Essays on Gender Differences

Introduction

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common mental disorders developing at rather early stages of the individual’s life and entailing a wide range of implications for physical and mental health, social interaction, behavior and further life. As findings of some epidemiological studies demonstrate, this disorder is characterized by rather significant prevalence among children of school age – from 3 to 5% (Dryer et al. 79). The effect of ADHD might create numerous difficulties for children in various environmental contexts, from classroom to home setting. However, disruptive nature of this health condition is even more outstanding as ADHD ...

Introduction

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common disorders emerging at early stages of the child’s development. ADHD might have both short-term negative effects on the child’s development and long-term implications for functioning in adolescence and adulthood. The symptoms of the disorder might develop already in early childhood and persist throughout childhood, adolescence and adulthood; the impact of these symptoms might impair the person’s abilities in social, educational and vocational domains (Redmond 133).

Overview of the disorder

Introduction

How does the factor of gender impact the concept of violent offending? One of the most commonly held notions is that males have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes compared to women. This holding is one of the most widely held concepts in the area of criminology. However, there is a growing debate as to the scope of the “gender gap” in terms of violent offending has shifted in recent years. A number of commentators hold that the gap is described in terms of its stability; others proffer that there is an observable closing of the gap, particularly ...

Retrieved from http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2014/07/23/15-common-causes-of-suicide-why-do-people-kill-themselves/#commentform In this article, suicide is defined as the act of intentionally causing one’s own death. It also provides many factors that play a key role in causing someone to commit suicide.

The purpose of this paper is to facilitate the recognition of gender differences in our life in different contexts. There are many types of close relationship in which a person get involve throughout his life, and all types of relationship are different but one thing between them is common, and that is communication. It is a compulsory part of a relationship. There are different kinds of relationships in which gender plays its part through communication. For example, male/female relation, male/male relation, and female/female relation, etc. The relationship I am engaged in and will discuss in this paper is with ...

Introduction

The current complex global business and social settings require various skills that ease the process of interactions. Negotiation is one of the areas where every individual (s) must focus especially because of the reality that disagreements will always emerge at varying levels of interactions. However, negotiations do not always apply when there are conflicts that may cause adverse consequences (Cohen, 2013). The reality is that negotiations apply even when a buyer and a seller decide on the best price for an item. The fact that men and women acts in varying capacities as either sales executives means that they ...

Theresa May might be the latest entrant in the pool of high-positioned women, but it does not subside the ongoing debate revolving women style of leadership and negotiation. The conflict management style of May might be the subject of discussion among management honchos in the future. Researchers proffer differing perceptions concerning this issue; while some accede that women have different negotiation styles than men, some authors counter this by saying that gender has a little role to play in conflict handling. Furthermore, savants are not unanimous on the efficacy of women's style of conflict management. This paper has referred ...

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender differences in aggression exist among kindergarten children. Two hypotheses guided this study: (a) There is no significant relationship between males and females on aggression (b) There is no significant relationship between children’s physical aggression and relational aggression. The observational research design was used to address these hypotheses. A purposive sample of 50 children (30 boys and 20 girls) were recruited for the study and data gathered by observation. From the analysis of data, statistically significant relationship between physical aggression and relational aggression in children was found. Moreover, results ...

Abstract

Shopping is one of the most important parts in our daily life. We, as consumers, shop almost every day, whether it is a quick stop to the seven-eleven down the corner, or a family shopping in a large store like Wal-Mart at the weekend. From our perspective, when we plan to shop, all we want to consider is what we are getting and how much those items cost. On the other hand, as the suppliers in the shopping chain, the owners or investors of the stores have much more to consider when, where or even which kind of store ...

Introduction

Oracle Corporation is one of the largest companies in the information technology sector. In the third quarter of 2015 it reported earnings of $9 billion in revenues, mostly unchanged from the previous year and a steady growth in its Cloud Services . It has corporate policies on non-discrimination in terms of race, gender and is an equal opportunity employer . Yet its board remains mostly male, with only 3 out of 13 board members comprised of women . From the list of company executives found on the company website, it is found that only 4 out 30 executives, including co-CEO Safra Catz, ...

