...Current literature on the topic suggests that there is a general consensus that the main function of jealousy is to protect a valuable relationship from loss to a desirable rival (Buss & Haselton, 2005). However despite this primary function, there are clear sex differences with regards to thoughts about emotional and sexual infidelity (Daly, Wilson & Weghorst, 1982). There exists a lot of evidence to support the finding that men find sexual infidelity worse than emotional infidelity, whereas women find the opposite (Buss et al., 2001; Daly et al., 1982). It has been found that 60% of men choose sexual infidelity as worse, and 74% of women choose emotional infidelity (Sagarin et al., 2012). Moreover, these findings have been replicated in numerous countries, which encourage the perspective that these sex differences are evolutionary based (Buunk & Angleitner, 1996). The parental-investment model states that these differences occur because men want to be sure of the paternity of their children, not invest their resources to genetically unrelated offspring, and consequently lose reproductive resources. Women, however, find emotional infidelity worse because they want mates who will invest in their offspring’s chance of survival (Trivers, 1972). Nonetheless, there still remains considerable controversy over whether these sex differences really do exist. Forced-choice compared to continuous measures have yielded different results, with...

Contemporary Family Therapy 36.3 (2014): 333. Print This study examined the mediating effects of relationship satisfaction, prayer for a partner, and morbidity in the relationship between attachment and loneliness, infidelity and loneliness, and psychological morbidity and loneliness, in college students involved in a romantic relationship. The present results expand the literature on attachment by presenting evidence that anxious and avoidant partners experience loneliness differently. By utilizing this data, I will have an easier time determining how the relationship effects the each member of the couple's personal lives with this as a reference.

...The biggest draw of the series is easily the two main actors’ performances. Now an Academy Award winner, McConaughey shows exactly how far he’s come in the last ten years from his usual Hollywood romantic comedy. Instead of the typical pretty boy, he plays an intelligent and thoughtful, but broken detective whose gaunt frame and disheveled look represent the personal trials he’s endured. And, while great, Harrelson’s performance seems mildly overshadowed. He’s there mainly to act as the foil and smartass remarks to McConaughey’s philosophical musings on their job abound. McConaughey’s character summarizes it best when he says, “Without me, there is no you.” Much of the show revolves around the detectives recounting their story to a video camera...

...Is porn adultery? The notion that watching porn and fantasizing about other women leads to divorce and infidelity has been floating around for ages. The reason this debate has never been settled is because of the ambiguity between a person watching naked women and physically touching another woman that’s not your wife. I think porn has the potential to not only keep a marriage afloat but also strengthen it. A closer analysis into real life interviews with college students, porn statistics and a deep look into Ross Douthat’s essay on porn, it can be concluded that porn, in fact, isn’t a gateway drug to adultery. I was introduced to porn during my freshman year of high school. At the time, I was still attending T.A.S.O.K (The American School of Kinshasa), an extremely diverse private Christian school in the Congo. I vividly remember that Friday afternoon in the men’s locker room after the basketball team had finished practice my friend Jeremy coming up to me with a big smile on his face. He said something along the lines of “James check this out!” He pulled out his new Nokia that he had received as a gift from his parents for his birthday. I remember looking at the screen of the phone and seeing a man and a woman having intercourse and staying in the locker room with the entire basketball team for next thirty minutes. There were lots of fist bumps and laughter as we were all exposed to this simple tape that was part of a multi-billion dollar entertainment industry. According to...

