Perception of Behavioral Conformity, Imputation of Consensus, and Marital Satisfaction.

Abstract: A PERSON'S dissatisfaction with a situation seems to arise from an "awareness" or a "perception" that things are not going the way the person thinks they should be. Satisfaction seems to derive from a belief that things are indeed going very much the way they should be. Satisfaction is seen to stem from two types of perceived conformity, however; one, from perceived behavioral conformity, the other from imputed consensus on role expectations. In this paper the relationship between these two types of conformity and marital satisfaction is empirically explored.

A note on a cyclical majority problem

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to consider the "dilemma" imposed by the cyclical majority problem in which an imputation set like (1/2, /2, 0), (/2, 0,1/2), (0, 1⁄2, '/2) precludes obtaining a single peaked preference set.1 It will be suggested that the cyclically unstable outcome associated with such problems as how to divide one dollar among three persons operating with a majority rule is more' of a "mathematical dilemma" than one ineluctably produced by individual utility maximizing behavior.
