The Relationship

We investigate whether inequality in wealth distribution is broadly associated with adverse socioeconomic outcomes across countries. There are few studies that investigate these relationships, likely due to data limitations. On the other hand, a substantial body of work suggests that income inequality correlates with undesirable outcomes. This paper evaluates the relationship between measures of wealth inequality and a number of outcomes across countries in a unified estimation framework that circumvents publication bias. While we fail to find support for a broad negative association, we do find a negative correlation between wealth inequality and institutional quality.

Distribution Trends

Thomas Piketty’s evidence on wealth distribution trends in Capital in the Twenty-First Century shows that – contra his own interpretation – there has been little rise in wealth inequality in Europe and America since the 1970s. This article relates that finding to the other principal trends in Piketty’s analysis: the capital/national income ratio trend, the capital-labor split of total incomes and the income inequality trend. Given that wealth inequality is not rising markedly, what can we deduce about the putative causes that might be operating upstream? Only the capital-labor split looks like a plausible explanation of the wealth inequality trend.

Abstract Data are presented correlating 22 determinations of the histamine content of blood in patients with chronic granulocytic leukemia with (1) the basophils (2) the other myeloid granulocytes. Expressing the histamine in each case on the basis of the amount in 108 granulocytes, there is a readily evident positive correlation with the basophil percentage and a negative correlation with the percentage of other myeloid elements. This is strikingly apparent in instances where blood with a very high percentage of basophils was analyzed. The data indicate that in chronic granulocytic leukemia, the basophil is predominantly and, perhaps exclusively, responsible for the marked elevations in blood histamine. Inferentially, it appears probable that this cell type, though small in numbers, may be the principal carrier of histamine in non-leukemic blood.

The Relationship

This review examines the relationship between a person’s social status and trust. Previous research has yielded differing results. On one hand, studies have repeatedly found positive correlations of different strengths between social status and trust; that is, persons with higher social status trust more than persons with lower social status. On the other hand, empirical evidence has also suggested a negative correlation between social status and trust; that is, persons with lower social status trust more than persons with higher social status. In addition to a systematic analysis of the various theoretical approaches and the respective study results, possible causes for these diverging empirical findings are discussed. With regard to the relationship between socioeconomic status and generalized trust, all studies reviewed show a positive correlation. Contradictory results can be found only in studies that investigated socioeconomic status and trust, measured as behavior. In addition to the different operationalizations of social status and trust, one potential cause for different results may be found in the fact that in experimental settings, the social status of the interaction partner is often known.

Agression among teenagers, including bullying, school gangsters, and even students criminality, has been an issue for years. On the other hand, teenagers are expected to adapt well in society, to make healthy social relations, in order to become healthy and responsible adults. These developmental task takes a capability to adapt and overcome problems in everyday life, which is defined as coping strategy. This study aims to investigate the relationship between coping strategy and agrressive behavior in teenagers using Coping Strategy Scale for Teenagers and Aggressive Behavior Scale. The subjects were 416 students of middle and high schools in Bantul, Yogyakarta. Data were analyzed using Product Moment correlation test. The result showed that there was a negative correlation between coping strategy and aggressive behavior in teenagers (r= -0,287; p<0,01). Teenagers who had better ability to cope with stressful events demonstrated less aggressive behavior.

Many people think that the highest intelligence among the other multiple intelligences is IQ intelligence. It's just that IQ intelligence is more often used in everyday life to get material, find solutions, and solve problems. The author assumes SQ is the intelligence of the highest intelligence among multiple intellegence where SQ is the inner intelligence of the mind and soul to build yourself into a whole person by always thinking positive in dealing with every incident that happened. Therefore, the authors assume that students who have spiritual intelligence will always be able to solve problems in education. The purpose of this study is as follows To know the nature of spiritual intelligence To know the essence of student achievement To know the relation of spiritual intelligence to student achievement. The method used is descriptive correlational method is to describe the relationship of one variable with another variable to find conclusions in the form of a comparison.  This method is used to take the results of a general picture of whether there is a positive or negative correlation

The chapter presents an integrated cross-national analysis of political personalization in all our twenty-six countries. The two indicators of personalization online stand apart in terms of the incidents of depersonalization. An examination of the relationship between the three dimensions finds personalization especially in the institutional realm. In the other two dimensions, media and behavior, most cases are of personalization, but many indicate no trend or depersonalization. A comparison by country illustrates that, except for the cases of extreme personalization in Italy and Israel and a few cases of depersonalization, especially in Switzerland, most countries experience moderate–low or low levels of personalization. Most explanations for variance are ruled out. A moderately negative correlation is found between national levels of self-expression and national levels of political personalization. The chapter ends with a review of the claims raised in the literature about the consequences of political personalization.

The chapter presents an empirical cross-national analysis of the relationship between the two processes of party change and political personalization. It demonstrates that there is indeed a moderate negative correlation between partyness and personalization when we focus on what happens off-line in the more veteran democracies. It also explains why, in some cases, partyness and personalization will not be in zero-sum relationships. It then turns to the question of the causal direction of this relationship: does party decline cause personalization, or is it the other way round? While it makes sense that the two should interact, our argument is that decline in partyness occurred first and was in fact one of the causes of personalization.

Internet addiction is a kind of consumer behavior that has attracted the attention of many studies. Loneliness is a frequently reported mental illness addicted to the internet. Lonely individuals may be drawn online because of the increased potential for companionship, the changed social interaction patterns online, and as a way to modulate negative moods associated with loneliness. This study examines the relationship between internet addiction and loneliness among albanian students of University of Shkodra and the gender differences to this aspect. The participants to the research were 151 students from 18-23 years old, who live in different places of North Albania. In order to trace the connection between loneliness and Internet addiction among students was used the self-administered questionnaires: Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and UCLA Loneliness Scale. The research has shown that there is a mild negative correlation between loneliness and Internet addiction, on the other hand no gender differences was found in terms of internet addiction and loneliness level. The results suggest that students addicted to the Internet have significantly lower rates of loneliness.

In archery, there is the relationship among stability of the archer, adjustments made during the aiming procedure, and the targeting coordination. Twelve specialists from the male archery team of National College of Physical Education and Sports took part in this research, with 12 arrows sets up at a distance of 70 m. A laser pen is located on the bow handle for capturing the trajectory of the aiming procedure with a digital video camera, and the other camera for the coordination of target. The Ariel Performance Analysis System motion analysis system is used to obtain the x and y aiming trajectory coordinates for analyzing the correlation. Results of this research were: (1) Ten archers whose variation of the x axis is larger than that of the y axis. (2) There are four archers whose aiming adjustment procedure has all the positive correlation with the target in the x axis, but there are three archers with all negative correlation. (3) In terms of the correlation in the y axis, there are six archers with all positive correlation, but there are two archers with all negative correlation.

This paper examines the relationship between monetary policy and wealth inequality in South Africa. We employed a unique database of tax administrative data which allowed us to account for individual heterogeneity. These tax data span from 2011 to 2017 and include over 3 million individual taxpayers in South Africa after data cleaning. Results based on fixed- and random-effects panel model estimates show that monetary policy generally increases wealth Gini inequality while it decreases the wealth 90–10 percentile differential. Increasing asset prices and gross domestic product per capita generally increases wealth inequality, while inflation reduces wealth inequality. The effect of age on wealth distribution varies depending on whether a fixed- or random-effects panel model is considered. Based on the estimates and observed data, being male tends to increase wealth inequality.
