Distributive Justice and the Balance of Power
The core proposition of equity theory—that which makes it different from other balance theories — states simply that if one’s input-outcome ratio differs greatly from another’s, one will experience inequity, or what Homans calls distributive injustice. The propositions of equity theory have been studied in naturalistic and laboratory settings. Field studies by Blau and Homans contributed greatly to the early development of equity theory. Equity t…
Continuing Commentary
Contends that in their examination of arguments forwarded by sociobiologists to account for key features of human development, R. M. Lerner and A. von Eye (see record 1992-23071-001) misunderstand the role of general theory in science. They also fail to characterize the work of sociobiologists accurately and inaccurately portray the current power of behavior genetic research
Commentary
In recent years, some behavior geneticists have applied the statistical procedures of the population-genetic approach within evolutionary biology to the study of psychological development. A widely recognized deficiency in the population-genetic approach is the fact that it does not deal with individual development. Thus, the application of the statistical methods of population genetics - primarily the analysis of variance - to the study of the c…

Marital Role Attitudes and Expected Role Behaviors of College Youth in Mainland China and Taiwan
This study examines differences in marital role attitudes and expected behavior among college students in mainland China and Taiwan. It is hypothesized that people in mainland China have become more egalitarian than have people in Taiwan with respect to the division of marital roles. Survey responses from 339 Taiwan students and 288 mainland China students are compared on four dimensions of marital role attitudes and six areas of traditional husb…

The Explanation of Family Violence
The nonrandom pattern of both marital violence and child maltreatment across cultures suggests that such behaviors may have been adaptive in certain past environments. Biological and psychosocial concepts and principles form the basis for a biosocial theory of family violence. In evolutionary theory, the twin concepts of parental investment and paternity certainty suggest the existence of endemic conflicts of interest within marital pairs and bet…

Opiate Use, Addiction, and Relapse
An attempt is made (l) to isolate the critical variables, and (2) to specify the behavioral processes and principles by which these variables operate to produce opiate use, addiction, and relapse. The analysis is an extension of the “differential association-reinforcement” theory, presented previously in this journal, to the drug use-addiction-relapse process. The analysis describes how positive and negative reinforcement, both physiological and …
