Sexist Discrimination

It is difficult to identify, but there is a type of harassment grounded in gender stereotyping in the context of tourism. It would be useful to discover the hidden relationships between gender harassment and certain beliefs about women as travellers, tourism professionals and sex objects in the field of hospitality. Methodologically, a survey was carried out reaching a sample of ±684 units by means of a convenience sampling procedure. The measuring instruments consisted of a structured questionnaire divided into two kinds of Likert beliefs scales comprising general statements and statements related to tourism. The survey respondent data were also gathered as regards sociodemographic characteristics. This paper presents empirical evidence to identify the causal factors of gender violence by considering general and particular stereotyping in tourism. Firstly, by performing three exploratory factor analyses, three female stereotyping dimensions were labelled in the field of tourism (occupational sexism, ambivalent sexist discrimination, and sex as a commodity), as well as three general prejudices about women (dysfunctional romantic relationships, ethically challenged presumptions, and aesthetical manners conventions) and the gender harassment factor. Secondly, a linear regression analysis was carried out to demonstrate that both general stereotyping related to a broader “life” framework and sectorial prejudices in tourism cause gender harassment. Finally, this research proves that general stereotyping determines sectorial prejudices in the field of tourism. The practical implications could be to enhance gender equality and combat gender harassment by revealing unintentional and unobserved prejudices that occur in a general life setting and in the tourism sphere against women as neglected professionals, under the subtle and ambivalent condition of travellers, and even as objects of consumption.

Introduction. The most frequent clinical outcomes in sarcoidosis patients are typically focused on the objective measurements of functions of the involved organs, but, generally, they do not take into account the individual perception of patients? everyday functioning. The aim of this study was to determine the type of association between the subjective disease outcomes and other objective conventional parameters in patients with sarcoidosis. Material and Methods. In the cross-sectional study including 172 sarcoidosis patients (122 females), quality of life was measured by a generic instrument, i.e. fifteen-dimensional measure of health-related quality of life together with a respiratory specific instrument, i.e. St George?s Respiratory Questionnaire; symptoms of fatigue were measured by Fatigue Scale and dyspnea was measured by the Basal Dyspnea Index. Body-mass index and the course of the disease (acute vs. chronic) were also evaluated. Pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry. Results. Acute sarcoidosis was present in 48 (28%) patients. Mean body mass index was 27.01?5.2. Only 20 (12%) patients had lower forced expiratory volume in one second values (<80%) that indicated the existance of obstructive ventilatory impairment. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that body mass index, clinical course of disease and spirometric parameter forced expiratory volume in one second were the significant predictors (R2=0.929, p<0.01) of sarcoidosis related fatigue (B=0.061, B=0.406, B=0.452; respectively). Body mass index and forced expiratory volume in one second were the only parameters that significantly predicted both patients? quality of life (R2=0.932; B=0.017, B=0.263) and dyspnea (R2=0.847; B=0.025, B=0.668). Conclusions. It is important to measure both subjective patient-reported outcomes and objective disease parameters in sarcoidosis since they represent different aspects of the disease. All applied measuring instruments for the examined subjective outcomes demonstrated good measuring properties.

The bullying phenomenon has been simplified and studied primarily from a psychological perspective. In this study, the phenomenon of bullying was examined by analyzing the joint influence of sociocultural factors such as gender stereotypes, sexism, and attitudes toward sexual and cultural diversity on bullying participation as a bully and a bully follower. Participants were 1,165 Spanish and Portuguese adolescents with a mean age of 14.64 years. The hierarchical linear regression model reveals that bullies are less expressive and more instrumental, they hold more hostile sexist and less benevolent sexist attitudes, more negative attitudes toward homosexuality and more positive ones toward lesbianism, as well as more negative behavior toward gender nonconforming people, and more negative attitudes toward cultural diversity. With the exception of expressiveness and negative attitudes toward cultural diversity, these variables also explain participation as a bully follower. Implications for the development of educational policies and practices of bullying prevention are discussed.

