This paper undertakes to examine the hitherto neglected but nevertheless important area of Research , the Sociology of Battered Women. As there are very few researches in Sociological Literature in this area, particularly from the Indian perspective, hence a study in this direction in Kanpur City was carried out. The analysis reveals the diverse factors which lead to wife battering such as the age, religion, caste, educational background, rural or urban background, childbearing, sex, dowry, male child, economic status, dominance of in-laws, etc. The study explores that despite the various empowerment and emancipation strategies adopted by the different sectors of society for women , the ghastly reality still persists that whatsoever be the religion, caste, background of the women, they are being tortured and battered even today. The basic causes behind this being the prevalence of male domination & patriarchal systems, gender discrimination, social dependency and unequal power relations. This social devil can be eliminated only and only after the women gain political and economic power.

A battery of six tests assessing various aspects of receptive and expressive oral language was administered to 27 cerebral palsied children and controls matched on the variables of age, intelligence, sex, race, hearing acuity, socio-economic status, and similarity of educational background. Results indicated only minimal differences between groups. Signs of deviancy in language behavior often attributed to the cerebral palsied were not observed. Although previous investigators have suggested consistent language disturbances in the cerebral palsied, evidence for a disorder of comprehension and formulation of oral symobls was not found.

Abstract:Inequality in provision of educational right to girls is the leading rationale of their exclusion from the mainstream. If the marginalized sections of the society such as minorities, disabled and girls are given education as their indispensable human right then this will escorts towards their social inclusion in education sector. Enrollment ratios of girls lag far behind than boys at all levels of education in Pakistan. Worldwide literacy rates for adult men far exceed from women. Education enhances labor market productivity and income growth, yet educated women have beneficial effects on social well-being of the family. The social benefits from women's education ranges from fostering economic growth to extending the average life expectancy among female population. Despite these facts the issue of educational right for girls has been denied in the educational policies of Pakistan since 1947. In Pakistan women have to face biasness in acquiring quality education. Gender discrimination is explicit from Economic Survey of Pakistan (2010) where the men are 65% literate and the women are 45% literate. In Southern Punjab (Pakistan) rigid cultural patterns, poverty, prejudice, stereotypic expectations from girls education, restricted movement of girls, precarious traveling and lack of female teachers confines the girls from acquiring quality education. The respondents (N=600) were interviewed from affiliated schools (n=100 out of N=520) from BISE through multistage sampling technique from Multan and Khanewal districts. The results of the research illustrated that parental preference to boys education, rigid cultural patterns, cost of schooling (direct and indirect) and low socio-economic status of the parents were the foremost determinants of social exclusion of girls from education sector of Southern Punjab (Pakistan). Despite these determinants family size, prejudice, patriarchal structure of society, limited involvement of girls in decision making process and rigid values allied with girls education are the major constraints that restricted the access of girls from education sector of Southern Punjab (Pakistan).

Corporate Leaders

Global leadership effectiveness has become one of the major issues in human resource management. It is very important for cross-cultural managers to take into consideration the paradigm shift in the business world, keeping in mind the opportunity for organizational growth and individual development. The key issue that the present corporate leaders have to face is to formulate action plans to tackle diversity in the workforce covering the broader spectrum of dimensions, vis-à-vis, ethnicity, age, gender, educational background, economic status, marital status, and skill sets. Since the corporate environment is greatly accelerated by the globalization and advancements in technology, global leaders need to attain a set of competencies that would facilitate them to realize their vision and thus enhance their performance efficiency and competitiveness. The chapter deals with the specific paradigms of the leadership styles and the management of workforce diversity so as to establish the linkages between leadership style and diversity management.

In this investigation, it was found that the higher percentage of favorable responses toward children's inter-ethnic marriages came from the Dutch ethnic group. The Greek and Slovak groups indicated higher rates of negative responses. However, marked differences, especially among the Dutch and Slovaks were observed when religious endogamy was presented as an alternative. The females, in all three minority groups, indicated a higher percentage of objection and reluctance for their children's inter-ethnic marriage than the males. The educational background was not an important factor among the Dutch. But, among the Greek and Slovak groups the higher percentage of immigrants objecting to inter-marriage came from the lower educational levels. With respect to the immigrant's rural-urban background in the home country it was found among the Greeks and Slovaks that the larger the community they came from the higher the rate of objection to inter-ethnic marriage. There were no marked differences in such attitudes among the Dutch. It was also found that some of the immigrants who already had practised exogamy (married outside their ethnic group) definitely objected or at least showed indifference for having their children married to someone outside their ethnic group.

Women's Football

This research aims to explore the gender–power relations and gendered experiences of the players in a women’s football team in Turkey. An ethnographic method and a feminist perspective were used to allow a deeper understanding of their experiences. Based on participant observation and interviews conducted with 14 players, three coaches, and one staff member, the data were analyzed via thematic analysis. The identified themes are (a) institutionalized gender discrimination and (b) compulsory femininity: being ladylike. The findings indicate that unequal gender relations in the club, influenced by institutionalized gender discrimination, determine the position of the women’s team within the club. Accordingly, compulsory femininity is continuously generated in the field. Consequently, the women’s football team remained at the periphery (and finally outside) of the men’s club.

My article is a reading of Genga-Idowu’s Lady in Chains with an intention to show how she attempts to rewrite the presentation of the prostitute figure in a Kenyan urban space by figuring prostitution as an institution that is useful in questioning and revising economic power relations between men and women. Genga-Idowu shows that women can reliably accumulate income from prostitution and emancipate themselves from the economic disadvantages of postcolonial Kenya. I examine specific traits of the prostitute figure and the spaces within the city that this writer utilizes to revise and disavow Kenyan male writers and socio-cultural conception of the prostitute. Thus prostitution will be projected as a business and a potential alternative road that makes women economically powerful and frees them from other kinds of disadvantages that characterize their lives.

