Initial Interview: Impact of Gender and Sex-Role Orientation

Tang, So-kum Catherine 12 1900 (has links)
The present study examined the impact of gender and sex-role orientation on therapy effectiveness. Previous research suggested that same-sex pairings and androgynous therapists would be most desirable. Interviewers (therapists) were 25 male and 15 female third-year doctoral psychology students, each interviewing a male and a female undergraduate student (client). Results did not support the hypothesis that gender and sex role were powerful predictors of therapy effectiveness. However, this study did find that therapist self-rated interpersonal competency and accurate self-perception predicted therapy effectiveness for female clients. Therapists' consistency in using various parameters (techniques) of therapy was related to client perceived effectiveness. Opposite-sex pairings were less likely to result in momentary feelings of discomfort during initial interviews.

Leadership Competency, Service Time, and Gender Orientation: A Comparative Study of CPA Leaders

King, Delores Cauthorne 01 January 2016 (has links)
Working in environments that could be described as task-oriented, certified public accountants (CPAs) are generally considered to be leaders. In 2015, within the United States, fewer than 30% of CPAs were women. Based on the theoretical framework of Eagly and Karau's role congruity theory and Bandura's social learning theory, this survey study sought to understand the relationship between self-rated leadership competency, service time, and gender orientation of female CPAs in leadership positions for 5 years or more, compared to men working in similar positions. A sample of 92 CPAs (46 women, 46 men) completed 2 online surveys, the LPI-Self Leadership Inventory and the Bem Sex Role Inventory, in addition to a demographics profile form. Data were analyzed with independent samples t tests, Pearson correlation coefficients, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression. Four hypotheses were tested to answer the research questions regarding the differences between male and female CPAs with respect to leadership competency, gender orientation (masculine, feminine, androgynous, or undifferentiated), and a potential increase in masculinity over time to maintain a high level of leadership competency. Results showed no difference in leadership competency between male and female CPAs, but a significant finding showed masculinity orientation was a strong predictor of leadership competency. Positive social change may result if the findings are used by curriculum developers and organizations to promote male-oriented behaviors (e.g., decisiveness, assertiveness, and risk taking) together with traditionally feminine behaviors (e.g., helpfulness, interpersonal sensitivity, and gentleness) for young women who aspire to leadership positions.

[en] RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GENDER ORIENTATION, DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE RISK IN SEXUAL AND GENDER MINORITIES / [pt] RELAÇÕES ENTRE ORIENTAÇÃO DE GÊNERO, DEPRESSÃO E RISCO DE SUICÍDIO EM MINORIAS SEXUAIS E DE GÊNERO

