[quote]Table 1: Characteristics of Liming

Carnival mentality was seen as having two dimensions: during carnival season and outside of carnival period. During the carnival season, carnival mentality has been viewed as a “time to free upâ€

Middle age Indian woman syndrome was neither clearly nor consistently defined within one category. It was referred to as Indian women who stay at home, are extremely obsessional about their family and who neglect their physical appearance. In addition, the syndrome was seen as being associated with behaviour directed to recapture a youthful past, being fat around the waist and complaining of pains in the joints, forever quarrelling with the children and husband and having extra marital affairs.

The Middle-Age Indian Woman Syndrome is a somatoform disorder of mostly female Indo-Trinidadians who present for treatment with multiple somatic complaints at clinics and hospitals. This was rejected by the respondents, as it was not clearly or consistently defined within one particular dimension. This in itself gave statistical credibility to the respondents' responses by incorporating an entity known in the medical circles and testing it within the general population

it have a middle age indian woman syndrome???? wha yuh does take fuh dat so?

The author of this got some backlash from colleagues. Very good research that if applied could create a much better understanding of our behaviour. It may be a little outdated by now though.

Reads like rumshop talk.

Nati's Gunta definition was far more scientific than this sheit.

I dont like the language either (from the parts i read), dont know how this could be published....but the again it is the social sciences

[cacasplat3]

the language is backward for something that is supposed to be a serious report/paper.

the point of a report/paper is to fully inform the reader.....there are many things stated that weren't elaborated upon to educate the ignorant.......nor does it prove anything substantial because the sampled 536 people represents less than 0.05% of the population.....

also, including the glossary, abstract, and appendix, it comes up to about 6200 words........a report/paper on recognition of behaviour is supposed to be much longer.....

FAIL imo.......
