Therefore this supports Duck's theory as extramarital affairs are link to the lack of skills or stimulation. Further support for Duck's theory comes from the real world application and the importance of social skills deficits in relationship breakdown has lead to this development Couples Coping Enhancement Training (CCET) it is a training programme to enhance relationship skills in distressed couples. CCET programme aims to sensitise couples to issue of equity. Cina et al compared 50 couples who received CCET with a control group who didn't. Result showed that CCET group reported much higher marital quality after training than the control group.
Moghaddam suggests that the theory mainly applies to students in western cultures because they generally have short-term relationships due to their high mobility, short-term relationships do not involve long-term commitment so it makes sense to be concerned with give/take. This suggests the theory may not apply to long-term relationships and those within cultures concerned more with security than profit. Simpson provides research support for the CLA. He asked participants to rate members of the opposite sex in terms of attractiveness. He found that participants who were already in committed relationships tended to give lower scores than those not in a relationship.
In her article, Dowd argues against the use of such application like RoomBug and website like URoomSurf.com by claiming that, first of all, being able to choose their own roommates would block out the opportunity for students to mature socially. She contends that being put into the same dorm room with people students don’t like or find it difficult to live which can “toughen you[the student] up and broaden you[the students] out for the rest of your[the students’] life”. However, though the statement is true in some parts, the writer has overlooked another crucial point: a dormitory is not the only place people can learn how to live with others. Students have to communicate with other people apart from their roommates in daily life. For example, students will need to converse and work with other students while preparing for a group presentation, discussing with their teachers after class about
In addition to et al’s findings, Holtfreter also found that serious fraud offenders tent to be older, more educated males than people who committed less serious fraud crimes. This leads to one of the policy implications of past studies because they mainly focused on sampling from college student populations and this could hinder the outcomes of the tests. Using college students as a sample shed little light to the nature of this type of offending because of the age. The objective of this study is
Participants judged that sexual reasons for infidelity such as boredom and sexual excitement would be more likely to be used by men whereas emotional reasons for infidelity such as lack of attention would be more likely to be used by women. Therefore showing how affairs may be the result of a perceived lack of skills and/or stimulation and thus supporting Duck's theory. Long-distance relationships can be the cause of maintenance difficulties. However, Holt & Stone found that there was little decrease in relationship satisfaction as long as the lovers are able to reunite regularly. This suggests that long-distance relationships may not lead to breakdown as Duck’s explanation would suggest.
In western cultures divorce is more common and it’s acceptable for people to get married multiple times. However in non-western cultures divorce is frowned upon and is therefore much less common, which makes it appear that arranged marriages are better for long term relationships. A research study which involved using a questionnaire on people from different cultures to determine whether they felt happy in their relationship or not was performed. Using questionnaires is a cheap and easy way of gathering information for lots of people, however as western questionnaires were used we cannot be sure if the results for the non-western cultures are due to how those people actually felt or if its due to how the question can be answered as its culture bias. Also the participants could show social desirability if they are aware of what the investigators are looking for.
Economic capital can pay for private education, which in most cases is better suited for learning than public education. It can also pay for college tuition, which is pursued to attain a stable career. Without either economic or cultural capital in a home, it is very challenging to move up the social ladder. It is easier to start at the top than at the bottom. While social class may play a part in achieving or keeping social status, its
3. Lack of competition in their theme park business allows them to price themselves at a higher pricepoint. | Threats 1. Pricing is too high. While they are succeeding now, the increase in technology is causing for the younger generation to have a different mentality due to their shorter attention spans.
Extraversion Extraverts are sociable and active, they enjoy meeting people and going to parties. The original conception of extraversion linked it to arousal (Eysenck, 1967). Eysenck described extraverts as showing low levels of cortical arousal, while introverts were seen as over-aroused. Later explanations focussed on proposed differences in conditioning. Because of their higher arousal introverts were claimed to condition more readily and were therefore more socialised, more sensitive to social constraints.
What seems to be a little more attention given to males really adds up to women underachieving throughout their lives. Although seism is a big issue, there are still some advantages in coeducation schooling suck as the communication between men and women. If we are not taught to work together as we are young how will we ever feel as equals and understand each other when we are older? Coeducational schools are typically cheaper than private or single sex school. If everyone is expected to function in a diverse society, then we should attend a
