The study examined the relationships between feminist identity development, gender role orientation, and psychological well-being in 244 women at a large southwestern university. It found that women with highly developed feminist identities and more masculine gender roles had greater psychological well-being, defined as life satisfaction and positive functioning. In contrast, women with lower feminist identity reported lower overall psychological well-being. The results supported the hypotheses that feminist identity development and gender role orientation independently influence women's psychological well-being.

Approach to adolescent turmoil
Adolesccence is the period of both vulnerability and opportunity hinged on the power of affective systems to influence behaviour
This presentation is about understanding the development in adolescents and ways to deal with a variety of manifestations which the storm of adolescence bring into one's life
Sexuality
This document discusses human sexuality and sexual development. It covers several topics: the definition of sexuality and sexual health; stages of sexual development from infancy through older adulthood; and some common sexual dysfunctions. Sexuality involves biological, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions and is important for overall health and well-being. Sexual development occurs across six stages from birth through older age, with changes in sexual interests, behaviors, and functioning at each stage as the body and relationships develop.
Casual sex and Well-Being
This poster presentation at the Annual Meeting of the International Academy of Sex Research in Chicago in August 2014 details two studies looking at the link between engaging in casual sex and psychological health over time. I find that the way casual sex impacts wellbeing depends on why people engage in casual sex (i.e., their casual sex motivation) and how strongly they are interested and approving of casual sex in general (i.e., their sociosexual orientation).
Friends Heal
Female friendships provide significant health and emotional benefits according to a recent UCLA study. The study found that close friendships between women help reduce stress and risk of illness through the release of oxytocin. Women with strong social support networks of female friends live longer and have better health outcomes than women without close friends. The study concludes that friendship among women is a source of strength, wellness, and health.
Eating Disorders
This document discusses eating disorders, their causes and effects. Eating disorders most commonly onset during adolescence and mainly affect adolescent girls. They are associated with many health risks and have high mortality rates. Current treatment options are lacking with less than 50% recovery rates. Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are influenced by biological factors, familial influences, personality traits, and psychological processes. More research is needed to better understand and treat eating disorders.

The aim of the present study is to make a comparative personality profile in the light of anger expression, narcissism and happiness among middle aged males and females. A sample of 100 middle aged individuals (50 males and 50 females) was selected. The variables selected for the study were anger expression, narcissism and happiness. Results indicate that happiness and narcissism both are positively correlated and basically self-love is found to be a basic source of happiness for both subsamples. Moreover, significant differences were found in case of anger expression and overall narcissism. Male counterparts were positioned at the top point of narcissism and anger expression and lack anger control but females have more anger out, anger reaction, superiority and vanity than male ones which pinpoints the fact that females tend to invest a great deal of energy in maintaining and preventing the experience and expression of anger. While controlling anger is certainly desirable, the over-control of anger may result in passivity, withdrawal and depression.
Reactions to Asexuality by Bibi Loizzo
This study was a test of the hypothesis that demographic variables (e.g. gender, education) would predict who would be closed minded about the idea of asexuality as a sexual orientation. The participants received the link to the survey on the researcher’s Facebook page. The survey asked the participants’ awareness of asexuality, educational background, feelings towards the topic of sex, religious background, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and where they were raised. The survey also asked three questions regarding the participants’ beliefs about asexuality as a sexual orientation. The results did show a significant affect on attitudes of gender, and previous education about asexuality. The study also found a strong but not significant relationship between attitudes and religiosity.

Theresearch suggests that peers on campus are important reference groups for college students’ unhealthy behavior, including unhealthy eating behavior. Guided by the Theory of Normative Social Behavior, the current study examined the role of group identity in the descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption link. The results suggest that the magnitude of the association between descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption was greater as group identity with same-sex students on campus became stronger. The findings demonstrate that students were likely to model unhealthy food consumption of same-sex peers on campus.

