Book excerpt: An analysis of the North American hockey scene reveals that violent behavior of varying forms appears to be becoming more entrenched in the hockey subculture. The extent to which violence has permeated the hockey subculture has given rise to much concern on the part of government officials, league officials, spectators, players and the general public. At present, the process through which hockey players are socialized appears to lend itself to the acceptance of violent behavior as a dimension which is required to become a successful hockey player. Research indicates that overt behavior and violence in the hockey subculture may, in large part, be explained by social learning theory: violence displayed on the ice is learned or acquired through a combination of modelling, instruction, and differential reinforcement. As a direct result, acceptable forms and degrees of aggression have been subverted in many cases by unacceptable and illegal violence. The study utilized three distinct methods in examining the nature and causes of violence in hockey: (1) the primary method was the participant-observer approach characteristic of the occupa tional socialization; (2) documentary research which screened media reports, official publication from various organizational levels of hockey, and a number of studies commissioned to examine hockey violence; and (3) an unstructured interview with a sample of pre-professional and professional players. Data was gathered to examine the relationship between hockey violence and the two prevailing theories of aggression and violence (1) instinct, and (2) social learning. A conceptual analysis of the data led to the identification of five distinct, violent roles: the policeman, goon, intimidator, antagonizer, and stickman. The processes associated with selection and socialization into these roles is described. The important influences of professional hockey on violence in amateur hockey are identified and suggestions for constructive change outlined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexually aggressive acts, whether they are experienced or perpetrated, impact individuals functioning on both individual and societal levels. Sexual aggression is defined as the actions of a person engaging in sexual behavior with someone who does not or cannot consent to engage in that behavior. There are multiple pathways involved in the process of the expression of sexual aggression. Social problem-solving (SPS) as a cognitive and behavioral construct, as well as gender roles, constructs of pre-determined schemas, have both been independently shown to play a role in the expression of sexually aggressive behaviors (Nezu, Nezu, & D'Zurilla, 2013, Murnen, Wright, & Kaluzny, 2002). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the differences in gender roles and social problem-solving, as well as the interaction effect between SPS and gender roles will influence attitudes and opinions toward sexual aggression. As such it was hypothesized that gender roles are significantly associated with attitudes on sexual aggression, and social problem-solving is significantly associated with attitudes on sexual aggression and lastly, gender roles and social problem-solving have an interactive effect on attitudes on sexual aggression with social problem-solving influencing attitudes on sexual aggression over and beyond gender roles. In this study, 250 individuals of all sexes were recruited to complete measures to assess gender roles (BSRI & MRNI:SF), social problem-solving (SPSI:R-S), and attitudes on sexual aggression (IRMA). The investigation involved Pearson's product-moment correlations as well as a hierarchical multiple regression in order to assess the relationship between the variables of interest. Partially supporting the hypotheses, total MRNI:SF, representing gender role ideologies, and total SPSI:R-S, representing social problem-solving ability, were significantly associated with IRMA, representing attitudes toward sexual aggression. However, the relationship was not in the hypothesized direction. The last hypothesis was partially supported as the regression model was significant but total SPS did not have an over and above effect on attitudes towards aggression. The data demonstrated non-normal distribution and results were interpreted with caution. In the event that the results of this study are replicated, future research should focus on revealing other possible influencers. Finally, if it is demonstrated that the hypotheses are supported in future research, Emotion Center-Problem-Solving Therapy could be a beneficial treatment for individuals showing accepting attitudes towards sexual aggression.
Download or read book Erotic Preference Gender Identity and Aggression in Men written by Ron Langevin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and challenging re-evaluation of the interrelationship between sexual and gender behavior and aggression. Drawing on a series of previously unpublished controlled research studies on rapists, pedophiles, incest offenders, voyeurs, transsexuals, and homosexuals (among others), the book offers startling new findings- e.g., crossdressing and feminine gender identity in rapists believed to be ultra-masculine, aggressiveness in pedophiles believed to be shy and passive. This book brings a new perspective to understanding sexual anomalies and to the conceptual foundations on which clinical research and treatment of these behaviors rests.
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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender encompasses biological sex but extends beyond it to the socially prescribed roles deemed appropriate for each sex by the culture in which we live. The gender roles we each carry out are highly individualistic, built on our biological and physical traits, appearance and personality, life experiences such as childhood, career and education, and history of sexual and romantic interactions. Each element influences perceptions and expectations. Gender-related experiences influence and shape the ways we think about others and ourselves including self-image, behaviour, mood, social advancement and coping strategies. This new book brings together leading international research devoted to this subject.

Download or read book Criminal Court Consultation written by Richard Rosner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s, those of us who were involved in forensic psychiatry have seen an increase in the interest in our subspecialty. This increased interest has been from psychiatrists, lawyers, judges, and correctional officials as well. As a part of this demand for our services, there has also been an increase in the demand for detailed quality in our reports and testimony. Whether this is the result of the educational efforts of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, the establishment of the American Board of Forensic Psychiatry, the stimulation of thought by the publication of this series, Critical Issues in American Psychiatry and the Law, or Supreme Court decisions such as Ake v Oklahoma is anybody's guess. My experience as an observer of the development of the patient's rights movement was that there was a coalescence of numerous forces, such as the new human rights movement, the active mental health bar, and the development of neuroleptics. I therefore suspect that there are a multitude of factors contributing to the new interest in forensic psychia try and the elevation of the standards of forensic experts. Regardless of the causes, those who are practicing forensic psychiatry today are ex pected to conduct more thorough evaluations and to report findings more completely. No longer will simple conclusory statements be accept able. The forensic psychiatrist is expected to present data in a clear, understandable, detailed, reliable, and competent fashion whether testi fying or in a report.

Download or read book Sport Violence and Society written by Kevin Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is violence an intrinsic component of contemporary sport? How does violence within sport reflect upon the attitudes of wider society? In this landmark study of violence in and around contemporary sport, Kevin Young offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of an issue of central importance within sport studies. The book explores organized and spontaneous violence, both on the field and off, and calls for a much broader definition of ‘sports-related violence’, to include issues as diverse as criminal behaviour by players, abuse within sport and exploitatory labor practices. Offering a sophisticated new theoretical framework for understanding violence in a sporting context, and including a wide range of case-studies and empirical data – from professional soccer in Europe to ice hockey in North America – the book establishes a benchmark for the study of violence within sport and wider society. Through close examination of often contradictory trends, from anti-violence initiatives in professional sports leagues to the role of the media in encouraging hyper-aggression, the book throws new light on our understanding of the socially-embedded character of sport and its fundamental ties to history, culture, politics, social class, gender and the law.
