Sex Differences in Performance Expectancies

Horne, Amy Beth 08 1900 (has links)
Previous research demonstrates expectations predict actual performance. These studies evaluated the influence of other variables, specifically task sex orientation, biological gender, and sex-role identification, on performance expectancies. Two studies investigated sex differences in performance expectancies: Study 1 used a task normatively favoring males; Study 2 used a task normatively unbiased by gender. Subjects were 207 undergraduates, approximately equal numbers of males and females. Experimenter sex was controlled. Performance expectancies were influenced by interactions of task sex orientation with biological gender and task sex orientation with sex-role identification, but these variables became secondary to personal experience. These findings were interpreted as having implications on initial choice and consequent involvement in novel activities and situations.

Fläskbatongen och skinkmackan : En undersökning av vilka ord som förekommer vid benämning av manliga och kvinnliga könsorgan / The porkbaton and the hamsandwich : A study of the words used in the designation of male and female genitals

Viktor, Alexandra January 2020 (has links)
Denna uppsats är ämnad att undersöka vilka ord som används som benämningar för manliga och kvinnliga könsorgan samt att identifiera eventuella likheter och skillnader mellan hur män och kvinnor benämner dessa. Avsikten är även att kartlägga vad metaforerna bland orden säger i relation till samhället i stort. Studiens forskningsfrågor är: Vilka är de mest förekommande orden för manliga och kvinnliga könsorgan? Vilka ord använder män respektive kvinnor och finns det några likheter eller skillnader mellan könen? Vilka metaforer går att kategorisera och vad säger de? Materialet som analyserats består av en digital enkät som besvarats av 81 vänner och bekanta från sociala medier samt 85 gymnasieelever från tre skolor i olika delar av Sverige. Den inhämtade datan analyserades sedan genom att grupperas i semantiska kategorier. De vanligaste orden för könsorganen identifieras och sätts i relation till tidigare forskning och uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkter. Resultatet visade på ett fortsatt språkligt tabu kring föreliggande ämne. Både de manliga och kvinnliga informanterna var överens om att de mest förekommande benämningarna för könsorganen var de stigmatiserade orden kuk och fitta. Det skilde sig heller inte mellan män och kvinnor vilka fem ord de angav som vanligast för kvinnliga och manliga könsorgan. Ordet snippa verkar även fått fäste i det svenska folkets ordförråd sen lanseringen 2006. Metaforerna bland könsorganens benämningar har inte bildats slumpmässigt utan metaforiska samband identifieras. Dessa bidrar till en upprätthållning av en könsskillnad mellan män och kvinnor där mannen är överordnad kvinnan genom de aktiva och hotfulla metaforerna medan kvinnan framställs passiv och hjälplös. Vårt tänkande är i grunden metaforiskt och används för att förstå den verklighet vi lever i.

Jämställdhet på fritidshemmet : En kvalitativ studie där fritidshemslärare talar om sitt jämställdhetsarbete på fritidshemmet

Orre, Maria, Ejwertz, Melissa January 2021 (has links)
This essay examines how after-school center teachers talk about working with gender equalityat the after-school center. Furthermore, it is about how after-school center teachers talk abouttheir work to counteract traditional gender roles, and how they describe the strategies they useto counteract traditional gender roles. Previous research shows that a difference is madebetween girls and boys by educators, children are treated differently based on their gender.Research also shows that educators' attitudes and emotional expressions can help shape achild's gender identity. The thesis is based on several theoretical poin, these are socially orbiologically constructed gender, gender roles and gender contracts, with these concepts theresults are analyzed. In our study, we have started from the questions: How do after-schoolteachers talk about their work in counteracting traditional gender roles? Also: How do theafter-school center teachers describe in their speech their strategies for counteractingtraditional gender roles in the after-school center's activities? The method we used to getanswers to our questions was qualitative interviews. We have interviewed trained after-schoolteachers from three different schools. The results we have obtained show that educators saythat they do not actively see that they are working to counteract traditional gender roles, theeducators stated above all that they work on the basis of the curriculum. Furthermore, we seethat the traditional gender roles are extremely alive in the educators we interviewed, theresults show that the gender contract to some extent governs the planning of the leisurecenter's activities and environment. Finally, the after-school center teachers we interviewedfeel that they do not have the education that may be needed to work actively with gender andequality at the after-school center.

From Snow White to Frozen : An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films / Från Snövit till Frost : En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer

Nyh, Johan January 2015 (has links)
Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods. / <p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p>