Sexual Pleasure in Women
Women's sexual pleasure and anatomy is complex, and education is key to understanding. The document discusses that women often don't know their own sexual needs and wants. It recommends women learn their female sexual anatomy like the vulva and clitoris, understand the brain-body connection, and improve self-knowledge and communication with partners to enhance physical and psychological well-being for a healthier sex life.
Sexual Dysfunction with Women Who have been Diagnosed with Diabetes
Sexual dysfunction with women who have been diagnosed with diabetes have been shown to suffer sexual issues.
Abstract
The document examines the association between postpartum depression and domestic violence against women before or during pregnancy. A literature review was conducted using research databases to gather studies on women from different backgrounds. The review focused on examining populations studied and trends. Key findings show a clear positive relationship between postpartum depression and domestic violence. Promoting early screenings for domestic violence and depression in new mothers can positively impact their mental health. An accurate identification of high-risk women will be determined to promote preventive measures.
Relationships & Health By Ms. Anu Mehta
Healthy relationships are vital for health and well-being. Strong social relationships are linked to longer, healthier lives, as people with strong relationships are 50% less likely to die prematurely. Having caring friends provides a buffer against stress, and those with strong relationships recover faster from stressful tasks. Relationships also promote better health - people with strong relationships are half as likely to catch colds when exposed to viruses. Conversely, loneliness is linked to higher risks of depression, decreased immune function, higher blood pressure, and other health problems.

What Causes Eating Disorders?
While the exact causes of eating disorders are unknown, factors that contribute include psychological issues like depression and low self-esteem, interpersonal problems such as abusive family environments or bullying, and sociocultural pressures to attain an unrealistic body image. Biologically, eating disorders may be genetic, passing in families. Once developed, eating disorders can form self-perpetuating cycles requiring professional treatment to overcome.
British Journal of Developmental Psychology
This document summarizes research from a special issue of the British Journal of Developmental Psychology on gender and relationships. It includes 14 research papers that examine topics like gender differences in aggression, problem behaviors, self-disclosure, emotion understanding, and the impact of adverse life events on emotional and behavioral problems. The concluding section reflects on past research and the need to integrate different theoretical traditions to better understand predictors and pathways for girls and boys. It also discusses the importance of using this research to prevent discrimination and expand possibilities for both genders.

Despite facing greater discrimination and lower socioeconomic status, African Americans typically have better mental health outcomes than whites. This study examines the relationship between racism-related coping strategies and mental health among African Americans using a national survey. The researchers identified three main coping dimensions - objection, internal attribution, and acquiescence. Acquiescence, or accepting discrimination as fact, was the most common strategy. Objection and internal attribution were linked to higher depressive symptoms. Educational attainment impacted strategy use - those with more education were more likely to object to discrimination. The study provides insight into coping strategies among African Americans and their association with mental health.
Outdoor Activity Improves Mental Health Among Veterans
The document discusses a study that found outdoor activities improved the mental health of veterans. The study of over 90 veterans found that those who participated in wilderness experiences reported better psychological well-being, more positive views of life, and better social functioning and mental health after the experience. Additionally, veterans who participated were more likely to engage in outdoor exploration on their own. As a result, many veteran organizations promote and provide outdoor activity opportunities in addition to therapeutic services.

Pia is a 16-year-old who is overweight, pale, avoids eye contact, and gives brief indifferent answers. She drinks excessively, is sexually active with older men, and is pregnant for the second time but does not want her parents notified. Adolescence is traditionally considered a period of turmoil, but recent studies suggest this turmoil has been exaggerated. Pia needs counseling, to join support groups, and appointments for sexual education, nutrition advice, and to discuss her abortion options.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between religiosity, spirituality, and health outcomes in older adults. It finds that religiosity and religious coping increase with age, and are linked to better mental health outcomes like well-being and lower depression. Studies also associate religiosity with better physical health and lower mortality. However, the exact nature of the relationship is complex, with open questions around causality and possible psychological or social factors that may mediate the effects.
Growth and development
Growth refers to dimensional augmentation, cellular multiplication, or quantitative changes in size, weight, and number. Development involves a progressive, orderly series of changes leading to maturity. The key differences between growth and development are: (1) Growth refers to changes in quantitative aspects like size, while development refers to qualitative changes resulting in improved functioning. (2) Growth stops at maturity but development is continuous throughout life. (3) Development is a broader term that can include growth as one aspect, but also includes physical, social, emotional, and intellectual changes.
Midlife crisis final
A midlife crisis is a normal transition experienced between ages 40-60 where people take stock of their lives and may make changes. It can involve feelings like unhappiness, boredom, or confusion about identity and life choices. Men may experience issues like decreased sex drive, sleep problems, or changes in appearance. For women, it can involve doubts about value or career, lost confidence, or questioning choices. Both men and women commonly deal with changes in sexuality including issues like erectile dysfunction or reduced libido during this phase. Menopause is also a natural life change where hormone level changes can cause symptoms for several years before and after the last period.

