Well I don't disagree with either of you (though I do take exception
with some of what John Nichols wrote). My connotation of doctor to
medical physicians is based on culture more than anything else.

address particular concerns they have. This class is not required for Psych majors but

Hi Paul and others,
Speaking of being Supreme Commander of your department, I'm
wondering how many of us do indeed have nicknames. At a conference a couple
of years ago, students were calling each other JaneDog, BillDog, etc., and I
overheard them referring to me as HatchDog. I liked it,
To be fair to the students, they did ask about causes of abstinence, too. It is hard
to word such a question in a politically correct way. Either way you put it, it will
imply something negative. Putting it in the realm of hormones seems to imply an
absence of responsibility for actions or
I do think it was a very good list of questions, and of course because there
are differences in the behavior, there must be causes of those differences,
so that specific question was a good one. I am somewhat skeptical about
psychologists' ability to remember normal explanations for behaviors
Some thoughts about the causes of teenage sexual activity:
1. Mass media. I know, much gets blamed on the media. But it seems like
everything has a sexual component nowadays. Advertising makes great
usage of sex to sell. Movies more than often include a sexual moment.
If one's hormones are

I would agree that the average age of childbirth has
increased in the last century (although I also do not have stats). But
the average age of childbearing does not necessarily correlate with
average age of first sexual experience (read intercourse), thanks to

In support of your point, the age of first marriage has been drifting up over the last

You are right that age at marriage and age at the birth of your first child probably
has been increasing (certainly age of first marriage has been increasing) but I also
know that age at menarche has been steadily decreasing. This is leading to a much
wider gap between when a person

I am a part of a campus committee that is considering, at the

you had experiences with merit pay plans? I am particularly interested

Thanks, in
A few years ago, every department on our campus was to develop a merit
pay plan. If I remember ours correctly, we came up with a weighting
of activities to be considered (something like 65% teaching, 25%
scholarship, and 10% service).
I doubt that this formula drives anyone's career. For a
Our dean has experimented with it, and I am not impressed with hers or
any other merit scheme. If you peg it to student ratings you create a
race to the bottom in quality. And as Mike says, $1000 won't entice a
person to publish more (or give someone competence to publish if they
lack it). It

Well, as Marc has pointed out, just because we are getting married later and
having children later doesn't mean we aren't having sex at a younger age; but
I think when girls were routinely having first babies in their late teens,
they must have been more routinely sexually active by then ;-)