Armstrong, England, and Fogarty (2012, p. 454) found that women were more likely to enjoy sex and experience orgasms in relationships than in hook-ups. Based on the qualitative data obtained from interviews with both men and women, the researchers found that all participants reported that “men are typically not concerned with women’s pleasure in hookups, but both reported that men are very attentive to women’s pleasure in relationships” (Armstrong et al., 2012, p. 458). The results were attributed to gender inequality because the double standard suggests that both men and women deserve reciprocal sexual satisfaction in relationships, ...

Inductive Thematic Analysis

Introduction Drug crimes are increasingly becoming a major concern on both local and global fronts. Current research (Braun and Clarke, 2012) suggests that the thematic analysis of important data sources such as sentencing remarks would facilitate the efficacy of available strategies in these crimes. The purpose of this assignment is to analyse the themes that comprise the societal understanding of the occurrence and penalties of drug-related crime. The researcher uses information from seven courtroom sentencing remarks from Adelaide, Southern Australia. This inductive thematic analysis identifies overarching themes that are evident across all seven documents. The themes include “gender and ...

The current society is shaped around gender roles, according to which “men should be brave, strong, ambitious and aggressive, while keeping their feelings under control; women should be gentle, passive, dependent, and expressive of their feelings” (McCubbin & Dahl 189). The nature of this differentiation is thought to be determined by several factors, of which the biological, anthropological (cultural) or social are the most pervasive (McCubbin & Dahl 190). In relation with Tannen’s difference in gender roles, as presented in “Sex, Sigh, and Conversation”, the social arguments best explain the root of the gender difference outlined by the author. McCubbin ...

Introduction

Depression is a major health concern across the world and it is considered to be one of the illnesses causing problems for individuals, families, and the society. Depression is said to be one of the conditions that increases the mortality of medical conditions and decreases the quality of life (Ryba & Hopko, 2012). A number of studies have attempted to find the relationship between depressive symptoms and factors like age, gender, and income level. The following paper evaluates the position held by other papers with regard to the hypothesis, men are more prone to depression in comparison to women.

Introduction

Depression is a common mental disorder in the world and it has led to the increase of medical conditions in different people and the decrease of the quality of life (Addis, 2008). A number of factors have been identified in relation to the variability of depression rates. The factors include age, marital status, gender, education, income and immigrant status (Akhtar-Danesh & Landeen, 2007). There is a need to evaluate the relationship between depression and the mentioned socio-demographic factors, specifically the factor of gender.

Hypothesis

The study will be based on the hypothesis that men are more prone to depression in comparison ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community. Indeed, participation in tertiary education promotes national economy and innovation (Wierenga, Landstedt, & Wyn 2013, p. 3). The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4). Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

Communication

Body Image/Appearance in Interpersonal Relationships Introduction Our perceptions of self are shaped by the interactions we have with other people. The quality of an individual’s interpersonal relationships is a major contributor to that individual’s perception of body image . Attractiveness and communication play a large part in the success or failure of romantic relationships. It has been noted that women who have a positive body image, tend to be more confident in their sexual desirability and promote behavior that fosters the relationship. However body image and the importance of appearance is not just female realm. Men also have ...

A prolific writer and researcher, the publications and theories proposed by Kay Deaux have impacted the field of sociology since the 1970s. While Deaux has not published a biography, she did give a fairly extensive interview to Anne Rutherford discussing her life in relation to her body of work (Deaux, 2010). By coordinating her biographical background with her research, it is possible to draw broad conclusions concerning the evolution of her interests and the influences of her life experiences. Kay Beaux was born in Warren, Ohio in 1941 and grew up in a Cleveland neighborhood that she describes as “ ...

Introduction:

Crime has been an important study that has existed for a long duration of time. Yet it remains controversial with theoretical, historical and accounts of male and female involvement often inconclusive. The perpetrators of crime have for long being presumed to be men. Whether by design or by nature men have been the major actors in criminal activities is a matter of contention. This paper adds to the existing literature on gender differences in crime involvement by comparing different researches on crime with special emphasis on gender involvement. There have been several studies that have been carried out focusing ...