This article investigates associations between sexual desire, affect, context, and time of day in depressed young women. It summarizes previous research showing both reduced and unchanged sexual desire in depressed adult women. The study uses momentary sampling to examine 44 depressed young women aged 18 on average. Results show sexual desire was experienced when with boyfriends and later in the evening. Sexual desire was also positively associated with positive affect but not negative affect or physical context. The findings suggest depressed young women experience sexual desire in normative social contexts and help correct assumptions they lack sexual desire.
Social anxiety
Mean age of onset is in the mid-teens, and the onset after age 30 is uncommon. Although prevalence of SAD is greatest among young adults, for many sufferers the disorder is quiet chronic. Prevalence is also greater among persons who are much less educated and those who are single. Additionally, SAD is usually accompanied by comorbid disorders, such as mainly depression, substance abuse, or other anxiety disorders, which can further impair functioning. SAD has been shown in many studies and investigations to be associated with impairment and disability. SAD increases the risk of dropout from school, the work absence, unemployment, and utilization of social welfare, causing significant financial costs for the society.
When compared with persons with no psychiatric disorder, having SAD is allied with financial dependency and increased rates of suicidal ideation.

Midlife transition/Midlife Crisis
Midlife transition or midlife crisis are experienced by most of the people, thought the reasons for it can be different and cope up mechanism with midlife crisis also vary from individual to individual. Here is an expert's view of how midlife transition influences individual's life from career, health, relationship and lifestyle perspectives.
Midlife Crisis In Women Pp
During middle age, women experience biological and psychological changes that can impact their health and well-being. Menopause is a major biological factor, leading to hormone deficiencies and increased risks of conditions like depression, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Symptoms of menopause vary between ethnic groups. While women experience more non-life threatening illnesses, men face more serious health issues. Stress can also weaken the immune system and increase health risks. Cognitive abilities evolve in middle adulthood, with fluid intelligence declining but crystallized intelligence and practical problem-solving improving through experience and education. Many people also develop more complex, relativistic thinking or strengthen their spiritual beliefs during this stage of life.
Factors affecting the psychological well-being of dementia caregivers
The document reports on a study that examined factors related to caregiver burden for those caring for patients with dementia. It provides characteristics of the patients and caregivers in the study. Various scales were used to measure stressors like problem behaviors; outcomes like psychological wellbeing and depression; mediators like social support and mastery; and moderators like caregiver gender. Results showed problem behaviors were correlated with poorer psychological wellbeing and depression. Caregiver gender moderated the relationship between problem behaviors and psychological wellbeing, with a stronger effect for female caregivers. Social support and religious faith also mediated the relationships between stressors and outcomes.
Psyc Of Women Presentation
This study examined women's use of prescription drugs to cope with sexual assault. The researchers interviewed 102 sexual assault survivors about their demographic characteristics, mental and physical health, and past 6-month drug use. They found that 43% of women reported using prescription sedatives, tranquilizers or antidepressants, primarily obtained from doctors. Employed women and those with mental or physical health problems were more likely to use drugs. While most obtained drugs legally, some resorted to illicit use. Only half disclosed their assault to doctors. The implications suggest that doctors may inadequately address sexual trauma and its causes, instead prescribing drugs that could enable dependency.
An Evidence-Based Synthesis of Dementia Caregiver Interventions
The document summarizes the author's evidence-based review of interventions for dementia caregivers. The author conducted a systematic search and appraisal of the literature. They analyzed the evidence for different intervention types, including psychoeducation, support groups, respite care, psychotherapy, and multi-component interventions. The evidence was mixed, but multi-component, individualized interventions that were flexible and ongoing showed the most benefit in improving caregiver outcomes and delaying nursing home placement. The author concludes more research is still needed due to limitations in existing studies.
Authentic/Ethical leadership & psychological well being
This document discusses leadership styles and their relationship to psychological well-being. It focuses on authentic and ethical leadership styles specifically. The objective is to study these two styles and their correlation with leader well-being using a leadership and well-being scale. It aims to understand how different leadership styles may impact a leader's psychological health and which effects are positive or negative. Understanding these relationships can help leaders select styles that improve their well-being and performance.

