 with his marital adjustment score; his emotional maturity as rated by his wife (independ…

Unlike murder rates, those for suicide are increasing. This trend is historically related to increasing literacy, urbanization, and a larger middle class. Higher status and moral commitment for these persons preclude murder; suicide emerges as a manifestation of increasing numbers of persons in an insecure achieved status. Whether trends, rural-urban areas, or characteristics of individual cases are compared, there is basis for concluding that in…