Psychology Review Paper

Psychology Review Paper This paper will review the psychological article entitled “Gender Differences in Distance Estimates When Exposed to Multiple Routes” which appears in the Environment and Behavior journal. This article explores the accuracy of making distance estimations regarding a particular walked route when an individual has extra information about additional routes present. This research particularly focuses on comparing gender differences in estimation of distances when exposed to other routes. Thus, the central research question of this study is to determine how men and women compare when it comes to estimating distances in the event of exposure to multiple ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that is related to serious traumatic events and is characterized by such symptoms as survivor guilt, reliving the trauma in dreams, numbness, and absence of involvement with reality, or recurrent thoughts and images. Research shows that reliable and modest gender differences exist in the growth of PTSD (Vishnevsky 110). Researchers also found that the risk of PTSD could vary in women because of type of trauma and prior history of trauma. However, the risk for PTSD in men is not much affected by the type of trauma and history of trauma. ...

Introduction

Effective parenting is essential to the moral development of a child. In fact, lack thereof compromises the ethical beliefs maintained by the child, and this could result in the indulgence in unacceptable behaviors. According to the Journal of Family Violence, females are more vulnerable to the effects of distant parenthood than the male gender (Bowles, Dana and Jennifer 681). As a result, witnessing traumatizing events in their early developmental stages could negatively affect their social abilities and integration with other people. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that most of the female inmates had instances ...

For this project I interviewed a number of women and men regarding whether or not they have experience sexual harassment in the workplace. I then compared the findings to determine if there were any gender differences between their responses. The first woman I interviewed said that she had in fact experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. She stated that this sexual harassment occurred when she was working in a restaurant and one of the managers would comment on her clothing in what she felt was inappropriate ways. Similarly, a bartender would touch her in ways that she did not ...

Introduction

The compensation is a reward for an entity (individual or corporation) in return for a work performed or services rendered. The amount of compensation and payment are provided either by simple uses or through contractual arrangements (freely negotiated between parties or resulting from collective agreements or company agreement) (Perryman et.al, 2016). The compensation is directly linked to the amount of effort and performance that has been delivered and it also has nothing to do with gender. However, it is usually influenced by the gender, which has consequentially become a social dilemma. Gender and compensation are taken into the context ...

In her research, Janet Shibley Hyde argues that women and men have significantly more similarities than differences, despite the common belief in the opposite. This issue has been gaining more interest lately because of the growing attention to gender inequality issues and the increasing popularity of the women’s empowerment movement. Indeed, men and women has been divided by stereotypes strengthened by numerous pseudoscientific books for a very long time, and the main concern the scientific community has is about the effects of such stereotypes on women’s and men’s well-being and success in life that can be ...

In fact, there are considerable differences in physical activity, emotions, interests, perception between men and women. Numerous scientists have explored and discussed if these differences are conditioned by social factors or biology. To make it clear, some think that it is biology that defines human behavior, tastes, skills etc.; others adhere to the opinion that society is a more influential impact on formation of behavior. In other words, socially created features of men and women are called "gender", "sex" is determined by biology. Unfortunately, nowadays it is possible to see numerous mistakes and discrepancies concerning the use of both ...

Earnings Differentials : Understanding the Gender Wage GapTerm Paper Workshop

In a May 2014 document released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics it was reported that although almost as many women as men are in the workforce (52% and 70.2%, respectively), males earn a higher median salary than females regardless of job type or race. Additionally, the most current census data show that women’s average earnings in the United States are only 71.3% of men’s (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014). This difference in earnings between men and women is not exclusive to the United States; however, it has been noted to be one of the largest ...

Gender Differences and Inequality

Patriarchalism was once the founding principles of all social relationships in society as women were under the tutelage of their fathers and husbands. Men were responsible for representing women in the public sphere, within the family and they controlled women’s sexuality and labour roles. This essay will argue that gender differences and gender inequality have been socially constructed, scientifically quantified and institutionally justified throughout history. There will be an examination of how gender differences and gender inequality was socially constructed and institutionally justified by examining three different examples of how these gender differences were approved: Quito, a South ...

Gender Differences Eating Disorders

Epidemiological studies have found that anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) are more prevalent amongst female populations(Hart, Granillo, Jorm, & Paxton, 2011; Striegel‐Moore et al., 2009). A study found, that gender disparity is reversed when it comes to binge eating disorder (0.6% women vs. 1.9% men)(Striegel‐Moore et al., 2009). Analyses yielded several statistically significant gender differences among those with eating disorders(Striegel‐Moore et al., 2009). Results reveal that compared to women, men were more likely to report overeating. On the other hand, women were more likely to express a sense of "loss of control" ...

