Of esteem indicators (by way of cohabitation)
WOMEN eat more unhealthy foods and tend to put on weight when they move in with a male partner, according to a new report by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. On the other hand, a man’s diet tends to become healthier when he starts cohabiting with a female partner - and her influence has a long-term positive impact.
So says an April 5, 2006 press release issued by the university. It pertains to a study done by Dr. Amelia Lake. Dr. Lake’s home page includes a section headlined:
Esteem Indicators
To persons outside the UK, esteem indicators may seem a strange category to include on a CV, but esteemed persons inside the UK would likely explain, if asked, that these indicators are intended to be non-self esteem indicators rather than the self-esteem indicators that are so popular in the USA and in the Slovak Republic.
