Study Says Feminine Women Prone To Accidents
A Los Angeles study by psychologist Joan Guilford with 226 women found accident proneness linked to feminine appearance and personality traits. In a model kitchen, observers recorded 714 accidents and 767 near misses, noting shorter, more emotional, less organized women were most at risk while taller, calmer women trained in safety reduced incidents. Colorado School of Mines students staged a humorous LBJ versus Bobby burro race, LBJ winning when Bobby ran the wrong way.
