The Death-Ego And The Vital Self: Romances Of Desire In Literature / Book Review, Barbara Schapiro
The Death-Ego And The Vital Self: Romances Of Desire In Literature / Book Review, Barbara Schapiro
Barbara A Schapiro
Psychoanalysis and literary romance share much in common: both are concerned with desire, with elusive objects of desire, and with the dark, hidden, and fantastic dimensions of the human imagination. Gavriel Reisner’s The Death-Ego and the Vital Self explores the interrelationship of psychoanalysis and literary romance with original and often illuminating results.
Menstrual Expressions And Menstrual Attitudes, Terence Hays
Menstrual Expressions And Menstrual Attitudes, Terence Hays
Terence Hays
Women's responses to a questionnaire survery in a Northeastern U.S. college community are examined to determine whether usage preferences in menstrual expressions are systematically related to reported attitudes towards menstruation. While those women who use expressions with negative connotations tend to report negative attitudes, the converse is not true. A striking contrast is noted between familiarity and use of menstrual expressions and, in general, menstrual expressions are not consistently associated with or reflective of menstrual attitudes.
Awareness Of Peers' Judgments Of Oneself, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright, Stan Scarpati
Awareness Of Peers' Judgments Of Oneself, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright, Stan Scarpati
Thomas E Malloy
This research focused on children's awareness of peers' social judgments of them, age differences in accuracy attained, and the process by which accuracy is achieved. Children were accurately aware of peers' perceptions of them on behavioral, social status, and ability dimensions in Grades 1 through 6. Older children were more accurate than younger children, yet even the youngest children were able to accurately infer peers' judgments of them. In terms of process, the best fitting model suggested that academic ability affects both self and others' (i.e., teacher and peers') perceptions, and that self-perception is the basis for predicting others' judgments …
Agreement In Personality Judgments Within And Between Nonoverlapping Social Groups In Collectivist Cultures, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright, Rolando Diaz-Loving, Qi Dong, Yueh-Ting Lee
Agreement In Personality Judgments Within And Between Nonoverlapping Social Groups In Collectivist Cultures, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright, Rolando Diaz-Loving, Qi Dong, Yueh-Ting Lee
Thomas E Malloy
The social context hypothesis states that people behave differently in different social groups because group norms and context-specific interpersonal relationships uniquely affect behavior. Consequently, a person who is a member of different, nonoverlapping social groups (i. e., the members of different groups are unacquainted) should be judged consensually on personality traits within each group; however, between groups there should be less agreement in judgments. This research focused on cultural moderation of the social context effect in two collective cultures (China and Mexico) with different norms for interpersonal relationships. Among Chinese, there was greater consensus in trait judgments within groups than …
Componential Analysis Of Interpersonal Perception Data, David Kenny, Linda Albright, Thomas Malloy, Tessa West
Componential Analysis Of Interpersonal Perception Data, David Kenny, Linda Albright, Thomas Malloy, Tessa West
Thomas E Malloy
We examine the advantages and disadvantages of 2 types of analyses used in interpersonal perception studies: componential and noncomponential. Componential analysis of interpersonal perception data (Kenny, 1994) partitions a judgment into components and then estimates the variances of and the correlations between these components. A noncomponential analysis uses raw scores to analyze interpersonal perception data. Three different research areas are investigated: consensus of perceptions across social contexts, reciprocity of attraction, and individual differences in self-enhancement. Finally, we consider criticisms of componential analysis. We conclude that interpersonal perception data necessarily have components (e.g., perceiver, target, measure, and their interactions), and that …
Multiple And Single Interaction Dyadic Research Designs, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright
Multiple And Single Interaction Dyadic Research Designs, Thomas Malloy, Linda Albright
Thomas E Malloy
During the last 2 decades, psychologists increasingly have studied human interaction in a social rather than in an asocial context. Although this ecological approach to the study of social interaction signifies the vitality of social psychology, the design and analysis of this research presents challenges that are not encountered in an asocial context. This article surveys a set of multiple interaction designs and associated analytic strategies that permit estimation of individual and dyadic phenomena. In addition, new analytic approaches to the hierarchically nested dyadic design (a special case of the multiple interaction design) that is used in studies of personal …

Multinational Corporate Penetration, Industrialism, Region, And Social Security Expenditures, Roger Clark, Rachel Filinson
Multinational Corporate Penetration, Industrialism, Region, And Social Security Expenditures, Roger Clark, Rachel Filinson
Rachel Filinson
This study examines the determinants of spending on social security programs. We draw predictions from industrialism and dependency theories, for the explanation of social security programs. The explanations are tested with data on seventy-five nations, representative of core, semiperipheral and peripheral nations. Industrialization variables such as the percentage of older adults and economic productivity have strong effects in models involving all nations, as does multinational corporate (MNC) penetration in extraction, particularily when region is controlled; such penetration is negatively associated with spending on social security. We then look at industrialism and dependency effects for peripheral and non-core nations alone. The …
