A Content Analysis Of Gender Stereotypes In Contemporary Teenage Magazines, Umana Anjalin
A Content Analysis Of Gender Stereotypes In Contemporary Teenage Magazines, Umana Anjalin
Masters Theses
The portrayal of women has long been a matter of concern as well as discontent. The patterns reflected in the media mostly deal with stereotyping females in very limited roles, and frequently as sex objects. Magazine content could be a crucial source in the issue of adolescent socialization. Magazines directed to adolescent female consumers orient the audience with the explicit and implicit messages of socio-economic lifestyle. Teens' relying on the subjective as well as objective comprehension of these magazines is crucial to their growing up. Therefore, it was essential to understand the factors that are influential for much of adolescent …
Deception Among Organizational Leaders: Impacts On Employee Perceptions Of Supervisor Credibility, Power, And Trust, Paisleigh Jo Kelley
Deception Among Organizational Leaders: Impacts On Employee Perceptions Of Supervisor Credibility, Power, And Trust, Paisleigh Jo Kelley
Masters Theses
Deception is ubiquitous in day-to-day communication. While most deceptive acts are relatively minor in terms of interpersonal impact, lying in the workplace may result in negative organizational outcomes (Griffith et al., 2011). Moreover, business leaders who engage in deceptive communication may elicit similar behavior in their employees (Henrichs, 2007). The current study assesses how different deceptive messages spoken by organizational leaders (e.g., honest messages, messages that withhold information, and messages that distort information) impact employee perceptions of that leader’s credibility, power, and trustworthiness. The results of this study indicate that employees view business leaders as less credible and less trustworthy …

Gendered Patterns Of Economic Marginalization And Its Implications On Women's Political Participation In Latin America, Alina Kathryn Clay
Gendered Patterns Of Economic Marginalization And Its Implications On Women's Political Participation In Latin America, Alina Kathryn Clay
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Although women in Latin America have recently made impressive advancements in political representation by achieving high-ranking political positions, embedded economic inequalities persist and significantly hinder their political participation in activities such as voting and actively supporting political parties. Furthermore, widespread policy mechanisms are not set up and effective in fully engaging women in politics. Political and economic oppression of women in this region have historical roots and thus are deeply entrenched within society. Our research question explores how gendered patterns of economic marginalization affect the political participation and attitudes of women in Latin America. To answer this question, we have …

Women In Agriculture: A Qualitative Study Examining How Women Have Sustained Their Leadership Roles In Agriculture In Australia, Amanda Elizabeth Dean
Women In Agriculture: A Qualitative Study Examining How Women Have Sustained Their Leadership Roles In Agriculture In Australia, Amanda Elizabeth Dean
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
Women are the minority in production agriculture and their leadership roles in agricultural industries are rarely explored. Therefore, the leadership development of five prominent agriculture leaders in Australia was chosen to be explored for this study. Connections were drawn between each case study, emphasizing the central research question of “How have women in agriculture sustained their leadership role in a male-dominated field?” Impacting their styles of leadership within farming and other agribusiness trades were the shared themes of their childhood dynamics, their individual support systems, and their current home life. This study used a constructivist paradigm, as reflecting upon the …

DataONE Sociocultural and Usability & Assessment Working Groups
We examine the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth) project, a transdisciplinary organization tasked with creating a cyberinfrastructure platform to ensure preservation of and access to environmental science and biological science data. Its objective was a difficult one to achieve, requiring innovative solutions. The DataONE project used a working group structure to organize its members. We use organizational discontinuity theory as our lens to understand the factors associated with success in such projects. Based on quantitative and qualitative data collected from DataONE members, we offer recommendations for the use of working groups in transdisciplinary synthesis. Recommendations include welcome diverse opinions …

Understanding The Perceived Attributes And Consequences Of Participation In Youth "Rep" Hockey: An Analysis From The Parental Perspective, Chris Chard, Jonathon Edwards, Luke Potwarka
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Participation in youth sport has been recognized for myriad developmental benefits. When one considers sport participation, there are a number of different delivery models. Participation can be recreational in nature or competitively driven. Regardless of competitive level, it is important for sport managers to understand the drivers that influence sport participation. Thus, the purpose of the current investigation was to achieve a better understanding of the perceived attributes and consequences of youth representative (rep) sport participation from the perspective of the elite athletes' parents. Parents' perceptions are important given that these individuals are the ultimate decision makers for their children's …

Scholarly Article Seeking, Reading, And Use: A Continuing Evolution From Print To Electronic In The Sciences And Social Sciences, Carol Tenopir, Donald W. King, Lisa Christian, Rachel E. Volentine
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Electronic journals are now the norm for accessing and reading scholarly articles. This article examines scholarly article reading patterns by faculty in five US universities in 2012. Selected findings are also compared to some general trends from studies conducted periodically since 1977. In the 2012 survey, over threequarters (76%) of the scholarly readings were obtained through electronic means and just over half (51%) of readings were read on a screen rather than from a print source or being printed out. Readings from library sources are overwhelmingly from e-sources. The average number of articles read per month was 20.66, with most …

Beyond Access To Information: Understanding The Use Of Information By Poor Female Mobile Users In Rural India, Devendra Potnis
Beyond Access To Information: Understanding The Use Of Information By Poor Female Mobile Users In Rural India, Devendra Potnis
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Digital inclusion research has focused overwhelmingly on access to information. But access to information by itself is of limited value unless the intended beneficiary has the capacity to use it. It is the use of information that delivers the benefits. However, in ICT for development literature, there is little empirical work on the process by which use of information delivers benefits. This study fills the gap by studying information use by poor female mobile phone users in rural India. It identifies six stages in the information use process and models them.
