The hypothesis that premature ejaculators (PEs) are less able than non-premature ejaculators (NPEs) to evaluate accurately their level of physiologically determined sexual arousal was tested. Twenty-six men (13 PEs and 13 NPEs) viewed a variety of videotaped vignettes, some of which were excerpts from sexually explicit films. Concurrent subjective (self-report) and objective (plethysmograph) ratings of sexual arousal were taken. Data revealed that both the PEs and NPEs were equally accurate in assessing their level of physiological sexual arousal. These results and those from a sexual history questionnaire were used to evaluate several hypotheses regarding the nature and etiology of premature ejaculation.
This study sought to identify relative meanings among professionals of three clinical labels for children-mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, and juvenile delinquent -as well as an average or unlabeled choice. Forty regular classroom teachers and 32 mental health workers responded on two questionnaires designed to measure their reactions to these labels with nine questions concerned with expectations for the child's success in school and work, implications for treatment strategies, and motivation to work with the child. The labels conveyed clearly different relative meanings, and the two professional groups differed in a consistent fashion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
