Contemporary scientific guidance on the relationship between male and femal A previous article discussed the ethical guidance given by contemporary popular books and articles on the relationship between men and women. The authority for Christians of such books (based on an evolutionist biology and worldview) was questioned. No answer was, however, provided on the important and difficult question whether and, if so, to what extent human biology influences or even determines one’s ethical behaviour. Since many current books on sexual morality are based on empirical socio-biological research, this article takes a critical look at this scientific discipline. A Christian- philosophical alternative on the issue of human sexuality and gender will conclude this, as well as the previous article.

In this article I present findings of a phenomenological study of the relationship between urban space, sexuality and gender. I have investigated conditions of urban spaces in which social gatherings established among equal and perceptived adults expressing their sexual lusts and pleasures are allowed and encouraged. I have characterised these urban spaces as queer spaces. In the first part, I present circumstances that have imperative significance to the existence of queer spaces, and I argue that queer spaces exist in the metropolis and because of the metropolis. Hereafter, I expound the yearnings that are related to queer spaces and point out that for some individuals queer space equals an emancipated and at the same time an oppositional space to other urban spaces. For other individuals queer space is taken as a parallel space to other urban spaces. These different connotations to queer spaces are related to a dichotomy of either keeping a queer sexuality a secret or being open about it. Finally, I suggest that queer space serves as home territory recognised by being something in between the wide, open urban space, and the intimate, private space, and this unique trait of queer space contributes to a redefinition of the positions of men and women in their sexual performances in public.

The Relationship

Contemporary popular guidance on the relationship between male and female: reflections on an evolutionistic ethics This investigation is undertaken for the following reasons: The theoretical question about the nature and meaning of human sexuality is firstly important, because sexuality is an essential element of being human. Secondly, it is also a practical problem. How does a “normal” man or woman differ from each other? How can one know that you are behaving properly as man/woman? A third reason for this exploration is the fact that much of the scientific research done on this issue is nowadays popularised in all kinds of articles and books providing practical guidance for conduct as man/woman. Many of these publications are, however, inspired by Darwinism. The problem of sexuality is accordingly tackled in the following steps: As an introduction, a distinction is made between sex, sexuality and gender. Then the message of a popular book about this issue is discussed. This is followed by identifying the worldviewish and philosophical background of such kinds of books. The article is closed by a few preliminary conclusions. (In a follow-up article the socio-biological background of the evolutionistic view on sexuality will be investigated, which will conclude with a Christian philosophical alternative.)

Research background and hypothesis. The analysis of factors which might infl uence exercise adherence is important issue for physical activity promotion. Studies show that exercisers’ body image is important factor associated with well being, exercise motivation and specifi c exercise–related behaviour.Research aim was is to examine the relationship between exercise adherence, body image and social physique anxiety in a sample of fi tness centre participants. Research methods. Members of fi tness centres (n = 217, 66 of them were women) provided their answers on exercise experience, in three subscales (appearance evaluation, appearance orientation and overweight preoccupation) of The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ-AS; Brown et al., 1990) and Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS; Hart et al., 1989). Mean age of the sample was 29.02 (9.85) years (range = 18–68 years).Research results. Women demonstrated higher appearance orientation, overweight preoccupation and social physique anxiety compared to men. However, we observed no signifi cant differences in appearance evaluation, appearance orientation and overweight preoccupation in the groups of different exercise experience of men and women. When overweight respondents (≥ 25 kg / m²) were excluded from the analysis, there were no statistically signifi cant differences observed in body image and social physique anxiety in exercise experience groups of men and women. Exercising longer than 6 years signifi cantly predicted overweight preoccupation [95% CI: 1.25–16.94] controlled by age and gender. Discussion and conclusions. Exercising men demonstrated more positive body image and lower social physique anxiety compared to women, except for appearance evaluation. There were observed no body image and social physique relationships with exercise adherence observed in the sample of fi tness centre participants, however, exercise experience longer than 6 years predicted overweight preoccupation.Keywords: body image concerns, exercise experience, self-presentation.

Cvd Mortality

Sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have been attributed to differences in pathophysiology between men and women and to disparities in CVD management that disproportionately affect women compared to men. Similarly, there has been investigation of differences in the prevalence and presentation of insomnia attributable to sex. Few studies have examined how sex and insomnia interact to influence CVD outcomes, however. In this review, we summarize the literature on sex-specific differences in the prevalence and presentation of insomnia as well as existing research regarding the relationship between insomnia and CVD outcomes as it pertains to sex. Research to date indicate that women are more likely to have insomnia than men, and there appear to be differential associations in the relation between insomnia and CVD by sex. We posit potential mechanisms of the relationship between sex, insomnia and CVD, discuss gaps in the existing literature, and provide commentary on future research needed in this area. Unraveling the complex relations between sex, insomnia, and CVD may help to explain sex-specific differences in CVD, and identify sex-specific strategies for promotion of cardiovascular health. Throughout this review, terms “men” and “women” are used as they are in the source literature, which does not differentiate between sex and gender. The implications of this are also discussed.

