Is Primacy of Primary Control Universal? Comparisons Between Ideal-Actual Levels of Control Strategies Among Youth and Emerging Adults Across Four Countries
Control strategies are cognitive, affective, and/or behavioral attempts to improve one’s status quo in social situations. A widely cited dichotomy classifies control strategies into two processes: primary and secondary control. Primary control refers to behaviors aimed at changing one’s external realities, whereas secondary control refers to people’s attempts to change themselves. Previous literature has provided conflicting views regarding the i…
Shifting attributions for poverty motivates opposition to inequality and enhances egalitarianism
Social class and prosocial behavior
One ring to rule them all
We interrogated historical continuity and change in discourses of enlightenment and racism through the analysis of 160 years of New Zealand Speeches from the Throne (1854–2014, 163 speeches). Enlightenment discourses of benevolence and perfectibility were prevalent in all periods, much more so than racism. ‘Old‐fashioned’ racism took the form of an assumed civilizational superiority (including accusations of ‘barbarism’) during colonization, with…
Japanese Control Strategies Regulated by Urgency and Interpersonal Harmony
People use control strategies to improve their physical as well as interpersonal situations. Previous research has maintained that Japanese, compared with North Americans, are more oriented toward secondary control (changing oneself) than primary control (changing one's circumstances). However, Heckhausen and Schulz's work suggests dominance of primary control over secondary control across cultures. The conflicting views regarding Japanese contro…
Distribution of haptoglobin, transferrin, and hemoglobin types among Indians of Middle America
Blood specimens from putatively pure Maya and Kekchi Indians in British Honduras; Bribri, Boruca, Cabécar and Térraba in Costa Rica; and San Blas Cuna, Chocó and Guaymi in Panama have been tested for haptoglobins, transferrins and hemoglobin types, and the phenotype incidences and frequencies of genes controlling these serum proteins have been reported. Hp 1 gene frequencies resemble generally those previously reported for Indians but the frequen…
