My undergraduate Honors thesis defense presentation. My research compared personality and political preferences of undergraduate fraternity and sorority members to non-affiliated students.
Conor Geraghty's paper discusses sexual objectification of women in social and media contexts. It explores how objectification reduces women to their physical appearance and body parts for the sole purpose of male pleasure and satisfaction. Early arguments from philosophers like Kant viewed those who are objects of sexual desire as mere means to an end. Studies also show that focusing on women's physicality can decrease perceptions of their competence and agency. Music videos frequently portray women in sexually submissive roles and outfits that emphasize their sexuality, while portraying men as dominant. Exposure to such objectifying media influences casual attitudes about gender and sex, especially amongst adolescents.
In this stressful life ,suicide is become easy to overcome from struggle. This slide is helpful to stop this type of activities by any one or by technology changes in the system.
Bias can influence studies and psychologists in several ways. Bias refers to a partial perspective that lacks consideration of alternative viewpoints. It can come in many forms, including teacher bias and bias against women in STEM fields. Various types of bias include cultural, racial, gender, and economic biases. Psychologists must be aware of biases like experimenter bias, attribution bias, and response bias that can influence studies and interpretations. Addressing bias is important to produce objective research and equitable treatment of all people.
This document discusses the history of homosexuality being classified as a psychiatric disorder and how it is now viewed by society and medical professionals. It describes how homosexuality was removed from the DSM as a psychiatric condition in the 1970s because it did not meet the criteria of causing subjective distress or impairing social functioning like other mental disorders. While some homosexual individuals may face external pressures from society and wish to change their orientation, homosexuality itself is now generally considered a normal variant of human sexuality by mental health professionals rather than a disorder. The document concludes that homosexuality should be viewed as personal choices made by individuals, not as suffering from mental illness.
Bullying involves using force, threats, or coercion to abuse or intimidate others through repeated aggressive behavior asserting domination. It can include verbal harassment, physical assault, or other acts directed at particular targets, sometimes justified by differences in attributes. Bullying consists of emotional, verbal, physical, and cyber abuse, typically using subtle coercion. It ranges from one-on-one bullying to more complex forms with groups assisting the primary bully in bullying activities. A bullying culture can develop where humans interact, including schools, families, workplaces, and neighborhoods.
Bell Hooks critiques traditional Western feminism for prioritizing patriarchy as the sole form of oppression and failing to consider intersectionality. She argues feminism should challenge all forms of domination, including those based on race, class, gender, and sexuality. Further, traditional definitions portray women only as dominated and do not allow for male allies against sexism. Hooks calls for celebrating small victories and connecting feminism to concepts like love and spirituality to make it more accessible and inclusive.
Cognitive schemas can result in stereotypes and contribute to prejudice.
Stereotypes Stereotypes are beliefs about people based on their membership in a particular group. Stereotypes can be positive, negative, or neutral. Stereotypes based on gender, ethnicity, or occupation are common in many societies.
Then Prejudice has been discussed
The document discusses different types of prejudices including those based on age, religion, ethnicity, appearance, disabilities, race, sex, and economic class. It notes that race is a social construct rather than a scientific one, as genetic variations between human populations are minor. The document asks readers to consider experiences they have had with assumptions, stereotypes, and how they felt they should have been treated in those situations.

Stereotypes Stereotypes are beliefs about people based on their membership in a particular group. Stereotypes can be positive, negative, or neutral. Stereotypes based on gender, ethnicity, or occupation are common in many societies.
Then Prejudice has been discussed
The document discusses different types of prejudices including those based on age, religion, ethnicity, appearance, disabilities, race, sex, and economic class. It notes that race is a social construct rather than a scientific one, as genetic variations between human populations are minor. The document asks readers to consider experiences they have had with assumptions, stereotypes, and how they felt they should have been treated in those situations.
Homosexuality refers to romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between members of the same sex. The document discusses both positive and negative effects of homosexuality on society. Positive effects include belonging to a community and gaining personal insight. Negative effects claimed include higher rates of promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases, risks to children, and threats to religious freedom. The document cites several studies and organizations in its discussion of homosexuality's impacts.
