Physiological Correlates of Volunteering

We review research on physiological correlates of volunteering, a neglected but promising research field. Some of these correlates seem to be causal factors influencing volunteering. Volunteers tend to have better physical health, both self-reported and expert-assessed, better mental health, and perform better on cognitive tasks. Research thus far has rarely examined neurological, neurochemical, hormonal, and genetic correlates of volunteering to any significant extent, especially controlling for other factors as potential confounds. Evolutionary theory and behavioral genetic research suggest the importance of such physiological factors in humans. Basically, many aspects of social relationships and social activities have effects on health (e.g., Newman and Roberts 2013; Uchino 2004), as the widely used biopsychosocial (BPS) model suggests (Institute of Medicine 2001). Studies of formal volunteering (FV), charitable giving, and altruistic behavior suggest that physiological characteristics are related to volunteering, including specific genes (such as oxytocin receptor [OXTR] genes, Arginine vasopressin receptor [AVPR] genes, dopamine D4 receptor [DRD4] genes, and 5-HTTLPR). We recommend that future research on physiological factors be extended to non-Western populations, focusing specifically on volunteering, and differentiating between different forms and types of volunteering and civic participation

Review of Particle Properties, 1968 Aug

This review of the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons is an updating of Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. 40, 77 (1968) with minor changes. Data are evaluated, listed, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet sheets. A data booklet is also available

Review of Particle Properties, 1969

This review of the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons is an updating of Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. 40, 77 (1968). Data are evaluated, listed, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet sheets. A data booklet is also available

Data on Particles and Resonant States 1968

Data on the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons are listed, referenced, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet cards. This is an updating of the Reviews of Modern Physics article of January 1967

Data on Particles and Resonant States, 1967

This data survey is an updating (at the end of 1966) of that of October 1965 (Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 37 (1965) pp. 633-651). An intermediated version was distributed at the XIII International Conference on High Energy Physics held at Berkeley in August and September 1966. The final version has been compiled since the Conference, and will be published in Rev. Mod. Phys., January 1967. This is an updating, to Aug. 1967, of our January compilation [Rev. Mod. Phys. 39, 1 (1967)]. This edition will not be published; it, and separate wallet sheets, will be distributed at the Heidelberg Conference. Data on the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons are listed, referenced, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet cards. The data survey is an updating of that of October 1965 (Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 37 (1965) pp. 633-651). An intermediate version was distributed at the XIII International Conference on High Energy Physics held at Berkeley in August 1966. This time a large number of early data and references have been deleted from the listings; these pioneer works can be found in any earlier edition

Review of Particle Properties, 1970 Jan

This review of the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons is an updating of Review of Particle Properties, Particle Data Group Rev. Mod. Phys. 41, 109 (1969). Data are evaluated, listed, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet sheets. A data booklet is also available
