Studies have indicated that Finns have particularly high intelligence by European standards. However, the causes are unclear. It may be an ancient adaptation to a harsh yet stable ecology or a reflection of more recent demographic factors. We test the hypothesis of ancient adaptation by exploring average IQ and related proxies, in the Finns and among genetically related peoples: Estonians, and Russia’s Finno-Ugric speaking minorities. Employing national and regional level data, we find evidence indicating elevated intelligence among Finno-Ugrics, consistent with relatively high Finnish IQ being more than simply a recent phenomenon. We examine anomalies raised by these tentative findings, such as relatively low per capita science Nobel Prize achievement among Finns and our finding of a negative association between suicide rate and Finno-Ugric percentage in a population.","PeriodicalId":35516,"journal":{"name":"Mankind Quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47518737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, the Arabic Scale of Mental Health (ASMH) was developed on the basis of positive indicators of mental health. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations between ASMH scores and Big-Five (BF) personality trait scores. A convenience sample of Egyptian college students (n = 1,418) responded to the ASMH and the Arabic Big Five Personality Inventory (ABFPI). Both scales have acceptable to good reliability and validity. Men obtained significantly higher mean scores than women on mental health, Extraversion, and Openness, whereas women scored significantly higher than men on Neuroticism. All correlations between mental health and BF scores were statistically significant and positive except for Neuroticism (negative). A principal components analysis extracted two components labeled: positive traits and social adjustment versus negative emotions. Stepwise regression indicated that the predictors of ASMH scores were all the BF scores for men and all the BF scores except Agreeableness for women. This study shows that mental health is associated with, and can be predicted by, personality traits. The Big-Five personality traits have no theoretical basis and it would, therefore, be interesting in future research to explore whether mental health is associated with and predicted by biologically based temperaments.","PeriodicalId":35516,"journal":{"name":"Mankind Quarterly","volume":"61 1","pages":"918-935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44252488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the role of civil society for democracy in developing countries is widely debated in academic and political discourse, there is far less research about the role of labor unions in transitions to and consolidation of democratic government. This paper presents the activities of labor unions in political transitions in Nigeria as a case study, and especially their role since the inception of the current democratic dispensation in 1999. The data for this research were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data were collected through interviews with stakeholders on labor and democratic issues. A total of 28 respondents were interviewed. The secondary data for the study were derived from books, journal articles, magazines and newspaper articles, reliable and verifiable internet materials. The evidence shows that labor unions played a very significant role in the history of Nigerian democracy but were not continuing with the commendable role they had played in the fight against military rule. In order to promote a prosperous future for both democracy and organized labor in Nigeria, it is recommended that the role of centralized trade unionism should be constitutionally restored.","PeriodicalId":35516,"journal":{"name":"Mankind Quarterly","volume":"61 1","pages":"872-900"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41975513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
