Evaluation of Minimum Unit Pricing of Alcohol
In May 2018, Scotland became the first country in the world to implement minimum unit pricing (MUP) for all alcoholic drinks sold in licensed premises in Scotland. The use of a Sunset Clause in the MUP legislation was a factor in successfully resisting legal challenges by indicating that the final decision on a novel policy would depend on its impact. An overarching evaluation has been designed and the results will provide important evidence to i…
Maternal Exposure to Ambient Air Pollution and Pregnancy Complications in Victoria, Australia
The relationship between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution and pregnancy complications is not well characterized. We aimed to explore the relationship between maternal exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and placental abruption. Using administrative data, we defined a state-wide cohort of singleton pregnancies born …
A Social Theory of Trade Regime Change
Traditional approaches to regimes generally understand them to be linked to the material powers of the states that create them. In contradistinction, I use a synthesis of constructivist and material theory to analyze the changing role of developing countries during the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations. Employing a structurationist insight, I note that states (agents) and trading regimes (social structures) are reflexively constructed. In this …
The Temperament/Actualization Concept
The tide in humanistic psychology has been running against the psychobiological perspective. In this climate, the author and his students have gathered a body of data showing that the nonactualization of a temperament, a psychobiological trait of personality, is a significant predictor of maladjustment (e.g., other directedness and anxiety). The findings have led the author to propose the temperament/actualization concept, which is developed and …
Further Development of the Public-Private Congruence Technique 1
This paper reports on the replication and refinement of a technique for assessing the discrepancy between public social behaviors and private interaction proclivities. Generally, we replicated previous findings that this discrepancy predicts concurrent signs of maladjustment. The technique will prove valuable to those interested in the psychology of incongruence

Inherent Potentialities of Actualization
Biological factors are strongly emphasized in the actualization theories of Maslow and Rogers. Despite this emphasis, functionally nothing is known about the composition of the inherent potentialities of actualization. This study was intended to provide specific information about such potentialities. Toward that end, the study focused on the construct of the personality temperament, a trait having a significant genetic foundation. Using the tempe…
Rogerian Self-Actualization
Carl Rogers's construct of self-actualization changed significantly in its theoretical meaning and usage. In an early period, self-actualization identified Rogers's central motivational construct, which centered on optimal functioning. In later theoretical periods, the tendency toward self-actualization became part of a larger and more dynamic motivational model in which there exists the very good chance that self-actualization will conflict with…
Further Considerations of the Phenomenology of Proxemics
Subjective distance is the individual's experience of a particular objective interpersonal distance. In the present experiments, this distance was measured by subjects positioning two inanimate forms at a separation distance they judged as identical to an actual social spacing preceding the measurement task. In Exp. 1, subjective distances for 30 males and 30 females were assessed following a condition of inappropriate spatial closeness; the subj…
Distant Interpersonal Spacing and Psychological Distance
A recent line of research in the personal space area addresses the subject's experiential state of social spacing. One such study has reported that under close spacing, subjects experience the distance as significantly closer than the actual distance. This paper investigated the phenomenology of distant spacing. Females were moved beyond their preferred distance to another person and their judgments of the distant spacing were measured. Such a co…
