By using actor–partner interdependence modeling (APIM), we examined the effects of the Dark Triad traits, psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism on two mate retention (MR) domains, cost-inflicting (C-I B) and benefit-provisioning behaviors (B-P B) as well as overall mate retention (OMR) on the sample of 100 heterosexual romantic couples. These effects were examined first without and then with the control of the overlap between the traits. The results show that actor effects of the Dark Triad traits on MR were stronger in men, and regarding partner effects, the Dark Triad traits in men exerted more frequent MR in women than women’s Dark Triad traits in men. In line with our prediction, psychopathy had the strongest actor and partner effects on MR behaviors, both in men and women. Considering MR domains, we found actor effects on C-I B only in men, whereas actor effects on B-P B in both men and women. The Dark Triad traits, especially in men, exerted stronger partner effects on C-I B than on B-P B domain. Almost all actor and partner effects of psychopathy and narcissism remained significant after the control for the overlap between the traits, whereas all actor effects of Machiavellianism became nonsignificant. In both sets of analyses, without and with the control for the overlap between these traits, the most frequent plausible dyadic patterns were actor-only and couple pattern.

Poverty is disproportionately experienced among men and women. Gender plays a significant role when examining the effects and problems that poverty poses. While poverty can be experienced in differing extremes, it is women who suffer higher poverty rates in almost all societies (Christopher et al.). It is people with disabilities, recent immigrants, and racialized men and women who face additional disadvantages and “all of these groups have extremely high rates of low income and, in all of them, women are the most vulnerable” (Townson). In this paper I discuss how the ‘feminization of poverty’ has created a situation where the number of women in poverty far outnumbers that of men, and how the discourse of feminized poverty is directly affected by the processes and structures of social exclusion. I argue that gender significantly influences the experience and response to urban poverty in Canada through unequal caregiving responsibilities, the dynamics that surround pay inequality, and inadequate government programs.

52 women and 38 men completed the Inventory of Health Status, Version 2, a measure of somatic health, and the Cornell Medical Index which provided separate scores for somatic and emotional health. The Personal Style Inventory was given, from which measures of Social Desirability and Negative Affectivity were utilized. Multiple regressions were done separately with scores on the Inventory of Health Status and the Cornell Emotional component, and scores on Social Desirability, Negative Affectivity, and sex as predictors. Scores on Social Desirability and Negative Affectivity were forced into the equation first. For the Inventory of Health Status, sex alone contributed significantly to the final equation. For scores on the Cornell Index's emotional component both sex and scores on negative affectivity had significant beta weights. Analysis of items from the Inventory of Health Status was done to examine the role of symptoms pertaining to women's reproductive system, and almost all the items that differed by sex were either clearly or possibly specific female reproductive items, e.g., “Abnormal menstruation.” Similar analyses were not possible for the organic component of the Cornell Index, which has different items for reproductive systems of men and women. The complexity of the female reproductive system may play a central role in sex differences in symptom reporting and perhaps of emotional distress, but other interpretations are discussed.

Sugar relationships can be considered contemporary forms of transactional sex, that is, offering sexual services for material resources or other benefits. Considering the common age differences in these relationships, sugar relationships might be of relevance for older adults as well on the mating market. As a sequel to Birkás et al. (2020), in the present study, an attitude scale was developed to assess older women’s and men’s acceptance of sugar relationships. We also explored whether the acceptance of sugar relationships was associated with love styles, sociosexual orientation, sexual motivation, and certain socially aversive personality traits. In two online studies with a total number of 836 participants (N = 277 women and 559 men), the results showed that the Acceptance of Sugar Relationships in Older Men and Women Scale (ASR-OMWS) proved to be a reliable and conceptually valid measure of older individuals’ attitude toward sugar relationships. A more accepting attitude toward sugar relationships was found to be associated with more unrestricted sociosexuality, preference to engage in playful love relationships and more self-focused sexual motivation (study 1; N = 481, 167 women and 314 men), and with more pronounced Dark Triad and borderline traits (study 2; N = 355, 110 women and 245 men). Our findings are discussed in an evolutionary framework.

