First Sexual Intercourse

Social exchange theory has great potential to help our understanding of dating partners’ sexual interaction. Yet, to our knowledge, there is still no empirical study applying this theory to explain sexual coercion in the context of intimate relationships. This study examined the relationship between male partners’ social exchange variables (investment and alternatives) and women’s coerced first sexual intercourse in dating relationships, within both gender samples (not dyadic data). A total of 927 valid questionnaires were collected by purposive snowball sampling in five main cities in China of college students who were currently in a romantic relationship. Results showed that in the male sample, male partners’ investment significantly and positively correlated with emotional manipulation coercive tactics, and their alternatives significantly and positively predicted defection threats as coercive tactics. In the female sample, there were no such observations. The research hypotheses of this study have been partially supported, and its implications and limitations are discussed.

First Sexual Intercourse

Attachment theory has great potential to help our understanding of the apparent contradiction between violence and intimacy. Yet very few studies applied this theory to explain or predict sexual coercion in the context of intimate relationships. This study examined the relation between male partners’ attachment styles and women’s coerced first sexual intercourse in dating relationships. There were 927 valid questionnaires collected by purposive snowball sampling in five main cities in China to college students who were currently in a romantic relationship. Results showed that in both male and female samples, male partners’ anxious attachment style were significantly and positively predicted emotional manipulation coercive tactics. In the female sample, male partners’ two attachment styles (anxious and avoidant) positively predicted violence threat tactics, and male partners’ avoidant attachment style positively predicted defection threat tactics. The research hypothesis of this study has been successfully supported, and implications and limitations were discussed.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana kesamaan pengalaman beberapa individu pada fase tumbuh dewasa (emerging adulthood) dalam penghargaan dan pengorbanan di hubungan asmara mereka dan bagaimana mereka mengkomunikasikan penghargaan dan pengorbanan tersebut. Penelitian kualitatif fenomenologi ini menggunakan paradigma konstruktivis. Partisipan ditentukan menggunakan teknik sampel bertujuan. Partisipan yang dipilih adalah tiga pasangan yang berada dalam hubungan asmara berusia 18-25 tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penghargaan yang diterima partisipan, yaitu bimbingan, pendampingan, penghiburan, perhatian, kejutan, pengertian, penyelesaian masalah, teman bicara, dan penerimaan dari orang tua. Sementara, pengorbanan yang dialami partisipan, yaitu kecemburuan, pengertian, pertengkaran, kecemasan, waktu, keegoisan pasangan, keterpurukan dan kemalasan, dan sakit hati. Partisipan mengkomunikasikan penghargaan yang diinginkan dengan berterus terang dan ada pula yang menggunakan tindak tutur (speech act) ilokusioner, sedangkan pengorbanan dikomunikasikan dengan 1) saling mengatakan secara terus terang, 2) saling memendam dan mendiamkan pasangan hingga pasangannya menyadari hal itu dan bertanya penyebabnya, atau 3) mencoba meredamnya sendiri terlebih dahulu baru mengatakannya bila diperlukan.  </p><p><strong>Kata kunci: penghargaan, pengorbanan, hubungan asmara,</strong></p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong><em>.

Researcher selected three couples who are in a romantic relationship with six individuals in total, aged 18-25 (emerging adulthood), not married, university student/university graduate, and have experienced rewards and costs in romantic relationship. The results showed that the rewards received by participants are guidance, companion, consolation, attention, surprise, understanding, problem solving, friend to talk, and acceptance from parents. Meanwhile, the costs experienced by participants are jealousy, understanding, quarrel, worry, time, partner’s selfishness, miserable and laziness, and hurt. Participants communicate the rewards by being straightforward and the others using an illocutionary speech act whereas they communicate costs by 1) being straightforward, 2) being in silence until the partner realizes it and asks the cause, or 3) try to calm it theirself first and then say it when necessary.</em></p><strong><em>Keywords: rewards, costs, social exchange, romantic relationship</em></strong>

This study investigated the factors predicting knowledge sharing among architects in architectural firms in Ibadan metropolis, southwestern Nigeria. The study provided insight into the validity of social exchange theory, social capital theory and technological factors for studying and explaining knowledge sharing among professional architects in architectural firms. Survey research design was adopted for the study. A field survey of 104 architects was carried out using a questionnaire for data collection. Convenience and snowball sampling techniques were used to select the respondents for the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression. Findings revealed that significant predictors of knowledge sharing were enjoyment in helping others, social interaction, social identification, shared language/vision and loss of knowledge power. The level of information and communication technology (ICT) usage was also found to significantly predict knowledge sharing among architects. However, the results indicated that organisational rewards and trust do not significantly predict knowledge sharing among architects. The results also showed that loss of knowledge power negatively affected knowledge sharing, suggesting a tendency to hoard knowledge. Based on these research findings, recommendations were therefore made.

In 1995, the Latina adolescent birth rate surpassed that of African Americans for the first time. This article investigates cultural and social factors affecting the initiation of sexual intercourse among Latina adolescent mothers in Los Angeles. The data are from life history interviews with forty young mothers and their partners conducted in 1994 to 1997. Results suggest that sexual intercourse is initiated within the context of the couple's developing relationship, and that the course of relationships is highly scripted. Men pressure for sex and women resist. Women should be ignorant about sex, but control access to intercourse. Sex is never discussed. Thus, it is unexpected, and contraception other than withdrawal is not used. This script places young Latinas at enormous risk for pregnancy and STDs.

Supervisor Trust

We utilized social exchange theory to examine the effects that supervisor developmental feedback has on employee loyalty toward the supervisor. The 337 participants for our study were recruited from a large manufacturing enterprise in Hunan, China. Using hierarchical linear regression analysis, we found that supervisor developmental feedback was positively related to both trust in, and employee loyalty toward, the supervisor. Trust was not only positively associated with employee loyalty toward the supervisor but also partially mediated the relationship between supervisor developmental feedback and employee loyalty toward the supervisor. Further, interactional justice moderated the positive relationship between supervisor developmental feedback and employee trust of the supervisor, such that the strength of this relationship was enhanced as interactional justice increased. Managerial implications and directions for further research are discussed.
