Resemblances were greater in values than in other domains for 100 white college students and the 2 parents of each, with somewhat greater similarities between parent-parent than between parent-child. "There was no evidence of greater resemblance in one than in another of the 4 parent-child dyads: mother-son, mother-daughter, father-son, father-daughter. The resemblances did not seem related to any 1 of 8 characteristics of family structure or family emotional climate, although the findings suggested that general cohesiveness and integration of the family may be of some influence."

Human Development

An instrument for measuring attitudes toward the menopause was developed, consisting of 35 statements on which women were asked if they agreed or disagreed. The instrument was administered to 267 women of four age groups : 21-30; 31-44; 45- 55; and 56- 65. Differences were most marked between the first two and the last two groups, with the youn ger women holding the more negative and more undifferentiated attitudes.

... This method is connected to the group methods inspired by Kurt Lewin (Lewin 1947b), the general assumptions of Gestalt psychology (Wertheimer 1959), and the direct work of Lewin's student, Alex Bavelas (Bavelas 1942). This method was developed to systematically reveal the values, beliefs, and nuances of different peoples and groups; moreover, it has been used in studies involving Indigenous populations (Havighurst and Neugarten 1955) and people in other cultures (Bridge and Heller 1968). Regarding the Echo method, people are asked multiple questions; for instance, questions concerning what is good and bad, what they approve or disapprove of, or what satisfies or dissatisfies them. ...

... They simply overlooked and ignored all possibilities of using the data for further purposes. However, they did not doubt the reliability of their data, thus advocating deficit theory or a realistic school of interpretation, accepting that insufficient social milieus prevent people from attaining higher stages (e.g., Ponzo, 1966;Peluffo, 1962Peluffo, , 1967Kelly, 1977Kelly, , 1971Kearney et al., 1973;Freitag, 1983;Maistriaux, 1955;Mogdil & Mogdil, 1976;Ashton, 1975;Dasen, 1977;Dasen & Berry, 1974;Dennis, 1943;Havighurst & Neugarten, 1955;Jahoda, 1958/1 and1958/2;Eckensberger et al., 1979;Greenfield, 1966). ...

... The Piaget following scrutiny of the connection between history, culture and society on the one hand and child psychology on the other hand went on two streets. The one was the empirical cross-cultural psychology that researched psychological stage developments right across nations, ethnicities, cultures, social classes andcontinents (Dasen and Berry, 1974;Dasen, 1977;Cole and Scribner, 1974;Mogdil and Mogdil,1976;Peluffo, 1967;Havighurst and Neugarten, 1955;Luria, 1982;Luria and Wygotski, 1992). As it found different peoples staying on different psychological stages it was clear that Piaget´s own observations regarding the commonalities mentioned couldn´t be totally wrong. ...

... In addition to the above-mentioned authors' contributions to the development of the concept of sociology of generations, one can also consider the studies developed by Lillian E. Troll, a psychology professor at Rutgers University, who offered five possible definitions for the concept of generation, focusing her attention, in particular, on the role of the generation in the relationships established at the family level and in the descent of the kinship relationships, as well as on the study of the generational gap (Troll, et al., 1969) (Troll, 1970;1982). ...

... According to Neugarten, Havighurst, and Tobin [32], life satisfaction was theoretically established as the daily construction of life that yields joy, fosters a positive self-concept, endorses one's self-worth, and maintains an optimistic attitude and outlook. Also, Medley [33] argued that life satisfaction significantly influences an individual's mental health. He posited that expectations, formed through interactions with others, serve as a basis for self-evaluation through comparison with others. ...

... A higher score indicates better psychological well-being. In order to check the validity of the instrument and measure its relationship with the tests that measure personality traits and were also considered psychological well-being indicators, from Bradburn's emotional balance scale [32], Tobin and Neugarten's life satisfaction [33] and dignity Rosenberg himself [34] was used. The correlation results of the Ryff test with each of the above scales were 0.47, 0.58 and 0.46 respectively. ...

The word "palpitations" was too specific to locate pertinent articles, and therefore, we searched for the articles that used standard menopause symptom assessment tools known to assess palpitations. 4 These included the Blatt-Kupperman Index, 22-24 the Greene Climacteric Scale, 25 the Heinemann Menopause Rating Scale, 26 the Holte/ Mikkelsen Menopause Checklist, 27 Hunter's Women's Health Questionnaire, 28 the Menopausal-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) scale, 29 the Menopause Symptom Checklist, 30 the Midlife Women's Symptom Index, 31 Neugarten and Kraines' Symptom Checklist, 32 and the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation menopausal symptom scale. 33 The final electronic search strategies are shown in Supplementary B. ...
