Our database consists of forty four decisions that for the first time in each state court either explicitly accept or reject the doctrine. The results indicate that this decision is associated with the defendant's behavior and the parties' identities; with the state's politics; and with judges' term length and retention method. However, it has only an indirect association with judges' ideology and gender. This analysis promotes our understanding of the factors that affect judicial decision making in torts, a subject which received almost no empirical attention thus far, while controlling for factual and legal factors.

Self-report questionnaires were administered to 552 same-sex siblings from 248 families. Suggestive linkage was observed between both microsatellites (RS1 and RS3) and the Sibling Relationship Questionnaire Conflict scale (RS1:

Research paper thumbnail of The Psychometric Properties of the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS) and the Concern for Appropriateness Scale (CAS) in Hebrew

European Journal of Psychological Assessment, 2009

A total of 1,294 individuals (1,010 females and 284 males), divided into two samples, completed the RSMS, the CAS, the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire Harm Avoidance Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. With the exception of RSMS Item 12, the total and subscale structure of the English versions of the scales was replicated in both samples. Internal consistencies compared very favorably with those of the original scales. The CAS and the RSMS were moderately correlated yet appeared to be distinct, correlating as expected in opposite directions with harm avoidance and self-esteem. Confirmatory factor analysis justified the use of the RSMS and the CAS as separate scales with two subscales in each. Whereas the fit of our data to the RSMS was...
