Sexual trauma within the military is a widespread issue, and rape myth acceptance has been shown to contribute to its prevalence. Given that the military culture has been shown to lend itself to hypermasculinity and traditional gender role adherence, both of which facilitate aggression toward women, this effect warrants investigation within a military sample. The present study replicated and expanded upon Aosved and Long's (2006) study examining 85 veteran and active duty military members' responses on the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale, Attitudes Toward Women Scale (short form), Neosexism Scale, Male Role Norms Inventory (short form), Modern and Old Fashioned Racism Scale, Modern Homophobia Scale, a modified version of the Economic Belief Scale, Fraboni Scale of Ageism, Religious Intolerance Scale, and the Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale (short form). Findings provide support for the co-occurrence of rape myth acceptance with intolerant attitudes, including sexism, hypermasculine gender role ideology, racism, sexual prejudice, classism, ageism, and religious intolerance, both individually and collectively. These results provide insight into the functioning of intolerant attitudes within a military sample, and provide important insight for future research addressing the association between rape myth acceptance and rape proclivity and the perpetration of military sexual assault.

Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Many different categories of people move into South Africa daily. Each category has its defined purposes for coming here such as seeking opportunities, a better life and in some cases a safe haven. Many South Africans have become intolerant towards immigrants entering the country. In some cases immigrants have to endure name calling, harassment and in more extreme circumstances violent attacks. This study proposes to focus on intolerance in South Africa from 1990 to 2001 and describes whether South Africans have become more intolerant towards immigrants over this period. It therefore focuses on certain groups in the South African society based on ethnicity, level of education and category of employment. A quantitative method is used by means of utilising already existing statistics from the World Value Surveys conducted in 1990, 1995 and 200l. It also takes the form of a longitudinal study by describing xenophobic and intolerant attitudes over an elevenyear period. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elke dag kom verskillende groepe mense na Suid-Afrika. Hulle het ook verskeie redes waarom hulle hierheen kom. Sommige mag gelok word deur die geleenthede wat die land hulle mag bied en ander vlug hierheen op soek na 'n veilige blyplek. Alhoewel hulle hierheen kom vir definitiewe redes, word hulle nie deur alle Suid-Afrikaners verwelkom nie. Hulle word dikwels die slagoffers van aanvalle en word ook gereeld geteister. Die doel van hierdie studie is om verdraagsaamheid in Suid-Afrika te analiseer deur om na vreemdelingsvrees van Suid-Afrikaners teenoor immigrante te kyk. Die studie wil die vlak van verdraagsaamheid tenoor immigrante vanaf 1990 tot 2001 beskryf. Klem word op spesifieke groepe van Suid-Afrikaners geplaas naamlik rasse groep, die vlak van geletterdheid so wel as werkskategorie. Die studie gebruik dus 'n kwantitatiwe navorsingrnetode en statistieke van die World Value Surveys wat in 1990, 1995 en 2001 gedoen is. Dit beoog om die veranderinge in verdraagsaamheid oor 'n periode van elf jaar te beskryf.

Hyperacusis is a condition that is described by abnormal reactions to ordinary sounds, however, because of its complexity and newness, this diagnosis still lacks centralized definition and established prevalence rates. Previous research has attempted to define the condition and establish measurements. The Noise Sensitivity Scale (NSS) has been examined several times and new questionnaires have been produced, one being Umeå Hyperacusis Questionnaire (UHQ) produced by Paulin et al. (2019). The latter has not been analyzed in regards to its ability to measure hyperacusis. The current study used exposure data from Paulin et al. (2019) to compare UHQ and NSS abilities to measure the different elements of hyperacusis; the study aimed to a) compare ratings of intensity, concentration, and unpleasantness between UHQ and NSS; b) determine the validity of UHQ. The sample consisted of 64 participants and analyses conducted were linear regression, logistic regression, factor analysis and repeated measures ANOVA. The results indicate that UHQ was greater at measuring intensity, while NSS more accurately measured unpleasantness and concentration. The abilities of the former differed when time was taken in consideration and showed significance in relation to unpleasantness across the lab exposure. The studies suggest that future research should investigate and include more elements that constitute hyperacusis and attempt to increase the sample size. / Hyperacusis är ett tillstånd som karaktäriseras av onormala reaktioner på vanliga ljud, men på grund av att diagnosen är relativt ny och med komplex sjukdomsbild saknas det fortfarande en centraliserad definition och fastställd prevalens. Tidigare forskning har arbetat med att definiera konceptet och utveckla mätinstrument; Noise Sensitivity Scale (NSS) har brukats i flertalet studier och nya enkäter har skapats, bland annat Umeå Hyperacusis Questionnaire (UHQ) av Paulin et al; UHQ har inte analyserats avseende dess förmåga att tillförlitligt mäta hyperacusis. Denna studie använde exponeringsdata från Paulin et al. (2019) för att jämföra UHQ och NSS med avseende på att mäta de olika elementen i hyperacusis. Studien syftade till att a) jämföra självuppskattning av intensitet, koncentration och obehag mellan UHQ och NSS; b) fastställa validitet av UHQ. Urvalet bestod av 64 deltagare och genomförda analyser var linjär regression, logistisk regression, faktoranalys och repeated measures ANOVA. Resultaten visade att UHQ var bättre på att mäta intensitet, medan NSS var lämpligare att mäta obehag och koncentration. UHQs förmåga att mäta obehag skilde sig när tid togs i beaktande och blev då signifikant. Framtida forskning borde undersöka och inkludera fler element som utgör hyperacusis och försöka öka urvalsstorlek.

