Influences of Gender Roles

Pages : 73
Book Description
The purpose of this study was to examine gender role traits and gender role beliefs, and how they influence depressive symptomatology and life satisfaction. Gender role norms have been slowly changing over the past century. This shift has been largely contributed to by feminism. As women gain more equal rights and opportunities the roles they take on in life change, so do men's. Today, traditional gender roles are no longer typical as men and women fulfill multiple roles, some of which would not be considered traditional for their sex, such as many women today being in the workforce, and men taking on more domestic duties. Gender role beliefs have also been changing, as views have been shifting to more feminist and less traditionalism. These changes are slow and usually subtle, as each generation grows up with different views of what is typical or appropriate conduct. There have been many studies examining gender role traits and their influences, including depression and life satisfaction. However, there are few studies on gender role beliefs, and there is a lack of research that examines both gender role traits and beliefs influences'. The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender roles influenced well-being, and specifically whether incongruent traits and beliefs have higher depressive symptomatology and lower life satisfaction. 150 participants were recruited for this study. Participants completed the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI), the Gender Role Beliefs Scale (GRBS), the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) online. Results show that gender roles and well-being are related, and that incongruent traits and beliefs relate to higher depressive symptomatology and perceived stress, but do not relate to life satisfaction.
Sex Differences in Depression

Pages : 280
Book Description
Women are twice as likely as men to experience protracted sadness, apathy, low self-esteem, and other symptoms of depression. How can we account for this sex difference? Several explanations have been proposed, some dating back many years. This book critically examines the evidence for each explanation in an attempt to discover what we do and do not know about sex differences in depression. It is a landmark review of the historical, theoretical and empirical approaches to sex differences in depression. Nolen-Hoeksema presents a fresh historical review, makes theoretical criticisms and offers clear and challenging avenues for future research and practical applications.
The Effect of Gender Role Orientation on Coping with Depression

Pages : 104
Book Description
Gender and culture are the foundations of individual and social identity, which influence the environment at all levels of health care. According to historical and cultural patterns, people learn to relate to their bodies. This situation reveals contrasts in the way bodily functions, and thus health and illness, are conceptualized, used, and valued. In fact, a person's sexuality covers a particularly conflictive field, as it focuses on aspects defined as basic, constructed according to sociocultural concepts, and, therefore, modifiable. Therefore, health promotion understood as a proposal for empowering individuals, families, and communities about their perception of their life and health within their cultural, ethnic, religious, and care context, and influenced by their state of health, becomes important. To this end, we propose the adoption of transdisciplinary approaches that prioritize relational analysis studies in the context of health scenarios for the development of public policies framed in the culture of care, its evolution, economy, and management, highlighting the gender perspective.

Depression and the Social Environment
Author: Philippe CappeliezPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773509603
Category : Depression, Mental
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
While depression has been the subject of much research in the last decade, far too little attention has been paid to the influence of the social environment on depression and on mental health generally. This lack has become more conspicuous since the Canadian federal government began requiring that policy makers make social environment a primary consideration when designing new mental health programs.
Women and Mental Disorders
Author: Paula K. Lundberg-LovePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313393206
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 975
Book Description
For too long, studies lumped women's mental health with that of men, notwithstanding profound differences. This groundbreaking work decisively addresses that oversight as a team of expert scholars and therapists spotlights common female mental disorders, explores the causes, and explains available therapies. In the last two decades, feminist therapists and scholars have called for new models of mental health that value women and femininity. To that end, the four-volume Women and Mental Disorders brings together recent research and theory to explore its subject from a feminist perspective. This exhaustive set treats every aspect of women's mental health, from diagnoses to treatment. Underlying the entire work is an awareness of varying cultural definitions of mental health and the importance of understanding a woman's cultural background if treatment is to be respectful and successful. Special attention is also paid to women who have been victims of violence, whether in intimate relationships, the workplace, or at school, and to how these experiences impact mental and physical health, self-concept, interpersonal relationships, and career development. Approaches to treating women with eating disorders, agoraphobia, anxiety and depression, PTSD, and personality disorders are covered as well. Finally, the set provides resources to help readers address their own needs or those of friends and family.
