Impact of gender and department gender stereotypes on occupational stress in university faculty
No full textThis study explored effects of gender and gender stereotype of department on occupational stress in university faculty. Respondents included 112 Ph.D. level faculty from two universities. They were given an occupational stress measure, a perceived stress measure, and a measure of gender-related comfort levels within their field. Results showed women had higher overall occupational stress as well as quantitative role overload. While there were no differences in respondents\u27 individual levels of gender-related comfort within their department, women perceived others of their gender to be less comfortable within their department than men did. There was also an interaction effect that showed that women in male-stereotyped departments perceived others of the same gender in their department to be least comfortable within their fields. This is consistent with findings that women show more occupational stress. The minimal effects of academic department on stress further suggest that gender is a concern across all fields

Prejudicial attitudes: the racial disparity in the punishment of criminal offenses
No full textThere presently exists a problem with African Americans being over represented in the justice system. This study examines the role of prejudicial attitudes in relation to this disparity. The strategy was to manipulate ethnicity and gender in a vignette describing a robbery, and compare participant\u27s responses. The first hypothesis was that due to prejudice, an African American male (versus Caucasian) would be punished more harshly. The second hypothesis examined the scores on a racism and punitive scale, and argued that high scores on these respective scales were indicative of prejudice. Stepwise multiple regression results were significant offering support to the second hypothesis. The ANOVA used to test the first hypothesis yielded no significant results. Implications of these findings are discussed