M.Ed. / Ondersoek na die behoefte aan Godsdiensonderrig in swart sekondere skole in die Vaaldriehoek, vorm die tema van hierdie verhandeling. Godsdiensonderrig is een van die verpligte vakke wat in skole onder die toesig van die vorige Departement van Onderwys en Opleiding onderrig word. Godsdiensonderrig is 'n verpligte vak vanaf graad 1 tot standerd 10. Die fokus van hierdie studie lig die aktualiteit van die probleem uit. Vorige wetgewing in Suid-Afrika het nie net die vak verpligtend gemaak nie, maar ook net aandag gegee aan die Christelike godsdiens in staatskole. Na die verkiesing in 1994, het daar 'n nuwe interim regering aan bewind gekom. Dit bring die verandering mee dat die klem nie langer alleen op die Christelike godsdiens val nie, maar dat alle godsdienste nou gelykelik in staatskole hanteer moet word. Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel of: Daar enigsins 'n behoefte by studente bestaan om Godsdiensonderrig in sekondere skole te neem. Indien daar 'n behoefte bestaan, watter godsdiens Daar ook kennis verlang word van die ander godsdienste en gelowe wat in ons land voorkom. Uit die literatuurstudie blyk dit dat soortgelyke probleme ook in ander lande met 'n verskeidenheid godsdienste en gelowe voorgekom het. Daarom word daar verwys na die hantering van Godsdiensonderrig in Amerika en Engeland. Ook lande in Afrika waar daar telkens, na 'n verandering in regering, 'n herondersoek na die vak gedoen is. Die sluit lande in soos Nigerie, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambie en Namibie. In Suid-Afrika is die klem geld op die verlede, hede en toekoms van Godsdiensonderrig. Die navorsingsmetode behels vraelyste aan studente en onderhoude met belanghebbende persone in die onderwys. Al die data wat in die ondersoek verkry is, is geanaliseer en die resultate rekenaarmatig verwerk. Na 'n deeglike bestudering van die resultate, is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat respondente voel dat: Godsdiensonderrig 'n regmatige plek in die kurrikulum behoort te he. Die oorwegende godsdiens die Christelike godsdiens is. Daar beslis 'n behoefte bestaan om meer te wete te kom van die ander godsdienste en gelowe in ons land.

L'intolérance à l'incertitude est un concept de plus en plus étudié, notamment en lien avec les troubles anxieux. Elle semble associée à plusieurs difficultés rencontrées chez un individu : erreurs de perception, difficulté de résolution de problèmes, réactions physiologiques et cognitives négatives face à une situation problématique. Peu d'études ont toutefois tenté de bien comprendre le construit d'intolérance à l'incertitude et de cerner les facteurs individuels qui y sont associés. L'objectif de la présente thèse consiste à vérifier la présence de liens entre ce construit et certaines caractéristiques de la personnalité. Elle vise aussi à explorer la perception des participants rapportant être intolérants à l'incertitude quant au développement de leur intolérance, son évolution et son incidence familiale. Pour ce faire, 196 adultes ont répondu aux questionnaires de l'étude. Les résultats découlant de corrélations et de régressions hiérarchiques confirment partiellement les hypothèses de la thèse : les traits conscience et ouverture du modèle de la personnalité de McCrae et Costa (1996), ainsi que les traits dépendant et obsessionnel-compulsif du modèle psychopathologique (APA, 2003) prédisent significativement l'intolérance à l'incertitude. Ces résultats amènent des précisions quant à la nature du construit d'intolérance et suggèrent des pistes à approfondir pour son évaluation et son traitement.