Surviving an Identity Crisis, by Michael Mamas
When in an identity crisis, it is no time to make radical changes. Yet without a strong sense of the inner self, it can feel like a strong change is necessary. During an identity crisis, it is time to look beyond emotions, to that wise place that lies deep within.
Lecture 5, on gender & sexuality
This document provides an overview of key topics in gender studies, including definitions of sex, gender, and sexual orientation. It discusses both biological and social constructionist perspectives on gender, as well as different feminist theories regarding gender inequality, including liberal, socialist/Marxist, and radical feminism. The core ideas of these feminist theories are outlined, such as their views on patriarchy, capitalism, and the role of the family in perpetuating women's subordination.
ADL 110 Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Motivation Final music
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It defines intrinsic motivation as deriving from internal rewards like enjoyment or competence, while extrinsic motivation involves external rewards like money or grades. Both can fulfill human needs but intrinsic motivation is important for development. The document examines motivation in educational and workplace contexts, noting balanced intrinsic and extrinsic motivation benefits diversity. It concludes balancing the two motivations using a framework respecting differences achieves total motivation.
The relationship between extrinsic intrinsic motivation and language learning...
This document is a thesis that examines the relationship between extrinsic/intrinsic motivation and language learning strategies among English college students in Taiwan. It uses self-determination theory to investigate students' learning motivation. A total of 307 English majors completed surveys on motivation and strategy use, which were analyzed using factor analysis and correlation analysis. The results showed that external motivation was most common and evaluating and planning strategies were most used. Intrinsic motivation correlated highly with four learning strategies, while integrated motivation correlated with cognitive strategies. The study suggests teachers understand students' motivation and strategies to help students improve language learning.
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Issues in Development
This document provides an overview of LGBT and intersex issues in international development. It finds that knowledge of these issues among Sida and MFA staff is often inadequate. LGBT issues are not explicitly addressed in most Swedish policy documents. Support for LGBT inclusion is left to individual program officers' discretion, focusing mainly on men who have sex with men and HIV. The situation of LGBT and intersex people in case study countries South Africa, India, and Moldova shows legal discrimination and societal marginalization compared to heterosexual people. Recommendations include mainstreaming LGBT rights in programming, increasing support for advocacy, and comprehensive staff training on these issues.

This document discusses different theories of motivation, including intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation from internal factors like enjoyment or interest in a task, while extrinsic motivation comes from external factors like rewards or competition. The document also discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how basic needs must be met before higher-level needs. It examines theories like incentive theory, reinforcement principles, and Steven Reiss's 16 basic desires that guide human behavior and define personalities. Designers must understand what motivates end users to create designs that convey the desired message.

