The Sustained Reduction-by-Half of Home Advantage in the NHL, 1991-1992 to 2000-2001
In the last decade of the 20th century, home advantage in the National Hockey League (NHL) fell by half, from 60% wins (or higher prior to 1991) to 55% wins, and has remained there until the present. This drop is much the largest and most abrupt of any change in home advantage in elite sports since the end of the Second World War. In addition, it is further complicated by two rule changes at the start of the decade. First, in 1991-1992 the NHL in…

The Contagious Nature of Antisocial Behavior
Attention is called to several recently advanced lines of evidence underscoring the role of contagion in antisocial behavior. One line of evidence consists of findings that the onset of antisocial behavior in one sibling increases the risk to other siblings. A second line of evidence shows that the tendency of monozygotic twins to be more concordant for antisocial behavior than dizygotic twins can be explained by contagion as well as heredity. In…
Human Services at Risk
Publicly supported social services in America are undergoing a major revolution. After the inception and growth of the welfare state came a pervasive switch to the delivery of services by private, mainly nonprofit organizations. Now comes what promises to be an equally pervasive switch from fee‐for‐service to managed care. This time, moreover, the dominance of nonprofit organizations in public social services is very much in question. The possibi…
Behavioral contagion and official delinquency
The cumulative onset curves for smoking, drinking, and sexual intercourse have been tracked through adolescence with reasonable success by recursive equations positing an "epidemic" or contagious process. The gist of these models is that the likelihood of onset in the next time period is proportional to the prevalence of the behavior among an adolescent's peers in the current time period. The present paper extends this approach to official delinq…
Decline of the American Orphanage, 1941-1980
Orphanage care in America went into decline after World War II and by 1980 was no longer an important factor in American child welfare. The usual explanation is that child-welfare professionals considered institutional care to be undesirable, and the Social Security Act of 1935 made it possible for children who would otherwise have been placed in orphanages to be supported in their own homes. It was certainly more complicated than that. The purpo…
Crisis of the American Orphanage, 1931-1940
Orphanage censuses increased for 25 years after the 1909 White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children. This increase is both well known and easily understood as a result of increasing numbers of children in foster care and limited placement opportunities. The present study is based on the records of 14 children's homes (N = 12,254), together constituting a 91 percent sample of all dependent and neglected children in institutional care…
The Benefits of Beneficence
An astonishing variety of contemporary mainstream institutions for children including schools, camps, kindergartens, hospitals, and much else originated as programs only or primarily for the poor. The process whereby programs intended to moderate the penalties of growing up poor are transformed into mainstream institutions is 2 centuries old in America and still continuing. Contrary to conventional wisdom, efforts to help the poor have not been s…
A Unit-Free Index of Individual Consistency
Individual consistency on a trait across situations and over temporal occasions is necessary if that trait is to be considered an aspect of personality. The correlation coefficient, however, between the trait in two situations or over two temporal occasions tells us only how closely the two measurements are associated "on the average." It does not tell us how consistent or inconsistent a particular individual is. The present paper concerns a unit…

Birth weights of high school dropouts
Thirty-nine dropouts from an all-Negro high school were matched with former classmates to form control groups of slow learners and normals. The mean birth weight of the dropouts was lowest, followed by the slow learners and then the normals. The findings are interpreted in view of previous literature on prematurity and low birth weight

Note on Authoritarianism, Confinement, and Scholastic Aptitude
The Pensacola Z Scale was adopted as a measure of authoritarianism and administered to 761 men undergoing training for submarine duty and 407 naval retrainees confined for “delinquent” behavior. Significantly higher levels of authoritarianism were found among confined Ss. However, the difference was not significant when scholastic aptitude (GCT) was held constant. The results suggest that the frequently observed relationship between authoritarian…
Authoritarianism and intolerance of fluctuation
From the results we may fairly conclude that (a) when Ss are given a uniform set either toward or against reversal, fluctuation of the Necker Cube is a reliable phenomenon, and (b) the rate of fluctuation, when Ss are set toward reversal, is negatively related to authoritarianism.