Violencia Escolar

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la presencia de los estereotipos de género en las dinámicas de violencia escolar. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con diseño cualitativo en dos centros educativos en República Dominicana, a partir de una muestra de 604 estudiantes entre 9 y 16 años. Las técnicas de levantamiento de información fueron talleres lúdicos-creativos, grupos focales y observación no participante. Los resultados evidencian que el arraigo a los roles estereotipados de género se constituye en un perpetuador de la violencia escolar. Esto se expresa en la violencia verbal y física y, de manera aún más dramática, en la violencia sexual, de la cual las alumnas siempre son las principales víctimas. Además, la socialización diferenciada produce que manifestaciones de violencia de género en la escuela sean invisibilizadas. Los hallazgos plantean la necesidad de formar a estudiantes en igualdad de género y educación afectivo-sexual, e integrar el enfoque de género y la coeducación en el desarrollo profesional docente a fin de que los centros educativos puedan desarrollar un abordaje preventivo y no reduccionista de la violencia escolar. The aim of this research is to analyze the presence of gender stereotypes in the dynamics of school violence. A descriptive study with qualitative design was carried out in two schools in the Dominican Republic, from a sample of 604 students between the ages 9 to 16 years old. The information-gathering techniques included creative play workshops, focus groups, and non-participant observation. The results demonstrate that the deeply-rooted gender stereotypes constitute a perpetuating support of school violence. This is expressed in verbal and physical violence and, even more severely, in sexual violence, of which female students are always the main victims. Furthermore, differentiated socialization renders manifestations of gender violence in school invisible. These findings raise the need to train students in gender equality and affective-sexual education, and to integrate a gender-based approach in the professional development of teachers in order to achieve a preventive approach to school violence.

Introduction: The undisputed increase of the relevance of measuring the work-related psychosocial factors is confronted with a lack of qualified well-documented measuring instruments covering all important aspects. Aim: To develop and validate a standardized Arabic version of the COPSOQ II for evaluating the psychosocial environment at the oil and gas workplace. Method: COPSOQ network guidelines for validation studies were followed. The original Danish COPSOQ II (Long version) was meticulously translated and comprehensively validated among an adaptation sample of 500 oil and gas industry workers in the Suez Oil Processing Company in Egypt. Only 438 workers completed the questionnaire in Arabic and English languages with demonstrated sociodemographic data (Yielding a response rate of 87.6%). Psychometric properties of COPSOQ II scale items were depicted in terms of descriptive statistics, feasibility analysis, and internal consistency. Furthermore, A-COPSOQ II was tested for factorial validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 35 ± 6 years. Scales of Arabic COPSOQ depicted a great Concordance and Reliability (C-α > 0.7). Content Validity Index (CVI) was estimated to be 0.87; ranging from 0.7 - 0.9. Models of exploratory factor analyses projected a reflective working model with reasonable results in 33 out of 41 overall scales. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable fit (X2 = 745.67, X2/df = 2.09, SRMR = 0.058, CFI = 0.87). Conclusion: Arabic version of COPSOQ II is a relevant and culturally accepted conceptual instrument for tracking psychosocial hazards and promoting a safe environment for all workers.

ABSTRACT This study aimed at analyzing the social representations of gender violence by family members. A qualitative study based upon the Theory of Social Representations. The free word association test was undertaken by 81 relatives of women who suffered gender violence registered in Family Health Units of Jequié, Bahia. The data were submitted to correspondence factorial analysis in the Tri-deux-mots software. The relatives' representation of gender violence is rooted in unequal gender relations observed in the hierarchy of social relations between the man and the women, which legitimizes gender violence. Younger relatives highlighted the sexist attitudes while those aged 40 years and older highlighted the role of women as caregivers. Evangelical relatives emphasized the subordination of women while relatives who follow other religions emphasized the suffering. We emphasize the need to implement actions to address violence considering these representations in the healthcare services.
