Nongovernmental organizations are deeply enmeshed in global governance, as promoters and, increasingly, subjects of regulation. Focusing on the proliferation of self-regulatory initiatives, this article asks: Why do NGOs adopt governance initiatives? Do their subsequent regulatory experiences match their expectations? It investigates these questions through the analysis of InterAction, the American international NGO alliance, and its PVO Standards. Based on interviews with NGO leaders, it emphasizes collective meaning over material benefit: American NGOs constitute themselves as American NGOs through standards, with which they underscore their professionalism and market orientation. These gains do not accrue equally, however, with large, central organizations perceived to benefit most from regulation. 相似文献
Based on data collected in 1994 from a factorial survey of 2052 respondents, this paper examines how routine conflict may
escalate into aggression taking into account social context and characteristics of the victim and offender. Following Luckenbill
and Doyle's (1989) suggestion, we developed a series of scenarios to examine the influence of structural position on the emergence
of disputes and the legitimation of aggression. The analysis reveals a direct relationship between the intensity of an attack
with the emergence of a dispute and the legitimation of aggression. Results indicate that situational aspects of structural
position do not extend beyond sex differences. This emphasizes the generalizing effect of male on male confrontation in the
legitimation of aggression. The strengths and limitations of scenario-based research for understanding violence in society
are discussed.

Polydrug abusers have been thought to present with characteristic behavior profiles and to suffer from brain damage. In this study, an attempt was made to delineate the behavior characteristics of polydrug abusers using the Personality Inventory developed by Bear and Fedio for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). In addition to a group of normal youths, a contrast group comparable to the polydrug abusers in psychiatric history, education, socioeconomic status, and family history was employed. Results revealed that for almost all traits the scores of polydrug abusers were the most extreme, while those of the controls the least, with the scores of the contrast group falling in between. The inventory correctly classified 87% of the experimental, 81% of the control, and 71% of the contrast group. The profile of personality traits that identified the polydrug abusers considerably overlapped with the profile of TLEs reported by Bear and Fedio, although the significance of the overlap is at present unclear. Future research is suggested to examine a possible limbic system involvement in polydrug abuse.Received his M.D. and F.R.C.P. from University of Toronto.

This article explores men's use of sexual violence against their intimate partner. Although there is a growing body of information about men's use of physical violence, there is less data about men's sexual violence in intimate partnerships. Data were collected from 229 men who were enrolled in an intervention program for men who abuse. Of men in this study, 53% had sexually assaulted their partner at least one time. This article will address the ways in which this sample of men sexually abused their partner and the connection between physical and sexual abuse within their relationships. 相似文献
