The Relationship

Relationships among information on aging, fear of aging, and involvement with older persons were examined in public rehabilitation facilities in Alabama. The variables were measured respectively by the Facts on Aging Quiz, a four-item fear index, and hours of involvement with persons age 60 and above. Demographic variables of age, sex, race, and educational status were also examined among the subjects. Pearson product-moment correlations and t-tests were used to test for significance of the relationships at the p < .01 level. Information and race were significantly related with more information indicated for white subjects, and age and involvement were significantly related with more hours reported for older subjects.

Relationships among information on aging, fear of aging, and involvement with older persons were examined in private rehabilitation facilities in Alabama. A questionnaire including the Facts on Aging Quiz, a fear index, and hours of involvement was used to assess the variables. The demographic variables of age, sex, race, and educational level of participants were also examined. Relationships among the three instrument variables and among the instrument and demographic variables were tested at the p .01 level by Pearson product moment correlations and attendant t-tests. The following relationships were found to be significant. Greater information was associated with being white, having less fear, and higher education. Greater involvement was associated with lower education and being nonwhite.

Risk management in campus recreational sports has been a consideration on the minds of campus recreational sport directors for over the past three decades. But are directors' concerns aligned with the litigation being decided in the courtroom? This study examined whether or not campus recreation directors were concerned about the same legal and risk management issues that appeared most frequently in published court decisions. A case law analysis revealed that 54 cases were related to campus recreation over the past 30 years. To determine risk perceptions of campus recreation directors, a Web survey identifying 34 risk issues was administered. The findings showed the relationship of perceptions of directors to published cases and the risk management formula, as well as differences in perceptions based on demographic variables. The results identified several opportunities for discussion and new areas for research.

This 1-year-long study investigated the use of isolation timeout as a behavioral control intervention in a special educational facility. Subjects were 156 students with emotional disturbance. The relationship of timeout to demographic variables was examined for a subsample of 73 students. Results indicate that 13,000 separate timeouts occurred over the academic year. Average time in isolation was 23 hr per student. Older students in more restrictive placements were found to spend significantly more time in isolation than were other groups, though much of this difference was due to voluntary timeouts. Alternatives to timeout as a behavior control measure are discussed.

The present study was undertaken to map the ground trends of depression and suicidal ideation among elderly Kashmiris in association with connected socio-demographic variables and also to find the relationship of depression with suicidal ideation. The sample consisted of 184 older adults (102 elderly males & 82 elderly females) taken from different districts of Kashmir. The age of the sample group ranged from 58-76 years with mean age of 67 years. Purposive sampling technique was used for research purpose. Aaron Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II 1996) and Beck & Steer’s Suicide Ideation scale (BSSI 1991) was used. T-test was used to test the significance of difference in depression and suicidal ideation between various groups and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was used to determine the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation. The findings of the present study revealed that there is no significant mean difference in the depression level of older adults with respect to various socio-demographic variables. Further, the findings of the present study reveal that there is significant mean difference in the suicidal ideation of educated and uneducated elderly as is true for rural and urban older adults. However, no significant mean difference was found in suicidal ideation of male & female older adults and also no significant mean difference was found in the suicidal ideation of those elderly whose spouse are alive and those who are widowed. Results further reveal that depression has significant positive correlation with suicidal ideation indicating that depression acts as risk factor for suicidal ideation.

Perceived Job Insecurity

Numerous literatures have shown that individuals who exhibit higher feelings of job insecurity are more likely to experience various health related challenges which might be detrimental to the organization and the society in general. By following the transaction stress model Lazarus and Folkman (1984) which highlights inter individual differences in understanding job insecurity perception, the effect of demographic variables in this regard is investigated. We use the cross sectional research design to elicit responses, through close ended questionnaire from one hundred and fifty three (153) randomly selected employees in the Nigerian Banking Industry. We use the independent t-test of difference and analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistics to examine the relationship between each of the five demographic variables considered and the tendency for perception of job insecurity. Gender, marital status, age and educational qualification do not exercise any significant effect on perceived job insecurity while the occupational status of respondents exercises an influence in this relationship. Specifically, we found that those employees in managerial job position have higher tendency to exhibit job insecurity perception than other employees in junior, senior and middle level respectively. Perceived job insecurity may be controlled by engaging personality, institutional and organizational based interventions regardless of employee's gender, age group, marital status and educational status. More focus should be given to employees in managerial and junior occupational cadre while making use of these interventions as these particular groups of employees are more likely experience higher level of this workplace syndrome.

Europe is undergoing a profound demographic change. This change will affect significantly all aspects of modern economies including the demand and the prices of the housing stock. The relationship between prices of the housing market and associated demographic variables has been long established. However, in the current literature, the housing market is considered to be unitary and coherent, that is one price reflects the housing stock without taking into account the housing characteristics which in real economy are considered essential for price calculation. To this respect it must be noted that housing submarkets existence has been long established based on the current literature. However and in relation to housing submarkets, the actual goal of the studies currently exist was the definition process, the models and the techniques that should be employed in order to acquire best results. Housing submarkets are considered important in the understanding of different social phenomena. In this chapter an attempt is made to review the relationship of housing prices to demographic variables and then a review on the definition process of housing submarkets.

Alcohol Related Problems

This study explores the relationship of the availability of alcohol to various deleterious behaviors and conditions to determine whether laws restricting legal access to alcohol result in a lower incidence of these phenomena. Two alcohol availability measures (city-county ordinance governing the sale of alcohol and number of alcohol outlets per 100,000 population) and five socio-demographic variables were used as independent variables to determine their relationship to the dependent variables of homicide rate, suicide rate, motor vehicle fatality rate, and liver mortality rate. The findings indicate that alcohol availability measures are almost uniformly negatively correlated with the dependent variables. The “forbidden fruit” concept was advanced to explain the findings and questions were raised concerning the effectiveness of utilizing alcohol regulatory measures to reduce alcohol-related problems.
