Emotional Intelligence and Gender as Predictors of Infidelity Among Heterosexual, Monogamous Couples

The rate of families being impacted by divorce is high. Studies show that infidelity remains the number one cause of divorce or the dissolution of relationships; however, couples with a higher level of emotional intelligence (EI) have demonstrated a higher rate of marital satisfaction.The purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental study was to determine if gender, EI, ethnicity, and age, individually or in combination, can adequately predict infidelity among persons in committed, heterosexual, monogamous relationships. EI theory served as the theoretical foundation for this study. Using an online survey methodology, each participant answered four qualifying questions and, when qualified, took the Schutte Self-Report Inventory test, a 33-question instrument designed to measure a person’s EI level and provide data for the other predictor variables. Logistic regression was used to analyze the data and answer the research questions. The statistically significant results, c2(6) = 23.25, p \u3c .01 for the omnibus test of model fit showed that the combined effect of all six predictors significantly predicted whether a person committed infidelity or not. The results also demonstrated that marriage versus cohabitating was a significant factor in whether a person committed infidelity or not.? This study showed that infidelity negatively impacts everyone in a variety of ways. Helping to predict, prevent, and heal from infidelity will affect positive social change by reducing the negative long-term effects of infidelity for couples, families, and those professional helpers working with this community

Excess Mortality Rate During Adulthood Among Danish Adoptees

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adoption studies have been used to disentangle the influence of genes from shared familial environment on various traits and disease risks. However, both the factors leading to adoption and living as an adoptee may bias the studies with regard to the relative influence of genes and environment compared to the general population. The aim was to investigate whether the cohort of domestic adoptees used for these studies in Denmark is similar to the general population with respect to all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality rates. METHODS: 13,111 adoptees born in Denmark in 1917, or later, and adopted in 1924 to 1947 were compared to all Danes from the same birth cohorts using standardized mortality ratios (SMR). The 12,729 adoptees alive in 1970 were similarly compared to all Danes using SMR as well as cause-specific SMR. RESULTS: The excess in all-cause mortality before age 65 years in adoptees was estimated to be 1.30 (95% CI 1.26-1.35). Significant excess mortality before age 65 years was also observed for infections, vascular deaths, cancer, alcohol-related deaths and suicide. Analyses including deaths after age 65 generally showed slightly less excess in mortality, but the excess was significant for all-cause mortality, cancer, alcohol-related deaths and suicides. CONCLUSION: Adoptees have an increased all-cause mortality compared to the general population. All major specific causes of death contributed, and the highest excess is seen for alcohol-related deaths

On the religious and cultural life of Jews in Styria, Carinthia and Carniola 1371-1496 with special considering the area of present-day Slovenia

