1. Life Stressors and Romantic Affiliation.

Author

Furst, Charles J.

Abstract

The curious association between romance and adverse circumstances is based on an extension of emotional attribution theory, which postulates that romantic notions are evoked when nonspecific physiological arousal is attributed to another person or to an interpersonal relationship. Data from a survey on stressful life events was examined to ascertain if there was evidence of the predicted association between the occurrence of stressful life events and falling in love. Subjects were 461 adults representing four cultural/residential groups, i.e., Anglos, Mexican Americans, Mexicans living in Texas but raised in Mexico, and Mexicans raised and living in Mexico. Respondents reported whether they had experienced any of 110 life-events within a 12-month span. Those entering love relationships experienced a greater number of life events than those who did not. Anglos were also more likely to have experienced a large number of life events. (Author/HLM)

Abstract

Abstract: For the purpose of evaluating their validity, survey-based synthetic estimates of problem-drinker prevalence in California's counties were correlated with social indicators of alcohol abuse. Prevalence estimates were predictive of automobile accidents and drunk-driving arrests but not of other problems. Data on drinking practices from a statewide survey provide more valid estimates than national survey data. Taking into account empirical and other factors impinging upon the validity of this prevalence formula, it is concluded that synthetic estimates provide a defensible but limited basis for estimating needs for alcoholism services in small areas.
