Gender Differences in Receptivity to Sexual Offers

Abstract

Recent research on both the concept of illusion of fertility control and infant-mother attachment theory have provided insight into the nature of people's sexual behavior. The present investigation examined the influence of both (a) illusion of fertility control and (b) attachment tendencies on contraceptive behavior. The participants were undergraduates at a small Midwestern university who received partial course credit for participation. Multiple regression analyses revealed that illusion of fertility control and attachment style were related to contraception. Two subscales of the IFCS were related to contraception. More specifically, a belief in bodily control was associated with less effective current contraceptive use. In addition, females who felt more independence from their partners in making sexual decisions were characterized by a higher contraceptive failure rate. Other results indicated that individuals with a dismissing attachment style reported a history of less reliable contraception.

救赎还是异化:光棍节的休闲学批判

光棍节经历了从小众节日到大众节日的演变,成为单身群体基于缓解压力、寻求认同、表达个性等动机而发起的一场集体休闲运动,是青年休闲文化的体现。光棍节异化的根本原因,在于现代休闲的特殊矛盾,表现为休闲的经济属性和文化属性由互为助推,演变为前者对后者的入侵和殖民。作为休闲运动的光棍节是现代人的生存焦虑和休闲需求在单身亚文化领域的投射,应重回光棍节休闲的本真,回到精祌文化层面上来才能对抗这一异化的逻辑。

Fighting Social Problems with Information

ABSTRACT

Computer technology enables communities to synthesize large, complex, and disparate datasets into a centralized database. Such integration can provide a community with essential information on rates, trends, and risk factors associated with a particular social problem. This article will discuss the development and implementation of the Violence Information Network, a community database devoted to the surveillance of violence and its related factors. The VIN development is presented as a prototype on which communities can design information databases tailored to their specific needs. The challenges encountered during development are discussed. Future directions for the VIN are also highlighted.
