Sökandet efter kärlek utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv : En kvalitativ studie om kvinnors erfarenheter av onlinedejting via Tinder

Karlsson, Moa, Rudenstig, Malin January 2021 (has links)
Dejting online är idag socialt accepterat och en stor del av dejtingmarknaden, där Tinder är en av många appar för att söka en blivande partner. Studien har som syfte att utifrån ett intersektionellt perspektiv, se hur olika kvinnliga erfarenheter av sökande efter kärlek ser ut på dejtingappen Tinder. Studien syftar även till att undersöka om kvinnorna har några erfarenheter av diskriminering när de söker efter en blivande partner. Utifrån Eva Illouz studie om sökandet efter kärlek har vi byggt vidare på ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och består av 8 intervjuer med kvinnor i åldrarna 23- 45 år. I vårt resultat såg vi att kvinnor med högre utbildning har en ökad medvetenhet kring feministiska värderingar och ett generellt intresse för politiska frågor, vilket de även uttryckte som viktiga värderingar hos en framtida partner. De med högre utbildning var även tydliga med vilka värderingar eller politiska uppfattningar de var emot hos en framtida partner. Många av kvinnorna beskriver att de upplevt sexism och diskriminering när de varit i kontakt med män på Tinder, där några av kvinnorna med utländsk bakgrund uppgav att de fått nedlåtande kommentarer på Tinder av män som var kopplade till deras etnicitet.

Fake News and Women: Fake and Real Media's Impact on Sexism in Consumer Attitudes

Oropallo, Alexandra C 01 January 2021 (has links)
Gender-based discrimination is an issue that permeates many aspects of today's society and is influenced by numerous factors, including the presence of fake news, or emotionally driven, factually inaccurate, and misleading media. This study aimed to examine fake news' impact on consumer attitudes regarding women and to investigate how certain demographic factors relate to consumers' attitudes towards women. The current study had two main hypotheses: (1) participants exposed to fake news materials will report higher levels of both old-fashioned and modern sexism than those in other conditions and (2) participants with higher levels of sociodemographic factors such as right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and levels of religious involvement will have higher levels of both types of sexism. Data for the current study was collected from male students at the University of Central Florida. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: watching three consecutive real news clips about women, watching three consecutive fake news clips about women, or watching nothing. Participants then completed online questions related to the study's aims. Analyses conducted included correlational analyses of all variables, analysis of variance to determine if there are differences in level of sexism based on experimental condition, and linear regression analysis to determine how various sociodemographic factors relate to consumer sexism. Results indicated no significant impact of fake news on participants' levels of sexism but does demonstrate justification for future research on the topic.

Ambivalent Sexism and Traditional Gender Roles as Predictors of Performance Evaluation Bias

Bragg, Caleb Braxton 09 July 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The object of the present research was to examine the relationship between ambivalent sexism, adherence to traditional gender roles, gendered job types, performance evaluations and promotion decisions. There were 124 participants recruited from undergraduate psychology courses, randomly assigned to one of four scenarios. Participants took the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI), Ambivalence towards Men Inventory (AMI), and Sex Role Egalitarianism Scale (SRES), read a scenario, and then evaluated the leader in the scenario using the Leadership Effectiveness Appraisal of Performance (LEAP). A 2x2x2 MANOVA found significant main effects for participant gender on the ASI and SRES, but no main or interaction effects were found for the other measures. Steiger's Z-test for “correlated correlations” in a sample did not find a significant relationship between the correlations in the different scenarios.

The Effect of Sexblindness and Sexawareness on Workplace Related Gender Bias

Nichol, Katie 14 November 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The present study was an adaptation of Richeson and Nussbaum's (2004) study of racism to gender bias. Two different gender ideologies were theoretically analyzed, then the influence of these ideologies on implicit and explicit forms of gender bias was examined. Psychology undergraduates were presented with a prompt promoting either a sexblind or sexaware approach to reducing gender bias. Participants then completed a measure of implicit (IAT Gender/Career) and explicit (MAWWWS) bias. Results suggested that, relative to the sexaware perspective, the sexblind perspective generated less implicit gender bias. There was no difference between ideological groups on the explicit measure. The findings of the present study increase the body of literature on the sexblind and sexaware ideologies and call into question the assumption that sexism and racism are analogous constructs.

Navigating the White-male Environment: How Learning Helps Women Investment Managers

Ireland, Michael Sean January 2023 (has links)
Diversity has become an essential component in companies. As businesses and industries attempt to appeal to a wider demographic of employees while trying to serve diverse markets, they are also seeking to be representatives of such markets. Internal diversity is essential from a business standpoint. Diverse perspectives and backgrounds are proven to result in advantages for businesses which ultimately increase revenues and profits. The purpose of this study was to address the limited understanding of how White women and women of color navigate the dominant environment in the investment management industry. White men traditionally hold the power in this environment and, as such, are not typically subjected to the same obstacles. The purposely selected sample consisted of seven participants of a program whose mission was to develop women and people-of-color investment managers into more successful investment managers. The research methods included participant interviews and content analysis of documents about the program. Data collections methods included audio-recorded interviews and content analysis of documents about the program. The data were coded and analyzed, first by research question, and then findings were organized into three analytical categories based on the study’s framework. The research revealed two main tensions surrounding being authentic while seeking to raise money from White-male investors and that participants’ gender identity was perceived as an important part of their identity as investment managers. Participants’ capacity to handle these tensions grew after completing the program and they learned to present themselves in an authentic way. Recommendations are offered for educators and women investment managers, and for further research, including: (1) authenticity should be focused on and a key tenet of future programs, (2) having separate cohorts or learning paths for different experience levels, (3) emphasize in person training in order to build relationships with each other and with White-male investors/facilitators, (4) be authentic and run experiments based on being authentic to gauge success, (5) focus on building relationships, (6) think of White males as potential allies instead of adversaries, (7) study authenticity further, (8) expand pool of participants in future studies, (9) integrating future studies into the formal program evaluation, (10) study women professionals in the rest of the investment industry, (11) study White-male investors, and (12) study how subordinate White-males in the industry are treated.

The Effect of Misogynistic Humor on the Perception of Women

Vashist, Natasha 01 May 2015 (has links)
Humor is often a controversial genre of entertainment. It is not critically examined due to its intentionally offensive nature. This study examines the impact of sexist humor on the perception of women. Students (n = 1,096) from a 4 year university were divided into two groups and both participated in a questionnaire examining attitudes toward women and media viewing habits. One group was exposed to clips of sexist humor from television shows and the other was not. A series of analyses of variance (ANOVA) conducted on the two groups did not find significant differences between those who had viewed sexist clips and those who did not. However, linear regressions found media viewing habits and preferences were significant predictors for five out of eight factors of sexism: dependency/deference, purity, caretaking, benevolent sexism, and hostile sexism. The factors not found to be significant were modern sexism, stereotypical images/activities, and emotionality. Overall, the results indicate long-term exposure to sexist humor is correlated with higher levels of sexism. These findings support the need for more critical analysis of sexist humor.