[pt] As questões de gênero sempre foram um tema de grande relevância dentro da Psicologia. A busca por compreensão desse conceito encontra explicação em diversas teorias. Podemos dizer que gênero está associado a uma categorização social. A orientação de gênero diz respeito a como as pessoas se delimitam em função dos papéis de gênero que assumem. As delimitações de orientação de gênero podem variar do extremo acordo com o sexo biológico até o extremo desacordo com o sexo biológico. Considerando-se assim a orientação de gênero foi possível elaborar um instrumento para mensuração desse construto. O presente trabalho foi divido em dois estudos. O primeiro buscou a elaboração e busca por evidências de validade da Escala de Orientação de Gênero baseada nos sete fatores da sexualidade humana (Escala OriGen). O instrumento apresentou dois fatores: Tipificado e Misto. O fator Tipificado afere o quanto as pessoas consideram que representam e desempenham papeis na sociedade de uma pessoa típica do seu sexo biológico. O fator Misto afere o quanto as pessoas consideram que representam e desempenham papeis na sociedade de ambos os possíveis sexos de nascimento. Além de uma estrutura fatorial ajustada ao modelo teórico, o instrumento apresentou outras evidências de validade satisfatórias, como relações conforme o esperado com os cinco grandes fatores de personalidade, papéis de gênero e apego adulto. O segundo estudo testou a orientação de gênero e a depressão como preditores do risco de suicídio, e investigou relações entre essas variáveis e a homofobia internalizada. Destacam-se as correlações negativas entre risco de suicídio e o fator Tipificado da orientação de gênero e idade; e correlações positivas entre o risco de suicídio e o fator Misto da orientação de gênero, depressão e homofobia internalizada. Conduziu-se uma análise de equações estruturais com as variáveis fator Tipificado da OriGen, fator misto da OriGen, homofobia internalizada explicando depressão, e depressão explicando o risco de suicídio. Esse modelo explicou, aproximadamente, 8% da variância da depressão e 33,8% da variância do risco de suicídio. As análises de equações estruturais indicaram que a orientação de gênero não impacta significativamente o risco de suicídio. Ou seja, a depressão e a homofobia internalizada são mais explicativas do risco de suicídio do que a orientação de gênero. Conclui-se essa tese contribui para a Psicologia como um ponto de partida. Um ponto para maior entendimento das questões de gênero e seu impacto nas vidas dos indivíduos, independente de qual grupo social eles pertençam. / [en] Gender issues have always been a topic of great relevance within Psychology. The search for understanding this concept finds explanations in several theories. We can say that gender is associated with social categorization. Gender orientation concerns how people define themselves according to the gender roles they assume. Gender orientation boundaries can range from extreme agreement with the biological sex to extreme disagreement with the biological sex. Thus, considering gender orientation, it was possible to develop an instrument to measure this construct. The present work was divided into two studies. The first sought to elaborate and search for evidence of the validity of the Gender Orientation Scale based on the seven factors of human sexuality (OriGen Scale). The instrument presented two factors: Typified and Mixed. The Typified factor measures how much people consider that they represent and play roles in society as a typical person of their biological sex. The Mixed factor measures how much people consider that they represent and play roles in society of both possible biological sexes. In addition to a factor structure adjusted to the theoretical model, the instrument presented other satisfactory evidence of validity, such as relationships as expected with the big-five personality factors, gender roles, and adult attachment. The second study tested gender orientation and depression as predictors of suicide risk and investigated relationships between these variables and internalized homophobia. The negative correlations between suicide risk, the Typified factor of gender orientation and age; and the positive correlations between suicide risk, the Mixed factor of gender orientation, depression, and internalized homophobia are highlighted. A structural equation analysis was conducted with the variables the Typified factor of OriGen, the Mixed factor of OriGen, and internalized homophobia explaining depression, and depression explaining the risk of suicide. This model explained 8% of the variance in depression and 33.8% of the variance in suicide risk. Structural equation analyzes indicated that gender orientation does not significantly impact suicide risk. That is, depression and internalized homophobia are more explanatory of suicide risk than gender orientation. We concluded that this thesis contributes to Psychology as a starting point. A point for greater understanding of gender issues and their impact on the lives of individuals, regardless of which social group they belong.

Kunskapsproduktion kring fetischism : Att förhålla sig till sakorienterad sexualitet

Nilsson-Jatko, David January 2023 (has links)
Detta projekt söker efter vägledande principer för en kunskapsproduktion kring fetischistisk sexualitet. Detta har utförts genom diskursanalytiska och genealogiska studier av hur fetischism konstrueras i olika sociokulturella sammanhang. Analysen indikerar att fetischistisk sexualitet existerar i en marginaliserad position i ett maktrelationellt landskap, där yttre grupper har olika incitament till att återge fetischism på bristfälliga, sexualiserande och andrafierande sätt. Detta medför olika problem vad gäller kunskapsproduktionen kring fetischistisk sexualitet och kan antas bidra till upprätthållandet av nuvarande sexualnormer. För att minimera dessa kunskapsproduktionsproblem föreslås åtta vägledande principer: En ansvarstagande kunskapsproduktion som utgår från subjektet; medvetenhet om stereotyper och om patologins kvardröjande ok; användande av icke-andrafierande terminologi; medvetenhet om könsorienteringsnormen; medvetenhet om politiserade begrepp; undvikande av låsning i subkulturell identitetspolitik; en förståelse för den abjektas möjligheter att tala; samt bruk av intrasektionell analys. Dessa principer kan förstås bidra till ett tillgängliggörande av forskningsfältet kring fetischism samt bidra till en allmän förståelse för sexualitet bortom kön. / This project aims to find guiding principles for a knowledge production around fetishism. This has been conducted through discourse analysis and genealogical studies of the construction of fetishism in central contexts. The analysis indicates that fetishism is marginalised in a weave of power relations, where external interests have incitaments to vilify, sexualise and otherise fetishistic sexuality. This is understood to potentially cause various problems when it comes to knowledge production around fetishism. In order to minimise these problems, eight guiding principles are suggested: A knowledge production based in the subject; awareness of lingering pathological notions and stereotypes; usage of non-othering terminology; awareness of the sex/gender orientation norm; awareness of politicised definitions; awareness of subcultural identity politics; an understanding of the abject's ability to speak; and usage of intra-sectional analysis.
