Kvinnor och mäns finansiella risktaganden : En kvalitativ studie om hur kvinnor och män upplever sitt finansiella risktagande

Canhasi, Kaltrina 2, Deleca, Amanda January 2022 (has links)
Modern society has created more opportunities and risks, an example of which is the stock market. The stock market entails financial risk-taking when it comes to investments and it is a domain that has always been dominated by men. Despite the high presence of women in the labor market, there is an absence in the stock market. The reasons for women's absence can be several, where one reason may be that men are considered to thrive better in risky contexts than women.The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how gender roles affect risk-taking, specifically with regard to investments in the stock market. This will be done through our questions at issue that include how men and women experience their financial actions and their risk-taking in investments and also if the experiences differ depending on gender roles. Previous research on the subject has shown results where gender roles have a decisive influence on how men and women act and relate to financial risk-taking. The study's theoretical framework is based on Anthony Gidden's risk theory, Ulrich Beck's conception of the risk society and Simone de Beauvoir's depiction of gender roles. The study was conducted through semi-structured qualitative interviews, to get more enriching information with room left for details. The conclusion of the study is that gender roles were irrelevant when it came to the respondents' actions in the stock market, except in terms of knowledge. The knowledge and risk assessment was clearly characterized by gender roles, as we found patterns where women had a higher level of knowledge than men, and where men have a more positive attitude to risk-taking than women. / Det moderna samhället har skapat fler möjligheter och risker, exempel på detta är börsmarknaden. Börsmarknaden medför ett finansiellt risktagande när det gäller investeringar och det är en domän som genom tiderna varit dominerad av män. Trots kvinnors höga närvaro på arbetsmarknaden, råder det en frånvaro på börsmarknaden. Anledningarna till kvinnors frånvaro kan vara flera, där en anledning kan vara att män anses trivas bättre i riskfyllda sammanhang än kvinnor. Syftet med denna studie är att få en förståelse för om risktagandet skiljer sig mellan studiens män och kvinnor beträffande investeringar inom börsmarknaden. Detta sker genom frågeställningar som innefattar hur män och kvinnor upplever sitt finansiella agerande och risktagandet inom investeringar samt om upplevelserna skiljer sig beroende på könsroller. Tidigare forskning om ämnet har visat resultat där könsroller har en avgörande påverkan om hur män och kvinnor agerar och förhåller sig till finansiellt risktagande. Studiens teoretiska ramverket grundas på Anthony Giddens riskteori, Ulrich Becks föreställning av risksamhället och Simone de Beauvoir skildring av könsroller. Studien är utförd genom semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer, för att få en mer berikande information med utrymme för detaljer. Slutsatsen av studien är att könsroller var irrelevant när det kom till respondenternas agerande på börsmarknaden, förutom när det gällde kunskapen. Kunskapen och riskbedömningen var tydligt präglad av könsroller, då vi fann mönster där kvinnorna hade en högre kunskap än männen, och där männen har en mer positiv attityd till risktagande än vad kvinnorna har.

The Deterrent Effect of the Fear of HIV Disease: Influences on Young Adult Risk-Taking Behaviors

Maurer, Laurie Ann January 2017 (has links)
Young adults account for over one in five new HIV diagnoses each year in the United States, and although the total incidence has been decreasing among most groups in recent years, diagnoses among young adults are increasing. To better understand the decision-making processes of young adults 18-24 years old at risk of contracting HIV, as well as the deterrent effect of the fear of HIV on their decision-making, a two-phase study was conducted. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with young adults (n=31) to gain a comprehensive understanding of their current HIV risk perceptions, decision-making processes, and risky behaviors to inform the second phase of study. The themes and ideas from Phase I, derived through thematic synthesis, were incorporated into a perceptual mapping survey to visually depict young adults’ HIV perceptions and related risk-taking behaviors. The Phase II survey was conducted online via Mechanical Turk to access a diverse sample of young adults (n=226) still at risk of contracting HIV. Both study phases were informed by Social Cognitive Theory and the psychometric paradigm. Results of descriptive analyses and perceptual mapping suggest that HIV is not a factor in young adults’ decision-making and resulting behaviors. Their lack of perceived risk of HIV is exhibited in their continued engagement in unprotected sex, casual sex, lack of sexual history discussion, and infrequent HIV testing. Perceived value of condoms, concerns of pregnancy, and perceptions of the sexual encounter itself, as well as sociodemographic and personality factors, were important factors in their decision-making instead. / Public Health
