Caractéristiques des médecins prescrivant des psychotropes davantage aux femmes qu’aux hommes
Les différences observées dans l'état de santé et l'utilisation des services médicaux, selon le sexe, se sont avérées insuffisantes pour expliquer une plus grande consommation de psychotropes chez les femmes que chez les hommes dans les pays industrialisés. Nous avons testé l'hypothèse selon laquelle les habitudes de prescription des médecins expliquent une partie importante de cette observation. Nous démontrons, à l'aide des données de la Régie …
Differences Among Core Dimensions of The Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale Across Age and Gender Groups
The Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is a widely used self-report scale to assess depressive symptom levels among the general population. The purposes of the study are to explore the factor structure of CES-D in a population-based Canadian sample and to compare focal constructs of CES-D across age and gender. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure of the CES-D across three age categories and bo…
Participation Rates and the Difference in Performance of Women and Men in Chess
The superiority of men over women in chess has been cited as evidence that there are fundamental differences in male and female intelligence (Howard, 2005a, 2006; Irwing & Lynn, 2005). An alternative interpretation of the difference is that it is due to differential male and female participation rates in chess (Charness & Gerchak, 1996; Bilalić & McLeod, 2006; Chabris & Glickman, in press). This has been dismissed by Howard (2006) on the grounds …
The Relation of Body Mass Index to Depressive Symptoms
Physician and Practice Characteristics Associated with the Early Utilization of New Prescription Drugs
BACKGROUND: Prescription of new drugs contributes to substantial increases in annual drug expenditures. A small proportion of physicians appear to be early users of new prescription drugs and little is known about their characteristics. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the initial utilization rate of new prescription drugs among physicians, and the physician and practice characteristics associated with early use. DESIGN: Cumulative prospective assessment o…
Perceptions of control, depressive symptomatology, and self-esteem of women in transition from abusive relationships
Infant preference for both male and female infant-directed talk: A developmental study of attentional and affective responsiveness.
This research increases our understanding of infants' preference for "motherese" by demonstrating that this preference extends to infant-directed talk (IDT) delivered by males as well as females and that infants show both more attentional responsiveness and more affective responsiveness to IDT than to adult-directed talk (ADT). Infants aged 4-5.5 and 7.5-9 months were shown video recordings of male and female adults reciting identical scripts in …
