Black/White dating online
We analyzed personal profiles and records of communication for more than a million nationwide users of a major online dating site. White more than Black, women more than men, and old more than young users stated a preference for a same-race partner. Overall, Blacks, especially Black men, proved more open to cross-race dating than did Whites. More than 80% of the contacts initiated by Whites were to Whites, with only 3% to Blacks. This sharp diffe…
Relationship goals of middle-aged, young-old, and old-old internet daters
Partner preferences across the life span
Stereotypes of older adults as withdrawn or asexual fail to recognize that romantic relationships in later life are increasingly common. The authors analyzed 600 Internet personal ads from 4 age groups: 20-34, 40-54, 60-74, and 75+ years. Predictions from evolutionary theory held true in later life, when reproduction is no longer a concern. Across the life span, men sought physical attractiveness and offered status-related information more than w…
Disentangling stereotype and person effects
Do People Agree About the Causes of Behavior? A Social Relations Analysis of Behavior Ratings and Causal Attributions
Two studies examined consistency and agreement in behavior ratings and causal attributions. In Study 1, participants (N = 280) engaged in a series of getting-acquainted conversations in one of 3 communication media (face-to-face, telephone, computer mediated); in Study 2, participants (N = 120) engaged in a competitive group task. In both studies, participants rated themselves and their interaction partners on a set of behaviors and then made att…
Patients' Experiences of Parkinson's Disease
Patients' (n = 101) experiences of Parkinson's disease (PD) were studied through structured interviews. Oblique factor analysis produced three moderately intercorrelated clusters of items reflecting reported severity of motoric, cognitive, and psychological problems, respectively. Scales formed from the factors were correlated with demographic, disease-related, and psychosocial variables. The demographic variables were not significantly correlate…
The actor-observer effect revisited
This research examined several factors hypothesized to influence the actor-observer effect (AOE). Participants engaged in 3 successive dyadic interactions: after each interaction, they rated the importance of 4 causal factors in influencing their behavior and that of their partner. The AOE held for 1 external factor, interaction partner, and 1 internal factor, personality, but not for situation or mood. Actor and observer attributions changed in …
Personality Change in Parkinson's Disease Patients
Parkinson's disease patients ( N = 41, mean age = 65 years) were described by themselves and their spouses as they were presently and before their illness using the Adjective Check List. Equivalent self‐ and spouse descriptions were obtained from the members of a matched community sample ( N = 96). Descriptions of patients and their spouses converged, both reporting sharp, pervasive (e.g., on all of the Big Five dimensions), and uniformly negativ…

Affect Grid
This article introduces a single-item scale, the Affect Grid, designed as a quick means of assessing affect along the dimensions of pleasure-displeasure and arousal-sleepiness. The Affect Grid is potentially suitable for any study that requires judgments about affect of either a descriptive or a subjective kind. The scale was shown to have adequate reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity in 4 studies in which college students …
An empirical demonstration of the implausibility of the semantic similarity explanation of how trait ratings are made and what they mean

Measurement of moral values
Individual Differences in Anagram-Solving Ability
Anagram solution was, as expected, significantly correlated with level of vocabulary ( r = .29), but, while high anagram scores are associated with high vocabulary, low anagram scores are as often associated with high as with low vocabulary. MMPI measures of Anxiety and Repression were unrelated to anagram solution. In a second study, as predicted, Mednick's RAT, the Gottschaldt Figures Test and an incidental recall measure were significantly cor…