Rabin dr Hinko Schulsinger je veoma iscrpno istraživao sve aspekte života i rada Jevreja u Štajerskoj, Koruškoj i Kranjskoj sa posebnim osvrtom na područje današnje Slovenije. U Jevrejskom almanahu za godinu 5686 (1925-1926) objavljen je njegov rad "O pravnom i ekonomskom životu Jevreja u Štajerskoj, Koruškoj i Kranjskoj u razdoblju od 1371 do 1496. godine" u kome navodi podatak da razni gradski i državni arhivi poseduju raznovrsnu građu koju su temeljno i objektivno obradili J. E. Scherer i Artur Rosenberg. Ali kako se njihovi radovi baziraju isključivo na nejevrejskim izvorima, taj materijal je manjkav i nedovoljan za istraživanje ondašnjih prilika. Njima nije bio poznat život tadašnje jevrejske zajednice, a ni unutrašnje prilike iz jevrejskog porodičnog života. Rabin Schulsinger upozorava da za se istraživanje pravnih i ekonomskih prilika Jevreja u srednjemu veku, trebaju koristiti i jevrejski izvori koji se u izobilju mogu naći u responsama srednjega veka. Korišćenjem jevrejskih izvora moguće je sagledavanje jevrejskog života iz prošlosti. Jedino kombinovano korišćenje jevrejskih i nejevrejskih podataka omogućava objektivno prikazivanje tadašnjeg života jevrejskih zajednica. U nastavku studije objavljene u četvrtom i petom broju "Almanaha" opisan je religiozni i kulturni život Jevreja u Štajerskoj, Koruškoj i Kranjskoj od 1371-1496 godine sa posebnim osvrtom na područje današnje Slovenije.Rabbi Dr. Hinko Schulsinger very thoroughly researched all aspects of the life and work of Jews in Štajerska (Styria), Koruška (Carinthia), and Kranjska (Carniola) with special reference to the area of today's Slovenia. In the Jewish Almanac for the year 5686 (1925-1926) his work "On the legal and economic life of Jews in Štajerska, Koruška and Kranjska in the period from 1371 to 1496" was published, in which he states that various city and state archives have various materials which were thoroughly and objectively elaborated by J. E. Scherer and Arthur Rosenberg. But as their works are based exclusively on non-Jewish sources, that material is deficient and insufficient for researching the circumstances there. They were not familiar with the life of the Jewish community, nor with the inner circumstances of Jewish family life. Rabbi Schulsinger warns that in order to research the legal and economic opportunities of Jews in the Middle Ages, Jewish sources should also be used, which can be found in abundance in the responses of the Middle Ages. By using Jewish sources, it is possible to look at Jewish life from the past. Only the combined use of Jewish and non-Jewish data enables an objective presentation of the life of the Jewish communities at that time The continuation of the study published in the fourth and fifth issues of the "Almanac" describes the religious and cultural life of Jews in Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola from 1371-1496, with special reference to the area of today's Slovenia.Studija Hinka Schulsingera o Jevrejima Štajerske, Koruške i Kranjske objavljena je u 3 dela u Jevrejskom almanahu, godište 1/1925, godište 4/1928) i godište 5/1929.

U nastavku studije objavljene u ovom, četvrtom broju "Almanaha" opisan je religiozni i kulturni život jevrejskih zajednica koje su živele u Austriji i njenim pokrajinama u srednjem veku. Zbog izolacije u getu Jevreji su se usmerili na izučavanje Talmuda što je imalo veliki značaj za očuvanje temelja stare jevrejske tradicije. Prislino izdvajanje od spoljašnjeg sveta imalo je kao posledicu jače spajanje zajednice iznutra u religioznom, kulturnom i socijalnom pogledu. Religija i kultura bile su usko povezane i mogu se posmatrati kao jedinstveni faktor u jevrejskim zajednicama tog vremena. Dr. Schulsinger upoznaje čitaoce sa unutrašnjim organizacijom i načinom funkcionisanja ovih, silom prilika, zatvorenih zajednica.Rabbi Dr. Hinko Schulsinger very thoroughly researched all aspects of the life and work of Jews in Štajerska (Styria), Koruška (Carinthia), and Kranjska (Carniola) with special reference to the area of today's Slovenia.

Only the combined use of Jewish and non-Jewish data enables an objective presentation of the life of the Jewish communities at that time. The continuation of the study published in this, the fourth issue of the "Almanac", describes the religious and cultural life of the Jewish communities that lived in Austria and its provinces in the Middle Ages. Due to the isolation in the ghetto, the Jews focused on the study of the Talmud, which was of great importance for preserving the foundations of the old Jewish tradition. The forced separation from the outside world resulted in a stronger union of the community from within in religious, cultural, and social terms. Religion and culture were closely linked and can be seen as a unique factor in the Jewish communities of the time. Dr. Schulsinger introduces readers to the internal organization and functioning of these, by force of circumstances, closed communities.Studija Hinka Schulsingera o Jevrejima Štajerske, Koruške i Kranjske objavljena je u 3 dela u Jevrejskom almanahu, godište 1/1925, godište 4/1928) i godište 5/1929.
