This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While intimate partner violence (IPV) is present in all cultures, socio-economic classes and races, the experiences of minority women have been routinely overlooked. Intimate partner violence impacts African American women at a rate higher than any other racial group of women. The Inventory of Beliefs of Wife Beating (IBWB) measures attitudes and beliefs about intimate partner violence. This study examined the responses of African American college students to a modified version (prompted to think specifically of African American relationships) of the IBWB through factor and parallel analyses. This study also examined the gender differences in responses on the IBWB. Additionally, the current study identified if the IBWB correlated with gender role attitudes through the use of the Traditional and Egalitarian Sex Role Scale (TESR). The sample for the investigation consisted of 164 participants. There were eight factors that were retained from the factor analysis and ultimately, four factors after the parallel analysis. The four factors were, "IPV is justifiable", "Women are responsible for IPV", "IPV is beneficial in relationships", and "Responsibility for causing and stopping IPV". Of these four factors, only the first three subscales were viable. There were significant differences in the responses of men and women to the IBWB subscales. The IBWB positively correlated with the TESR in that those that had a more egalitarian view did not support the use of IPV. The results indicate many similarities with the original version of the IBWB, and also differences, mainly through reshaping the subscales, specifically in the development of a new subscale (IPV is beneficial in relationships) and the elimination of four factors (Social advocacy, Offender is responsible, Offender should be punished, and Time in jail). The findings of the first three newly identified factors are most similar to the first two factors of the original scale.

Download or read book African Americans at Risk 2 volumes written by Glenn L. Starks and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all of the progress African Americans have made, they still face many risks that threaten the entire race or place segments in jeopardy of survival. This work examines the widespread problem and suggests solutions. This two-volume set examines the issues and policies that put African Americans at risk in our culture today, utilizing the most recent research from scholars in the field to provide not only objective, encyclopedic information, but also varying viewpoints to encourage critical thinking. The entries comprehensively document how African Americans are treated differently, have more negative outcomes in the same situations than other races, and face risks due to issues inherent in their past or current social and economic conditions. Care is taken to note distinctions between subgroups and not further a "blanket approach" to the diverse members of this minority population. Intended for members of the African American community; societal scholars; students in the fields of health, social studies, and public policy; as well as general readers, this work will provide readers with a deeper understanding of key components affecting the lives of African Americans today.
Download or read book Sex and Gender written by Hilary M. Lips and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are sex and gender really two different things? How malleable is gender identity? Do both gender and sex have to be conceptualized as binaries—as having two distinct but complementary categories? Should we emphasize gender differences, or is that the wrong question? When should we call a gender difference “small”? Are women really “nonaggressive” or does that label stem from stereotyping? How does subtle or “modern” sexism work on its targets? Scholarship on these and other gender-related questions has exploded in recent years. Hilary Lips synthesizes that research for students in an accessible and readable way. Concepts on sex and gender are presented with the social context in which they were developed. As in previous editions, Lips takes a multicultural approach, discussing the gender experiences of people from a wide range of races, cultures, socioeconomic statuses, and gender and sexual identities. She emphasizes empirical research but takes a critical approach to that research.

Book excerpt: This bestselling text presents research about gender and helps students think critically about the differences between research findings and gender stereotypes. It examines the biology and social context in which women and men express gendered behaviors.

To highlight how research findings can relate to people's lives, the book supplements the review of scholarly research with personal, narrative accounts of gender-relevant aspects of people's lives. To emphasize the cross-cultural perspective of gender, the book including a section on diversity in most chapters but also weaves diversity issues throughout the text. The personal narrative and diversity highlights help to balance the research-based scholarship with the personal experience of gender.

Download or read book The Primordial Violence written by Murray A. Straus and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2014! Why do parents hit those they love? What effect does it have on children? What can be done to end this pattern? These are some of the questions explored in The Primordial Violence. Featuring longitudinal data from over 7,000 U.S. families as well as results from a 32 nation study, the book presents the latest research on the extent to which spanking is used in different cultures and the subsequent effects of its use on children and on society. Evidence that shows the relationship between spanking and the subsequent slowing of cognitive development and increase in antisocial and criminal behavior is shown. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies are explored in an accessible fashion. An abundance of high quality research has produced findings that are highly consistent from study to study which show that spanking is a risk factor for aggressive behavior and other social and psychological problems. Because of these findings, the authors argue for policy changes and recommend a drastic reduction in the use of spanking. Policy and practical implications are explored in most chapters. The Primordial Violence highlights: The benefits of avoiding spanking such as the development of better interpersonal skills and higher academic achievement; The link between spanking and behavioral problems and crime; The extent to which spanking is declining and why despite the unusually high level of agreement between numerous studies which found harmful effects from spanking, most parents continue to spank. Part 1 documents the worldwide use of spanking and why parents spank. The possible adverse effects of spanking on children’s behavior and academic achievement, and the potential for violence and criminal behavior in later life, are explored in Parts 2, 3, and 4. Part 5 examines trends in spanking, and suggests what can be done to lower the percent of parents who spank. Contradictory opinions about whether to spank are explored. The book concludes with a call for change in this aspect of parenting which will have profound benefits, for the children and families involved, and society as a whole. Intended for a general audience of readers who are interested in child development and parenting and for advanced undergraduate and/or graduate courses in child abuse, family violence, juvenile delinquency, criminal behavior, social development, sociology of the family, or parenting and family relations taught in psychology, human development, family studies, criminology, education, social work, sociology, and social policy.
Download or read book Qualitative Research written by Wayne L. Davis and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-03-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for college students and focuses on qualitative research. Reading about a problem may be good (a literature review), but learning how to investigate the problem yourself is better. Research is a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information in order to better understand the subject of study. All research involves theory, data collection, and attempts to solve a problem by answering a question. A quantitative research study indicates how variables are numerically related and may be used to determine the method of operandi and to make predictions based on confidence levels; however, a qualitative study indicates why variables are related and may be used to determine motives. In either case, by manipulating the independent variables, the dependent variables may be effectively managed. This book presents information on qualitative research and provides a comprehensive qualitative research study.