...husband. “If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse. Mine are words and his are action. His was what he’s done to women. There’s never been anybody in the history [of] politics in this nation that’s been so abusive to women. So you can say any way you want to say it, but Bill Clinton was abusive to women,” (Trump 2016). Trump had the option of speaking about anyone in that timeframe. The people he chose to address prove who Trump saw as relevant to the debate. He made no mention of the woman he talked about in the video or any women in his life. The only two people addressed, Bill Clinton and himself, are men in power and the husbands within their marriages. He also brought women who had accused Bill Clinton of rape and sexual abuse to the debate in an attempt to intimidate his opponent. Trump sees the conflict between the two “alpha males,” yet holds Hillary Clinton responsible for her husband’s actions. Thus, in the debate, he sees it as appropriate to attack her husband’s infidelity as an indictment of her. Donald Trump was not alone in bringing Bill Clinton’s personal life into the 2016 presidential election. Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones launched a campaign to publicize rape allegations made about Clinton. One tactic used was promoting shirts that read, “Bill Clinton rape” and interrupting Clinton rallies by yelling, “Bill Clinton is a rapist” (Jamieson 2016). Another example is Breitbart News, which interviewed Juanita Broderick in October of 2016, one month before the...

Kitty over the years endured therapy with the chief psychiatrist in the state owned hospital, although her condition was well managed and treated vigorously in depression and trauma for some time, but it was unsuccessful for the long term as she has started life threatening injuries to harm herself. Kitty exhibits signs of depression, stress and other manifested life threatening injuries to harm herself. Subsequently, has been diagnosed with suicidal attempt.

...Running head: THE EFFECTS OF MEDIA IN SOCIALIZATION The Effects of Media in the Socialization of Children and Young Adults The Effects of Media in the Socialization of Children and Young Adults The media today are a powerful tool in modifying the behavior of children and young adults. This behavior can be seen as negative or positive depending on the situation. Children’s development is influenced by many factors but as Lund (2003) noted the significance of the mass media cannot be overstated: “The accumulated experience of media exposure contributes to the cultivation of a child’s values, beliefs, dreams, and expectations, which shape the adult identity a child will carry and modify through his or her life.” Studies investigating Social Learning Theory, done by Baker (2007, p.26) have consistently reported that children can model roles and behaviors seen on television. Media play a significant role in the socialization process, body image, and moral judgments in children and adolescents. Cartoons on television are some of the first factors of socialization in a child’s life. Although many adults feel that cartoons are obviously fantastical, unrealistic, and therefore harmless to children, the research evidence proves otherwise. “According to developmental literature, children before the age of ten years often have difficulty differentiating between reality and fantasy”(Baker...

...to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice, to practice fraud or trickery, to violate rules dishonestly, or to be sexually unfaithful.11 A cheater (sometimes called acheat) gets something by dishonesty or deception; or by depriving one of his or her rights and usually connotes deliberate perversion of the truth; or by large-scale cheating bymisrepresentation or abuse of confidence.11 Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.3 Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.17 Cheating fundamentally includes several elements of both lying and stealing, with specific motivations to gain something of value by illegitimate means. That is why lying and stealing are discussed before cheating. Cheating is lying and/or stealing with the intention for acquiring something for more than merely the "pleasure" of fooling or depriving others. Children Cheating as a concept is not understood by children until around age seven. Preschoolers often change the rules to a game as they play, innocent of the fact that rules must remain consistent to have any meaning. By seven, however, children have gained an understanding of rules, fairness,...

...FACTORS AFFECTING BRAND LOYALTY AMONG SMALL SCALE SAVERS (A Case Study Bank) ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to find out the factors affecting brand loyalty among small scale savers. This was a descriptive sample survey which targeted 100 customers of Equity bank Nairobi. The specific objectives of this study were to establish who loyal customers to Equity are, to determine the factors that make the customer satisfied, to examine how awareness work to help brand loyalty and to determine what factors need to be improved to increase customer satisfaction in Equity Bank. A questionnaire was used as an aid for data collection where both open ended and closed ended questions were used to collect qualitative data respectively. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics presented in tables and charts. The results of the study revealed that Equity clients are generally satisfied with the company. However this satisfaction seems to have an effect on the number of clients who are willing to repurchase or re-patronize Equity products. In effect, the more satisfied customers are, the more loyal they are likely to be. In a highly competitive industry like banking, loyalty is everything. Loyalty facilitates positive word of mouth about the company. Loyalty has also had a positive effect on the bottom line of Equity Bank. Although the increase in profits year in year out has been below the targeted, it is in the right direction. One major factor of concern that needs...