Numerous experimental researchers prove prejudice is an unfavorable and preoccupied judgment directed towards a specific group or individual. Initial research that was carried out in the occurrence in 1920s proves that there exists hierarchical supremacy. The theorist made the discovery that prejudice originates from authoritarian individuals segmenting the society in the basis of hierarchical as well as abnormal judgment. In his 1979 analysis, Thomas clearly defined negative attributes on the experience of the global out-group.

This document defines and discusses stereotypes. It notes that stereotypes are oversimplified generalizations about groups of people. They often evolve from a lack of exposure or understanding of other groups. Stereotypes can be implicit or explicit. While stereotypes can help process information efficiently, they can also be unfair and persist despite changes to the groups. The document examines types of stereotypes like ethnic, gender, and positive/negative stereotypes. It explores the differences between stereotypes, attitudes, and prejudices.
The document discusses stereotypes, defining them as generalizations or oversimplified assumptions made about groups of people. It notes that stereotypes are often used in advertising, books, and television to characterize people. The document also discusses some of the problems caused by stereotyping, such as mistaken beliefs, discrimination, and damage to self-esteem. It poses questions about whether stereotyping can demoralize workers and how personal morality can help defeat its negative impacts.
This document is a thesis submitted by Robin Jay Kaye to Leeds Beckett University in 2015 investigating the perceived role of the internet in the psychological well-being of male undergraduate students. The thesis includes an abstract, introduction, methods section describing the study design and participants, findings from focus groups, discussion, and conclusions. The introduction discusses literature showing men are less likely than women to seek help for mental health issues like depression and anxiety due to perceptions of masculinity. The study aimed to understand how young men view the internet as a source of support for psychological distress, and what could encourage help-seeking. The methods involved focus groups with 5 male undergraduate students, which were analyzed for themes. Key findings centered around perceptions of masculinity
This document is a paper submitted by Ashish Pithadiya to the Department of English. It discusses personal and cultural influences on aggression with reference to the character Okonkos from African literature. It defines aggression and explores individual differences, gender differences, and cultural differences that can influence aggression. It examines how being threatened, rejected, or experiencing negative affect can increase aggression in individuals. It also notes cultural differences like avoiding others, losing power or identity that may increase aggression. Kindness is presented as an alternative to aggression for better development.
Prejudice refers to negative attitudes towards members of social groups. It can be reflected in policies and is often a form of scapegoating. Research suggests prejudice is a personality trait where those prejudiced against one group are often prejudiced against others. Prejudice causes hurt, is unjust, and goes against principles of society. It leads to conflicts and issues between groups.

This document defines key terms related to stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It defines stereotypes as beliefs about personal attributes of social groups that can be overgeneralized and inaccurate. Prejudice is defined as preconceived negative judgments, while discrimination refers to unjustified negative behavior toward group members. Stereotypes ignore individual distinctiveness and discourage further investigation. Stereotypes are a type of generalization that function to create or sustain social inequalities through caricature and misrepresentation. Prejudice can stem from cognitive biases like stereotypes, a desire to categorize in-groups and out-groups, and illusionary correlations. Social and motivational factors like societal pressures, competition for resources, and social identity can also
Prejudice refers to prejudging someone or forming an opinion about them before knowing the relevant facts, usually in a negative way based on their group memberships. Stereotypes simplify our social world by reducing people to overgeneralized ideas about their group but can lead to prejudice when we assume certain characteristics of individuals based on their perceived group. Common types of prejudice include those based on gender, ethnicity/race, class, age, sexual orientation, disability, and more. It is important to be aware of our own prejudices and stereotypical thinking in order to prevent discrimination.
Resistance to social influence can be explained by social support and locus of control. Social support refers to how having dissenting peers reduces conformity and obedience by providing a model of resistance. People with an internal locus of control, who believe they have control over their own lives, are more likely to resist social pressure to conform or obey because they are more self-confident and less dependent on social approval. However, research on the relationship between locus of control and resistance has produced contradictory findings, suggesting it may be a less important factor than initially proposed.
