The Way

Today’s teenagers have a very close relationship with ICTs and the digital space related to them, as they have impacted the way the youth constructs their sense of self and the tools they use to perform their carefully constructed identity. One key element which influences the way one constructs their views by themselves is within the boundaries set by their biological sex and therefore through the behaviors associated with their asigned gender. Through the symbolic interactionist lense, or more specifically through Goffman's dramaturgical theory on the manner in which one presents him/herself in society, this paper looks at the manner in which teenagers use social media platforms and at the way they consume and create digital content in order to present their gender identity. The way teenagers consume and produce digital content differs and depends on how they interpret their ideals of femininity and masculinity, which are afterwards reproduced in the content they post on their social media pages. Therefore this research is an attempt to understand what are the factors teenagers take in account when consuming and producing content. What gender differences can be observed in regards to new media consumption? What difference can be observed in online activity behaviors between males and females? How do they feel about their gender identity concerning fitting in with their peer group? A mix-methodological approach was engaged in the data collection process. In the first stage of the research highschool students (n=324) from the city of Suceava (Romania) participated in taking an online survey. The initial intent was to meet with the young respondents in person, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic this was deemed impossible. For the second stage of data collection, six of the participants who took the online survey were invited to participate in a focus group designed to grasp a better understanding of the results from the previous stage. The discovered findings uncover engaging gender similarities and differences in social media consumption and the type, subject, matter and style in which they posted their content, but also in regards to the performance of the self between the online and offline space.

The article deals with the aspects of social and psychological adaptation in elderly and senile age and analyses the conditions for successful aging. The authors assume that people in elderly age have significant individual characteristics and, as a consequence, research results are often contradictory. It is shown that the socio-psychological adaptation in elderly patients is determined by individual psychological qualities, by specificity of their identity, by strategies of their adaptation to old age. This may be the strategy of the "closed loop" type, that is maintenance of self as an individual, or an alternative strategy, maintaining self as a personality. It was noted that adaptation to old age was flying differently in women and men, which may be due to gender differences in lifestyle, the strongest identification of some men with occupational roles, and of women with homework and family obligations. It is shown that successful aging contributes to the formation of androgynous type of gender identity, which provides flexibility in respond to different situations.

And Behaviors

A questionnaire designed to assess attitudes, experiences, and behaviors which reflect differences in gender identity with work situations was sent to a national random sample of 1,000 psychologists. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) women's careers are more affected than men's by conflicts over interpersonal relationships; (2) women are more likely than men to employ strategies to maintain intimacy and interpersonal harmony in the workplace; (3) women derive a sense of job satisfaction and happiness from a contextual, rather than individualistic, perspective. Analyses indicated that few significant sex differences could be substantiated. On the majority of questionnaire items, there were no significant gender differences in responses. The differences that did emerge generally were consistent with previously reported findings and are interpreted in relation to Hypotheses 1 and 3. The implications of these findings concerning influences of gender identity on professional functioning are discussed.

Method Of Assessment

The article presents the analysis of gender differences in emotional intelligence (EQ) in adolescence. The hypothesis was based on the assumption that there are gender differences in EQ in adolescence. The research involved 111 15-16 years old students, 57 of whom were girls and 54 of whom were boys. An ascertaining experiment with using such measures as "EmIn" (D.V. Lyusin), method of "Assessment of EQ" (N. Hall) and "Diagnosis of gender identity" (S. Bem modificated by V. A. Labunskaya, M. V. Burakova) were taken as a method. As a result, the hypothesis was confirmed, the leading components of EQ for boys and for girls were brought out, the qualitative description of the structure of EQ was given. The research expants the notion of the specifics and gender differences in EQ in adolescence. The obtained data could be used in the age-psychological counseling, in correctional and developmental work with adolescents, and the recommendations for development of EQ could be formulated.

The Relationship

AbstractDisgust is derived from evolutionary processes to avoid pathogen contamination. Theories of gender differences in pathogen disgust utilize both evolutionary psychological and sociocultural perspectives. Drawing on research that suggests that masculine and feminine gender identities are somewhat orthogonal, we examine how gender identity intersects with pathogen disgust. In addition, building on evolutionary psychological and sociocultural accounts of how caregiving and parental investment affect pathogen disgust, we present a new measure of caregiving disgust and compare its properties across gender, parental status, and political ideology with those of a conventional pathogen disgust measure. This registered report finds that how masculinity and femininity affect disgust varies by gender, disgust domain, and their intersection; that parental status effects vary by disgust domain but not gender; that reframing disgust in terms of caregiving eliminates the gender gap in disgust; and that the caregiving frame unexpectedly strengthens the relationship between disgust and political ideology.
