That is, men and women, as well as boys and girls, are more alike than they are different” (Hyde, 2005, p. 581). To prove her hypothesis she focused on specific categories for possible similarities such as, cognitive variables, nonverbal and verbal communication, social and personality variables, psychological well-being, motor behaviors, and moral reasoning. My opinion of gender, prior to reading the article, men and women are far more different than others tend to want to believe. Women tend to be more driven by their emotions whereas men are driven more on their skills to problem solve and physical capabilities. That is not to say that there is not a sense of equality, but based on my personal observations a female has the tendency to be more capable of carrying out and following through with tasks more than a man.
Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.
Recruiting Like many retailers, Tanglewood has high recruiting needs in entry level positions due to a high rate of turnover. Tanglewood’s current recruiting methods vary from one region to the next. By assessing these various methods and comparing their overall effectiveness, we have a good opportunity to improve the recruiting process, thus optimizing the operations of this organization. We will review the target demographics, and look into the methodology of each region’s present recruitment styles. The desire to create a unified recruiting process will be reviewed and evaluated, with an ultimate goal of devising a functional, efficient and profitable recruiting service for this organization.
This occurred through surveys constructed and taken by a general college population of which provided substantive information. After analyzing the research, the two part hypothesis of significant correlation between positive traits yet non-significance for neuroticism, as well an increased rating for mates rather than self in positive categories and a decreased rating for mates concerning neuroticism were proven to be correct. Keywords: personality test, mate, self-reports, big-five, relationships A Study of the Relationship Between Self and Desired Mate Personality Testing Regarding the Big-Five Inventory (BFI) Factor of Personality Test Personality testing is a unique additive to scientific testing as it allows for the capability of showing a self-rated perspective of personal character traits. Furthermore, an individual not only possesses the quality of depicting their own personality, but also reporting the traits they ideally desire in a mate via the same method (Figuerdo,
2. In what sense, according to conflict theorists, is rape less an act of deviance and more of an act of over conformity to cultural expectations? Do you agree with this analysis? 3. Despite the fact that girls do better than boys at school, boys have higher expectations and higher self esteem than girls, a gap that continues with each year of schooling.
Explain why. The risk-indifferent manager would accept Investments X and Y because these have higher returns than the 12% required return and the risk doesn’t matter. b. If she were risk-averse, which investments would she select? Why?
The literature begins with a discussion of the research on gender and leadership.The literature review reveals that women were devalued more (relative to men) when displaying masculine styles than they were when displaying other leadership styles. Mainly, women lead in a more democratic and less autocratic style than men and the review suggestion that an attitudinal bias might influence their findings.The literature reveals that men are viewed more favorably than women in roles occupied mainly by men than for roles occupied equally by both sexes, or for roles where gender is unclear.When women demonstrate a behavior that is identified as outstanding, they may be evaluated without negative bias. When the quality of women leadership is ambiguous, it may be devalued relative to men leadership.The literature review also reveals that male and female leaders do not differ in personal or task-oriented styles but rather in tendencies to lead with a directive or participative style. Women tend to lead in a participative style while men tend to lead in a more directive style.References were made by Swim, Eagly, and Johnson throughout the study. Other citations were made by Bass, Yoder, Powell, Rosenthal.
In this new recruit negotiation, I would say that the BATNA’s of each party would have the most affect on the negotiation strategy. If the recruiter has a better applicant on their file, the negotiation strategy would perhaps be to ensure the total scores are higher than the better applicant instead of finding out if the applicant is the right fit for the job. The applicant’s negotiating strategy would also be different if he/she had a better job offer. Instead of trying to get the best total score that the recruiter is willing to give, the applicant could have more leverage if they said that a better salary/bonus was given to them in another
Perrons (2003, p.68) argues that this new economy has created a digital divide, which has the potential to reinforce divisions of gender, class, ethnicity and race. Furthermore, women are more likely to be represented in lower-paid employment, while there is an over-representation of educated white middle-class men in high-level jobs within these professions. This new economy has also fostered a different approach to employment, which is characterised by risk. Gill (2002) draws on Ulrick Beck’s notion that society is shifting to a second modernity, which has been brought about by innovations in technology and globalisation. A stable career was considered the norm in the twentieth century industrial age, however, the concept of a permanent career is being increasingly
It is worldwide agreed that the male stereotype is viewed to be more favourable than the female stereotype. In most cultures men are accorded somewhat higher status than women and researches have shown that high status people are usually judged to be more agentic, self-oriented whereas low status people are communal or relationship oriented. Gender division of labour. The socially determined ideas and practices which define what roles and activities are deemed appropriate for women and men Whilst the gender division of labour tends to be seen as natural and immutable, in fact, these ideas and practices are socially constructed. This results in context-specific patterns of who does what by gender and how this is valued.
