Book Adolescent Sexuality

Download or read book Adolescent Sexuality written by Constance H Shapiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an invaluable resource to help professionals understand the broad range of issues and challenges that adolescents face as they grapple with their sexuality. This highly informative volume addresses the most compelling issues of adolescent sexuality. Sexual orientation, acquaintance rape, new social roles, and sexually transmitted diseases are among the numerous topics that social workers confront daily in helping adolescents define and seek solutions to their sex-related concerns. Adolescent Sexuality highlights the importance of innovative approaches and client empowerment in prevention and treatment programs for youth, particularly in this era of declining federal support. This timely volume reveals the reluctance of adolescents to confide in their families; therefore, experts offer valuable suggestions for social workers to strengthen and use community resources--the church, family planning agencies, schools, and support groups--to supplement the efforts of many families.

Book Multidisciplinary Approach in Health  New Strategies from the Perspective of Education  Management  Culture and Gender

Download or read book Multidisciplinary Approach in Health New Strategies from the Perspective of Education Management Culture and Gender written by Sagrario Gomez-Cantarino and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender and culture are the foundations of individual and social identity, which influence the environment at all levels of health care. According to historical and cultural patterns, people learn to relate to their bodies. This situation reveals contrasts in the way bodily functions, and thus health and illness, are conceptualized, used, and valued. In fact, a person's sexuality covers a particularly conflictive field, as it focuses on aspects defined as basic, constructed according to sociocultural concepts, and, therefore, modifiable. Therefore, health promotion understood as a proposal for empowering individuals, families, and communities about their perception of their life and health within their cultural, ethnic, religious, and care context, and influenced by their state of health, becomes important. To this end, we propose the adoption of transdisciplinary approaches that prioritize relational analysis studies in the context of health scenarios for the development of public policies framed in the culture of care, its evolution, economy, and management, highlighting the gender perspective.

Book Readings in the Psychology of Gender

Download or read book Readings in the Psychology of Gender written by Anne E. Hunter and published by Addison-Wesley Longman. This book was released on 2002 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though most research in the psychology of gender highlights the differences between females and males, this supplementary collection of readings also investigates how they are alike. With the aim of providing an accurate picture of gender, the authors have culled readings that not only explore commonalties between females and males, but also probe the unique ways that people of different races, ethnicities, social classes and sexual orientations experience gender. The result is a model that views gender in terms of thinking, feeling, and behaving as the result of a complex interplay among biological, psychological, social and cultural processes.

Book Gender Roles

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carole A. Beere
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • Release : 1990-03-20
  • ISBN : 0313019738
  • Pages : 592 pages

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.

Book Gender Identity and Self esteem in Adolescent and Adult Females

Download or read book Gender Identity and Self esteem in Adolescent and Adult Females written by Lissa Lim and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-esteem is individual's positive or negative attitude toward the self based on selfevaluations. Lifespan research reveals that female's self-esteem is lowest during adolescence. One explanation for this can be derived from the gender intensification hypothesis which proposes that during adolescence there is an increase in gender congruent socialization. This may lead adolescent females to place greater importance on their feminine identity. On the other hand, among adult females, self-esteem has been shown to increase. Some have suggested that this may be due to females' deviation from traditional gender roles, perhaps as a result of a decrease in the importance placed on feminine identity. To date no research has examined the importance of feminine identity as a predictor of the drop in self-esteem in adolescence and subsequent increase during adulthood. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the importance of feminine identity as a moderator of the relationship between gender identity and self-esteem in adolescent and adult females. It was hypothesized that (1) adolescent females would palace greater importance on feminine identity than adult females, (2) feminine and androgynous adolescents would have higher self-esteem than masculine adolescents, (3) masculine adults would have higher self-esteem than feminine adults, and (4) the importance of feminine identity would moderate the relationship between gender identity and self-esteem. A total of 395 adolescent and adult females completed a survey that addressed these hypotheses. Results of the analyses reveal that there are differences in self-esteem based on age, gender identity, and importance of feminine identity. In addition, there is evidence that suggests that importance of feminine identity moderates the relationship between gender identity and selfesteem for the adolescent sample, but not for the adult sample. Implications of the results are discussed.
