Experience Of Gender-Based Violence (Gbv) And Gbv Prevention During Disaster Among Women And Gender Diverse People In Japan: A Mixed Methods Study, Iino Sae

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a critical concern during disasters, yet preventive engagement is limited. This mixed-methods study examined GBV prevention among disaster-affected women and gender-diverse individuals in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, using a survey (n=424) and in-depth interviews (n=5). Despite high GBV knowledge (63.9%) and positive attitudes (51.7%), only 23.6% engaged in preventive practices. Key quantitative findings show that evacuation experience (OR=1.793, p=0.016) increased engagement, while prior IPV/GBV experience (OR=0.145, p=0.003) and suburban residence (OR=0.631, p=0.044) were associated with lower engagement. Knowledge (OR=1.383, p=0.184) and attitude (OR=1.336, p=0.213) did not significantly predict preventive actions. Qualitative findings revealed that participants had limited …

People Are Less Myopic About Future Than Past Collective Outcomes, Markus Prior, Abdelaziz Alsharawy, Talbot M Andrews Dec 2023

People Are Less Myopic About Future Than Past Collective Outcomes, Markus Prior, Abdelaziz Alsharawy, Talbot M Andrews

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Myopia involves giving disproportionate weight to outcomes that occur close to the present. Myopia in people's evaluations of political outcomes and proposals threatens effective policymaking. It can lead to inefficient spending just before elections, cause inaction on important future policy challenges, and create incentives for government interventions aimed at boosting short-term performance at the expense of long-term welfare. But, are people generally myopic? Existing evidence comes mostly from studies that disregard either the future or collective outcomes. Political science characterizes people as myopic based on how they retrospectively evaluate collective outcomes, such as the state of the economy. Behavioral economics …


Impact Of Covid-19 Pandemic On Marketing Of Education, Shreekant Joag Dec 2023

Impact Of Covid-19 Pandemic On Marketing Of Education, Shreekant Joag

Journal of Global Awareness

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many schools to partially or totally switch to remote communication methods for delivering education in the years 2020-2021. It is believed that forced compliance with unfamiliar and even unpreferred modes of behavior can have a profound and lasting impact on people’s attitudes and opinions toward the behavior itself because of first-hand exposure and experience. It is, therefore, possible that this experience with remote teaching and learning could have materially changed both instructors’ as well as students’ attitudes toward remote delivery of education. Such changed attitudes may predict their future choices and behavior.

This paper will present …

Comparing The Effectiveness Of Mother-Focused Interventions To That Of Mother-Child Focused Interventions In Improving Maternal Postpartum Depression Outcomes: A Systematic Review, Divya Kumar, Waqas Hameed, Bilal Iqbal Avan

Community Health Sciences

Background: Most empirically researched interventions for postpartum depression (PPD) tend to target mothers' depression alone. Harmful effects of PPD on physical and mental health of both mother and child has led researchers to investigate the impact of interventions on PPD and child outcomes together. So far, the evidence is limited regarding how these interventions compare with those focusing only on mothers' depression. This review compares the effectiveness of PPD-improving interventions focusing only on mothers with those focusing on mother and child together.
Methods: Nine electronic databases were searched. Thirty-seven studies evaluating mother-focused (n = 30) and mother-child focused interventions (n …

Where Did All The Bed Bugs Go?, Lauren Friedman Dec 2023

Where Did All The Bed Bugs Go?, Lauren Friedman

Capstones

In the early 2000s in New York City, everyone was talking about bed bugs. The disc-shaped, bloodsucking pests had been a common domestic nuisance up to the World War II era, but in the decades since, they’d mostly faded into obscurity. That was until bed bug infestations, which are often psychologically distressing and sometimes impossible to overcome, suddenly became routine across the five boroughs, driving people from their apartments and stoking fear about everything from upholstered theater seats to thrift stores.

But then, just as quickly as bed bugs had invaded, they seemed to fade away. In a 2022 study …

Background Sexual violence (SV) is a significant, global public health problem, particularly among young adults. Promising interventions exist, including prosocial bystander intervention programs that train bystanders to intervene in situations at-risk for SV. However, these programs suffer from critical weaknesses: (1) they do not address the proximal effect of alcohol use on bystander decision-making and (2) they rely on self-report measures to evaluate outcomes. To overcome these limitations, we integrate new content specific to alcohol use within the context of prosocial bystander intervention into an existing, evidence-based program, RealConsent1.0. The resulting program, RealConsent2.0, aims to facilitate bystander behavior …
