Individuals who are born deaf or become deaf in early childhood and are implanted as adults (or in late adolescence) with a multi-electrode, intracochlear implant often cannot understand speech by audition alone. Test results of four implanted patients were analyzed to determine 1. if there was a difference in performance between patients; 2. if there was a relation between performance and history of auditory stimulation; and 3. which tests revealed performance differences. On audition-only and audition-plus-vision tests, overall performance was rank-ordered from lowest to highest for patients 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Patient 4 recognized a few words audition-only. Patients 1 and 2 had long periods of no auditory stimulation; patients 3 and 4 had long periods of auditory stimulation with hearing aids prior to implantation. Tests not revealing differences in performance were identified.
Fifty-two couples in problem marriages and 55 in nonproblem marriages were compared with respect to degree of agreement between spouses in sex role expectations, sex-linked self-conception, and ego development, as measured by, respectively, a new Sex Role Survey, the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, and the Sentence Completion Test. With regard to differences between spouses, those on the Sex Role Survey were associated with problem marriage, whereas those on the Personal Attributes Questionnaire and Sentence Completion Test were not. Age differences of spouses were greater in problem marriages. Relations among measured variables were also examined. Among women, an androgynous self-conception was unrelated to androgynous role expectations; among men, there was a small positive correlation. Ego level was positively related to androgynous role expectations but not to androgynous self-conception. Homogamous mating was shown for ego level and sex role expectations but not for personal attributes. Mean ego level scores for husbands and wives were identical, an unexpected finding.
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.
