Gender based Barriers to Effective Collaboration: A Case Study on Children's Safeguard Partnerships
This paper explores gender related barriers to
interagency collaboration in statutory children safeguard partnerships
against a theoretical framework that considers individuals,
professions and organisations interacting as part of a complex
adaptive system. We argue that gender-framed obstacles to effective
communication between culturally discrepant agencies can ultimately
impact on the effectiveness of policy delivery,. We focused our
research on three partnership structures in Sefton Metropolitan
Borough in order to observe how interactions occur, whether the
agencies involved perceive their occupational environment as being
gender affected and whether they believe this can hinder effective
collaboration with other biased organisations. Our principal empirical
findings indicate that there is a general awareness amongst
professionals of the role that gender plays in each of the agencies
reviewed, that gender may well constitute a barrier to effective
communication, but there is a sense in which there is little scope for
change in the short term. We aim to signal here, however, the need to
change against the risk of service failure.
Labile affect as a risk factor for aggressive behavior in men
The present study examined the relationships between masculine gender role conflict (GRC) and affect regulation in men's aggressive behavior. Ninety-two undergraduate men participated in a competitive reaction time task whereby they were given a choice to administer shocks to an ostensible opponent following a win-lose trial sequence. GRC was measured with the Gender Role Conflict Scale, and labile negative affect was measured by bidirectional change scores on the Negative Affect subscale of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. The results of the current study reveal that labile negative affect has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between GRC and aggression in men, in that GRC predicts aggressive behavior only at high levels of negative affect change. Effects of negative affect-regulation and GRC on initiation and maintenance of aggressive behavior are discussed in the context of gender role socialization in men and treatment outcome.
Sorry, Boys, This Is Our Domain - New York Times
Research shows that among the youngest Internet users, the primary creators of Web content (blogs, graphics, photographs, Web sites) are not misfits resembling the Lone Gunmen of “The X Files.” On the contrary, the cyberpioneers of the moment are digitally effusive teenage girls.
