Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to examine relationships among biographical characteristics, psychological characteristics, motives for returning to school, and the need for student support services among Reentry Women. Primary objectives were to: (1) examine biographical and psychological characteristics of Reentry Women to determine if significant relationships existed among the variables; (2) replicate Maslin's (1978) study of Reentry Women; (3) determine whether motives for returning to higher education among Reentry Women could be grouped into patterns and if Reentry Women could be grouped into motive-types; (4) determine if significant relationships existed between: motive-types and biographical characteristics, motive-types and sex-typedness, or motive-types and attitudes toward women's role in society; (5) assess use of student support services by Reentry Women and satisfaction with services received; (6) determine if significant differences existed between community college and university Reentry Women with respect to biographical characteristics, psychological characteristics, motives or evaluation of student support services; and (7) utilize research findings to develop recommendations for student services personnel in community colleges and universities. One hundred undergraduate women over twenty-five, who had returned to higher education seeking a degree or certificate, comprised the sample. A four-part comprehensive questionnaire which included the Continuing Education Women Motives Questionnaire, Personal Attributes Questionnaire, Feminism II Scale, and Personal Background Questionnaire was administered to subjects during scheduled times on campus or at a time and place convenient for the subject. Statistical methods utilized to test research hypotheses included chi square, t-test, factor analysis and typal analysis. Relationships significant at the .05 level of confidence were found between: (1) biographical characteristics and attitude toward women's role in society; (2) biographical characteristics and sex-typedness; and (3) biographical characteristics and motive-types. Significant differences in biographical characteristics and attitude toward women's role in society were found between university and community college Reentry Women. Recommendations for further research and for targeting student support services were made. A recommendation that a research center be established to examine the long-term impact of education upon wo men and society was also suggested.

Download or read book Engendering Psychology written by Florence Denmark and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engendering Psychology's treatment of issues is based solidly on scientific evidence and presented in a balanced manner. The text combines a developmental and topical approach. Denmark, Rabinowitz, and Sechzer explore the concept of gender as a social construction across the lines of race, ethnicity, class, age, and sexual orientation, pulling from the exciting new scholarship that has emerged over the last few years. Thoughtful discussion questions emphasize critical thinking skills, as well as encourage students to open a dialogue with both their professors and their peers. This text will help readers understand the concept of gender as a social construct in contrast to the concept of sex, which denotes biological differences. Upon completing this text, readers will have a deeper understanding of women and the knowledge that "woman" is a diverse and multifaceted category.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Study of Women In Midlife GRACE K. BARUCH AND JEANNE BROOKS-GUNN To describe the middle years-that relatively long span when one is neither young nor old-as a neglected period may no longer be accurate, given current scientific and popular interest in adult development and aging. But midlife is still too often seen merely as a kind of staging area on the way to old age, when one gathers one's forces and tries to stock up on assets-health, money, relationships-that will be needed for the rigors of the last phase of life. The middle years have been characterized more as a transition period than as a time of growth, satisfaction, and creativity. As this volume will show, although midlife is not without its difficulties, it is, for many women, a time of unexpected pleasure, even power. MAJOR THEMES A central theme of this volume is the impact of social change. The influence of economic conditions, of ideology, of the normative timing of such life events as age of marriage and childbearing, are addressed in many chapters from hlany different perspectives. Social changes are shown to have both negative and positive consequences. On the nega tive side, for example, the sex differential in life expectancy is a biosocial phenomenon that greatly restricts the availability of sexual partners-or, more precisely, heterosexual partners-for older women.