Help Seeking Behaviour

Background and Purpose: Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder which impacts a person’s ability to successfully function in the community. When it interacts with structural and situational stress like poverty, homelessness and unemployment, it can lead to negative experiences and makes a person vulnerable to abuse or even develop resilience or retaining a meaningful life within the limitation of the disorder. The study aims to understand how individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia define and evaluate their experience of living in the community; personal and environmental strengths, impact of illness on their personal and social life, the challenges and barriers they meet in their day to day life and how they overcome those challenges. Methods: The study focuses on lived experiences and deriving meaning from those experiences from a service user perspective. Therefore, Hermeneutic phenomenological approach will be used. In-depth interviews will be conducted over the course of four months to elicit client’s narratives of their experiences. The interviews are transcribed, read and coded to cluster thematic aspects in each case by using ATLAS.ti.v.7. Data will be collected till saturation point is reached and participants are from various age-group, socio-economic status, ethnicity and educational background, living in the Community. Implication: Participants’ stories would narrate sources of strength, process of normalization, describing instances of discrimination, social and structural factors which they encounter affecting their help-seeking behaviour and how these factors act as facilitator and barriers in their day to day life. Findings would suggest the need for advocacy services which are discussed through recommendations and suggestions.

Šio tyrimo tikslas – 6–18 m. vaikų reprezentacinės (N = 3191) ir klinikinės (N = 780) imčių, emocinių ir elgesio sunkumų sąsajų palyginimas su šeimos socialiniais, ekonominiais ir demografiniais veiksniais ir siekis tęsti 2003 m. atlikto tyrimo duomenų analizę. Elgesio ir emocinių sunkumų įvertinimui panaudotas Vaikų elgesio aprašas (CBCL6 / 18) bei Jaunuolių klausimynas (YSR11 / 18) (Achenbach, Rescorla, 2001) bei anketa, skirta socialiniams demografiniams duomenims apie vaiką ir jo šeimą surinkti. Plačiai išanalizuotos socialinių, demografinių bei ekonominių kintamųjų sąsajos su CBCL ir YSR skalių rezultatais bei atlikta palyginamoji dviejų imčių rezultatų analizė. Tyrimo nustatyta, kad vaikams iš nepilnų šeimų būdingesni emociniai ir elgesio (ypač eksternalūs) sunkumai, o klinikinės imties vaikams iš nepilnų šeimų dažniau teikiama stacionarinė nei ambulatorinė pagalba. Mūsų tyrimo duomenimis, aukštesnis tėvų išsilavinimas (ypač motinos) buvo svarbus socialinis veiksnys, padedantis mažinti tiek reprezentacinės, tiek ir klinikinės imčių vaikų psichologinius sunkumus. Šeimos socialinis ekonominis statusas neigiamai koreliavo su daugelio CBCL ir YSR klausimyno skalių rezultatais. Regresinės analizės būdu prognozuojama socialinių, ekonominių ir demografinių kintamųjų įtaka CBCL ir YSR skalių rodikliams. Rezultatai rodo, kad vaiko lytis buvo reikšmingas kintamasis, darąs įtaką tiek sveikų, tiek sergančių vaikų internaliems ir eksternaliems sunkumams. Vaikų amžius labiau susijęs su sveikų vaikų sunkumais. Šioje publikacijoje taip pat pateikiamos patikslintos ir lengviau praktikoje naudoti pritaikytos CBCL6 / 18, TRF 11 / 18 ir YSR11 / 18 normos bei atitaisomos korektūros klaidos, įsivėlusios pateikiant Mąstymo ir Dėmesio sunkumų skalių vidurkius CBCL, TRF ir YSR pagal standartizavimo duomenų lenteles (Žukauskienė ir Kajokienė, 2006).

EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS OF REFERRED AND NON-REFERRED CHILDREN: ANALYSIS OF ASSOCIATIONS WITH FAMILY SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES Ilona Kajokienė, Rita Žukauskienė Summary The focus of this paper – analysis of associations of emotional and behavioral problems of referred and non-referred children with family socio-demographic variables. For this purpose, we used data from clinical sample (N = 780) that consists from children placed for treatment to child psychiatry centers and mental health centers, and data from representative sample (referred children are excluded) (N = 3191). Worldwide known ASEBA instruments CBCL6/18 and YSR 11/18 were applied in this research to evaluate children‘ emotional and behavioral problems, also a questionnaire to collect data on socio-demographic variables about child and his family. We made comprehensive analysis of social, demographic, economic variables in relation to emotional and behavioral problems assessed by CBCL and YSR, also comparison between clinical and representative groups were made. Results show that gender was important variable influencing level of internal and external problems both in clinical and representative samples. Age was more important determinant in representative group. Children from incomplete families showed higher levels of emotional and behavioral disturbances (particularly, external). Children from clinical sample from incomplete families more often were receiving in-patient treatment rather than outpatient treatment. Better educational background (especially that of mothers) was important social factor determining lower levels of psychological problems in both clinical and representative samples. Family SES (income per person) negatively correlated with most CBCL and YSR scales scores, although there were no significant relations with Somatic Complaints and Rule Breaking Behavior scales. Prognostic power of socio-economic, demographic variables to predict child behavioral and emotional problems was assessed. In addition, revised norms for CBCL6/18, TRF6/18 and YSR11/18 are enclosed. Key words: Child development, emotional and behavioral problems, socio-economic status, clinical sample, non-referred sample.
