Gender and race influence young adults\u27 impressions of people with dementia
Get PDFAlzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) are becoming more common among older adults around the United States, including African Americans, who are twice as likely to be clinically diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Though it is counter-intuitive, young adults are important when examining the future projections of ADRD because they will be the future caretakers of older adults. The current study investigated whether impressions of people with dementia are influenced by the interaction of gender and race among young adults. In Phase 1, young adults (N = 157, ages 18-25, median age = 20) completed a reverse correlation task where they were randomly assigned to select over many trials one face among 12 presented that most looked like either a person, a man, a woman, a black man, or a black woman diagnosed with dementia. Their choices were used to generate classification images of people diagnosed with dementia. Consistent with the intersectional invisibility hypothesis, men were the default when imagining people diagnosed with dementia. In Phase 2, MTurk participants (N = 108, ages 23-64, median age = 35) rated classification images of people with dementia generated by Phase 1 participants. Inconsistent with the multiple jeopardy hypothesis, attitudes toward dementia were not more negative for Black men, Black women, or women compared to people with dementia. In fact, Black women were rated more competent than Black men and race not specified women and men. The current research highlights the need for intersectional approaches to understanding attitudes and stereotypes related to dementia

Eye of the Tiger: Does Cultural Mismatch Affect the Evaluation of Graduate Program Brochures?
Get PDFAlthough first-generation college students (FGCS) are enrolling in graduate school at the same rate as continuing-generation students (CGCS), they are earning their degrees significantly slower or not at all. We add to the growing literature by examining whether the independent culture encouraged at many American universities clashes with the interdependent culture of FGCS. We hypothesized that when participants are randomly assigned to read an independently focused brochure, FGCS compared with CGCS will report a lower tendency to seek college resources, self-efficacy, and persistence. FGCS and CGCS read an independent or interdependent focused ecopsychology graduate program brochure and indicated their self-efficacy for eco-psychology, persistence in continuing the program, and utilization of resources on their college campus. No significant interactions emerged between generational status and brochure type for any of the dependent measures; instead, interest in ecopsychology was a robust predictor of pursuing ecopsychology, student\u27s expectations for attending an eco-psychology program, students’ academic self-efficacy, and students’ academic fit with ecopsychology. The post hoc analysis revealed a significant interaction effect between student generational status and brochure type on interest in ecology, recycling, and environmental issues, such that CGCS who read the interdependent brochure versus the independent brochure expressed more interest in ecology, recycling, and the environment. Additional analyses found that a significant interaction emerged between generational status and brochure type for interest in ecology, recycling, and the environment. Implications of cultural mismatch and variability in the FGCS population are discussed
Triumph after Trauma: A Phenomenological Exploration into Women Survivor’s Perceptions of the Influence of Trauma on their Leadership
Get PDFMost research around trauma is focused on negative life consequences. Although limited, there is research that explores the influence of resilience and how some survivors may experience growth after trauma (Kirschman, 2004). Furthermore, research is limited on how trauma influences the leadership style and career trajectories of women who have overcome trauma. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used as the methodological framework to explore the perspectives of women leaders who identify as survivors or overcomers of trauma. The study participants are women leaders in middle management positions to senior-level executives in educational organizations serving middle and high school students.
In-depth interviews were used to explore their lived experiences and uncover themes within the domains of childhood trauma, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. Major themes emerged from the data within each of the domains demonstrating triumph after trauma. The participants revealed an alternative narrative to adverse life outcomes associated with trauma and utilized their lived experiences as motivation to benefit themselves and others. Moreover, they demonstrated resilience and post-traumatic growth in their pursuit to support youth in need by mentoring and advocating for opportunities through education, empathy, and leadership. Additionally, participants demonstrated effective leadership practices within the Bolman and Deal Leadership Typology, with all participants utilizing multiple leadership frames. Participants also reported hyper-independence and workaholism due to their trauma, indicating a need to promote work cultures with additional resources that support leaders and staff who have experienced trauma.
Implications for practice in educational organizations and institutions include trauma-informed leadership training, inclusive work cultures and hiring practices, and promotion of wellness, self-care, and support networks to reduce burnout and enhance the quality of life in the workplace. Implications for practice for at-risk girls and young women include natural mentorship, positive coping mechanisms, and leadership opportunities. The results of this study suggest a need to move from conceptual ideas around this phenomenon to a transformational theory grounded in data from lived experiences informing future prevention, intervention, and leadership initiatives for women and girls