This document discusses research into how men construct and negotiate experiences of distress and suicidal ideation in online support communities. The research questions examine constructions of masculinity and help-seeking, and how claims of suicidal thoughts are legitimized. Data will be collected from forums like Healthunlocked.com and Suicideforum.com through searches of key terms and analyzing posts and exchanges between men while maintaining anonymity. Ethical considerations include risks to communities and anonymizing data.
Stereotypes are overgeneralized beliefs about groups that tend to be simplifications. They are formed due to lack of knowledge about other people and are used to simplify social situations. While stereotypes can help with quick judgments, they ignore individual differences and can be incorrect. The movie "My Name is Khan" shows the disadvantages of stereotyping Muslims after 9/11, as the main character has to travel the US to tell people his name and that he is not a terrorist. Solutions involve open communication, tolerance, and social integration to reduce misconceptions.
This document discusses stereotypes from several perspectives:
1. It defines stereotypes as generalizations made about groups that get applied to individuals. Several theories on the origins of stereotypes are presented, including social categorization and the "grain of truth" hypothesis.
2. Research is summarized that shows how holding stereotypes can impact perceptions and expectations of others. Studies demonstrate stereotypes influence judgments of intelligence and ability.
3. Additional research shows how knowing stereotypes exist about one's own group can negatively impact performance through "stereotype threat."
4. The document ends by reviewing studies on ways stereotypes may be overcome, such as exposing children to counter-stereotypical media portrayals and increasing awareness of implicit biases
Stereotyping in mass media is based on the belief of white racial superiority and the portrayal of people of color as innately inferior. Widely used stereotypes in early American media included simplistic ideas, propensity toward violence, improper speech, low economic status, and being used as comedic foils. Examples that exemplified stereotyping included The Mask of Fu Manchu portraying Asians as deceitful opium users, The Lone Ranger portraying Native Americans as incapable of proper English, and Gone with the Wind portraying African Americans as only suitable for subservient roles and happy with slavery.
The document defines prejudice as a judgment formed before considering the facts that puts others at an unjust disadvantage. It discusses how prejudice arises from sources like socialization, competition over resources, and social learning of negative attitudes. Prejudice contains attitudes of favor/disfavor related to overgeneralized beliefs about social groups. The document also outlines steps that can be taken to reduce prejudice, such as direct intergroup contact, recategorization of groups, and cognitive interventions to reduce stereotyping.
The document discusses several theories of prejudice:
1) Frustration-aggression hypothesis argues that frustration leads to aggression, which is often displaced onto a scapegoat if the original source is unavailable or too powerful.
2) Adorno's authoritarian personality theory proposed that authoritarian child-rearing practices can lead to clusters of prejudices from childhood to adulthood, though situational factors are also important.
3) Social identity theory views prejudice as a way to maintain positive social identity and self-esteem by favoring the in-group over out-groups.
This document discusses the dehumanization of people with disabilities. It defines dehumanization as demonizing and making others feel less worthy of humane treatment. There are three main forms of dehumanization against people with disabilities: conceptual dehumanization through negative labels and insults; eco-behavioral dehumanization through punishment and confinement in inhumane environments; and reactive dehumanization where people deny emotions in those with disabilities. The document provides examples of cases where the legal system has failed to properly punish sexual assault crimes against people with disabilities, treating the perpetrators leniently. This represents how the system dehumanizes and fails to consider the impact on victims with disabilities.
The document discusses the relationship between qualitative research and politics. It addresses how to limit personal bias through transparency and pursuing falsifiability. It also discusses using research to champion social justice and rights. The document also covers politicizing research without compromising science, engaging in public discussion through critiques of concepts and institutions, and activism through advocacy groups and community-based research. It emphasizes the importance of critically analyzing research methods to reveal any limitations.