It summarizes an ordinance passed in 2014 that added these protections and was placed on the April 2015 ballot for a potential repeal. It also outlines goals from a 2010 strategic plan, including coordinating with businesses, schools, and government to promote diversity and prohibit discrimination. Concerns raised include broad investigatory powers for complaints and impacts on religious exemptions and use of public facilities by transgender individuals.
Gender Analysis Framework & Planning (B.R. Siwal)
The document discusses several gender analysis frameworks that can be used to assess how policies, programs, and projects differentially impact men and women. It describes frameworks like the Harvard Analytical Framework, Moser's triple roles framework, and Longwe's Women's Empowerment Framework. Each framework asks different questions to analyze factors like who does what work, who has access to and control over resources, and how interventions may affect gender roles, status, and responsibilities.
Motivation in the classroom
This document defines motivation and discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in education. It defines motivation as stimulating behavior toward a goal. Intrinsic motivation comes from an inherently enjoyable activity itself, while extrinsic motivation involves external rewards separate from the activity's enjoyment. While extrinsic rewards can stimulate learning, overuse may undermine intrinsic motivation if students focus on the rewards rather than learning. The document examines different views of motivation and strategies teachers can use to motivate students intrinsically.
Genetics & Nature vs. Nurture
This document discusses the nature vs nurture debate around factors that influence human behavior. It explores how both genetics and environment play a role, using examples from twin studies and research on genes, test scores, success, and stress response. A key point is that a new field of epigenetics has shown that environment can modify genes through chemical tags, turning some on or off, meaning nature and nurture have a more complex interaction than previously understood. Overall, the document aims to show that both genetics and life experiences influence human behavior in complex ways.
Gender Analysis
The session presents gender analysis tools that can be used during project design, implementation and evaluation. The gender analysis tools will help to make the development intervention gender sensitive, so that the benefits of project reach both women and men.
Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how intrinsic motivation comes from within an individual for fun or the greater good, while extrinsic motivation involves external factors like rewards. It also covers how autonomy, mastery, and purpose are related to intrinsic motivation and drive individuals. Finally, it states that intrinsic motivation is generally stronger than extrinsic and new teaching methods can improve performance in classrooms as motivation is an interesting topic.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
The document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It defines intrinsic motivation as engaging in an activity for its own sake rather than for external rewards. Extrinsic motivation involves doing something for external rewards like money or praise. The document also discusses factors that influence intrinsic motivation like developing relationships and building confidence. It explores the role of neurobiology in language learning and how the amygdala specifically impacts affect and appraisal of learning situations. Finally, it addresses issues with measuring affective factors through self-reports, including problems with validity and cultural bias.
Gender identity and sexual orientation
Sex, gender identity, and gender expression can exist on spectrums that are different than traditional norms. Gender identity refers to one's internal sense of self as male, female, both, or neither, which may or may not correspond to their sex assigned at birth. There are many terms used to describe various gender identities including transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, and more which challenge societal expectations of gender roles and expressions.
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation
The document discusses student motivation for pursuing an MBA degree. It defines motivation and discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Several motivation theories are explained, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Surveys were conducted of MBA students across disciplines on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels. Results found most students highly intrinsically motivated regardless of gender or discipline. The conclusion is that students have a positive attitude towards the MBA course and are mainly intrinsically motivated to join. Suggestions include improving the learning environment and cultivating value awareness of other courses. Limitations include the abstract nature of motivation and respondents' understanding.
Self Esteem and Self Confidence
Self esteem refers to a positive overall evaluation of oneself and the feeling that one is competent and worthy. It is developed from both positive experiences like praise and success, as well as negative experiences like criticism or failure. Maintaining healthy self esteem involves pursuing accomplishments, focusing on strengths, and spending time with supportive people.

