Perinatal death affects nearly one-third of all pregnant women (Toedter, Lasker, & Alhadeff, 1988). Of the different forms of perinatal death, this study explored the psychological impact of grief and stress in couples who experienced a miscarriage. Using the Grief Experience Inventory—Loss Version and The Impact of Event Scale, this study specifically looked at the differences between the couple in how they grieve and experience the stress of the miscarriage. Profile analyses indicated that the women's overall response pattern to the bereavement scales was different from their partners. In addition, women reported significantly higher Intrusive Distress than their partners. Results suggest that a miscarriage affects the woman and her partner, as well as the relationship of the couple. The major purpose of this investigation was to study the psychological experience of a miscarriage, and to determine if women and their partners experience the loss differently.

The purpose of this study was to examine college students' knowledge of intense levels of music on their hearing and the effects of safe listening habits. Method: Four hundred college students (100 each freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors) were surveyed on their knowledge of safe listening levels of personal listening devices (PLDs). Results: College students' knowledge of safe PLD-listening levels was related to gender, college class, and PLD-pattern use. A statistically significant relationship between gender and PLD-pattern use was found: C 2 (1, N = 399) = 8.72, p = .003, Φ = .15. More males reported heavy PLD use and were less knowledgeable than females regarding safe PLD use. Significant relationships were also found between college class N
