Habit in Men and Women Practices We Cannot Shake
From the Pittsburg Dispatch a study on force of habit shows how easily routines form and persist. Examples include a man kissing a wounded finger after years of habit, and another who greets his wife at home with a kiss, yet kisses a sister-in-law by mistake. The piece notes habits shape actions, timing, and even mood, with demonstrations of male and female tendencies toward order and routine, and touches on childrearing odds and polygamy since Captain Pemerton.