Emotional Consequences Of Post Abortion Power Point Presentation
The document discusses the emotional consequences of post-abortion and identifies several factors that can affect a woman's psychological response. It reviews three literature articles that examined how age, marital status, religion, social support, the abortion setting, and trimester of termination can influence a woman's experience. The articles found that while most women feel relief immediately after the procedure, some experience regret, depression or guilt depending on their specific circumstances. The conclusion identifies seven predictors of difficulty adjusting after an abortion such as a history of mental illness or an unsupportive partner or religious background.
Gendered Ethics
This document discusses research on the relationship between gender and ethical perspectives. Some key points:
- Previous research has found that women tend to choose ethical options over unethical ones more often than men.
- The author conducted an experiment that found a relationship between gender identity (masculine, feminine, androgynous) and preference for different ethical perspectives (care-focused or justice-focused).
- Those with feminine gender identities tended to prefer care-focused ethical perspectives, while masculine and androgynous participants favored justice-focused perspectives.
- This provides some support for theories that gender influences how people approach ethical decision-making. However, more research is still needed to fully understand this relationship.
Gender SCHOOL AND SOCIETY
Further, the differentiation between gender and sex came in the discourse to
define the secondary status of women. Historically it is widespread that different
traits, roles, responsibilities and characteristics between men and women in society
regulated by different social institutions are determined by their gender which is
acceptable and not changeable in society and it is because of their biological
differences which make women, accountable for their secondary status in society.
And this phenomenology existing naturally which highlight the issues of gender
discrimination, exploitation, inequalities and injustice in the society regulated by
norms and values .Gender roles vary greatly in different societies, cultures and historical periods
as well as they depend also on socio-economic factors, age, education, ethnicity and
religion. Although deeply rooted, gender roles can be changed over time, since social
values and norms are not static.
Gender
Gender refers to the psychological sense of maleness or femaleness related to one's culture or society, whereas sex refers to biological attributes. Gender development involves learning gender roles and stereotypes from a young age through socialization. Gender identity forms between ages 2-3 and involves identifying as male or female, while gender constancy develops at ages 6-7 with the understanding that gender is permanent. Gender stereotyping can be positive or negative, but is inherently harmful as it reduces individuals to narrow roles and leads to making assumptions about people based on their gender.
Social learning theory
This document summarizes several theories of gender development and differentiation, including:
- Psychoanalytic theory which posits identification with same-sex parents leads to gender typing. However, there is little empirical support.
- Cognitive developmental theory proposes gender constancy is required for gender typing, but studies do not support this.
- Gender schema theory suggests gender labeling guides gendered conduct, but evidence linking labeling and preferences is mixed.
- Social cognitive theory integrates psychological and social factors across the lifespan, moving beyond early childhood focus of other theories.

The study investigated how race and age affect perceptions of friendliness. 57 female college students rated photos of women on friendliness. Results showed:
1) Participants rated college-aged targets as friendlier than middle-aged targets, but did not rate racially congruent targets as significantly friendlier.
2) Participants rated racially incongruent college-aged targets as significantly friendlier than middle-aged targets, but did not differ in ratings for racially congruent targets.
3) There was a significant interaction between race and age on friendliness ratings.

Attitudes toward suicide may influence the
treatment content and outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to
investigate how public attitudes toward suicide were influenced
by (1) their degree of idealism; and (2) their degree of
relativism. A questionnaire survey with Suicide Perception
Scale and Ethic Position Questionnaire was carried out on 50
male and 50 female participants (aged 21 and above) from
Klang Valley, Malaysia to obtain answer. The findings
supported both hypotheses, indicated that (1) higher idealism is
associated with lower level of acceptance toward suicide; and
(2) higher relativism is associated with higher level of
acceptance toward suicide. In sum, variations in public’s
attitude toward suicide were related to individual differences in
personal ethical ideologies and moral philosophies.Brownpresentation
Spitzer conducted a study to determine if reparative therapy could help individuals change their sexual orientation from predominantly homosexual to predominantly heterosexual. The study interviewed 200 participants who reported this change following therapy. However, critics argue the study had significant biases and limitations, including relying on self-reported data over a long period of time without ensuring participant confidentiality. The study also failed to clearly define key terms like sexual orientation and desires. As a result, the validity of Spitzer's findings that reparative therapy can successfully change sexual orientation is questionable.

Twenty female undergraduate students participated in a study with a 2x2 between-subjects design manipulating positive vs negative essay prompts and articles about control vs no control over body image. Participants ranked domains of importance and completed self-efficacy measures. Those who wrote negatively about body image had higher self-efficacy for unimportant domains compared to those who wrote positively. There was a positive correlation between time spent on a Rubik's Cube task and self-efficacy for important domains. Non-significant trends suggested those who wrote negatively had similar self-efficacy for important and unimportant domains, and lower task persistence, compared to other groups. The study provides preliminary evidence that negative body image primes can influence motivation across domains of varying importance. However

