    Selecting films for sex research: Gender differences in erotic film preference

    No full text
    The official published version can be obtained from the link below.The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in sexual responsiveness to erotic films that had been selected for their differential appeal for men and women. A secondary objective was to identify variables that influence sexual arousal and explore whether these variables differ for men and women. Fifteen men (M age = 26 yrs) and 17 women (M age = 24 yrs) were presented with 20 film clips depicting heterosexual interactions, half of which were female- and the other half male-selected, and were asked to rate the clips on a number of dimensions. Overall, men found the film clips more sexually arousing than did the women. Gender differences in arousal were negligible for female-selected clips but substantial for male-selected clips. Furthermore, men and women experienced higher levels of sexual arousal to clips selected for individuals of their own gender. Cluster regression analyses, explaining 77% of the variance for male and 65% for female participants, revealed that men's sexual arousal was dependent upon the attractiveness of the female actor, feeling interested, and both imagining oneself as a participant and watching as an observer. For women, with all variables entered, only imagining oneself as a participant contributed to sexual arousal ratings. The findings suggest that how films are selected in sex research is an important variable in predicting levels of sexual arousal reported by men and women

    Adaptive Governance for a Resilient Digital Society

    No full text
    Governments are confronted with all kinds of changes in their digital environment, such as pandemics, fake news, and security breaches. These changes come with many uncertainties and are hard to predict, whereas decisions need to be made quickly to avoid a negative impact. Adaptive governance embraces uncertainty and complexity by enabling continuous learning, involving a wide range of diverse actors, and being able to react within a short time frame. Adaptive governance can be viewed as a governance philosophy based on a range of instruments to create adaptability. The conflicting values of stability and adaptability can be balanced in different ways by governments. The variety in the environment and the variety of instrument to adapt to the environment needs to be in concert. Adaptive governance instruments can be combined to increase their effectiveness and to create a resilient society. Further research in governance instruments, their usage, and their effectiveness is needed.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog

    Unraveling the Social-Technical Complexity of Dashboards for Transformation

    No full text
    The need for standardized and visualized performance monitoring on a wide range of topics has become apparent in recent years. In the public sector, there has been an increase in the number of dashboards to create transparency into the progress. Yet, the design of dashboards encounters many challenges ranging from technical to social. The goal of this research is to unravel the social-technical complexity of dashboards and outline their basic requirements and a process for creating dashboards. In addition to explicit project milestones, these also visualize digital implementation programs at the policy level.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
