This research posed the question "How does racism in the gay community and homophobia in the Black community restrict gay Black male's life chances and life opportunities?" Previous research has uncovered racist attitudes within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community as well as homophobic attitudes within the Black community. Because of conflicting social identifiers (Is it possible for one to be both homosexual and Black?) and the invisibility of a gay Black voice, it is imperative to deconstruct the relationship between gay Black men and the communities they are a part of. I utilized qualitative in-depth interviewing techniques interviewing 15 Black men aged 18 and older who identified themselves as homosexual. The questions revolved around three primary questions designed to center the researcherâ ¦How do gay Black men describe their lives, How do gay Black men describe what their lives ought to be, and What obstacles do gay Black men see effecting their opportunity to live the lives they feel they ought to be living. The gay Black male research participants disclosed that because of Black stereotypes, gay stereotypes, acceptance with stipulations in the gay community and the black community, racism in the gay community, homophobia in the Black community, and perceptions of blackness and masculinity's affect on gay Black menâ ¦gay Black men live their lives with various restrictions. In other words, gay Black men do not appear to be living their lives the way they feel they ought to be living it. This work is important because a majority of the participants stated they wished to live restriction free lives. They are not able to fully be themselves in their daily lives and often have to assimilate to be accepted. / Master of Science

Little research has been done on the personality of internal auditors. However, there does exist a negative stereotype. They are seen as hostile and unsympathetic. The purpose of this research was to see if the negative stereotype was indeed true and to see if undesirable behavior could be changed through training.

This study explored whether women who have breast augmentation are more vulnerable to negative stereotypes about their intelligence and abilities than women who do not elect to have breast augmentation. Furthermore, whether the motivation for seeking such surgery contributes to stereotypes was also explored. Participants in this study read experimentally manipulated biographies of a fictitious female author, followed by her short story. The only manipulation was one line in the author's biography which varied the reason for the plastic surgery across 4 conditions (for herself, for her significant other, for medical reconstructive reasons, or no surgery). The participants were asked to read and evaluate the author and her work. The results of this study suggest that women who elect to have plastic surgery for herself or her husband are perceived as being less deep. The results also suggest that women who have previously elected to have plastic surgery judged the authors' fictional work more critically when she had plastic surgery for herself or for her husband.

Studier har visat att frivilligt barnlösa individer stereotypt har betraktats vara olyckliga och otillfredsställda, något som inte har fått vetenskapligt stöd. Syftet med den här tvärsnittsstudien var att undersöka om det föreligger några skillnader i livskvalitet och livstillfredsställelse mellan frivilligt barnlösa personer och föräldrar i den svenska populationen. Forskningsfrågan undersöktes med en enkät som bestod av självskattningsskalorna QOLI (Quality Of Life Inventory) och SWLS (Satisfaction With Life Scale). 130 deltagare genomförde studien varav 54 är frivilligt barnlösa individer och 76 är föräldrar. Studien visade att det inte finns några signifikanta skillnader mellan grupperna med avseende på livskvalitet och livstillfredsställelse. Dock visade variansanalyserna att ålder och civilstånd signifikant påverkade livskvaliteten och livstillfredsställelsen. / Earlier studies have demonstrated that voluntarily childless individuals are negatively stereotyped as unhappy and unsatisfied, despite contradictory findings. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to explore whether there are any differences in life quality and life satisfaction between voluntarily childless adults and parents on a Swedish population. The research question was addressed with a survey utilizing two scales; QOLI (Quality Of Life Inventory) and SWLS (Satisfaction With life Scale). 130 subjects participated; 54 voluntarily childless adults and 76 parents. The study concludes that there are no significant differences between the groups on either dimension. However, the variance analysis showed that age and marital status significantly influenced life quality and life satisfaction.

abstract: Internalized racism is a destructive, yet insidious psychological effect of racism. Although it has garnered increased attention in the research and clinical community due to its pervasive impact in racial minority individuals, empirical research on this topic has been limited. At the time of this study, no existing scale captures the key dimensions of internalized racism of Asian Americans. This study attempted to fill this gap by developing a self-report instrument that identified the key dimensions of this psychological construct. Seven hundred and fourteen Asian Americans participated in this study, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to investigate the factor structure of the scale. Results indicated that the Internalized Racism Scale for Asian Americans (IRSAA) has five factors, which are Endorsement of Negative Stereotypes, Sense of Inferiority, Denial or Minimization of Racism, Emasculation of Asian American Men, and Within-group Discrimination. This dissertation also examines and discusses the evidence of convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity for the IRSAA subscales. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Counseling Psychology 2016

My project is about changing the attitudes towards secondhand clothes in the suburbs of Kalmar with repurposing fashion. Secondhand clothes have a bad reputation in the suburbs and in my project, I am seeking where the prejudice coming from, what is acceptable, etc. in hopes to create something that is acceptable and something that grabs the interest of the people from the suburbs of Kalmar. I'm trying to spread the good things about secondhand and teaching people in the suburbs how to repurpose their own clothes in my workshop called “Repurposed+”.Hopefully, this will also connect people and create an interest/hobby for them which will benefit their futures.

Antiguas sociedades concebían a los adultos mayores positivamente ya que representaban conocimiento y experiencia, pero con el desarrollo industrial los adultos mayores son percibidas de manera negativa, estereotipada. La investigación fue cuantitativa, diseño descriptivo-transversal, cuyo objetivo fue determinar el nivel de creencias de estereotipos negativos hacia los adultos mayores por estudiantes de enfermería de Chiclayo, 2023. La población estuvo conformada por 390 estudiantes de enfermería, la muestra constituida por 194 y el muestreo fue probabilístico y de tipo aleatorio estratificado, se tuvo en cuenta criterios de inclusión y exclusión planteados; para la recolección de datos se utilizó la “Encuesta de estereotipo negativos hacia la vejez” (CENVE), cuenta con validación por contenido y confiabilidad según alfa de Cronbach. Posteriormente los datos fueron codificados en una hoja de cálculo Excel, analizados por el programa Paquete Estadístico para las Ciencias Sociales (SPSS) y finalmente se cumplió con los criterios de rigor ético y científico. Como resultados se obtuvo que el 44 % de estudiantes de enfermería tiene un bajo nivel de creencia de estereotipos negativos hacia los adultos mayores, sin embargo, en relación a las dimensiones estudiadas se evidenció que el 52 % de estudiantes tiene alto nivel en Carácter-personalidad, siendo los puntajes más alto en los estudiantes de primer a cuarto ciclo. Por lo que se concluye, si bien hay una mejor actitud por parte de las estudiantes, el estereotipo negativo en adultos mayores aún es preocupante ya que la formación y el posterior desarrollo profesional, puede influir negativamente en la relación y atención con las personas AM, la cuales se pueden sentir discriminadas. / Ancient societies conceived of older adults in a positive way since they represented knowledge and experience, although over time and industrial development this image has changed; People aged 60 or over in the modern period are often perceived in a negatively stereotypical way. The research had a quantitative approach, the design was descriptivetransversal, whose objective was to determine the level of beliefs of negative stereotypes towards older adults by nursing students from Chiclayo, 2023.
