Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Gender identity development can be an arduous process for many adolescents and emerging adults. Both the paths of gender development and the resulting identities of young people can have a great effect on the development and later lives of these individuals. One difficulty youth can face at this stage is gender role conflict, an issue arising from conflict within male youth associated with gender socialization process. The purpose of this study was to examine gender role conflict in adolescent and emerging adult males and how it affects their resilience, or their ability to "bounce back" from adverse circumstances. Specifically, the study investigated the effects of gender role conflict on male adolescent/emerging adult resilience. Results of the study revealed a complex relationship between male gender role conflict and resilience in this sample. Multiple regression modeling showed that as conflict surrounding the Success, Power and Competition (SPC) pattern increased, these male youth reported more resilience. Conversely, as conflict surrounding the Restrictive Emotionality (RE) pattern increased, male youth sampled reported less resilience. Further study is needed to explore these relationships and their effects in adolescent and emerging adult males more closely. More specifically, research should focus on the gender socialization process, the development of gender role conflict, and its effects on male youth throughout the gender development process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent progress in civil rights for sexual and gender minorities (SGM), ensuring SGM youth experience fairness, justice, inclusion, safety, and security in their schools and communities remains an ongoing challenge. In Growing into Resilience, André P. Grace and Kristopher Wells - co-founders of Camp fYrefly, a summer leadership camp for SGM youth - investigate how teachers, healthcare workers, and other professionals can help SGM youth build the human and material assets that will empower them to be happy, healthy, and resilient. Grace and Wells investigate the comprehensive (physical, mental, and sexual) health of SGM youth, emphasizing the role of caring professionals in an approach that that recognizes and accommodates SGM youth. Throughout, the authors draw upon the personal narratives of SGM youth, emphasizing how research, policy, and practice must act together for them to be able to thrive and fulfill their promise. Both a resource for those professionally engaged in work with sexual and gender minorities and a comprehensive text for use in courses on working with vulnerable youth populations, Growing into Resilience is a timely and transdisciplinary book.

Download or read book Gender Role Conflict and College Men written by Jeffrey Harlan Sellers and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many young men struggle with mental health issues including depression, anxiety, substance abuse and suicide. Further research has shown that many men have an aversion to help seeking, placing them at greater risk for unresolved mental health issues. In the past thirty years, the Gender Role Conflict framework and related research has emphasized the impact of societal gender roles on men's psychological problems. Higher education counselors who are familiar with Gender Role Conflict theory and related research will have a potentially useful skill set in counseling male students. This document overviews the Gender Role Conflict paradigm and highlights the most relevant literature for college counselors. Further, practical ideas are offered to help guide counselors in their work with college males, and suggestions for future research are also provided.
Download or read book Gender Role Conflict in Adolescent Males written by Martha I. Christensen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of gender socialization on psychological functioning has been an area of inquiry since feminist researchers in the 1970s began studying the psychological development of girls and women. This research has established gender as a valuable construct by which psychological development can be understood. As a result, more is known about how growing up female can lead to the development of particular constellations of behaviors, emotions, and experiences, and the atrophying of others. Recently, the impact of gender socialization on boys and men has also become an area of psychological inquiry. However, researchers are just beginning to delineate the gender-specific developmental pathway for males and its accompanying constellations of behaviors, emotions, and experiences. This study will contribute to this growing body of literature by examining the ways in which masculine socialization and its prohibitions against expressing emotional vulnerability affects boys' perceptions of peers and themselves. A sample of adolescent males will be given the Gender Role Conflict Scale for Adolescents (GRCS-A) to measure the amount and type of distress experienced in comparing themselves to the socialized masculine ideal. Participants will then view a videotaped vignette of an adolescent boy expressing vulnerable feelings and behaviors contrary to this ideal. Following the video, participants will describe the boy in the video using the 300-word Adjective Check List (ACL). Pearson product moment correlations will be used to test ten hypotheses related to participants' degrees of gender role conflict and its relationship to five particularly salient ACL subscale scores. Exploratory analysis will also be done using frequency distributions to look at the ten adjectives most frequently used to rate the boy in the video. It is hoped that this study will offer more insight into how gender socialization impacts adolescent boys' identity development, as well as their perceptions of non-traditional masculine behavior.

Download or read book Suicide in Modern Literature written by Josefa Ros Velasco and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the social and contextual causes of suicide, the existential and philosophical reasons for committing suicide, and the prevention strategies that modern fictional literature places at our disposal. They go through the review of Modern fictional literature, in the American and European geographical framework, following the rationales that modern literature based on fiction can serve the purpose of understanding better the phenomenon of suicide, its most inaccessible impulses, and that has the potential to prevent suicide. From the turn of the 20th century to the present, debates over the meaning of suicide became a privileged site for efforts to discover the reasons why people commit suicide and how to prevent this behavior. Since the French sociologist and philosopher Émile Durkheim published his study Suicide: A Study in Sociology in 1897, a reframing of suicide took place, giving rise to a flourishing group of researchers and authors devoting their efforts to understand better the causes of suicide and to the formation of suicide prevention organizations. A century later, we still keep on trying to reach such an understanding of suicide, the nature, and nuances of its modern conceptualization, to prevent suicidal behaviors. The question of what suicide means in and for modernity is not an overcome one. Suicide is an act that touches all of our lives and engages with the incomprehensible and unsayable. Since the turn of the millennium, a fierce debate about the state’s role in assisted suicide has been adopted. Beyond the discussion as to whether physicians should assist in the suicide of patients with unbearable and hopeless suffering, the scope of the suicidal agency is much broader concerning general people wanting to die.
Download or read book The Gender of Suicide written by Katrina Jaworski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on diverse theoretical and textual sources, The Gender of Suicide presents a critical study of the ways in which contemporary society understands suicide, exploring suicide across a range of key expert bodies of knowledge. With attention to Durkheim's founding study of suicide, as well as discourses within sociology, law, medicine, psy-knowledge and newsprint media, this book demonstrates that suicide cannot be understood without understanding how gender shapes it, and without giving explicit attention to the manner in which prevailing claims privilege some interpretations and experiences of suicide above others. Revealing the masculine and masculinist terms in which our current knowledge of suicide is constructed, The Gender of Suicide, explores the relationship between our grasp of suicide and problematic ideas connected to the body, agency, violence, race and sexuality. As such, it will appeal to sociologists and social theorists, as well as scholars of cultural studies, philosophy, law and psychology.

Download or read book The Promise of Adolescence written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.
