Download or read book Exploring University Students Gender Role Attitudes and Their Effects written by Chinangure Farai and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on a research on gender attitudes and the extent to which they impact on the sexuality and response towards HIV/AIDS preventive strategies by university students. A sample of 80 students was selected randomly from four faculties and 4 student affairs staff members. Half of these students from each faculty were male students and the other half comprised females. Questionnaires, interviews and observation were used to collect data which was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. A Chi-square test of significance was used to ascertain the gender differences in attitudes towards sexuality. Results indicated that attitudes towards sexuality were gender based. Response to HIV/AIDS preventive strategies was mainly influenced by gender stereotypes and cultural beliefs about what it means to be a man or good woman. A lot of labeling and stigmatization of female's students by males was prevalent in the institution as indicated by the language used by males to describe students of the opposite sex.There was a need to deconstruct gender stereotypes.
Download or read book Child Psychology written by Lawrence Balter and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of Child Psychology continues the tradition of showcasing cutting-edge research in the field of developmental science, including individual differences, dynamic systems and processes, and contexts of development. While retaining a similar structure to the last edition, this revision consists of completely new content with updated programmatic research and contemporary research trends and interests. The first three sections highlight research that is organized chronologically by age: Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence. Within each section, individual chapters address contemporary research on a specific area of development, such as learning, cognition, social, and emotional development at that period in childhood. The fourth section, Ecological Influences, emphasizes contextual influences relevant to children of all ages, including risk and protective processes, family and neighborhood context, race and ethnicity, peer relations, the effects of poverty, and the impact of the digital world. Child Psychology also features a unique focus on four progressive themes. First, emphasis is placed on theory and explanation—the "why and how" of the developmental process. Second, explanations of a transactional and multidimensional nature of development are at the forefront of all chapters. Third, the multi-faceted approach to development highlights contextual influences and cultural diversity among children from different communities and backgrounds. Finally, methodological innovation is a key concern, and research tools presented across chapters span the full array available to developmental scientists who focus on different systems and levels of analysis. The thoroughness and depth of this book, in addition to its methodological rigor, make it an ideal handbook for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and advanced students across a range of disciplines, including psychology, education, economics and public policy.
Download or read book Gender Roles and the Single Sex Environment written by Rose M. Scioli and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether or not the single-sex environment has an effect on the gender role perceptions and life paths of young women. Students were selected from two urban high schools, one all-girls and one coeducational. The schools themselves are located a short distance from each other to ensure consistency in regards to socioeconomic status. This study used a mixed methods analysis. Female students in their senior year of high school were surveyed using a gender role perception inventory (Prasad & Baron, 2009). Ten students from the original sample, five from each site, were then selected for in-depth, face-to-face interviews. Results indicate that there is little difference in gender role perception and life path between the two samples. The only exception is in the area of gender role reversal, which favors the single-sex school. As such, students from the single-sex school are more likely to indicate comfort with the inversion of conventional gender roles. In terms of life path, no significant difference between the two groups was found in terms of traditional, non-traditional, and gender-neutral career plans. Interviews with students from both sites reveal two major differences thematically. Students in the single-sex school reported that the decision to attend an all-girls school was mostly made by their parents, while students in the coeducational school reported making the decision themselves. The second difference between the two environments is that students in the single-sex school reported that they and their peers in the school feel quite comfortable acting "themselves" because of the lack of males in the environment. The students in the coeducational school corroborated that sentiment by expressing the tendency of their female peers to act differently in the presence of male peers. The results of this study do not conclusively prove that the single-sex environment is beneficial for the formation of non-traditional gender role perception and life path, with the exception of the reversal finding. The interviews, however, may indicate that the students in the single-sex environment have an advantage in terms of comfort because of the absence of their opposite sex peers. Indisputably, this study confirms that more research is needed in the area of single-sex education for females.

Download or read book Gender Roles written by Carole A. Beere and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1990-03-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beere has produced a new edition of her Women and Women's Issues: A Handbook of Tests and Measurements. Based largely on a search of the PsychLIT and ERIC databases from January 1978 to December 1988, the volume includes information on 211 tests and measures pertaining to gender roles and attitudes towards gender. . . . Particularly useful are chapter reviews of the literature in which the author reviews the quality of available research. Recommended for college and university libraries. Choice This handbook stems, in part, from the author's previously published Women and Women's Issues. Realizing that a book published in 1979 could no longer provide researchers with the up-to-date information they require regarding measures to use in research, Beere set out to revise and update her work. In the process, she soon discovered that the measures identified through her search of the literature produced since her first book was published far exceeds the number that can be realistically described in a single handbook. Thus, she has undertaken a two-volume guide, the first of which, Gender Roles, describes only those measures pertaining to gender roles and attitudes toward gender-related issues. Gender roles are broadly defined to include adults' and children's gender roles, gender stereotypes, marital roles, parental roles, employee roles, and multiple roles. A total of 211 measures are included. In addition to 67 scales still in use that were described in her earlier book, Beere includes scales that are relevant, have evidence of their reliability and/or validity, and are used in more than one published article or ERIC document. If a scale does not satisfy these criteria, but its development is the focus of an article or ERIC document, it is included, as are scales that are unusual or pertain to a topic that would otherwise receive inadequate coverage in this handbook. The scale descriptions follow a standard format that includes the following information: title; author or authors as listed in the earliest publication mentioning the scale; earliest date that the scale is mentioned in a publication; profile of variable being measured; type of instrument; description; sample items; previous and appropriate subjects; scoring information; a description of the development of the measure; information regarding reliability and validity; and a listing of published studies that use the measure. This important new handbook promises to make several important contributions to gender-related research. It will make it easier for researchers to locate quality instruments appropriate for their research, discourage the proliferation of substandard or redundant measures, set some minimal standards for measures used in gender role research, and encourage more research regarding gender roles. All social science libraries will want to find a place for it in their reference collections.

