Contemporary work characteristics, stress, and ill health
This study investigates the relationship between work and ill health resulting from stressors originating in the work environment. The association between work and health has been well‐documented. Factors in the work environment leading to ill health have included generalized psychological stress and/or specific physical environmental characteristics. Data for this study come from a 1998 telephone survey, the Indiana Survey of Work in a Polarized…
Are all grandmothers equal? A review and a preliminary test of the “grandmother hypothesis” in Tokugawa Japan
An unresolved question arising from human evolutionary research relates to the function of the postreproductive period in human females. If menopause is not merely an artifact resulting from the benefits of civilization, there must be an adaptive mechanism favoring the offspring of women who continue to thrive well past the time of their last ovulation. The “grandmother hypothesis” was developed on the basis of the original suggestion by Williams…
Loyalty to Whom? Workplace Participation and the Development of Consent
Heightened worker autonomy and participation characterize emerging workplace relations in the 1990s. Some analysts fear that, while such relations may make the workplace more hospitable for workers, they may also undermine workers' solidarity and unity. We investigate this thesis using a telephone survey of a random sample of employed persons from a Midwestern state. Participation increases rather than decreases worker solidarity and it is a more…
Effect of prenatal testosterone administration on palmar dermatoglyphic intercore ridge counts of rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )
Dermatoglyphic ridge counts of the prints of 59 rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta ) whose mothers had been treated with injections of testosterone during their pregnancies were studied to determine the effect of the day the hormone began to be administered, the amount of hormone administered, and the number of days of hormone administration upon the dermatoglyphic variation of the offspring. Of the three hormone variables, only the day of beginning…
Dermatoglyphic asymmetry and testosterone levels in normal males
Dermatoglyphic prints and salivary samples were taken on a sample of 39 adult males. A statistical relationship between dermatoglyphic asymmetry and adult testosterone levels as measured in saliva was examined for seven dermatoglyphic variables by means of correlation, regression, and analysis of covariance, controlling for age and stature when necessary. The first two types of analyses indicated a significant effect of testosterone level upon th…
Is Worker Solidarity Undermined by Autonomy and Participation? Patterns from the Ethnographic Literature
Solidarity is workers' chief protection against abusive management as well as a mediating factor against the ravages of meaningless work. Researchers interested in workers' well-being have suggested that increased worker autonomy and participation in the labor process may undermine worker solidarity. Available answers to this question have been difficult to confirm because of the nature of the data required. Ethnographic methods are able to probe…
Dermatoglyphics and anthropometric relationships within the Iñupiat (Eskimo) hand
On the basis of earlier findings with Easter Islanders suggesting a positive correlation between dermatoglyphic variables and hand anthropometric measurements, the present study was designed to determine if such a relationship could be generalized to another population, namely, Iñupiat (Eskimo). Since some dermatoglyphic and anthropometric variables were available for both sides of the body, the extension of this study to explore the question of …
Palmar dermatoglyphics of dyslexia
Palmar dermatoglyphic prints were taken of 261 dyslexics (173 males and 88 females) and compared against those of 707 controls (372 males and 335 females). Dyslexics of both sexes were found to exhibit greater complexity in terms of ridge count and pattern location than controls, particularly on the left hand. Specifically, both male and female dyslexics exhibited higher left a‐b counts, wider atd angles on both palms, and higher frequencies of p…
