 Effect Measure: Lakoff - XVII: reference frames versus framing
Coturnix, in an extremely interesting post on the current discussion of Lakoff, makes the point that there is a difference between systems of government and (what he calls) "personality traits" (by which I take him to mean the preference for one or another hierarchy of moral values, in Lakoff's sense).
Coturnix is probably closer to Lakoff himself in using psychology as a reference point.
Coturnix is also correct that Lakoff conceives of Strict Father and Nurturant Parent as psychological prototypes or ideal types (the center of radial categories), not types of people.

 Function and histology of testes from aged coturnix maintained on different photoperiods.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The prolonged effects of short, medium, and long photoperiods on longevity, cloacal gland size and function, and the testicular morphology of the aged coturnix were studied.
In all testes, the effects of aging were characterized histologically by decreased tubular sperm concentration, increased abnormal sperm and cellular debris, as well as dislodgement of maturing sperm from Sertoli cells.
Also, an increased incidence of cataract formation was recorded in aged coturnix, unrelated to photoperiods.