Sample Study: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Stereotypes
Introduction. Stereotypes are sets of expectations about a social group or category of people, often suggesting particular characteristics and behaviors typical of members of that group. Often the expectations are negative ones. For example, a group of people might be regarded as lazy, shiftless, unwilling to work, and not terribly smart. As bad as stereotypes are, what is even worse is that sometimes the expectations for behaviors based on stereotypes lead people to behave in the manner expected. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy — an assumption that, once having been made, leads to the predicted event occurring. For example, all of us form first impressions about people based on visible characteristics such as gender, age, race, and physical attractiveness. In many cases, those impressions are biased and negative. However, when we act upon them, we may encourage people to behave in the negative ways we expect. But how do we separate this self-fulfilling prophecy effect from real differences that might describe a category of people? In an intriguing social psychological experiment, Mark Snyder (1977) created a study that did just this — permitting us to see how the physical attractiveness of a woman can lead men to treat her differently, leading her, in turn, to act in a manner consistent with that stereotype.
Research Methods. Snyder expected that the physical attractiveness of people influences the perception of them by others and the way others treat them. To test this, Snyder (1977) had 51 male and 51 female undergraduate students at the University of Minnesota interact with one another in male-female dyads in which they could not see one another but could talk via telephone. A photograph of either a physically attractive or physically unattractive female was randomly assigned to each dyad. The photographs were not actually of the females with whom the males were interacting. This effectively created two groups: one with a woman the man perceived as attractive and the other with a woman the man did not perceive as attractive. At that point, before any interaction took place, each male was asked to provide his first impressions of the female (based on the picture only) on a number of characteristics. Each dyad then engaged in ten-minute unstructured conversation in which the statements by the male and female were recorded on separate channels of an audiotape, so they could be analyzed separately later. Then 12 raters were asked to rate e.

This study examined whether a person's need for sex predicts their comfort with casual sex and likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behaviors. 111 participants completed online questionnaires measuring their need for sex, views on casual sex, and sexual history. Higher need for sex correlated with more unrestricted views of casual sex and a higher frequency of risky sexual encounters. However, there was no significant interaction between the three measures. The findings suggest an individual's need for sex can impact their psychology and behaviors regarding casual and risky sex, which has implications for understanding hazardous sexual behavior.

The document outlines biological, social, and cognitive influences on gender development from childhood through adolescence. It discusses how sex hormones, social roles, parenting styles, and cognitive gender schemas shape whether children exhibit more masculine or feminine traits based on their culture's expectations. While some average differences exist between males and females, there is also considerable overlap, and both biological and sociocultural factors contribute to outcomes. Gender stereotyping increases in early childhood but declines again by late adolescence.

This document summarizes a study that investigated young women's definitions of sex through semi-structured interviews. The study found that young women's definitions of sex varied, with some including oral and anal sex and others not. Participants described factors like time between acts, condom use, and erection as defining separate sex events. Some saw sex beginning with foreplay while others defined it as beginning with vaginal penetration. Views also varied on when sex ended, such as with withdrawal or orgasm. Relationship type influenced some participants' definitions. The study concluded that variations in definitions may impact responses to clinical questions and understanding of STI risk.

INTRODUCTION
Let us begin our exploration of the many dimensions of human sexuality by examining how they affect the life of one person: Lisa, an 18-year-old college freshman, involved in her first serious—and sexual—relationship. After several months of dating, Lisa experiences the scare of her life: Her period is late. After a few days she purchases a home-pregnancy kit. As she waits until the morning to take the test, she begins to think about the role of sexuality in her life.
Like most people who grow up in the United States today, Lisa received basic sexuality education in public school. But that brief overview—which Lisa and her friends giggled through—touched only on the physical aspects of reproduction. Nothing prepared her for the emotions she felt during her current relationship, or how her social and cultural upbringing would affect her sexual behavior.
Lisa is a Korean American, a member of a family who respect heritage and tradition. Her parents, a university professor and a homemaker, were born in Korea and had an arranged marriage. The traditional Korean view of sexuality is conservative, and virginity is highly prized for marriage. Although Lisa holds on to many traditional views, she also struggles with the permissive attitude toward sexuality that prevails in the U.S. culture today—an attitude that her boyfriend shares (Brennan, 1999).
An unexpected pregnancy for Lisa would be a major tragedy in her family. Pregnancy outside marriage would shame not only the individual (and make her an “unperson”) but also the entire family. Her family could choose to exile her.
Korean Americans tend not to tolerate secrecy by children and exert strict parental control. The Korean culture discourages open discussion of feelings and seeking out of psychological counseling. Thus Lisa is in a crisis because she feels she cannot tell her parents, but she also cannot tell anyone else (who may in turn tell her parents). In fact, Lisa has yet to tell her boy ...

