Sexists observing sexism: consequences for female targets of benevolent and hostile sexism
No full textA growing body of research has documented the deleterious effects of benevolent sexism on women‟s performance, self-construals of competence, and acceptance of gender inequality (Barreto, Ellemers, Piebinga, & Moya, 2010; Dardenne, Dumont, & Bollier, 2007; Jost & Jay, 2005). Less research has examined perceptions of women who are the victims of benevolent sexism. Notably, Good and Rudman (2010) found that hostile sexist observers were particularly likely to punish a gender atypical female job applicant when she was treated with benevolent sexism by a male interviewer as opposed to hostile sexism or no sexism. The current research builds upon this finding to test a novel Model of Incongruent Sexism (MIS), in which ambivalent sexist perceivers‟ evaluations of a female target vary as a function of her gender typicality and the type of sexist treatment she receives. Study 1 (N = 281) tested the MIS by having undergraduate participants read a job interview transcript featuring a woman applying for a gender typical vs. atypical job, who was treated with benevolent vs. hostile sexism by a male interviewer. Results did not support the MIS in its current form, but indicated that hostile sexist observers punished a female job candidate regardless of her gender typicality. In Study 2 (N = 269) undergraduate participants listened to an audio recording of a job interview featuring a female applicant applying for a gender atypical job who either accepted or rejected a benevolent sexist male interviewer‟s treatment. Results showed that observers who evaluated the male sexist interviewer favorably tended to rate the applicant as less competent and therefore less hireable. When the applicant rejected the benevolent sexist treatment, female observers evaluated the applicant as more competent and the interviewer as less favorable; however this pattern was not found for men. Across both studies, a novel measure of appearance gender typicality was tested, showing preliminary reliability, convergent, and discriminant validity. Implications for reducing sexism in the workplace are discussed.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jessica J. Goo
Reconciling the costs and benefits of gender conformity:: the role of motivation
No full textPast research has shown that valuing gender conformity is associated with both positive (Guerrero-Witt & Wood, 2007; Wood, Christensen, Hebl, & Rothgerber, 1997) and negative (Sanchez & Crocker, 2005) consequences for self-esteem and positive affect. The current research sought to reconcile these conflicting findings in two studies by considering the role of autonomous (behaviors that are freely chosen) and pressured (behaviors engaged in due to pressure from others or situation) motivation to engage in gendered behavior (communal behavior for women and agentic behavior for men). Consistent with hypotheses, structural equation modeling in Study 1 demonstrated that autonomous motivation for gender consistent behavior was positively associated with explicit self-esteem and private regard for gender identity, while pressured motivation was negatively associated with explicit self-esteem. Study 2 found that investment in gender ideals and external contingencies of self-worth moderated the effects of gender motivation on implicit and explicit self-esteem, private regard for gender identity, and positive affect.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 55-60)
Sequential Derivatization of Polar Organic Compounds in Cloud Water Using O-(2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine Hydrochloride, N, O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide, and Gas-Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Analysis
No full textCloud water samples from Whiteface Mountain, NY were used to develop a combined sampling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GCMS) protocol for evaluating the complex mixture of highly polar organic compounds (HPOC) present in this atmospheric medium. Specific HPOC of interest were mono- and di keto-acids which are thought to originate from photochemical reactions of volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons from biogenic and manmade emissions and be a major fraction of atmospheric carbon. To measure HPOC mixtures and the individual keto-acids in cloud water, samples first must be derivatized for clean elution and measurement, and second, have low overall background of the target species as validated by GCMS analysis of field and laboratory blanks. Here, we discuss a dual derivatization method with PFBHA and BSTFA which targets only organic compounds that contain functional groups reacting with both reagents. The method also reduced potential contamination by minimizing the amount of sample processing from the field through the GCMS analysis steps. Once derivatized only gas chromatographic separation and selected ion monitoring (SIM) are needed to identify and quantify the polar organic compounds of interest. Concentrations of the detected total keto-acids in individual cloud water samples ranged from 27.8 to 329.3 ng mL-1 (ppb). Method detection limits for the individual HPOC ranged from 0.17 to 4.99 ng mL-1 and the quantification limits for the compounds ranged from 0.57 to 16.64 ng mL-1. The keto-acids were compared to the total organic carbon (TOC) results for the cloud water samples with concentrations of 0.607 to 3.350 mg L-1 (ppm). GCMS analysis of all samples and blanks indicated good control of the entire collection and analysis steps. Selected ion monitoring by GCMS of target keto-acids was essential for screening the complex organic carbon mixtures present at low ppb levels in cloud water. It was critical for ensuring high levels of quality assurance and quality control and for the correct identification and quantification of key marker compounds.Corrected proof of accepted manuscrip
'Doing good’ and ‘looking good’ in global humanitarian reporting: Is philanthro-journalism good news?
No full textThis chapter investigates if and how a private donor’s apparent motivation to ‘look good’ – or to generate symbolic capital – interacts with a news organization’s ability to ‘do good’ by producing public service content. We address this issue by reporting on the findings of a year-long study of the online humanitarian news organisation – IRIN – as it became primarily funded by a new donor. We argue that whilst it is possible that the Foundation’s pursuit of symbolic capital may have had some effect on how IRIN sought to ‘do good’, it did not appear to affect the extent to which IRIN was either willing or able to ‘do good’. Indeed, our analysis makes clear that the influence of the Foundation only had an effect on IRIN when it combined with other factors, especially journalists’ own values and organizational strategies. Ultimately, this case highlights the limits of generalized claims about the likely influence of a donor’s desire to ‘look good’ on a news organization
GPOD (Good Press on Demand)
No full textOn the invitation of Grafixx Festival, Belgium, Good Press were asked to produce a workshop. An alternative proposition was created whereby the facilitators of the workshop carried out the production of publications in a service-role, giving the visitor reward for their time and knowledge. An 'On Demand' service was considered, inspired by the nature of sharing, duplicating, bootlegging, community and economy.
Each individual and group that Museums Press and Good Press had worked with over its existence (400+) was asked to provide an 8-page publication which would be printed on-site at the festival in exchange for a conversation. It highlighted the sprawling generosity in current independent and DIY practices and subverted the publisher’s role to become the laboured printer. Taking influence and cues from local printers, the giveaway ethos of contemporary festivals and a subversion of the anonymous 21st century publisher, the service became performance with a stylised environment, uniforms and stressed outlook

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

“Social Return and Financing of Urban Regeneration Policiesâ€
No full textThis paper analyses an alternative measurement framework capable of capturing the return on investment of urban regeneration projects through a cost-benefit analysis. Financial returns on investment are calculated as the ratio between the benefits accruing from the performance of a given project and the funds involved in their implementation. Both, benefits and funds, must be named in monetary terms. However in urban regeneration projects, due to their dual economic and social nature, is more difficult to quantify the profits generated because most of them are subjective (greater quality of life, better community welfare, etc.). There is a wide array of value taking place in a urban regenerative process (economic value, blended value, social value) some of which are measurable in a traditional Investment/Return framework (with its implicit economic returns assumption) and more of which are not so that they remain partially hidden from stakeholders. Based on the foregoing, the purpose of this study is twofold: to go deeply on the cost-effectiveness ratio of urban regeneration projects through consideration of social impacts and to analyze some new alternative funding formulas that arise particularly in a time of financial constraint. The papers argues that the SROI (Social Return On Investment) method appears as the most appropriate measurement tool to capture the full public benefit as well as the Tax Increment Financing and the Joint European Support for Sustainable Investment in City Areas –Jessica, seem to be two innovative financing formulas based on a market approach.