Poetry Collection

Märta Tikkanen’s poetry collection Århundradets kärlekssaga ( The love story of the century, 1978) is a confessional book on life in a family where the husband and father is an alcohol abuser. It is also a love story about a married couple who love one another despite the terrible challenges posed to the relationship by alcoholism. The poetry collection became one of the most influential books in contemporary Nordic fiction, its themes on gender roles and alcohol abuse setting the trend in the Nordic discussion of women’s liberation. Märta Tikkanen’s courage to tell her own private story inspired other women to confess their gender equality problems to the public. The alcohol abuse of Märta Tikkanen’s husband Henrik Tikkanen was seen as an allegory for the more general problems in the relation between men and women. My essay introduces Märta Tikkanen’s poetry collection and discusses how the poems develop the theme of gender and alcohol. I will also compare her description of their marriage with Henrik Tikkanen’s self-portrait in his autobiographical novella Mariegatan 26, Kronohagen (1977). The analysis refers to contemporary research on gender and alcohol abuse and discusses how the poems contribute to a public recognition of the relationship between gender and alcohol abuse. The essay discusses the reception of Märta Tikkanen’s influential poems and explores her treatment of alcohol and gender in relation to other Nordic confessional or fictional books on alcohol abuse.

The Relationship

Two studies examined the relationship between explicit stereotyping and prejudice by investigating how stereotyping of minority men and women may be differentially related to prejudice. Based on research and theory related to the intersectional invisibility hypothesis (Purdie-Vaughns & Eibach, 2008), we hypothesized that stereotyping of minority men would be more strongly related to prejudice than stereotyping of minority women. Supporting our hypothesis, in both the United Kingdom (Study 1) and the United States (Study 2), when stereotyping of Black men and women were entered into the same regression model, only stereotyping of Black men predicted prejudice. Results were inconsistent in regard to South Asians and East Asians. Results are discussed in terms of the intersectional invisibility hypothesis (Purdie-Vaughns & Eibach, 2008) and the gendered nature of the relationship between stereotyping and attitudes.

The Relationship

Observing the relationship between men and women, actually recognized the existence of two relationships that are connotative be distinguished, that, sexual relations and gender relations. Sexual relationship is the relationship between men and women based on the demands and biological categories. Whereas gender relations is a concept and a different social reality, in which the sexual division of labor between men and women is not based on an understanding of normative and biological categories, but on the quality, skills, and roles based on social conventions. Thus, the concepts and manifestations of gender relations more dynamic and has the flexibility to consider psycho-social variables were developed. Based on this understanding, it could be someone who is biologically classified as a woman, but from the point of gender may play a role as a man or vice versa. Therefore, we need to reorient the roles of women, especially their involvement in the organization of the Islamic community, which often marginalized.

No presente artigo, apresentamos elementos da composição atual do campo religioso brasileiro em função daquilo que será necessário para iluminar a discussão sobre as relações entre religião, sexualidades e gênero. Buscamos compreender teoricamente o papel desempenhado pelas religiões, mais especificamente do Catolicismo, na vida das pessoas que aderem a elas ou na cultura envolvente. Elencamos questões relacionadas à moral sexual católica, à família e ao ethos privado. Apresentamos indagações que envolvem o Catolicismo e a desigualdade de gênero. Discutiremos a religião como modeladora de subjetividades e traremos os sentimentos de culpa e vergonha relacionados à homossexualidade e à religião. Apresentaremos uma especificidade do trânsito religioso de homossexuais e, por fim, faremos a relação entre alguns princípios religiosos relativos à sexualidade e o exercício de poder em diversas esferas: simbólico-discursiva, pastoral, privada, pública etc. Palavras-chave: religião, sexualidade, homossexualidade, gênero. Abstract In this paper, we present elements of the current composition of the Brazilian religious field in terms of what will be needed to illuminate the discussion of relations between religion, sexuality and gender. We seek to understand theoretically the role played by religions, specifically Catholicism, in the lives of people who adhere to them or in the surrounding culture. We list questions relating Catholic sexual morality, family and private ethos. We introduce questions that involve Catholicism and gender inequality. We discuss the role of the religion as modeler of subjectivities and we bring feelings of guilt and shame related to homosexuality and religion. We present a specificity of religious transit of homosexuals and, finally, we will link some religious principles relating to sexuality with the exercise of power in several spheres: the symbolic-discursive, pastoral, private, public etc Keywords: religion, sexuality, homosexuality, gender.

The Relationship

This study examines the relationship between the gender role and family attitudes of husbands and wives and five indicators of marital satisfaction. The authors argue that men and women who espouse nontraditional attitudes are likely to be less satisfied than their more traditional counterparts. An empirical analysis is presented using data from husbands and wives interviewed in the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households. Husbands and wives who hold nontraditional attitudes toward family life are less satisfied with their marriages, as are men and women whose attitudes diverge from their spouse's attitudes. The effects of attitudes did not vary according to the actual gender roles observed by the couple.

The Relationship

Violence exposure has a significant impact on victims’ psychological well-being. This study examined the relationship between two types of violence exposures (threats and physical assaults), coping styles (emotion focused, avoidant, and problem focused), gender, and depression among 211 (147 females and 64 males) young urban adults (ages 18–24). Most participants (60%) endorsed being physically assaulted, whereas many (40%) endorsed being threatened. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted. As hypothesized, women reported using more emotion-focused coping and reported greater depression than men. Avoidant coping was a predictor for increased depression for both men and women. However, women who employed problem-focused coping after their first physical assault reported lower rates of depression. These findings have implications for designing early interventions.
