Men often feel very angry with women who never initiate sex and too often don’t want sex. But this anger has a tone of alienation, guilt, and insecurity: men feel instinctively on some level that sex does not involve an equal sharing, especially when they are having an orgasm and the woman does not – and this puts them on the defensive.

This is a scientific forum. I am looking for people to engage with an informed perspective based on facts and research findings. This is not a girlie magazine where sexual ignorance is welcomed. Please comment on topics you know something about - that means that you have studied the subject in some depth and have some wisdom to share.

For those who stand on the pulpit and preach "follow the data...", there should be no question, Covid was a planned bioweapon attack and was a manufactured weapon.
For the field of "science" to be silent in the face of censorship of research, silencing of scientists, ridicule of narratives that do no conform, all of the field of scientists whovremained silent were complicit in a Hitler style attack, and own the guilt, sin and consequences.
What is clear is that the field of "science" has becomecan extension of oligarchy corruption and has failed at its core.
Science and data prove that and the experiments and research support the claims made in this narrative of consciousness.
Science would not allow such denial of data, and would condemn the manufacturing of bioweapons, the forced injections of DNA altering chemical and metallic inventions, and would join the pursuit of truth , not the royalties of sales from the bioweapon attack.
To all "scientists", shame, shame, shame.

Answer
There is decades of research conclusions that indicate very clearly - beyond any reasonable doubt - that men are much much more sexually motivated than women are. Men have a sex drive. Women don't. Women, most of the time, make a conscious choice to offer intercourse in exchange for a loving relationship. Otherwise it is just ego, money and vanity - women make money out of the male need for sex. But women don't need sex at all. Sex becomes a bargaining chip in relationships that men resent. The mismatch in sex drives is what causes misunderstanding and conflict in couples sex lives. Please see my work via nosper.com if you have any interest in the reality - rather than the fiction - of sexuality. Few women ever comment or show any knowledge of sexual phenomena.

I am an undergraduate student conducting an honors thesis on how feelings of guilt and shame impact parental confidence when a child is placed in the NICU after birth. I also want to look into what factors contribute to these feelings of guilt and shame. For example, I think mothers are going to be more worried about how their emotional state is going to impact their care for their newborn but fathers will be be more worried about financial burdens and paying for new medical devices. If anyone has any suggestions for how I should approach this research and how I should measure these variables it would be greatly appreciated. I am very new to research and need some guidance.

I don't mean for this response to be self-serving but we have a 3-minute image-based activity that measures emotions across four domains of life, guilt and shame among the measures, but also more fundamental issues of identity, compassion, and control. Please reach out directly if you have interest. The assessment has been validated in peer-reviewed journals. We would make the assessment available at no charge.

I am examining whether sex and religion of a defendant may impact their percieved guilt, risk, possibility of rehabilitation and the harshness of sentencing. I have done this by creating 4 different case studies in which a defendant has differing sex and religion and was suspected of committing a crime. There were 200 participants in which 50 each where given one of the 4 case studies. Participants would then have to answer a number of questions about the case study such as "what sentence do you think is fair?" All data is ordinal. Ive been advised to used different statisical analysis so im confused and would like some advice on which one to use
Relevant answer
Answer
If the data are ordinal then it violates assumptions underlying many types of tests (e.g., ANOVA). Thus, the non-parametric equivalent is an option. Kruskal-Wallis is potentially suited for this design. I've done comparisons of one-way and factorial anova versus their non-parametric equivalents and found the results to be virtually identical. If the DV is on a 7-point scale (or similar) then then it is technically ordinal but practically interval in nature, and most researchers use parametric tests. If it is truly ordinal, such as a rank-based DV, then you'd want to look at rank ordered tests (e.g., Friedman's test), but I doubt that would be a good fit here. I think you could also set up a regression model depending on how comfortable you are with it.

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem regarding interpreting my results of pairwise comparisons (one-way ANOVA) for my masters thesis.
Situations is as follows:
I have the following three variables:
1. perceived social status (PSS, dependent variable)
2. ECO (independent and binary variable: ecological good (ECO_02) vs. non ecological good (ECO_01))
3. KS (collective guilt; moderator variable, also binary: low collective guilt (KS_M = 0) vs high collective guilt (KS_M = 1))
I have the following two hypothesis:
1. The consumption of ecological good increases the PSS of a person more than the consumption of non ecological good.
2. The influence of an ecological good on the PSS is amplified by collective guilt.
I want to test both hypothesis.
With which table (seen in both pictures) is a testing of the hypothesis better? Or is a reformulation of the hypothesis needed?
Thank you very much!
Relevant answer
Answer
David Morse , "and affirms that there is an interaction of Eco and KS.": no, it does not. If you want to know if the data support an interaction (difference in Eco-effects between levels of KS), then it should be tested.
There is an important issue with the analysis and of interactions, particularly regarding their interpretation (e.g.if there is functional synergism or antagonism). Here it makes a huge difference it the effects are considered additive or multiplicative (and what the true relation of the effects is).

