A Cross-Cultural Comparative Study on Gender and Age-Cohort Differences in Multidimensional Social-Emotional Competence
No full textBackground and Purpose: Gender is one of the most commonly studied predictors of social-emotional competence (SEC). Children and adolescents develop their SEC over time under the influence of gender-based cultural practices. While previous literature observed an overall gender difference in SEC, typically favoring girls, there are limitations to note. First, most studies have been conducted within a single cultural context, predominantly in Western societies, lacking a cross-cultural perspective. Second, previous research has largely focused on early childhood, with limited evidence available on gender differences in SEC varying throughout later developmental stages. Third, most studies have measured SEC as a composite variable, resulting in less nuanced findings on specific SEC domains. Also, little work has been done to confirm measurement invariance of SEC assessments before cross-group comparisons. To fill these gaps, this study examines how gender differences in SEC vary between North American (NA) and East Asian (EA) contexts, across middle childhood and adolescence, using a comparable measure of multidimensional SEC.Methods: Using the first wave of the OECD Survey of Social and Emotional Skills, this study analyzed student self-report data (N=25,206, 49.9% girls) collected from two age-cohort samples (52.5% age 10 and 47.5% age 15) from two EA countries–China (28.7%) and South Korea (25.1%)–and two NA countries–Canada (20.1%) and the USA (25.3%). This study used indicators of six SEC dimensions, previously studied to be equally relevant to both cultural samples: Emotional Control (6-item), Optimism (6-item), Open-mindedness (9-item), Task Performance (14-item), Prosociality (10-item), and Leadership (6-item). We first applied multidimensional polytomous item response theory modeling to detect any differential item functioning (DIF), then conducted linear regression analysis to examine the effects of gender and its interactions with culture and age-cohort on all six SEC dimensions.Results: Multigroup DIF analysis suggested that most items showed a good fit and no systematic differences across gender, cultural, and age-cohort subgroups, except for three items that were excluded from further analysis. Regarding the main effects of gender, boys had higher levels of Emotional Control, Optimism, and Open-mindedness, while girls had higher scores on Prosociality and Task Performance (all differences p. Across cultural and age-cohort subgroups, gender differences in SEC were most pronounced among the 15-year-old EA sample: EA adolescent girls had significantly lower levels of Emotional Control, Open-mindedness, and Optimism than EA adolescent boys. These gender gaps were larger than those observed within younger EA children, NA children, and NA adolescents. Moreover, EA adolescent girls tended to have lower levels of Prosociality and Task Performance than EA adolescent boys (both differences pConclusions and Implications: To our knowledge, this study is one of the first studies that examined how gender differences in multidimensional SEC manifested across different age-cohorts and cultural contexts, using the measurement tool found to be invariant across compared subgroups. This study calls for more research to further explain the observed phenomenon, while providing implications for practice to support healthy development of East Asian girls.</p

Challenging Male Hegemony: A Case History of Women's Experiences in British and US Higher Education, 1970-2002
No full textThis thesis is located within the discipline of history, and centres around the
experiences of women in US and British universities. Higher education in both the US and
the UK, as throughout the world, has historically been male-led and male-controlled. This
male hegemony of higher education continues to the present, as evidenced by the low
percentage of women in the upper echelons of academia (for example, professors).
Women in the US and the UK have been challenging this male hegemony since their
admittance to higher education institutions in the nineteenth century. They faced fierce
opposition in their efforts to open higher education to women. This opposition was later
echoed in the resistance to twentieth-century feminists' efforts to found women's studies
programmes.
The male hegemony of higher education is evident in the case histories of the
experiences of women at Appalachian State University (ASU) and the University of
Gloucestershire (UG) in the latter part of the twentieth century. ASU and UG, although
located in different countries, have similarities which make a comparison interesting. The
male hegemony of the institutions, and women's challenges to it, is especially illustrated
when analysing three areas: residence hall life (living), staff issues (working), and the
women's studies programmes (teaching and learning).
