Effects of Mobile Robot Passing-Motion Path Curvature on Human Affective States in a Hallway Environment
For social robots to move in ways that are socially desirable to the people that they encounter, it is necessary to understand the types of robot motions that people find more or less appealing. An experiment was conducted in which participants ( $$N=20$$ N = 20 ) encountered a mobile robot in a virtual reality hallway environment. The robot passed them following trajectories shaped like cubic Bezier curves. The sharpness of curvature of the robo…
“It's Not What You Say …”
BACKGROUND: Excellent communication between surgeons and patients is critical to helping patients to make informed decisions and is a key component of both high quality of care and patient satisfaction. Understanding racial disparities in communication is essential to provide quality care to all patients. OBJECTIVE: To examine the content and process of informed decision-making (IDM) between orthopedic surgeons and elderly white versus African Am…
The voyage of the bagel
My first job, from the mid-1950s, was at the University of Chicago, cradle of the social sciences, the Great Books program, the Bulletin of the Atomic Sciences, many Nobel Prizes, and the Latke-Hamantasch Debates. The Debates were the brainchild of the legendary Maurice Pekarsky, director of the Hillel Foundation, who sought to rekindle identity among Jewish students and faculty, to promote ecumenical dialog on campus, but also to provide relief …
The Use of Health Service Areas for Measuring Provider Availability
Measurement of the availability of health care providers in a geographic area is a useful component in assessing access to health care.One of the problems associated with the county provider-to-population ratio as a measure of availability is that patients frequently travel outside their counties of residence for health care, especially those residing in nonmetropolitan counties.Thus, in measuring the number of providers per capita, it is importa…

Implications of Health Status in Analysis of Risk in Older Persons
This article explores the hypothesis that health status in old age acts as a summary measure of health exposures over time and, as such, plays a central role as a determinant of survival and morbidity trajectories in old age. Evidence is presented for the utility of health status as a modifier of risk in other areas of gerontologic research, and an example of modification pertinent to the cholesterol-heart disease controversy in old age is presen…
National Trends in Educational Differentials in Mortality
The authors examined national changes in socioeconomic differentials in mortality for middle-aged and older white men and women in the United States with the use of 1960 data from the Matched Records Study and 1971-1984 data from the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (NHEFS). In 1960, there was little difference in mortality by educational level among middle-aged and older men. Since 1…
Longitudinal study of physical ability in the oldest-old
Based on 1984 data from the Longitudinal Study on Aging, one-third of White persons aged 80 or older living in the community (N = 1,791) were defined as having no difficulty in walking 1/4 of a mile, in lifting 10 pounds, in climbing 10 steps without resting, or in stooping, crouching or kneeling. Physical ability was associated with lower risk of death over two years mean follow-up; Relative odds (RO) = .4 (95 percent confidence interval = .4, .…
Changing Practice in the Surgical Treatment of Breast Cancer
This study documents changes in surgical treatment of breast cancer using data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. All discharge records for women aged 25 years and older who received a mastectomy and had a diagnosis of breast cancer were selected for analysis. The proportion of such women discharged who received a radical mastectomy declined precipitously from 49% in 1972-1974 to 14% in 1978-1980. The proportion of women discharged who …
The effects of changes in smoking habits on coronary heart disease mortality
Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality declined by about 20 per cent between 1965 and 1976. During the same period there were substantial decreases in the proportion of adults who smoked based on data from the National Health Interview Survey (HIS). This study examines the extent to which changes in smoking can account for the decrease in CHD mortality for men and women aged 35-64 years. By applying US smoking levels (estimated from HIS) to data …
Continuing Trends in Health and Health Care
Current trends in health and health care that were identified in Social Indicators, 1976 are discussed, including the recent and, in some cases, dramatic declines in mortality, increases in health expenditures, increases in health resources, and changes in health habits. These trends are compared with strikingly similar trends identified almost a half a century ago by The Research Committee on Social Trends established by President Hoover. The si…
Distribution of Illnesses and Its Implications in a Rural Community
This study is a continuation of a series of reports on the utilization of health care services in a southern rural community. In this investigation the distribution of the utilization of medical care services is assessed with respect to reported illnesses and related disabilities. It is found that whites report significantly more illnesses, disabilities and physicians visits than blacks. Furthermore, even when controlling for disability and illne…
Measuring the Quality of Medical Care
We outline the implementation of a new method of measuring the quality of medical care that counts cases of unnecessary disease and disability and unnecessary untimely deaths. First of all, conditions are listed in which the occurrence of a single case of disease or disability or a single untimely death would justify asking, "Why did it happen?" Secondly, we have selected conditions in which critical increases in rates of disease, disability, or …
Access to Health Care in a Southern Rural Community
This case study of utilization of health care services in a rural southern community is the first of a series of reports dealing with access to care in this community. The most striking findings were the low utilization of physician and dental services compared with national standards (particularly by the black population) and the infrequent use of private physicians by blacks. Possible explanations for these findings are the short time interval …

Physician Productivity in the Delivery of Ambulatory Care
The delegation of ambulatory patient care tasks by pediatricians is directly related to the types and numbers of health workers per doctor employed in solo and two-man practice settings. Physician productivity rate is directly related to patient care task delegation in settings of all sizes. Larger size settings, especially multispecialty groups, compare unfavorably with those solo and small specialty group settings which employ two or more healt…

weight problems and of weight control efforts in the United States. It explores factors that may influence people to engage in weight control behavior in the first place and to choose dieting over other methods of reducing. It advances explanations to account for differences in the prevalence of dieting phenomena among various age and sex groups. Finally, it suggests several ways of improving the effectiveness and coverage of weight control progr…

The Assassination of President Kennedy
No one yet knows how profoundly the assassination of President Kennedy altered the future course of history, but it certainly was an extremely significant event internationally as well as domestically. Its immediate effects on the American people are also of considerable importance, reflecting as they do the attitudes of the people toward their President and the emotional reactions to such an assassination. They are also important as a demonstrat…

Interviewing in Social Research
A Field Study of Interviewer Effects on the Quality of Survey Data
A 1949 Denver community survey on civic problems and voting habits had two hidden primary purposes: to measure the truthfulness of respondents' answers to questions of fact, and to ascertain the differences in results on a wide range of questions obtained by interviewers of known characteristics. The present article, the second in a series, examines the results of the survey in terms of the latter of these two purposes