INTRODUCTION

There exists some historical events which have been set aside to provide analysis of gender differences between male as well as a female in the workplace. Whether there is existence of gender in the way they influence, lead or else communicate, women as well as men have often been viewed as a set of people who are different and unique. Such differences have put women within the workplace at a disadvantage situation to some extent because they have been perceived as inferior when compared to men. This has been because of cultural as well as historical gender inequalities. However, ...

Is there a Significant Gender Difference for Empathy?

Abstract Women are found to be more empathic. However, little is known if there are significant differences of empathy if genders and the different factors such as social relationships and behavior, as well as the concepts of forgiveness and pain are concerned. 20 males and females were subjected to online interview using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). Results have shown that women have higher levels of empathy than male. This difference is rooted on the basis of the answers of the participants and using the concepts of neurobiology. However, there is no too little significance that can be established ...

The topic “Gender differences in the long-term association between Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression symptoms,” is of interest to me because it occurs in our day-to-day lives. PSTD is a serious disorder that occurs after a traumatic event. PSTD occurs to both children and adults depending on the situation involved. Another interesting thing about the topic is that PTSD and depression are comorbid, which means that they occur simultaneously in an individual. The topic gives one understanding on how to link the PTSD symptoms and the onset of depression. Hence, the topic enables one to acquire knowledge ...

Introduction: what is leadership?

Leadership is the focus of many discussion that aims to identify this or that dimension of leadership, starting from who is a leader, what makes a good and effective leader and ending up with the question 'who is a better leader: a man or a woman?', which presents a great interest for numerous researchers. Before moving to the gender aspect of leadership, it is worth clarifying what leadership itself is, however, it seems that a final definition hasn't been written yet. Probably, it won't be written ever. It is because of the fact that there're no criteria by which ...

Adjustments are psychological processes that people use to adapt, handle as well as manage demand, challenges and problems of everyday life (Santrock, 2006). Thus, different situations are solved by different adjustments. These situations vary from different conditions to cases of racism and injustices. Some are genetic such as the Down syndrome while others, for example, racism are products of how members of the society behave and beliefs and are moved from one generation to the other. Strategies are adapted to help people improve on their adjustment skills. The strategies include self-acceptance, socialization to boost their confidence and a chance ...

American Public University Introduction Gender differences and many subsequent gender-related issues are among the relevant issues in our society today. As the years pass by, our society had come to address gender-related issues, such as gender inequality, in a more comprehensive and varied perspective. Gender inequality or the imposing of oppression and privilege on certain genders, may likewise be defined according to a perspective of choice (Leon-Guerrero, 2015). Furthermore, this paper will focus on gender inequality and the different perspectives regarding it. In addition, concepts will also be utilized to understand gender inequality.

The young mind is a malleable and highly vulnerable entity with which trauma can dramatically influence with long-lasting effects. While both boys and girls are prone to posttraumatic stress disorder, evidence shows that females tend to experience greater effects from traumatic events than their male counterparts. When asking the question of whether boys and girls respond similarly to post-traumatic interventions, it is important to note that although females are wounded greater due to their emotional capacity, both males and females experience a measurable minimization of potentially damaging symptoms as a result of treatment. Ultimately, however, females are in a ...

Introduction

The case for sex against gender as bipolar concepts is controversial. If anything, "gender" has arisen as an increasingly adopted concept in social sciences as part of feminist postulations about "inherent" differences between women's femininity and men's masculinity, particularly as to emphasize "gender" as a basis for social and cultural distinction and "sex" as a biological difference between women and men (Haig, 2004). This distinction appears, however, to be more than a linguistic one. Further, in being adopted, both concepts appear to raise calls for re-examination of initial usages – and, for that matter, applications – of both concepts as to ...

The article under consideration views implications that modern technologies have for academic performance. The research question appears to be as follows: How do activities based on multitasking and activities that require focused attention relate to distractiblity? The authors have chosen Instant Messaging (IMing) and Nonelectronic Reading to conduct their research. They hypothesized that the more time is spent on IMing, the greater the difficulty is in concentrating on less externally stimulating tasks. IMing has become an integral part of young people’s life, interfering with other important activities. This communication tool gives an opportunity to keep in touch with ...

