This study addressed health disparities in sleep duration, sleep quality, and daytime sleepiness among African-American college students.

These students engaged in many activities during the evening, and these activities predicted unhealthy sleep. Whereas electronic …

Overall, there were 19 students who contributed a total of 217 conversational …

This paper presents the globalization of elite single professional women (SPW) as the first new global sociological phenomenon of the twenty-first century. We trace the economic roots of the phenomenon and how female empowerment interacts with the psychological prerequisites for mating. We then trace how the phenomenon is being expressed outside of the United States, in India, Poland, and Germany. We conclude by putting these observations into a historical perspective and briefly listing possible strategies for responding, adapting, and maximizing one’s options.