Social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals behave and think in social situations and how they interact with and influence others. Some key topics in social psychology include conformity, obedience, attitudes, persuasion, group processes, prejudice, aggression, and interpersonal relationships. Social psychology was introduced in the late 19th century to understand human behavior and phenomena like extreme obedience. It uses scientific methods to study how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by real or imagined presence of others.
This document describes a study that aims to measure implicit and explicit attitudes about sociosexuality using both a self-report questionnaire and an Implicit Association Test (IAT). The study administered the Big-Five Inventory personality questionnaire, the Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI-R) to measure explicit sociosexuality, and a new IAT designed to measure implicit attitudes about casual versus monogamous relationships. The study aims to validate the new IAT by seeing if it predicts the same relationships as the explicit SOI-R. Results from the personality questionnaire will also be used to predict scores on both the implicit and explicit sociosexuality measures. This will provide evidence about whether certain personality traits can predict both implicit

The document discusses slacktivism and analyzes motivations and behaviors of different groups on social media towards non-profit campaigns. A survey found that slacktivists and activists scored highest on openness and agreeableness, were most motivated by altruism, and slacktivists rated highest in conscientiousness. While slacktivists and activists were similar, slacktivists agreed most with being influenced to support causes on social media due to scoring high in both altruistic motivations and conscientiousness. The findings provide implications for how non-profits can engage different groups, particularly nurturing slacktivists through communication without overly emotional tactics.

Graham -the moral stereotypes of liberals and conservativesBethany Stachenfeld
This study investigated the moral stereotypes that liberals and conservatives hold about themselves and each other. The researchers found:
1) Across the political spectrum, moral stereotypes about "typical" liberals and conservatives correctly reflected actual differences in how strongly each group endorsed different moral values, but exaggerated the magnitude of these differences.
2) Contrary to theories of stereotyping, the moral stereotypes were not just simple underestimations of the outgroup's morality - both liberals and conservatives exaggerated the ideological extremity of moral concerns for their own group as well as the outgroup.
3) Liberals were the least accurate about the moral values of both liberals and conservatives. Moderates were generally the most accurate in their
This lecture discusses gender, sex, sexuality, and their relationship to law and society. It defines key terms like sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation. It explores how gender and sexuality are socially constructed and influenced by socialization agents like family and media. Gender roles are learned from a young age and reinforced over one's life. While views of gender and sexuality differ across cultures, stratification by gender through division of labor appears universally. The lecture also examines topics like sexism, discrimination, and heterosexism.
Asymmetric warfare group report psychological and sociological concepts of r...PublicLeaker
This document provides a summary of theories and concepts related to radicalization from psychology and sociology literature. It is intended as a general reference for military personnel. The document first discusses definitions and concepts around radicalization. It then outlines 16 theories that have been proposed to explain radicalization, such as relative deprivation theory and social identity theory. Next, it discusses 12 mechanisms through which radicalization can occur, at the individual, group and mass level, and provides examples. It also briefly discusses deradicalization programs. The document aims to bridge social science research and operational concerns by highlighting observable behaviors for each mechanism.
Asymmetric warfare group report psychological and sociological concepts of r...PublicLeaks
This document provides a summary of theories and concepts from psychology and sociology that are relevant to understanding the process of radicalization. It examines 16 theories that have been proposed to explain radicalization, such as relative deprivation theory, social network theory, and identity theory. It also analyzes 12 mechanisms through which radicalization can occur, such as mass radicalization through conflict with an outgroup or individual radicalization through personal grievance. For each mechanism, an example is given from the real world. Risk factors for radicalization and programs for deradicalization are also discussed. The purpose is to provide military personnel with an overview of the current understanding from social sciences around why and how radicalization happens.
MPA Poster for Gender Variance AcceptanceNancy Trexler
This study aimed to develop a measure of acceptance of gender variability called the Gender Variance Acceptance scale (GVA). Researchers administered the GVA, Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS), and a personality inventory to 301 undergraduate students. The GVA showed good internal reliability. Scores on the GVA were negatively correlated with the GTS, suggesting they measure different constructs than intended. GVA scores were also negatively correlated with openness and agreeableness. The study provides an initial measure of acceptance but could be improved with revisions to better define the construct being measured.
