TL;DR: A questionnaire for evaluating energy expenditure in leisure time physical activity (LTA) along with information about its validity is presented in this paper, which is valid for use in longitudinal studies in North America of the relationship of physical activity to disease, in weight control clinics and in other researches in which leisure-time physical activity is of interest.

TL;DR: It is argued that behavioral differentiation of the sexes is minimal when children are observed or tested individually, and sex differences emerge primarily in social situations, and their nature varies with the gender composition of dyads and groups.
Abstract: This article argues that behavioral differentiation of the sexes is minimal when children are observed or tested individually Sex differences emerge primarily in social situations, and their nature varies with the gender composition of dyads and groups Children find same-sex play partners more compatible, and they segregate themselves into same-sex groups, in which distinctive interaction styles emerge These styles are described As children move into adolescence, the patterns they developed in their childhood same-sex groups are carried over into cross-sex encounters in which girls' styles put them at a disadvantage Patterns of mutual influence can become more symmetrical in intimate male-female dyads, but the distinctive styles of the two sexes can still be seen in such dyads and are subsequently manifested in the roles and relationships of parenthood The implications of these continuities are considered Language: en

TL;DR: Children were exposed to aggressive and nonaggressive adult models and were then tested for amount of imitative learning in a new situation in the absence of the model, and predicted that observation of subdued nonaggressive models would have a generalized inhibiting effect on the subjects' subsequent behavior.
Abstract: Aprevious study, designed to account for the phenomenon of identificatio n in terms of incidental learning, demonstrated that children readily imitated behavior exhibited by an adult model in the presence of the model (Bandura & Huston, 1961). A series of experiments by Blake (1958) and others (Grosser, Polansky, & Lippitt, 1951; Rosenblith, 1959; Schachter & Hall, 1952) have likewise shown that mere observation of responses of a model has a facilitating effect on subjects' reactions in the immediate social influence setting. While these studies provide convincing evidence for the influence and control exerted on others by the behavior of a model, a more crucial test of imitative learning involves the generalization of imitative response patterns to new settings in which the model is absent. In the experiment reported in this paper children were exposed to aggressive and nonaggressive adult models and were then tested for amount of imitative learning in a new situation in the absence of the model. According to the prediction, subjects exposed to aggressive models would reproduce aggressive acts resembling those of their models and would differ in this respect both from subjects who observed nonaggressive models and from those who had no prior exposure to any models. This hypothesis assumed that subjects had learned imitative habits as a result of prior reinforcement, and these tendencies would generalize to some extent to adult experimenters (Miller & Bollard, 1941). It was further predicted that observation of subdued nonaggressive models would have a generalized inhibiting effect on the subjects' subsequent behavior, and this effect would be reflected in a difference between the nonaggressive and the control groups, with sub
