The Missing Side of Acculturation: How Majority-Group Members Relate to Immigrant and Minority-Group Cultures
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 30 Số 6 - Trang 485-494 - 2021
Jonas R. Kunst, Katharina Lefringhausen, David L. Sam, John W. Berry, John F. Dovidio
In many countries, individuals who have represented the majority group historically are decreasing in relative size and/or perceiving that they have diminished status and power compared with those self-identifying as immigrants or members of ethnic minority groups. These developments raise several salient and timely issues, including (a) how majority-group members’ cultural orientations c...... hiện toàn bộ
Social Support, Physiological Processes, and Health
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 145-148 - 1999
Bert N. Uchino, Darcy Uno, Julianne Holt‐Lunstad
Social relationships serve important functions in people's everyday lives. Epidemiological research indicates that supportive relationships may also significantly protect individuals from various causes of mortality, including cardiovascular disease. An important issue is how social support influences such long-term health outcomes. In this article, we review evidence indicating that soci...... hiện toàn bộ
The Psychology of Voluntary Employee Turnover
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 51-54 - 2007
Wendy S. Harman, Thomas Lee, Terence R. Mitchell, Will Felps, Bradley P. Owens
Most research on voluntary turnover has focused on dissatisfaction-induced and rational decisionmaking processes, with some attention paid to external market influences. This focus leaves unexplained a large portion of the variance in why people choose to quit a job. Recently, however, researchers are considering the alternative ways that the turnover process is enacted, as well as what b...... hiện toàn bộ
A Developmental-Science Perspective on Social Inequality
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 29 Số 6 - Trang 610-616 - 2020
Laura Elenbaas, Michael T. Rizzo, Melanie Killen
Many people believe in equality of opportunity but overlook and minimize the structural factors that shape social inequalities in the United States and around the world, such as systematic exclusion (e.g., educational, occupational) based on group membership (e.g., gender, race, socioeconomic status). As a result, social inequalities persist and place marginalized social groups at elevate...... hiện toàn bộ
Intelligence Predicts Health and Longevity, but Why?
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2004
Linda S. Gottfredson, Ian J. Deary
Large epidemiological studies of almost an entire population in Scotland have found that intelligence (as measured by an IQ-type test) in childhood predicts substantial differences in adult morbidity and mortality, including deaths from cancers and cardiovascular diseases. These relations remain significant after controlling for socioeconomic variables. One possible, partial explanation o...... hiện toàn bộ
All in the Family: Comparing Siblings to Test Causal Hypotheses Regarding Environmental Influences on Behavior
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 319-323 - 2010
Benjamin B. Lahey, Brian M. D’Onofrio
Psychologists in both basic and applied fields are keenly interested in the environmental influences that shape our lives. Therefore, researchers test causal hypotheses to construct models of environmental influences that can withstand attempts at refutation. Randomized experiments provide the strongest tests of causal hypotheses but are not always feasible, and their assumptions cannot a...... hiện toàn bộ
The Behavioral Immune System (and Why It Matters)
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 99-103 - 2011
Mark Schaller, Justin H. Park
Like many other animals, human beings engage in behavioral defenses against infectious pathogens. The behavioral immune system consists of a suite of psychological mechanisms that (a) detect cues connoting the presence of infectious pathogens in the immediate environment, (b) trigger disease-relevant emotional and cognitive responses, and thus (c) facilitate behavioral avoidance of pathog...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk Taking in Adolescence
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 55-59 - 2007
Laurence Steinberg
Trying to understand why adolescents and young adults take more risks than younger or older individuals do has challenged psychologists for decades. Adolescents' inclination to engage in risky behavior does not appear to be due to irrationality, delusions of invulnerability, or ignorance. This paper presents a perspective on adolescent risk taking grounded in developmental neuroscience. A...... hiện toàn bộ
What Do We Know About Gay and Lesbian Couples?
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 14 Số 5 - Trang 251-254 - 2005
Lawrence A. Kurdek
Research on gay and lesbian couples is highlighted with regard to household labor, conflict, satisfaction, perceived social support, stability, and the variables that predict relationship quality. Relative to partners from married heterosexual couples, partners from gay and lesbian couples tend to assign household labor more fairly, resolve conflict more constructively, experience similar...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of Size on Collision Perception and Implications for Perceptual Theory and Transportation Safety
Current Directions in Psychological Science - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 199-204 - 2013
Patricia R. DeLucia
People avoid collisions when they walk or drive, and they create collisions when they hit balls or tackle opponents. To do so, people rely on the perception of depth (perception of objects’ locations) and time-to-collision (perception of when a collision will occur), which are supported by different information sources. Depth cues, such as relative size, provide heuristics for relative de...... hiện toàn bộ
