Gender and Ethnic Differences in Obesity‐Related Behaviors and Attitudes In a College Sample

This study looked at gender and Black/White differences for a number of variables related to attitudes toward obesity in a sample of 650 college students. The overall stereotypes of overweight persons were both negative and unrelated to subjects' own degree of obesity, although individuals reported that their personal views were less negative than those of others.Women indicated greater concern with obesity than men in several ways, and the societal stereotype of an overweight woman was seen as more negative than that of an overweight man. Men were more concerned about a date's weight than women, and White women's weight (unlike that of other subgroups) was negatively related to their likelihood and frequency of dating. Although Blacks, particularly Black females, were heavier than Whites, they were more satisfied with their body shape. Black males were less likely than White males to have refused to date someone because of her weight, and Blacks personally considered overweight women to be more attractive, sexier, less ugly, and less sloppy than did Whites. The findings suggest that both gender and ethnicity should be considered when discussing people's attitudes towards obesity and the consequences of such attitudes.

Sex, Love and Marriage in the Caribbean

ues without being an evangelist for any particular value position. In case of present volume, author clearly succeeded on first count. The book is well organized and well written and should be of interest to literate public as well as to professional community. On second point, scholarship is best where it counts most; namely, in chapters on Premarital Sexual Attitudes and on Premarital Sexual Behavior, although one could wonder whether author does not lean too heavily on a few sources (there are over 80 references to two Kinsey volumes and 50 to Ira Reiss's work). An exception to generally admirable scholarship is chapter on historical background which would make any modern historian wince. Hopefully at some early date someone will use wondrous techniques of current historiography to explore history of family life in this culture and thereby lay to rest once and for all dated, stereotypic images of the Puritan Family, the Southern Colonial Family, and the Turn-of-the-Century Family from which contemporary array of American families allegedly evolved. Another disappointment, though not justly a criticism, is that Professor Bell limited himself to role of digester of studies and purveyor of empirical generalizations. This is a valuable service in itself, but one hopes that he will someday take next step and suggest a conceptual model for understanding and exploring premarital sexual behavior as well.

Selection of electrical apparatus for cranes

This paper is intended to assist crane designers and electrical engineers in mills and factories to select the proper size and kind of motor by mathematical calculation from given data, and refers particularly to the electric overhead traveling crane. The paper does not apply to heavy duty cranes which undergo regular duty cycles, nor to very small hoists such as the monorail hoist. It is hoped that at some future date someone else will write papers on these two kinds of cranes to supplement this paper. Cranes are classified here for purposes of reference within the paper. It is then shown how to calculate the power required of a motor for hoisting and how to select the particular kind of motor needed; the same information is given for bridge travel with particular reference to the live loads or accelerating loads, and also for trolley travel. The paper discusses direct-current motors separately from alternating-current motors. The calculations for each are also given separately. This is the first of a series of papers covering the field of applications of electrical equipment. This paper is on application of motors to cranes. One will follow by Mr. H. W. Eastwood on auxiliary electrical equipment such as magnetic friction brakes, overload protective panels, and limit switches. To complete the series it is planned to have the third paper on the subject of controller equipment.
