Interprets an empirical research project involving 190 pastoral counselors in terms of a set of homosexual and lesbian variables. Notes that pastoral counselors do not rate gay male and lesbian clients as significantly different from heterosexual male and female clients but do manifest significant differences between male and female clients. Observes that pastoral counselors' standards for healthy adult mental health tend to be that of a healthy adult male and that female clients are assessed either as healthy persons but as unhealthy women or as healthy women and as unhealthy persons. Concludes that the sex-role stereotyping revealed in the study discriminates against both men and women. Discusses pastoral implications in view of the research findings.

Abstract Healthy, adult male and female golden hamsters, 3 months of age, showed blood platelet count means of 688,000 ± 141,000 per cu. mm. and 742,000 ± 120,000 per cu. mm., respectively, when direct counts were made with siliconized pipets and with Rees and Ecker fluid as a diluent.

Similar Task

In two experiments 157 kindergarten and first-grade children were administered the Circles Subtest of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Boys and girls were given differential instructions to think of ideas typically thought of by members of the opposite sex. The contents of the children's ideas were analyzed and scored according to male- and female-dominant categories. Directions to generate ideas of the opposite sex inhibits performance, and considerable sex-role stereotyping of responses occurs at an early age. Without training on a similar task, however, boys appeared to be less able to follow directions and think of ideas typical of the opposite sex. Results are discussed in terms of the hypothesis that girls are more knowledgeable of the opposite sex-roles than are boys but are inhibited in the expression of this knowledge by cultural expectations.

As a result of increasing environmental temperature, use of air conditioner (AC) has become very popular specially in the urban areas mostly during warmer months of the year. Exposure to cold, dry air of AC on a regular basis can cause various alternations in lung functions of AC users which can lead to many future lung diseases. These alternations in lung functions can be influenced by the temperature at which AC is regulated. This cross-sectional study was conducted to observe the effects of air conditioner use and variation of AC temperature on peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) of apparently healthy adult male and female living in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. The study group (group A) consisted of 48 apparently healthy adult male and female who were exposed to air conditioner for at least 6 hours per day for minimum 5 days per week for the past 2 to 4 years. They were divided into two subgroups based on temperature at which AC was regulated. Group A1 consisted of 24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) who were exposed to AC for at least 6 hours per day for minimum 5 days per week for the past 2 to 4 years and where temperature of the AC was constantly regulated in between 18° C to 22°C. Group A2 consisted of 24 subjects (12 male and 12 female) who were exposed to AC for the same period of time but where AC was constantly regulated in between 23°C to 25°C. The control group (group B) consisted of similar number of age, gender, BMI and socioeconomically matched subjects who did not use air conditioner nearly at all. Actual, predicted and percentage of predicted value of PEFR were estimated in both the study and control group using Minato Autospiro AS-507. Statistical analysis was done by unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test and p value 0.05 was taken as level of significance. In this study mean actual and percentage (%) of predicted value of PEFR were significantly lower in AC users in comparison to nonusers in case of both male and female. Between two groups of AC users, mean actual and percentage of predicted value of PEFR were significantly lower in the group where AC temperature was constantly regulated in between 18°C to 22°C in comparison to the group where AC temperature was constantly regulated in between 23°C to 25°C. Use of AC can significantly reduce lung functions of AC users and lower AC temperature is associated with more reduction of PEFR in AC users.
