The interrelationships of ego strength (Barron Ego Strength Scale), death anxiety (Death Anxiety Scale), and self-esteem (Texas Social Behavior Inventory) were studied in undergraduate university males (n = 20) and females (n = 59). Significant negative relationships between death anxiety and self-esteem and ego strength, and a significant positive relationship between self-esteem and ego strength were shown by both males and females. Moreover, males showed significantly higher self-esteem and ego strength scores, and significantly lower death anxiety scores than did females.
Two groups of pregnant rats (n = 10) received exposure to either 10% ethanol or water. All male offspring (n = 43) received a six-day preference test (ethanol vs water) at 90 days of age. Fluid consumption scores indicated a significant preference for water by all Ss. However, those animals receiving prenatal ethanol exposure consumed significantly more ethanol during preference testing than did the animals receiving prenatal water exposure.
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.
