Positive Effect

This study did not replicate a 1981 finding by Burker, et al. that opposite-sex siblings have a positive effect on women's opposite-sex friendships and a negative effect on men's opposite-sex friendships; extrapolation of their finding to romantic relationships was also not supported. The present study also investigated effects of sex-of-sibling on same-sex friendships; data for 71 women and 49 men ( M age = 18.8 yr.) showed that effects of sex-of-sibling were not specific to friendships with members of one sex. Finally, while Burker, et al.'s results are consistent with a process of sibling deidentification, the current study, in suggesting a positive effect of sisters on same-sex friendships, is consistent with a process of sibling identification.

Multimodal Process

AbstractSocial perception is a multimodal process involving vision and audition as central input sources for human social cognitive processes. However, it remains unclear how profoundly deaf people assess others in the context of mating and social interaction. The current study explored the relative importance of different sensory modalities (vision, smell, and touch) in assessments of opposite- and same-sex strangers. We focused on potential sensory compensation processes in mate selection (i.e., increased importance of the intact senses in forming impressions of an opposite-sex stranger as a potential partner). A total of 74 deaf individuals and 100 normally hearing controls were included in the study sample. We found diminished importance of vision and smell in deaf participants compared with controls for opposite- and same-sex strangers, and increased importance of touch for the assessment of same-sex strangers. The results suggested that deaf people rely less on visual and olfactory cues in mating and social assessments, highlighting a possible role of sign language in shaping interpersonal tactile experience in non-romantic relationships.

Abstract Objectives Close romantic and friendship relationships are crucial for successful survival and reproduction. Both provide emotional support that can have significant effects on an individual’s health and wellbeing, and through this their longer term survival and fitness. Nonetheless, the factors that create and maintain intimacy in close relationships remain unclear. Nor is it entirely clear what differentiates romantic relationships from friendships in these terms. In this paper, we explore which factors most strongly predict intimacy in these two kinds of relationship, and how these differ between the two sexes. Results Aside from best friendships being highly gendered in both sexes, the dynamics of these two types of relationships differ between the sexes. The intimacy of female relationships was influenced by similarity (homophily) in many more factors (notably dependability, kindness, mutual support, sense of humour) than was the case for men. Some factors had opposite effects in the two sexes: gift-giving had a negative effect on women’s friendships and a positive effect on men’s, whereas shared histories had the opposite effect. Conclusion These results confirm and extend previous findings that the dynamics of male and female relationships are very different in ways that may reflect differences in their functions.

Interaction Term

Power is fundamental to romantic relationships; Relationship Power (RP) affects personal andrelationship outcomes. The current goals are to examine a) associations between RP and personality and Masculinity/Femininity, and b) effect relationship context (same-sex or opposite-sex relationship) has on these associations. We will run multiple regressions, separately, for each personality, Masculinity, and Femininity trait to evaluate a) the main effect on RP controlling forage covariates, and b) the interaction effect between the respective trait and relationship-type on RP. Significant associations between the 7 traits under investigation and RP would confirm the hypotheses. Significance of the interaction term for personality showing greater association in same-sex couples, as well as significance of mas/fem showing greater associations with RP inopposite-sex couples would confirm the hypotheses regarding the importance of relationship context.

Three Factor

This research is new in its attempt to take future time orientation, morningness orientation, and prospective memory as measures of mental prospection, and to examine a three-factor model that assumes working memory, mental prospection, and cognitive insight are independent but related higher-order cognitive constructs by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The three-factor model produced a good fit to the data. An alternative one-factor model was tested and rejected. The results suggest that working memory and cognitive insight are distinguishable, related constructs, and that both are distinct from, but negatively associated with, mental prospection. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that working memory had a strong positive effect on cognitive insight and a moderate negative effect on mental prospection.

The results of the study partially test the hypothesis (t-test), in substructure I shows that the capital variable has a significant negative effect on NPF, BOPO and inflation has a significant positive effect on NPF, FDR and GDP do not significantly influence NPF at Bank Muamalat Indonesia. In substructure II partially, Capital, BOPO, significant negative effect on ROA, FDR and NPF has a significant positive effect on ROA, Inflation and GDP does not significantly influence ROA while simultaneously significantly influencing ROA. Based on the sobel test, capital has a significant effect on ROA through NPF, BOPO has a significant effect on ROA through NPF, FDR has a significant effect on ROA through NPF, Inflation has a significant effect on ROA through NPF, while GDP has no significant effect on ROA through NPF.