Initially called 'Mintonette', the sport of volleyball was designed in 1895 by William G Morgan, in Holyoke, Massachusetts at a YMCA. The modern volleyball is highly specialized in almost all the major skills of volleyball. It is a sport for young and old for men and women. The character of volleyball is altogether not quite the same as that of different games discipline. In order to find the effect of skill related training on skill performance among volleyball players. To find the skill performance the study is being framed. Total 40 students from YMCA College of physical education and Nandanam Arts and Science College, Chennai, has taken as samples for the study and 12 weeks of training have given for 5 days a week. With the help of various literatures for Skill related training the training is being framed. For Skill related variables the following Test were conducted- Russel Lange Volleyball Test for Serving Ability, Brady Volleyball Test for attacking ability, Helman Volleyball (forearm) Test for forearm/dig passing and Helman Volleyball (Face pass/overhead pass) Test. To compare the skill related performance of volleyball player’s independent t-test will be employed. The significance level will be set as p<0.05. For Experimental Design the static group comparison design was used for the study. To compare the selected skill related variables ANCOVA is being used at the significant level of 0.05. It is concluded that the effect of skill related training for volleyball players has improved the Attacking ability, serving ability, Forearm and Overhead passing ability significantly. It is concluded that the Experimental group was significantly improved than the control group.

O objetivo central do presente ensaio é abordar a Revolução de 1791, evento paradigmático da história haitiana, a partir das narrativas produzidas por alguns de seus intelectuais, que evidenciam o país que ali teve seu berço como lugar de enfrentamento e luta contra a escravidão, onde foi gestada e se disseminou a ideia de liberdade e independência para o restante da América colonizada. Justapondo as narrativas desses intelectuais e suas narrativas adversárias, forjadas no âmago do sistema colonial, esboçamos o modo como o Haiti revolucionário eclode como espaço simbólico de resistência contra todas as tentativas dos colonos – naquele momento, quase todos homens brancos - de impor a desumanização de seus colonizados – homens e mulheres negros/as –. Parece-nos, ao final, que esse espírito de não submissão, não adaptação e não aceitação da lógica e do modelo de dominação impostos será irremediavelmente associado a um “modo de ser haitiano”, um habitus infame, percebido ora como algo positivo e peculiar do povo haitiano, ora  como razão de uma suposta incapacidade de integrar-se ao progresso e ao desenvolvimento. De comum, as narrativas sobre a revolução apontam o Haiti como lugar de denúncia da barbárie imposta por um colonizador surpreendido na aberração de seu discurso civilizatório. Palavras-chave: revolução haitiana; intelectuais haitianos; Michel Roulph-Trouillot; colonialidade.Narrating Revolutions With Feet in Haiti: The Haitian Revolution by Michel-Rolph Trouillot and other Caribbean intellectualsAbstractThe main objective of this essay is to address the Revolution of 1791, a paradigmatic event in Haitian history, based on the narratives produced by some of its intellectuals, which show the country that had its cradle as a place of confrontation and struggle against slavery, where the idea of freedom and independence for the rest of colonized America spread. Juxtaposing the narratives of these intellectuals and their adversarial narratives, forged at the heart of the colonial system, we sketch out how revolutionary Haiti emerges as a symbolic space of resistance against all attempts by settlers - then almost all white men - to impose the dehumanization of their colonized - black men and women -. It seems to us in the end that this spirit of non-submission, non-adaptation and non-acceptance of the logic and model of domination imposed will inevitably be associated with a "Haitian way of being", an infamous habitus, perceived sometimes as something positive and peculiar of the Haitian people, others as the reason for a supposed inability to integrate with progress and development. In common, the narratives about the revolution point to Haiti as a place for denouncing barbarism imposed by a colonizer caught in the aberration of his civilizing discourse.Keywords: Haitian revolution; Haitian intellectuals; Michel Roulph-Trouillot; coloniality.Narrando Revoluciones con los Pies en Haití: La Revolución haitiana por Michel-Rolph Trouillot y otros intelectuales caribeñosResumenEl objetivo central del presente ensayo es abordar la Revolución de 1791, evento paradigmático de la historia haitiana, a partir de las narrativas producidas por algunos de sus intelectuales, que evidencian el país que allí tuvo su cuna como lugar de enfrentamiento y lucha contra la esclavitud, donde fue gestada y se diseminó la idea de libertad e independencia para el resto de América colonizada.
