Book Gender and Morality based Judgments in and Out of the Courtroom

Download or read book Gender and Morality based Judgments in and Out of the Courtroom written by Vivian Rotenstein and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In and outside of legal settings, judgments and decisions are made on a daily basis based on an individual's gender or cultural group. Legally, gender can affect jurors' perceptions of case facts, their deliberation behavior, and final verdicts. Gender is also especially relevant in sexual misconduct cases, influencing a victim's decision to report an incident or pursue legal action, or shaping jurors' and judges' perceptions of culpability and forgiveness. In a non-legal context,decisions we make in response to morally ambiguous situations can be influenced by cultural ideals. This dissertation examines the role of juror gender in the prosecution of sexual misconduct cases, and in civil jury dynamics and decisions. It also examines the role of culture in moral decision-making. The first paper of this thesis explores the phenomenon of Himpathy - or excessive sympathy afforded onto male perpetrators of sexual misconduct - in the context of sexual harassment. It finds that sexist attitudes against women are associated with heightened trust, forgiveness, and sympathy towards a male perpetrator, and lower trust and sympathy towards a female victim. The second paper explores the role of juror gender in shaping deliberation dynamics and liability and damage award decisions. Juror gender did not affect rates of interruptions or mentions of numeric information during a deliberation, or individual damage award estimates. The final paper explores the role of culture and the presence of a loved one in solving moral quandaries. It provides evidence that Chinese participants are more likely to save a set of strangers over their loved one in the face of death, but that this preference does not hold for situations involving emotional or economic losses.

Book Victims of More Than Just Bias

Download or read book Victims of More Than Just Bias written by Anthony J. Ferraro and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In conjunction, these two methods provide a more balanced approach to the assessment of gender discrepancies in sexual harassment claims. Using a combination of actual claims of sexual harassment and survey data, rather than just one or the other, allows for direct comparison between perception and reality. The comparison of perception and reality allows for a more complete assessment of the state of sexual harassment claims as they relate to victim's gender. With a more complete assessment of sexual harassment claims and perceptions of sexual harassment it may be possible to bring to light potential injustices caused by gender or gender stereotyping, and correct any imbalances that may be present.

Book Women and Sexual Harassment

Download or read book Women and Sexual Harassment written by Robert C Berring and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a valuable guide that saves researchers investigating sexual harassment in the workplace enormous amounts of time and money. Focusing on the hostile environment claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Women and Sexual Harassment is a complete resource tool. In one easy-to-use volume, it provides a detailed background and history of the hostile environment claim as well as an extensive guide on how to use and where to find the best resources available on this topic. Unlike some legal books, Chan’s book does not require cover-to-cover reading to access pertinent information. Anyone, whether they are interested in the specifics of the hostile environment claim or sexual harassment in general, will be able to locate the information they’re looking for with the help of this handy guide. It saves enormous amounts of time, effort, and money for researchers by providing extensive listings and evaluations of statutes, cases, agency decisions, law review articles, annotations, and books containing information on this subject. Readers can use the book to get a better understanding of the hostile environment claim or use it like a dictionary to pinpoint the specific resources that will be most useful to their area of research. Women and Sexual Harassment is logically divided into five complete parts to make it easy to use: Part 1: Clearly explains how to best use the book to access specific information. Part 2: Describes the history and present state of the hostile environment claim in a manner that is to the point, yet is more thorough than descriptions of the claim found in articles, cases, or other sources. Part 3: Research guide--Directs researchers to the best sources for information, categorized by type and area. Includes tips that will save hours in the library and will help researchers find the most up-to-the-minute articles and cases. Part 4: Bibliography of primary legal sources--Covers statutes, regulations, and case law on the hostile environment claim and sexual harassment. Part 5: Bibliography of secondary sources--Includes books, articles, surveys, and legislative history. The annotated bibliography, broken down by type of source and type of information, not only points researchers in the right direction but also steers them away from sources that seem valuable from their title, but are in fact not worthwhile. The insightful written analysis of the hostile environment claim alone provides researchers unfamiliar with the subject with a clearly written history and definition of the claim, its key elements, employer liability, statute of limitations, remedies, considerations of discovery and evidence, and related claims. Women and Sexual Harassment is an invaluable guide for all types of researchers including victims of sexual harassment considering filing a hostile environment claim, scholars interested in women’s issues, attorneys unfamiliar with this area, employers interested in limiting their liability by taking steps to prevent sexual harassment in their workplaces, and law students in any level of courses related to sex discrimination or sexual harassment.

Book Perceptions of Sexual Harassment as a Function of Authority and Gender

Download or read book Perceptions of Sexual Harassment as a Function of Authority and Gender written by Lauren E. Bergh and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual harassment is a universal issue that can have negative psychological consequences for individuals experiencing it. Although commonly experienced, there is a large discrepancy between the number of actual cases of sexual harassment and the number of cases reported. Previous research has focused either on differing levels of authority, gender of the perpetrator and victim, or participant gender in perceptions of sexual harassment. This experiment investigated the impact of all three variables. Student participants were given a definition of sexual harassment, read a short scenario describing potentially harassing behavior perpetrated by a man or woman of differing authority levels (high or low) and rated the responsibility of both the "harasser" and "victim" for the behavior. Participants also completed a sexual harassment attitude scale. A 2x2x2 between-subjects MANCOVA (with sexual harassment attitudes and previous experience with sexual harassment entered as covariates) failed to find significant results. A 2x2x2x2 mixed ANCOVA (with "harassment status" (harasser vs. victim) as the within-subjects variable) found that harassers were blamed more regardless of harasser gender, harasser status, and gender of the participants. In addition, male harassers resulted in more blame overall. Implications, limitations, and potential research are discussed.

Book Critical Perspectives on Sexual Harassment and Gender Violence

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Sexual Harassment and Gender Violence written by Bridey Heing and published by Enslow Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While awareness of sexual harassment and gender-based violence has increased in recent years, there is still much debate about what constitutes harassment, what motivates gender violence, and how best to combat both issues. The impact of this particular kind of aggression is real; it impacts the ability of women and other victims to go to school or work safely, and leaves many either dead or forced to live with long-term emotional or physical effects. This book explores the many facets of the conversation surrounding sexual harassment and gender violence, so that students understand the causes, forms, and impact of these two interconnected issues.

Book Clinical Aspects of Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination

This book was released on 2004-03-20 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the psychological impact of sexual harassment and gender discrimination from both a clinical and theoretical perspective, whereas previous literature on the topic has emphasized legal and employment consequences. To start, Lenhart provides a comprehensive summary and integration of existing literature and discusses relevant aspects of the workplace and legal environments. The second portion of the book deals with the psychodynamics of sexual harassment and gender discrimination, placing these violations in proper psychological perspective, along the same lines as rape, battering and other forms of gender-based abuse. The wide spectrum of psychological consequences of discrimination will be discussed and an effective and integrative model for intervention and treatment will be presented.
