The Impact

Little is known about the influence strategies that young heterosexual adults use to persuade a new sexual partner to use or avoid the use of condoms. College students' ( N = 393) opinions about and experiences with six condom power strategies were examined. Overall, students gender-typed the strategies as “feminine” when the goal was to persuade a partner to use condoms and as “masculine” when trying to avoid condom use. Effectiveness and comfort ratings of the strategies varied both by students' gender and the particular tactic being evaluated. Gender differences also emerged in students' actual experiences with the strategies. When trying to encourage condom use, men utilized seduction most often; whereas, withholding sex was the most popular tactic used by women. For avoiding condom use, men were more likely than women to employ seduction, reward, and information. Implications for understanding the impact of gender and social influence in the domain of condom use are discussed.

Abstract. This study set out to explore the relationship between beliefs about intelligence (BAI) ( Dweck, 1999 ), estimates of self- and other- (specifically mother’s, father’s, and closest friend’s) intelligence ( Furnham, 2001 ), and confidence in the acquisition of skills (CAS), in a sample of 266 British college students (194 females). As in previous studies, there were significant gender differences in self-assessed intelligence (SAI), such that males estimated their ability higher than did females. There was also a significant correlation between BAI and CAS, such that individuals who believed that intelligence may increase over time (incremental theorists) were generally more confident with regard to the acquisition of novel skills. Results are discussed in light of the potential theoretical links between perceived abilities and the development of future skills.

Practical Implications

We examined the relationships among savoring, positive life events, and hopelessness depression. Participants comprised 266 Chinese undergraduate college students who filled out 3 measures to assess savoring, positive life events, and hopelessness depression. Results showed that savoring was negatively correlated with hopelessness depression and positively correlated with positive life events, and that savoring significantly moderated the relationship between positive life events and hopelessness depression. These findings indicate that savoring is a protective factor for hopelessness depression. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