The humanity has always disputed on varied ideas concerning good and bad, love and hate, things which are acceptable and unacceptable. People are different when it comes to sharing opinions in general but it is far more complex when it comes to sharing opinions among men and women.

Introduction The rise of women top managers in the last decades is almost phenomenal. As early as 2005, female Chief Financial Officers in major American corporations constitutes 7.5 percent of all managers in this position and female Chief Executive Officers around 1.5 percent, a significant increase in representation from the levels (3.0 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively) seen in 1994 (Huang and Kisgen 822). This female representation, though, is still too small to not indicate the presence of culturally defined stereotypical bias against women for the management position, the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ barrier ...

Coaching refers to a developmental process or training in which a coach (a person who does the coaching) helps an individual or group (“coachee”) to achieve a particular objective whether personal or professional. The coach is usually an individual who has more experience and expertise therefore, is in a position to offer guidance and advice. Coaching differs from mentoring because it is competence specific unlike mentoring which focuses on general overall development. In regards to sports, coaching involves teaching and supervising players. The players are given instructions, directions and even training that ensures they stay safe and protected during ...

Abstract

It is irresponsible to assume that students will be able to resist the prejudices that are inherent in society, but it also seems as though things are progressing for the better in many ways. Young women are still not choosing math and science at the same rate as young men, but their perceptions of the sciences are improving significantly. Desy et al. (2011), Sorge (2007) and Shepardson and Pizzini (1994) utilize different strategies to examine the issue of female gender representation in sciences, as well as the issue of age and perception towards women in sciences. The ...

Organizational identification can be defined as the significance of the organization in the individual’s self-concept. It is the adoption of identity by either the person in the context or by others. Organizations regulate and control members’ identity in different ways. One of this way is by conceive control where members watch and control each other’s actions. Another way through which organization regulate and control members’ identity is by setting up some rules and procedures to govern the identification. Also, member’s identity can be regulated through the setting up of strong organizational values. Organization identification is a legitimate organizational ...

Since time immemorial the world has been grappling with the question regarding the different behaviors exhibited by men and women respectively. This has been a much-debated issue in both the print and digital media. The Telegraph for instance carried an article on 14th September 2013 regarding this issue. The article titled Are Men Really From Mars? tried to address this age old question in the most captivating way. The author, Debbie Magids, offered a different dimension regarding the battle of sexes debate by asserting that men are not from Mars as many have been made to believe. The author further argues ...

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

The Weakness of the Man at the Presence of the Woman

Several research studies and journals have devoted their attention to feminist issues, especially when investigating issues of virtue ethics and gender differences based on the aforementioned philosophical idea (virtue ethics). Rather than help us determine what we ought to do, virtue ethics asks how we ought to be in order to become good members of the society (MacKinnon, 2013). Naturally, men act with much aggression than women do. Additionally, men appear to be weaker when they are around women. In most cases, men have given in to the demands of women, simply because they are women, and not because ...

Men and women tend to defer in many aspects. The difference is not only in looks, but also in how they think and understand different situations, their abilities, interest, lifestyle, behavior, and also their role in the society. Both male and female may perceive a person’s lifestyle in different dimensions. For example, studies and researches to evaluate the difference in attitude that exists in both heterosexual men and women towards gay men and lesbians have been in existence since from a very long time ago. By using research and earlier work done by different scholars, this paper seeks to explore ...

Aubrey, J.S., & Frisby, C.M. (2011). Sexual objectification in music videos: a content analysis comparing gender and genre. Mass Communication and Society 14: 475-501.

In this article, Aubrey and Frisby (2011) create a coding system which measures the correlations between representations of women and sexual objectification. According to their findings, female artists provide a greater amount of sexual objectification in their videos, and are placed under greater pressure to appear more attractive and glamorous. They are also more likely to showcase sexually suggestive behavior and attitudes. This evidences adds to the argument that women are problematically presented in popular culture and media, as they are placed under a male gaze to be as attractive as possible; a woman’s sexuality is shown to be her primary feature, ...
