Males And Females

This study employs focus group methodology to explore gender differences in sunscreen use. Guided by the theory of reasoned action, males and females were found to differ on each of the following constructs: behavior, behavioral beliefs, and normative beliefs. Males and females differed in their sunscreen use, with females adopting a more preventive style of sunscreen use and males a more reactive style. Males and females differed in their salient beliefs that motivated their sunscreen use, many of which were related to traditional American gender roles. In addition, although males and females were aware of both positive and negative sources of normative beliefs regarding sunscreen use, females received more encouragement from their mothers and peers than males. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the design of future interventions.

Being Bullied

Using focus group methodology, this study explored the experiences of young carers from the perspective of former young carers in Edmonton, Alberta. The study findings reveal that being a young carer has a significant impact on a young person’s life that extends well into adulthood. Former young carers recalled being burdened with household responsibilities, as well as with providing direct care to a family member. They generally had negative school experiences that included being bullied and feeling that the system ignored their suffering. They felt physically and emotionally tired and stressed, lonely, and socially withdrawn. Despite their stresses, they wanted to keep their situation a secret, for fear of external interference into their family. While females recalled deriving some positive benefits from the young caregiving experience, males saw absolutely no benefits. As adults, they perceived that being a young care had affected their social development and the formation of personal relationships into adulthood. Young carers in Edmonton are a hidden and vulnerable population who appear to suffer in silence. The lack of societal recognition has impeded the development of support systems for young carers.

Print Format

Determining user preferences for data elements requisite to identifying print format serial titles in OPACs/WebPACs assumes an even greater priority when extrapolated to electronic serials where notions of seriality and periodicity cease to have the same meaning as in a physical object-oriented venue. This study utilized focus group methodology to define more user-centred bibliographic. . .
