The Long Reach Of Nurturing Family Environments: Links With Midlife Emotion- Regulatory Styles And Late-Life Security In Intimate Relationships, Waldinger J. Robert, Schulz S. Marc
The Long Reach Of Nurturing Family Environments: Links With Midlife Emotion- Regulatory Styles And Late-Life Security In Intimate Relationships, Waldinger J. Robert, Schulz S. Marc

Does the warmth of children’s family environments predict the quality of their intimate relationships at the other end of the life span? Using data collected prospectively on 81 men from adolescence through the eighth and ninth decades of life, this study tested the hypotheses that warmer relationships with parents in childhood predict greater security of attachment to intimate partners in late life, and that this link is mediated in part by the degree to which individuals in midlife rely on emotion-regulatory styles that facilitate or inhibit close relationship connections. Findings supported this mediational model, showing a positive link between more …

Inter-individual variability in metrics of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) activity, such asthe slope of the diurnal decline in cortisol, cortisol awakening response (CAR), and total cortisol out-put, have been found to associate inversely with trait ratings of extraversion and positive affect (E/PA)and positively with neuroticism and negative affect (N/NA) in some, but not all, investigations. Theseinconsistencies may partly reflect varied intensity of cortisol sampling among studies and reliance onself-rated traits, which are subject to reporting biases and limitations of introspection. Here, we furtherexamined dispositional correlates of HPA activity in 490 healthy, employed midlife volunteers (M age = 43years; 54% Female; 86% white). …

The controls of thirst and sodium appetite are mediated in part by the hormones aldosterone and angiotensin II (AngII). The present study examined the behavioral and neural mechanisms of altered effort-value in animals treated with systemic mineralocorticoids, intracerebroventricular AngII, or both. First,rats treated with mineralocorticoid and AngII were tested in the progressive ratio operant task. The willingness to work for sodium versus waterdepended on hormonal treatment. In particular, rats treated with both mineralocorticoid and AngII preferentially worked for access to sodium versus water compared with rats given only one of these hormones. Second, components of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway were …
Socioeconomic Status And Parenting Priorities: Child Independence And Obedience Around The World, Heejung Park, Anna S. Lau
Socioeconomic Status And Parenting Priorities: Child Independence And Obedience Around The World, Heejung Park, Anna S. Lau

This study investigated the extent to which national and personal socioeconomic status shapes national norms and parenting priorities concerning child socialization. Data came from European Values Survey, World Values Survey, and World Bank Data Catalog, resulting in 227,431 parents from 90 nations across fives study waves (1981-2008). At nation-level, child independence was more popular in nations with greater wealth and higher percentage of educated populations; obedience was more popular in nations with less wealth and lower percentages of educated and urban populations. At person-level, personal socioeconomic status rather than national socioeconomic characteristics predicted individual parents’ prioritization of child independence and …

Objective: Unfair treatment may have a detrimental effect on cardiovascular health. However, little research on chronic health outcomes employs cumulative measures of unfair treatment. We tested whether cumulative unfair treatment was associated with greater subclinical cardiovascular disease in a diverse sample of African American, Caucasian, Chinese, and Hispanic women. We also examined whether this relationship varied by race. Method: The Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation is a longitudinal study of midlife women. Cumulative unfair treatment was calculated as the average of unfair treatment assessed over 10 years at 6 time points. Subclinical cardiovascular disease, specifically carotid intima media …
