Similarities And Differences

Among the Nso of Northwest Cameroon, the primary purpose of socialisation is the development of social intelligence and a sense of social responsibility. This process is dependent on and shaped more by "tacit lessions" built into children's apprenticeship in routine tasks and interpersonal encounters with both peers and adults than on role instruction. Nso children are co-participants in their own "hands-on" socialisation. The traditional niche is now in total flux. In order to compare the ideas and values of different parental cohorts inherent in the tension of continuity and change, we interviewed 389 Nso men and women using the Lamnso Parent Interview Guide. The results revealed both similarities and differences in the values of various parental cohorts. Although traditional values were widely endorsed, mothers, parents, and urban respondents tended to manifest less indigenous viewpoints than fathers, grandparents, and rural subjects, perhaps because of their greater exposure to alien modifiers of cultural knowledge and values.

Similarities And Differences

This study raises the issue of the stereotype «man» in the group consciousness of Chinese native speakers. Such methods as questionnaire, comparison, and semantic analysis were used. Semantic analysis enabled to determine four semantic zones: nucleus, pre-nuclear, closest peripheral, and distant peripheral ones. As a result, similarities and differences were obtained in the stereotype «man» in the linguistic consciousness of men and women. The influence of the sociopsychological factor «gender» on the stereotype «man» was revealed.

Age And Sex

Although it is widely believed that emotions vary with age, there is a dearth of information on emotional experiences in later adulthood. Several researchers think that older adults experience less emotional intensity than younger people while others have suggested that aging is accompanied by a decrease in positive affect and an increase in negative emotions. Sex similarities and differences in emotionality have also been documented. This study focuses on age and sex similarities and differences in emotional control. Three hundred and twenty seven men and women aged 19 to 92 years were administered two emotion measures. The results support previous research which suggests that the control of emotions increases with age. In evaluating sex differences in emotional control, women scored as more emotionally expressive than men, a finding which is consistent with previous research. Results are discussed in relation to socioemotional selectivity theory.

Similarities And Differences

ABSTRACT An extensive review of the use of non-human primates in contraceptive research was compiled in December 1971. An effort has been made to update certain topics from that symposium, specifically (1) similarities and differences between humans and other primates with respect to gametogenesis and gamete transport, implantation and ovum development, sexual cycles and sexual behaviour; (2) metabolism of steroids in nonhuman primates; (3) certain metabolic effects of steroids in non-human primates, canines, and humans; and, (4) the relevance of certain aspects of toxicity, such as tumorigenesis, when studied in non-human primates and other species.

Bone quality is a critical factor that, along with bone quantity, determines bone strength. Image-based parameters are used for assessing bone quality non-invasively. The trabecular bone score (TBS) is used to assess quality of trabecular bone and femur geometry for cortical bone. Little is known about the associations between these two bone quality parameters and whether they show differences in the relationships with age and body mass index (BMI). We investigated the associations between the trabecular bone score (TBS) and femur cortical geometry. Areal bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the TBS was assessed using iNsight software and, femur geometry using APEX (Hologic). A total of 452 men and 517 women aged 50 years and older with no medical history of a condition affecting bone metabolism were included. Z-scores for TBS and cortical thickness were calculated using the age-specific mean and SD for each parameter. A ‘discrepancy group’ was defined as patients whose absolute Z-score difference between TBS and cortical thickness was > 1 point. TBS and cortical thickness correlated negatively with age both in men and women, but the associations were stronger in women. Regarding the associations with BMI, TBS provided significant negative correlation with BMI in the range of BMI > 25 kg/m2. By contrast, cortical thickness correlated positively with BMI for all BMI ranges. These bone quality-related parameters, TBS and cortical thickness, significantly correlated, but discordance between these two parameters was observed in about one-third of the men and women (32.7% and 33.4%, respectively). Conclusively, image-based bone quality parameters for trabecular and cortical bone exhibit both similarities and differences in terms of their associations with age and BMI. These different profiles in TBS and FN cortical thickness might results in different risk profiles for the vertebral fractures or hip fractures in a certain percentage of people.
