Does fortune favour the bald? Psychological correlates of hair loss in males
In order to investigate the relationship between male hair loss and psychological distress, 182 men were recruited who had a wide range of ages and hair loss varying from none to severe. Care was taken to ensure that hair loss and age were uncorrelated in the sample. Multiple regression was used to predict possible consequences of baldness, controlling for age, and examining the interaction between baldness and age to see if consequences were esp…
Personality and quality of marriage
The influence of personality on quality of marriage was examined using causal modelling on a sample of 94 couples who had completed a quality of marriage scale and the revised short form of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Irrespective of gender, quality of marriage was found to be influenced negatively by spouse's neuroticism, but the strongest influence on the quality of marriage of each spouse was the quality of marriage of the other. Al…
Handedness, anxiety and sex differences
Anxiety scores of 35 male and 35 female students (28 right‐handers, 23 left‐handers and 19 mixed‐handers) were assessed in relation to the handedness classification of each individual. Females were found to show higher anxiety scores than were males; but in contradiction to previous findings, left‐handers and mixed‐handers were not found to be more anxious than right‐handers. Extremes of handedness, however, were closely related to anxiety scores…
Effects of Infantile Stimulation and Environmental Familiarity on Exploratory Behaviour in the Rat
Adult rats, which had either been handled daily between birth and weaning or left undisturbed during this period, were tested (i) in an enclosed Y‐maze for 3 min. on five successive days, and (ii) in a dark soundproof box for 1/2 hr. on six successive days; the box had a single lever, a response to which produced dim light of 1 sec. duration on the final three sessions only. An interaction between the effects of handling and of environmental fami…