Dear Dr. Kemp,
Thanks for your reply. I treated patients who are not really very sick as their MDs treated. It induced me to ask the question here to see if shared clinical experiences can let doctors use another approach to treat patients that are not only cut down medical cost. But also make the patient go back to his normal life to have production instead of sick and consume resources without any productivity.

A brief stay in my home of a West Point cadet exemplified what you are talking about.  I work  as a private homebirth midwife using those same  principles of accountability.   Because of my motivation and principles, i no longer need to carry a kit to stitch women after birth because I have figured out and published a way to deliver all women over an intact perineum.  Even women with a previous third or fourth degree damage. Because of my motivation, I figured out and published a very easy protocol that prevents all hemorrhaging at all vaginal births- high and low risk.  It is telling that these protocols are not adopted by hospitals. Instead, the lowest recorded hemorrhage rates in hospital at vaginal birth is 5% , with 1% of women needing blood transfusions.   All that bleeding is preventable- no animals hemorrhage at birth.   All animals evolved not to hemorrhage at birth, including humans.  and 80% of women get stitches in hospital, all preventable.    I have never encountered any accountability in hospitals.   There is a new book about the methods how to improve systems- about how flying became so safe.  I will get you the name of it.    The same principles could be applied to hospitals, but there is no interest to improve outcomes in hospital settings.

Relevant answer
Answer
I have done research and published articles on the distinctions between shame and guilt, as well as responses / coping / emotion-regulation.  I think people make too much of the distinction.  I view shame as an evolutionary adaptation.  I view guilt as a human-defined state that may be accompanied by a variety of emotions: distress/empathy (over consequences to others); fear (of punishment); joy/excitement (guilty pleasures); and usually shame (if I did a "bad thing", you probably view me as less worthy).  As an evolutionary adaptation, I don't believe shame requires any sense of responsibility, for example shame over some bodily feature (weight, hair, defects).  Shame only requires the perception that others "devalue" you, meaning think of you as less than how you would like to be perceived.

I am trying to research the phenomenon of society persecuting family members of sex offenders. I am focusing on internet related offenses (child pornography, etc).  Generally the spouse, children, and other family members are completely unaware yet become pariah to the general public as though they committed the offense themselves. Fears of guilt by association leads many secondary victims to avoid seeking support services creating long term issues. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Tammy
Relevant answer
Answer
Tammy,
First, I am unaware of any such survey relative to this topic.  I would however, suggest that you broaden you search area because the symptomatology you describe fits with feelings of primary and tertiary victims associated with offenders who commit mass violence, mass murder, serial offenses whether killing or sexually based, and those incorrectly titled as “Lone Wolf” offenders.
Keep in mind that these individuals are suffering on a number of different levels:
  • Being shunned by family, community, co-workers and friends as a result of the offender’s actions.
  • Self-blame from feelings that they should have known.
  • Self-blame because they may have recognized pre, during, or post behaviors the offender exhibited and if reported may have limited or eliminated the harm or damage of the offenders’ actions.  NOTE: I call this “Offender Per, During, and Post Incident Communications” however, my research considers communications on a much broader spectrum than does the research conducted by my colleagues Dr. J. Reid Meloy and Dr. Mary Ellen O’Toole, the most prominent researchers in the field of threat assessment, who refer to this as “Leakage.”
  • These individuals will also experience the same 7 stages of grief as with the loss of a loved one.  The difference is that the grief they are experiencing is the grief of a victim and a societal outcast:
  1. SHOCK & DENIAL
  2. PAIN & GUILT
  3. ANGER & BARGAINING
  4. DEPRESSION, REFLECTION, LONELINESS
  5. THE UPWARD TURN
  6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH
  7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE
Keep in mind not only the primary victims, but tertiary victims as well.  These tertiary victims can extend to extended family, friends, co-workers, etc.
Your client’s must also recognize that real or imagined persecution is temporary as is evidenced by a multitude of prior cases such as those associated with: Theodore “Ted” Bundy, Gary Ridgway – “Green River Killer,” Dennis Rader – “BTK,” Richard Ramirez – “Night Stalker Killer,” John Wayne Gacy – “Bogo The Clown, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein – “Buffalo Bill,” Richard Trenton Chase – "The Vampire of Sacramento," Andrei Chikatilo – “Citizen X, Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper, or The Rostov Ripper.”, etc.  This temporary state does not make the feelings of persecution any less. Often these family members have chosen to go on camera with members of the mass media to address their family members’ actions and the unwarranted persecution they are experiencing.
It should be noted that in cases such as highly publicized child murders or school shootings many primary and tertiary victims make the decision to relocate to a different geographical areas to escape the negative attention caused by their family members’ actions.
You may find resources relative to your topic by researching individual state and federal victims assistance programs; they may be collecting such data relative to their future funding needs.
