Men’s professional work roles require different attributes according to the gender-typicality of their occupation (female- versus male-dominated). We predicted that levels of men’s strain and job satisfaction would be predicted by levels of self-ascribed instrumental and expressive attributes. Therefore, we tested for positive effects of instrumentality for men in general, and instrumentality in interaction with expressiveness for men in female-dominated occupations in particular. Data were based on a survey of 213 men working in female-dominated occupations and 99 men working in male-dominated occupations. We found instrumentality to be negatively related to men’s strain and positively related to their job satisfaction. We also found expressiveness of men in female-dominated occupations to be related to reduced strain when instrumentality was low. This suggests it is important for men to be able to identify highly with either instrumentality or expressiveness when regulating role demands in female-dominated occupations.

Objective: To examine the history of Fremantle, Western Australia’s first purpose-built asylum. Method: A range of primary sources were consulted. Results: Fremantle was opened in 1865 to house inmates away from the populace and for the most part under the care of Dr HC Barnett. Attendants as well as inmates were occupied with work roles that kept the asylum functioning cost effectively. Conclusion: Within 15 years, the structure was neglected and overcrowded. Changes to the Penal Servitude Act limiting convict transportation, petty crime and a need to manage its proliferation resulted in large numbers of people being incarcerated at Fremantle.

Teacher collaboration in communities is a popular instructional improvement policy. However, not all teachers are equally integrated into communities. So, they may not have the same opportunities to learn. This exploratory study of 215 urban public school teachers indicates community integration and peer learning are associated with teachers’ social status—namely, the perceived ranking of their own and their colleagues’ expertise. High status teachers are more frequently sought out, low status teachers less so. Teachers who perceive their own status more favorably than how their colleagues perceive it associate more with members of other communities. These same teachers report practices that are more similar to their peers. If this results from misperceptions of their own and their colleagues’ expertise, then status inconsistency may not only limit access to instructionl epertise but also mask the need for expertise.