Download or read book Gender and Teaching written by Frances A. Maher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender and Teaching provides a vivid, focused, and interactive overview of important gender issues in education today. This is aocomphshed through conversations among experts, practitioners, and readers that are informed by representative case studies and by a range of theoretical approaches to the issues. Gender and Teaching is the third volume in Reflective Teaching and the Social Conditions of Schooling: A Series for Prospective and Practicing Teachers, edited by Daniel P. Liston and Kenneth M. Zeichner. It follows the same format as previous volumes in the senes. Part I includes four cases dealing with related aspects of gendered experiences In schools (non-sexist elementary school curricula; gender and race implications of special education assignment practices; homophobia in high schools and classrooms; and teaching as a woman’s profession), followed by reactions from preservice and practicing teachers, administrators, and professors. Part II is an elaboration of four “public argurnents”—conservative, liberal, women-centered, and radical-multicultural-—pertaining to the issues raised in Part I. These arguments exemplify dusters of orientations, organized around general values rather than hard and fast principles. Part lii presents the authors’ own interpretations of the issues raised throughout the book, and provides activities and topics for reflection and an annotated bibliography of additional resources.
Download or read book Gender Roles and Future Possible Selves Related to Career and Work family Balance written by Mary Elizabeth Hildenbrand and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of college students' attitudes about gender roles related to work and family roles in two ways: First, participants' attitudes about gender in various domains, including work, home, stereotypes about women, and women's rights were measured by the Gender Attitude Inventory, and second, participants' personal aspirations and fears for the future were assessed using a Possible Selves Questionnaire. Overall, the most frequently described hoped-for possible selves were related to Occupation, Family, and Material, and the most popular feared possible selves were categorized as Material, Relationships, Family, Abilities and Education, and Occupation. Although significant gender differences were not found in the types of possible selves described by this sample, there were significant differences among African American and Caucasian participants. Surprisingly, African Americans described fewer hoped-for possible selves related to Family and fewer feared possible selves related to Relationships than did Caucasians. As for the Gender Attitude Inventory, this sample's responses appeared to be more conservative than Ashmore, Del Boca, and Bilder's (1995) original sample. The most traditional beliefs in this sample were associated with Chivalry and Individual Action. It would be useful for future research to examine possible regional differences in responses to the GAI to determine whether the current sample's more traditional attitudes about gender are a function of region or of social and political trends. Perhaps the most noteworthy recommendation that can be made from this study is the importance of further research and education about gender and societal structures that maintain current power differentials not just due to gender, but also to race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability status, and age. The findings from this study clearly supported how tightly individuals cling to traditional gender roles in the areas of work, family, and politics and how resistant to change these societal structures really are. A more detailed discussion of the current findings, as well as their implications are presented. Together, the Gender Attitude Inventory and Possible Selves Questionnaire allowed for a rich depiction of the sample's gender attitudes about work and family roles.

Download or read book Gender Roles in Ireland written by Margret Fine-Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Roles in Ireland: three decades of attitude change documents changing attitudes toward the role of women in Ireland from 1975 to 2005, a key period of social change in this society. The book presents replicated measures from four separate surveys carried out over three decades. These cover a wide range of gender role attitudes as well as key social issues concerning the role of women in Ireland, including equal pay, equal employment opportunity, maternal employment, contraception etc. Attitudes to abortion, divorce and moral issues are also presented and discussed in the context of people’s voting behaviour in national referenda. Taken together, the data available in these studies paint a detailed and complex picture of the evolving role of women in Ireland during a period of rapid social change and key developments in social legislation. The book brings the results up to the present by including new data on current gender role issues from Margret Fine-Davis' latest research.
Download or read book Still Failing at Fairness written by David Sadker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite decades of effort to create fair classrooms and schools, gender bias is alive and well, and in some ways growing. School practices continue to send boys and girls down different life paths, too often treating them not as different genders but as different species. Teachers and parents often miss the subtle signs of sexism in classrooms. Through firsthand observations and up-to-the-minute research, Still Failing at Fairness brings the gender issue into focus. The authors provide an in-depth account of how girls' and boys' educations are compromised from elementary school through college, and offer practical advice for teachers and parents who want to make a positive difference. The authors examine today's pressing issues -- the lack of enforcement for Title IX, the impact of the backlash against gender equity, the much-hyped "boys' crisis," hardwired brain differences, and the recent growth of singlesex public schools. This book documents how teaching, current testing practices, and subtle cultural attitudes continue to short-circuit both girls and boys of every race, social class, and ethnicity. Hard-hitting and remarkably informative, Still Failing at Fairness is "a fascinating look into America's classrooms" (National Association of School Psychologists).
Download or read book Adolescents Gaining Awareness and Overcoming the Socialization of Gender Roles written by Tanya Racquel Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gender role workshop was developed in order to enhance the awareness of the depiction of socially accepted and expected roles in which one should adhere. This program is designed to broaden the awareness of the standard roles one may abide by according to gender. Broadening the awareness of such roles will hopefully allow high school students to rethink and alternate their thinking process of gender stereotypes, elevate their perceptions of such exposures from school books, television, magazines, and hopefully limit negative views of gender roles. Understanding the characteristics and demonstrations of depicted views in children's book and media will hopefully empower students to increase self-confidence, and enable them to become receptive to a multitude of career opportunities, and strengthen the appreciation for differences in family and peers attitudes, choices, behaviors, and gender roles they partake in.