Women students at both institutions experienced, and successfully challenged,
strict residence rules through the 1960s. National influences, such as the change in the age
of majority, and pressure from the students themselves brought a loosening of these rules
in the 1970s and 1980s. The conservative nature of the institutions also influenced the
experience of women academic staff. Institutional management was not proactive
regarding women's issues, and there is strong evidence of a `glass ceiling' at both
institutions. The male hegemony of the institutions was also illustrated in the struggle to
found and maintain women's studies programmes
Poética da penúria: a ator beckettiano
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2013.O objeto deste estudo é refletir sobre os principais dispositivos da poética beckettiana, os testemunhos de atores históricos que trabalharam sob a direção de Samuel Beckett para propor alguns caminhos de composição de um ator particular, que, com experiências de uma preparação dramatúrgica, condensaria um corpo em penúria. Para isso, investigamos algumas das características da obra beckettiana como a influência minimalista sobre suas peças tardias, a musicalidade que permeia o seu texto teatral e a imobilidade imposta à suas personagens. Mergulhamos no íntimo dessas personagens, com a finalidade de, através do levantamento dos principais traços absorvidos pelo ator beckettiano, estabelecer relações com o ator pós-dramático. A fim de confrontar as referências estudadas, propusemo-nos a encenar o espetáculo Inomináveis # coletivo Beckett, uma reunião das peças Play, Not I, Rough for theatre I e Footfalls. Consideramos e aferimos nossas hipóteses através de depoimentos cedidos pelos atores envolvidos em nossa encenação This work aims to study the most important tools of Samuel Beckett#s art, the testimony of historical actors who worked under his direction to propose possible ways of formation a particular actor that would condensate a body in a state of penury using experiences from dramaturgical preparation. We observed some characteristics of Beckett#s work as an influence of the Minimalism in his last plays, the musicality in his theatrical texts and the immobility of his characters. We studied the characters in depth to clear relations with the post-dramatic actors by mean of recognizing the most important features of actors involved with Samuel Beckett. In order to confront our references, we put forward a staging: Inomináveis # coletivo Beckett, a sequence of Play, Not I, Rough for theatre I and Footfalls. We investigated and assessed our hypotheses using testimonies of the actors involved in our staging
Impact of HR practices and idiosyncratic deals on employee outcomes: does employee HR practice saliency matter?
No full textStrategic human resource management (HRM) scholars have recognized that employee perceptions and reactions to HR practices are consequential. However, the reasons for variance in employee perceptions and reactions to HR practices are not yet fully understood. In order to enhance the impact of HR systems on employee and organizational outcomes, researchers need to understand and address the reasons for this variance in employee perceptions and reactions to HR practices. To attend to this research need, the current study empirically tests the idea of employee HR practice saliency. Moreover, using the social cognition and social comparison perspectives, the current work integrates strategic HR literature with the work on idiosyncratic deals to develop a better understanding of the reasons for variance in employee perceptions of HR. A review of the current literature leads to discussion of the model, data collection, analyses, and results. Lastly research and practical implications of this work are highlighted.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sargam Gar

The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature
Well-Being Throughout the Senior Years: An Issues Paper on Key Events and Transitions in Later Life
No full textSocial Development Canada’s mission is “to strengthen Canada’s social foundations by supporting the well-being of individuals, families and communities and their participation through citizen focused policies, programs and services” (Social Development Canada 2005a). Well-being is a concept that goes beyond good health to encompass physical and mental fitness as well as social fitness (being able to perform one’s social roles and the demands of everyday living adequately). As people age, they experience a number of transitions in their lives. They may retire, change residence, loose a spouse, become a caregiver, and/or develop a health problem or disability. These transitions, especially when they occur around the same time, may impact on their well-being and independence and prevent them from being contributing members of society. This paper summarizes the research on what we currently know about the key events and transitions experienced by seniors, their impacts, and the resources seniors have or need to successfully cope with these events throughout the senior years. It will also review what we know about opportunities, gaps or barriers in accessing social support programs and service delivery designed to assist seniors in coping successfully with adverse events and life transitions. Issues to be considered include availability, access and costs of community support and home health care services. Finally, the paper will attempt to provide potential policy research directions to address current knowledge gaps. This is an extensive literature, and we have limited the scope by focusing on the last 10 years of Canadian research published in Journals and by Statistics Canada. We have favored research based on national studies in this review, though there are many excellent case studies and qualitative studies that add texture to our knowledge. Recognizing that the senior population is a very heterogeneous group, this review will examine (where the research permits) differences by senior life-course stages, and other target groups such as women, the disabled, visible minority, immigrants, Aboriginal peoples, sub-regions, low income, and persons living alone. This review of the literature has shown that while we have basic information about many of the transitions in seniors’ lives, there is very little information about the various life course stages or about various sub groups of society.health and well-being, retirement, marital transitions, care-giving, homecare
