Culture is made up of numerous components that interact upon the individual to help form and shape his/her perspectives about the world. Two such components are machismo (the degree to which a population views gender roles as particularly male oriented) and self-construal (the internal attributions of individualism/collectivism). In a survey conducted among native English speaking individuals and native Spanish speaking individuals within the Midwestern United States, a measure of both of these components was used to determine whether there are differences in scores for selfconstrual and machismo between two samples. The results indicate that in the samples included, the native Spanish speaking group scored significantly higher on machismo, and the native English speaking cohort scored significantly higher on independent selfconstrual. Differences between the two groups for mean age and gender composition may explain the lack of significance for the measure of interdependent self-construal. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Une nouvelle voie d’accès à des structures tri-cycliques originaux les « oxazino-indole di-iodés» a été mise au point à partir des acides 1H-indole-2-carboxyliques commerciaux ou des acides 1H-indole-2-carboxyliques fonctionnalisés obtenus par la réaction d’Hemetsberger-Knittel. La dernière étape de cette séquence est une réaction d’iodocyclisation qui s’est avérée totalement régio- et stéréosélective selon un processus de type 6-exo-dig. Cette méthodologie a ensuite été étendue en série isoindolique permettant un accès à des motifs « oxazino-isoindolique di-iodés » originaux. Afin d'étendre davantage cette méthodologie, de nouveaux « oxazepino-indole di-iodés » ont été préparés en utilisant la même approche synthétique à partir de l'acide 1H-indole-7-carboxylique. La réactivité des structures tri-cycliques di-iodés a été étudiée via des réactions de Cross-Coupling (Stille, Sonogashira, Suzuki) par l’utilisation de sels de palladium permettant une fonctionnalisation régiosélective de l’iode exocyclique. / A new access pathway to the original tricyclic structures "di-iodinated oxazino-indole" was developed from the commercial 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids or functionalized 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid obtained by Hemetsberger-Knittel reaction. The last step in this sequence is an iodocyclisation reaction that is proved to be completely regio- and stereoselective via 6-exo-dig process. This methodology was then extended to isoindolic series allowing access to original "di-iodinated oxazino-isoindole" motifs. To further extend this methodology, new"di-iodinated oxazepino-indoles" were prepared using the same synthetic approach from the 1H-indole-7-carboxylic acid. The reactivity of the di-iodinated tri-cyclic structures has been studied via Cross-Coupling reactions (Stille, Sonogashira and Suzuki) by the use of palladium salts allowing a regioselective functionalization of the exocyclic iodine.