Analysis of a Half-Century of Research on Women and Gender
Alice H. Eagly Northwestern University
Asia Eaton and Suzanna M. Rose Florida International University
Stephanie Riger University of Illinois at Chicago
Maureen C. McHugh Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Starting in the 1960s, feminists argued that the discipline of
psychology had neglected the study of women and gender
and misrepresented women in its research and theories.
Feminists also posed many questions worthy of being ad-
dressed by psychological science. This call for research
preceded the emergence of a new and influential body of
research on gender and women that grew especially rap-
idly during the period of greatest feminist activism. The
descriptions of this research presented in this article derive
from searches of the journal articles cataloged by
PsycINFO for 1960–2009. These explorations revealed (a)
a concentration of studies in basic research areas investi-
gating social behavior and individual dispositions and in
many applied areas, (b) differing trajectories of research
on prototypical topics, and (c) diverse theoretical orienta-
tions that authors have not typically labeled as feminist.
The considerable dissemination of this research is evident
in its dispersion beyond gender-specialty journals into a
wide range of other journals, including psychology’s core
review and theory journals, as well as in its coverage in
introductory psychology textbooks. In this formidable body
of research, psychological science has reflected the pro-
found changes in the status of women during the last
half-century and addressed numerous questions that these
changes have posed. Feminism served to catalyze this
research area, which grew beyond the bounds of feminist
psychology to incorporate a very large array of theories,
methods, and topics.
Keywords: gender, women, psychological science, femi-
nism
The dawning of the 20th century’s second wave offeminist activism in the 1960s brought exceptionalattention to the discipline of psychology. In The
Feminine Mystique (Friedan, 1963), an opening salvo of
the new social movement, Friedan laid some of the blame
for women’s disadvantaged status on the influence of Freud
and his followers. Although Friedan did not analyze the
specifics of the wider content of psychological science, she
condemned the entire social science endeavor: “Instead of
destroying the old prejudices that restricted women’s lives,
social science in America merely gave them new authority”
(Friedan, 1963, p. 117). As Friedan and other feminists
denounced the limits that society had placed on women’s
lives, they not only critiqued the discipline of psychology
as part of the problem but also raised a host of issues that
could potentially be addressed by psychological research.
In this article, we examine the extent to which psycholog-
ical research has addressed many of these issues.
Feminist psychologists soon extended Friedan’s
(1963) analy.

Stereotype Threat and the Gender Gap in Political Knowledge
This study examined whether stereotype threat contributes to the observed gender gap in political knowledge. Researchers conducted phone surveys of college students, varying the interviewer's gender and information provided about the test. They found that women scored higher when interviewed by other women or when told the test was non-diagnostic of gender differences. The results suggest that concerns over confirming negative stereotypes can negatively influence women's scores on political knowledge tests.

This study examined how college students in the US and Spain viewed executive leadership roles in masculine (auto manufacturing) and feminine (clothing manufacturing) industries. Researchers found that women saw leadership roles as more positive in feminine industries, while men viewed them as more positive in masculine industries. Both sexes considered leadership roles as equally positive overall, but men saw the roles as more possible than women. Women associated leadership with helping others, while men associated it with relationships at work. The study suggests internalized gender expectations, not external barriers, influence career perceptions and possibilities more than previously believed.
Menarchy
This document discusses research on women's experiences with menstruation. Several studies found that many women received little information about menstruation from expected sources like mothers and school. This led to confusion and inaccurate beliefs. Some cultures have rituals celebrating a girl's first period, but most Western cultures do not. Research also found associations between a history of abuse, stress levels, and severity of premenstrual symptoms in women. However, menstruation can also be viewed positively and as an affirmation of womanhood. The document concludes by asking how the next generation's experiences with menstruation could be improved through education.
Gender Differences
This study examined differences in how men and women perceive sexual interest after brief opposite-sex interactions. The study found that men perceived women as more sexually interested than women perceived men. However, gender schemas did not seem to influence perceptions, as masculine men did not oversexualize more than other groups. Physical attraction strongly correlated with men's ratings of women's sexual traits and desire for future interactions.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
