Over the last two decades, the way doctors and patients interact has changed. There has been a shift away from what Talcott Parsons described as a paternalistic model of interaction to a more collaborative, participatory, patient-centered model of interaction. Yet not all interactions between doctors and patients are collaborative. Using status characteristics theory, the authors hypothesized that medical encounters are more likely to be physician dominated when the status differences between doctors and patients are higher. They tested hypotheses about race, gender, and socioeconomic status differences between doctors and patients. The authors found support for the hypotheses, especially regarding status differences for race and gender. Doctor-patient interactions were most physician-centered when doctors had higher status than patients on race (white versus non-white) and gender (male versus female)

This study investigated the predictive influence of career growth on work stress of electrical/electronic trade teachers. The study adopted correlation research design and the structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondent. The entire one hundred and eighty five (185) electrical/electronic trade teachers of technical colleges in three states of Nigeria were employed for the study. The data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Meanwhile, hierarchical and standard multiple linear regression analysis was used to establish predictive influence of career growth of electrical/electronic trade teachers on their job stress. Meanwhile, two-way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to establish the status of interaction effect of age and gender, experience and gender, type of teacher and age and type of teacher and experience on career growth, and job stress of electrical/electronic trade teachers. The study found that career growth and its sub-factors—career goal progress, professional ability development, promotion speed, and remuneration growth—positively predicted job stress of electrical/electronic trade teachers. The study claimed that there were interaction effects of age and gender, experience and gender, type of teacher and age and type of teacher and experience on career growth, and job stress but not statistically significant among electrical/electronic trade teachers.

We propose an accessible and repeatable method for calculating rates of institutionalization and homelessness by age and gender among Status First Nations in Canada. We calculate this measure by combining Census and administrative data—a method that could be estimated fairly easily over time. We estimate extremely high rates of institutionalization and homelessness, especially among young Status men. We estimate that, averaged over 2001 and 2006, 12% of the Status male population was either institutionalized or homeless. We show that this high rate of institutionalization and homelessness results in a distortion in the male–female gender ratio, which may have long-run implications for the continued legal existence of Status First Nations in Canada.

AbstractThe mortality data can be used as an alternative source to monitor the status of Covid-19. We have studied a dataset including deaths up to the fourth week of April. There is a large excess, more pronounced at the beginning of the pandemic, showing a difference in age and gender compared to the Covid-19-confirmed cases. The study indicates that mortality information can be used to provide a less biased time profile of the pandemic.

Based on previous research and status characteristics theories, we hypothesized that the status (in)consistency between gender, motherhood, and length of experience on the one hand, and job prestige on the other, will be a significant factor contributing to legitimized gender pay gaps. Two multifactorial (vignette) experiments conducted in Poland in 2017 and 2018 showed that job prestige, having more than one child, job experience, and gender have effects on justice evaluations (although the effects of parenthood and gender were very small and sometimes contrary to our predictions). In this note we present the methodology and results of both experiments.

Flat feet (pes planus) represents one of the most frequent deformities of the lower extremities which occurs with the collapse of the physiological arches of the feet. The causes of flat feet are numerous. One of the main causes is excessive weight and obesity, problems which this review paper meant to explain by analyzing the works of authors who dealt with this problem from 2000 to 2017. The prevalence of flat feet varies depending on several factors, but all the authors agree that obesity increases the percentage of the prevalence of flat feet among children. The influence of physical activity on any changes to the status of the arches of the feet and a decrease in body weight have been the focus of very few authors. The recommendation is for this problem to be analyzed more because of the positive results that the application of physical activity has on postural status and disorders of the feet. The prevalence of flat feet differs depending on the geographical area, but also depending on age and gender.

Gratitude is an extremely necessary spiritual element in our lives. Grateful people experience life in a more peaceful, and happy way. The study was conducted on 762 students from two clusters of gifted and non-specialized high schools in Da Nang city to describe the current situation, perception of gratitude and factors affecting the level of gratitude in high school students. Research results show that 79% of students are not grateful. A special thing is that the factors such as academic ability, age, and gender do not completely affect the gratitude level of high school students. Based on the findings, the study proposes a number of measures that partially affect the educational methods of schools and families, as well as directly affect the survey subjects.
