Book The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of the International Psychology of Women written by Fanny M. Cheung and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 1524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing knowledge base in understanding the differences and similarities between women and men, as well as the diversities among women and sexualities. Although genetic and biological characteristics define human beings conventionally as women and men, their experiences are contextualized in multiple dimensions in terms of gender, sexuality, class, age, ethnicity, and other social dimensions. Beyond the biological and genetic basis of gender differences, gender intersects with culture and other social locations which affect the socialization and development of women across their life span. This handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource to understand the intersectionality of gender differences, to dispel myths, and to examine gender-relevant as well as culturally relevant implications and appropriate interventions. Featuring a truly international mix of contributors, and incorporating cross-cultural research and comparative perspectives, this handbook will inform mainstream psychology of the international literature on the psychology of women and gender.

Book The Relationship Among Acculturation Self esteem and Cigarette Use in Mexican American College Students

Download or read book The Relationship Among Acculturation Self esteem and Cigarette Use in Mexican American College Students written by Molly Cain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation has persistently been found to be associated with tobacco use in Latinos, yet the literature disagrees on the direction and the measurement of this relationship. In order to better understand this, as well as provide further evidence for the use of bi-dimensional models of acculturation and the role of mediators, the current study combined these strengths from previous studies within one sample. We examined the degree to which Hispanic and American acculturation is associated with self-esteem and cigarette use in a sample of college aged Mexican-American students. Analyses showed that American acculturation was not associated with cigarette use in the past month, and self-esteem did not mediate this relationship. Hispanic acculturation was associated with reduced self-esteem, while self-esteem predicted a reduction in total cigarettes used for men but not for women. These results indicate that although Mexican-American men and women are effected by acculturation and their individual self-esteem, their health behaviors are affected in a different manner. It is critical to study both the psychological and the cultural variables that could contribute to smoking in order to properly interpret this relationship.

Book The Effects of Acculturation Familism Media and Trait Self objectification on Body Image Concerns of Hispanic and Caucasian Women

Download or read book The Effects of Acculturation Familism Media and Trait Self objectification on Body Image Concerns of Hispanic and Caucasian Women written by Rachel Dickerson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study sought to expand the understanding of the differences between Hispanic and Caucasian women in regards to body image. The predominant thought in body image research appears to be that women of an ethnic minority do not internalize media images to the same level as Caucasian women, and therefore do not experience the same level of dissatisfaction if this ideal is not met. However, the results of this study yielded no significant differences between Hispanics and Caucasians on levels of either trait self-objectification or internalization. Past research had shown that familism and level of acculturation could buffer against negative body esteem, and it was hypothesized that those factors would act as buffers among Hispanic participants. However, correlation analyses for this study found that neither familism nor level of acculturation acted as a buffer among Hispanic participants. There were no significant correlations between body esteem and trait self-objectification, internalization, familism, and acculturation. Furthermore, this study examined how varying levels of skin exposure in pictures affected a woman's level of body esteem. Results yielded no main effect of condition on level of body esteem. It is possible these results are due to the lack of difference between the two ethnicities in regards to internalization and trait self-objectification. Unrealistic media images may have become so pervasive, that the traditional, assumed protective factors of ethnicity and culture are no longer efficacious.

Book A Study of the Relationship of Acculturation and Body Image of Mexican American Women Attending College

Download or read book A Study of the Relationship of Acculturation and Body Image of Mexican American Women Attending College written by Rebekah Ruth Pender and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering all the areas of Hispanic acculturation impacts (e.g. beliefs, values, academic performance, socialization, etc.), a natural extension of that influence would be to body image. With that in mind, this study explored the relationship between the body image and level of acculturation of Mexican American females attending a private university in South Texas. The current research utilized over 100 (N=116) Mexican American women attending college, ages 18-52, in a correlational study. Measures administered in this study were the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) that assessment the perceived current and ideal figure rating of the participant toward her own body, the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) that assessed participant level of acculturation, and a brief demographic survey developed by the researcher to categorize participants based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). This study assessed four null hypotheses regarding the body image, acculturation and Body Mass Index (BMI) of the participant volunteers. Of the four hypotheses, the researcher failed to reject null hypothesis 1 and alternative hypotheses 2, 3, and 4. The results of the study yielded no significant Pearson's r correlation between the Figure Rating Scale (FRS) and the Bidimensional Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (BAS) as was postulated alternative hypothesis 1. Alternative hypothesis 2 failed to be rejected in that of the population surveyed, 70.69% had a body image discrepancy variable of one or greater and reported a smaller number to represent their ideal figure. Alternative hypothesis 3 also failed to be rejected in that among the total participants, over 98% had averaged score of 2.5 or greater on the BAS. The researcher also failed to reject alternative hypothesis 4 in that the FRS positively correlated with the BMI of the participants surveyed, r=.562, p=.000. These results suggest that further investigation into the body image concerns and acculturation of Mexican American women would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Book Latino Children and Families in the United States

Download or read book Latino Children and Families in the United States written by Josefina M. Contreras and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.
