Strategic Matters: Apparatuses, Sub-Individuals, and Anthropological Slumber
This paper uses the methodological dispute between Karen Barad and Thomas Lemke over the concept of strategy and the dispositif to access a deeper methodological issue in genealogy pertaining to matter. Critics including Barad and Beatrice Han find a problematic ambiguity in Foucault’s writings around how to articulate the force of discursive practices. This ambiguity coalesces in the figure of the individual and the question of how genealogy han…

Enhanced Mood After a Getting-Acquainted Interaction with a Stranger: Do Shy People Benefit Too
People report positive moods and enhanced well-being when they socialize with friends and other close ties. However, because most people routinely have more encounters with acquaintances and strangers (social connections known as weak ties) than with close friends or kin ( strong ties), we deemed it important to examine whether interaction with weak ties also enhances happiness and well-being. This investigation, which analyzed data from two labo…

Religious Socialization: A Test of the Channeling Hypothesis of Parental Influence on Adolescent Faith Maturity
Recent research on intergenerational faith transfer has argued that (a) parents have a direct effect on the adolescence acquisition of religiosity and (b) parental effects are mediated through congregation and peers. This study tests the channeling hypothesis, which argues that parental influences are mediated through both peer selection and congregation selection. It examines both direct and indirect effects that parental influence has on the re…

The Association between Religiosity and the Purpose-in-Life Test: Does it Reflect Purpose or Satisfaction
There has been both theory and research to suggest that conservative religiosity is associated with a sense of life purpose. Much of this research has utilized the Purpose-in-Life (PIL) test. There has been some debate, however, regarding the homogeneity of this measure. The present study found that the PIL test consists of two factors, one reflecting life purpose and another reflecting life satisfaction. Conservative religiosity was associated w…
Loneliness and Religiosity: In the World but Not of It
This study examined the relationship between loneliness and religiosity as well as the relationships between religiosity and variables associated with loneliness (e.g., the potential antecedents of loneliness and the nature of the loneliness experience). The sample consisted of 76 conservative believers, 80 nonconservative believers and 76 nonbelievers. These groups were defined by a measure of belief commitment and a second measure of how subjec…

The Intergenerational Transmission of Loneliness: A Study of College Females and Their Parents
The purpose of this study was to examine the intergenerational transmission of loneliness. Data were collected via questionnaires from 130 parent-daughter triads. Consistent with a lineage transmission perspective, mothers' and daughters' loneliness scores were significantly correlated, r(128) = .26, p < .01. Child-rearing practices, especially a lack of positive involvement of parents with their children, were associated with the loneliness of o…

In one of the early classic articles on loneliness, Zilboorg (1938) claimed that lonely individuals are hostile and aggressive. The present research tested this proposition.

Social Influences on Women's Pursuit of a Nontraditional Career
Three hypotheses were derived from our basic premise that, among women, social factors are crucial in the choice of a high status, non traditional career: (1) Women applying to nontraditional careers should have lower affiliative needs than women applying to traditional careers. (2) As compared with women entering a traditional field, women entering a nontraditional field (a) will consider being married and having children less important, and (b)…

Gender Differences in Loneliness
Earlier studies on gender differences in loneliness appear to have produced contradictory results. However, when 39 existing data sets were classified according to whether they used the UCLA scale (N = 28) or a self-labeling measure (N = II) of loneliness, the results revealed a clear pattern. Statistically significant sex differences are not usually found with the UCLA scale, but, when they are found, males typically have higher loneliness score…
