1.	Aversion to Women Who Work and Perceived Discrimination Among Euro-Americans and Mexican-Americans Perceptual and Motor Skills 86,3 (June 1998): 1027-1033 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Ammons Scientific, Ltd. Keyword(s): Attitudes; Discrimination, Sex; Women; Work Attitudes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Perceptions of discrimination based on sex are presented for groups of Mexican-American men and women and Euro-American men and women. A measure of aversion to women who work is introduced and attitudes for the four groups are presented. Based on present significant differences and current demographic trends, discrimination based on sex will continue, and cultural attitudes may in fact perpetuate that.

2.	Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators and Older Employees' Attitudes Towards Their Current Jobs Perceptual and Motor Skills 87,2 (October 1998): 407-410 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Ammons Scientific, Ltd. Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Attitudes; Employment; Job Satisfaction Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. It has been suggested that one of most dramatic changes in the workplace over the next decade will be the growing number of older employees. The task of managing, challenging, and motivating this aging work force is expected to be more complex due to varied needs and goals. An analysis of data on 3,358 male workers (45-59 yrs of age) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market--Old Cohort Database on job attitudes indicated that jobs that provided intrinsic motivators or a combination of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators were better received than those that offered only extrinsic motivators.

3.	Predicting Physical Activity and Lifelong Health Through Personal Control and Educational Attainment Perceptual and Motor Skills 128,5 (October 2021): 1998-2013. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00315125211029237 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Control; Educational Attainment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Physical Activity (see also Exercise) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Prior studies have shown that physical activity (PA) is strongly associated with lifelong health and well-being. Thus, analyses of relationships among individual differences, PA, education, and health may provide important insights into the sustainability of PA-related personal development efforts. In this longitudinal study, we tested a proposed model in a data set of 12,686 participants from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY 79). We used hierarchical regressions and bootstrapping to test hypotheses concerning the main effect of personal control on lifetime health, the mediating effect of PA, and the moderating effect of educational achievement. We found that individuals' self-reported PA was positively related to their health status. Additionally, there was a positive mediating effect of self-reported PA on the relationship between personal control and health when the individual's educational level was high, and there was a negative mediating effect of self-reported PA when an individual's educational level was low. Based on these results, we provide relevant government policy suggestions for increasing fitness participation, constructing sports facilities, and encouraging educational institutions to include health education in their efforts.