Selon un modèle récent du trouble d'anxiété généralisée (TAG), l'intolérance à l'incertitude (Il)s'avère être la principale variable responsable des inquiétudes excessives (Dugas, Gagnon,Ladouceur & Freeston, 1998). Le but de cette étude est de vérifier l'impact de l'intolérance à l'incertitude sur les inquiétudes et ce, à partir d'événements quotidiennement vécus par les individus. Trente participants ont été soumis à une augmentation et une diminution de leur niveau d'intolérance à l'incertitude à une semaine d'intervalle. La manipulation a été effectuée à partir d'une séance de visualisation où le participant devait construire et imaginer une mise en situation.Les résultats démontrent qu'une augmentation du niveau d'intolérance à l'incertitude entraîne une augmentation des inquiétudes et, qu'au contraire, sa diminution fait diminuer les inquiétudes.Ces résultats confirment que l'intolérance à l'incertitude joue un rôle crucial au niveau de l'acquisition des inquiétudes et valident le modèle conceptuel récemment proposé (Dugas et al.,1998).

Searching verify the following hypothesis : the call (post ) modernity attracted to the Christian community , the new biblical interpretation about homosexual practice , creating not only the acceptance of the practice , as well as the growth of inclusive churches and the emergence of movements of religious intolerance ; as seen in the schism occurred in the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil . Aims to analyze the current dialogue between the ( homo ) sexuality and Christianity . Uploaded objectively debate in the Christian imagery of homosexual practice , religious intolerance that can be seen in our world (post ) modern, in the ecclesiastical schism occurred in the Anglican Episcopal Church of Brazil . The study is structured in four chapters . In the first chapter , we intend to analyze the influence that the imaginary Christian Catholic Apostolic Roman aroused the Brazilian people to form the understanding of homosexual practice , since, in the specific case of Brazil , the presence of the Roman Catholic Church contributed to the formation of the local culture of this country . Then, we intend to analyze the current relationship between Christianity and homosexuality in Brazil . This analysis pervades the biblical interpretations and major points of contemporary Christian moral arguments about this practice . The third chapter aims to discuss the new dialogues generated by postmodernity and the impact it has had on Christianity, specifically with regard to the doctrines of fundamentalism and the emergence of queer theology. The fourth chapter focuses on analyzing the current debate about the relationship between the acceptance of homosexuality by faithful Anglicans and the ecclesiastical schism occurred in the Anglican Diocese of Recife ; generating the excommunication of Bishop Robinson Cavalcanti . Also discussed the historical formation of the Anglican Church in Brazil , with interest to understand the formation of the Anglican doctrine and posture about sexuality in Brazil / O tema deste trabalho é compreendido no campo das Ciências das Religiões, especificamente na área de Religiões Culturas e Produções Simbólicas, e foi pesquisado de acordo com a Análise Crítica do Discurso, tendo como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Buscou verificar a hipótese seguinte: a chamada (pós) modernidade atraiu, para o meio cristão, a nova interpretação bíblica acerca da prática homossexual, gerando não apenas a aceitação da prática, como também o crescimento de igrejas inclusivas e o surgimento de movimentos de intolerância religiosa; como se observa no cisma ocorrido na igreja episcopal anglicana do Brasil. Pretende analisar o diálogo atual entre a (homo)sexualidade e o cristianismo. Inserido, objetivamente, no debate do imaginário cristão acerca da prática homossexual, na intolerância religiosa que se pode constatar em nosso mundo (Pós)moderno, no cisma eclesiástico ocorrido na igreja episcopal anglicana do Brasil. O estudo está estruturado em quatro capítulos. No primeiro capítulo, pretendeu-se analisar a influência que o imaginário cristão católico apostólico romano despertou no povo brasileiro para a formação do entendimento acerca da prática homossexual, uma vez que, no caso específico do Brasil, a presença da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana contribuiu para a formação da cultura local deste país. No segundo, pretende-se analisar a relação atual entre o cristianismo e a prática homossexual no Brasil. Esta análise perpassa pelas interpretações bíblicas e pelos principais pontos de argumentações contemporâneos da moral cristã acerca desta prática. O terceiro capítulo tem o objetivo de discorrer sobre os novos diálogos gerados pela pós-modernidade e o impacto que ela causou no cristianismo, especificamente no que diz respeito às doutrinas acerca do fundamentalismo e no surgimento da teologia queer. Já o quarto capítulo se debruça em analisar o debate atual acerca da relação entre a aceitação da homossexualidade por fiéis anglicanos e o cisma eclesiástico ocorrido na Diocese Anglicana do Recife; gerando a excomunhão do Bispo Robinson Cavalcanti. Discute, ainda, a formação histórica da igreja anglicana no Brasil, com interesse de perceber a formação da doutrina anglicana e a postura acerca da sexualidade no Brasil