Main slide presentation for suicide prevention among lgbt youth workshopErnesto Dominguez
This document provides an overview of a workshop on suicide prevention among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. It begins with background on research showing higher rates of suicidal behavior among LGBT youth. The workshop objectives are then outlined, which include increasing understanding of terminology, research, risk and protective factors, and strategies for reducing suicidal behavior among LGBT youth. The document provides context on suicide as a public health issue and risk factors in general before focusing specifically on issues related to LGBT youth.
This document discusses several ethical issues that can arise in political research. It provides examples of studies that raised ethical concerns, such as the Milgram experiment and the Stanford prison experiment. It also discusses whether ethics are objective or subjective. The document examines different approaches to ethics like deontology and utilitarianism. It analyzes informed consent, privacy, deception, harm, and the role of funders, gatekeepers, and ethics committees in political research.
The document discusses definitions of homosexuality and bisexuality, as well as negative stereotypes, impacts, and conflicts faced by LGBTQ individuals. It then outlines the objectives, variables, tools, and results of a survey conducted in Kolkata, India on the relationship between intra-personal and inter-personal conflicts experienced by homosexual and bisexual individuals. The survey found that socioeconomic status, family support, societal awareness and norms significantly influence psychological conflicts. Resilience factors and implications for increasing social support and awareness are discussed.
This document introduces the concepts of culture, society, politics and identity. It defines identity as the characteristics that define individuals within social groups. It describes the fields of social sciences including anthropology, sociology, and political science. Anthropology studies human biology, culture and society. Sociology examines human social life and groups. Political science focuses on values of equality, freedom and justice in governance. The document discusses how social backgrounds and identities shape views and can drive social, cultural and political change.
The document discusses gender and sex portrayals in printed media. It finds that women are more likely to be portrayed as victims, caretakers, or sex objects, while men are more likely shown as independent, competitive, and aggressive. A survey of coworkers found that women feel more pressure to look like media portrayals and feel more victimized than men. Future research could explore how to promote healthy self-confidence and body images for both genders to reduce stereotypes.
This document provides an introduction to the book "Gay Science: The Ethics of Sexual Orientation Research" by Timothy F. Murphy. The introduction outlines the ongoing scientific and social debate around the origins and meaning of sexual orientations like homosexuality. It notes that while past research often assumed homosexuality was a psychological disorder, more recent research takes a neutral stance on causation but still has social implications. The introduction previews the book's aim to provide an ethical analysis of sexual orientation research and its potential impacts, both positive and negative, on gay people. It does not intend to argue for any particular causal theory but rather map out the relevant issues for discussion.
This chapter discusses three main approaches to studying political culture: social character, congruence, and social capital. It also examines the role of identity in politics, focusing on ethnicity, nationalism, and religion. Political culture can affect citizens' capabilities by constructing identities that privilege some groups over others, or by promoting high or low levels of generalized trust. Political scientists believe constructivism best explains violence related to identities, viewing them as socially constructed rather than innate or purely manipulated.
Self-Destructive Behavior and Suicide Prevention in AdolescenceTimo Purjo
This document discusses self-destructive behavior and suicide prevention from an existential and meaning-centered perspective. It summarizes research showing that suicidal thoughts are common among adolescents, with up to 30% considering suicide and 10% attempting. It critiques the current model that views suicide as a symptom of mental illness, arguing treatments targeting suicidal behavior directly have been more effective. The document emphasizes identifying reasons for living and positive factors that promote resilience to help prevent suicide.
The document discusses the history and methods of studying human sexuality. It covers topics like the rise of sex advice in media, challenges of objectivity in research, early researchers like Freud and Kinsey who brought sexuality into the scientific realm, and contemporary national surveys that provide insights but also face difficulties due to political and social climates. It emphasizes the need for future research to have expanded definitions of sexuality, more inclusion of diverse perspectives, and intervention-based studies to better understand human relationships and behaviors.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
