Gender differences in the frequency of employer changes and their financial return were examined in a sample of Bavarian university graduates. The search and matching theories were used to develop hypotheses which were then tested against each other. The results show that in the first few years after graduation women change employer more frequently than men. In large part this can be explained ...

Some empirical data suggest that sexual dimorphisms in callosal morphology exist, but findings are not consistently replicated across laboratories. We applied novel computational surface-based methods to encode callosal thickness at high spatial resolution. We further examined whether callosal thickness and related gender effects are influenced by brain size adjustments achieved through data sc...

OBJECTIVES This study investigates relationships between retirement preferences and perceived levels of work-family conflict. METHODS Using the large sample of 52-54-year-old respondents to the 1992 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, we estimated multinomial logistic regression models of preferences for partial and full retirement within the next 10 years. We examined the association between retir...

This study investigates the two frequency characteristics, F0 and F1F2, of the speech of Cantonese children, male and female, of nine age groups from 4 to 12. The F0 data on the Cantonese tones [55 33 22] from children show that (i) the patterns of the age-related decrease in F0 are similar between male and female children before age 12; (ii) at age 12, there is a large drop in F0 in male child...

38 h of sleep deprivation in women resulted in decreased alpha, increased theta and increased intrahemispheric correlation during rest and increased theta and reaction time during task. F3-O1 coherent activity was selectively decreased consistent with the role of sleep for recovery of frontal functions. Sleep deprivation effects were milder in women than in men, however, recovery was not comple...
