Women's Representation in the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales
The new Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales elected in May 1999 were notable for the high levels of women's representation amongst their membership. This article examines the decisions taken by the main political parties about candidate selection and specifically the promotion of women candidates, exploring some of the inter and intra party dynamics influencing this result. The most significant changes were achieved in those parti…
Books in the Nineties
We return here to an initiative begun in the first issue of this volume of ourJournal, the collaborative review essay, by five authors, each discussing some significant works that seem to have fallen through the cracks of our book review section between 1987 and 1997. The first installment, written by Hiromi Lorraine Sakata, Melinda Russell, and Victoria Lindsay Levine, and reviewing a sampling of major ethnographies, innovative approaches to met…
Skin colour, measures of socioeconomic status, and blood pressure among blacks in Erie County, NY
This study examined (1) the construct validity of an observational skin colour measure and (2) the interrelationships of skin colour, measures of socioeconomic status (SES), and blood pressure (BP) in a random survey of black male (n = 354) and black female (n = 641) household residents aged 18-86 in Erie County, NY. Significant associations between lighter skin colour and older age (p < 0.05), and being female (p < 0.01) were observed, confirmin…
Anger-coping styles and blood pressure in black and white males
Data from a random survey of household residents in the urban area of Buffalo, stratified by race and education, showed relations between anger-coping styles and age-weight adjusted blood pressure (BP) among males (N = 720). Findings show that older black males with a high reflective mode of anger (constrain anger and try to solve the problem) had significantly lower blood pressure than those with low scores on this mode. In contrast, older black…
The relationship of family size and spacing to the growth of preschool Mayan children in Guatemala
The height of preschool Mayan children is analyzed with respect to family size and the spacing of their siblings, controlling for parental heights and weights. Data on 643 cases were abstracted from the records of two previous longitudinal studies on the health of children under age five years living in the highlands of Guatemala. Height at age three years is estimated from the linear regression equations fitted for each child to measurements of …
