reply to yang et al gender is not a confounding factor of our result
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2012Co-Authors: Hidehiko Takahashi, Harumasa Takano, Takashi Ideno, Yuki Tamari, Kazuhisa Takemura, Tetsuya SuharaAbstract:Yang et al (1) argue that sex and age are confounding factors in our study (2). However, by definition, they actually are not. Their sex difference argument does not have any influence on our result from a young Japanese male Sample. In our article, we were interested in individual differences in reaction to unfairness observed in the ultimatum game. We were fully aware that sex and age are major factors to account for many brain functions and their disorders (3, 4). We also understand that sex difference in personalities is a major research topic. Therefore, we focused on young male volunteers. In addition, to prevent young Females from unnecessary radiation exposure, we recruited only male volunteers as a first step. Sex difference was already addressed as a limitation. Needless to say, it is highly recommended to test this if a similar result could be observed in a Female Sample as well.

Trauma exposure and stress-related disorders in a large, urban, predominantly African-American, Female Sample
Archives of Women's Mental Health, 2021Co-Authors: Rachel L. Gluck, Georgina E. Hartzell, Hayley D. Dixon, Vasiliki Michopoulos, Abigail Powers, Jennifer S. Stevens, Negar Fani, Sierra Carter, Ann C. Schwartz, Tanja JovanovicAbstract:The current study investigated the relationship between trauma exposure and psychopathology in a Sample of predominately African-American women of low socioeconomic status (SES). Women ( N = 7430) were recruited from medical clinics at two large public hospitals in Atlanta, GA, from 2005 to 2017. Women were assessed for sociodemographics, life-course trauma burden, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) utilizing self-report and structured clinical interview assessments. The effects of trauma exposure on current and lifetime PTSD and MDD were examined. Ninety-one percent of women reported trauma exposure, 83% reported a monthly household income of less than $2000, and 41% reported a history of arrest. Regarding psychiatric diagnoses, 30.8% met the criteria for probable MDD, and 32.3% met the criteria for probable PTSD. History of childhood abuse and total lifetime trauma significantly increased PTSD and depressive symptoms with additional incremental trauma exposure. PTSD and depressive symptom scores (95% CI) increased from 5.5 (5.0–6.1) and 8.4 (7.9–9.0) in the no trauma group to 20.8 (20.1–21.5) and 20.4 (19.7–21.2), respectively, in those exposed to four or more types of trauma. These results show high rates of adult and childhood trauma exposure, PTSD, MDD, and an additive effect of lifetime trauma exposure on the development of PTSD and MDD in a Sample of low SES African-American women. These findings bring light to the high psychiatric symptom burden in this population and call for increased availability of interventions to address symptoms as well as policies aimed at reducing trauma exposure across the lifespan.

measurement invariance of the perceived stress scale and latent mean differences across gender and time
Stress and Health, 2013Co-Authors: Celestina Barbosaleiker, Marylynne Kostick, Sterling Mcpherson, Virginia Roper, Trynke Hoekstra, Bruce R WrightAbstract:Measurement invariance of the 2-factor model of the Perceived Stress Scale - 10-item version (Cohen & Williamson, 1988) was tested across men and women at two time points and in the combined total Sample over a 2-year time frame (n = 871). Measurement invariance results indicated that the scale measured the latent factors, stress and counter-stress, equivalently in men and women and over time. With measurement invariance demonstrated, differences in latent means were tested. Results indicated that men had lower levels of frequencies of stressors, and at one time point, higher levels of counter-stress, when compared with women. When examining change in frequencies of stressors and counter-stress over 2 years with the combined male and Female Sample, stressors remained stable, yet counter-stress increased over time. These findings may aid in the interpretation of results when examining stressors and counter-stress in clinical Samples where one would expect stress to increase, whereas positive psychological states decrease.

Overparenting and Perfectionistic Concerns Predict Academic Entitlement in Young Adults
Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2020Co-Authors: Kathryn L. Fletcher, Eric E. Pierson, Kristie L. Speirs Neumeister, W. Holmes FinchAbstract:Objectives The current study examined the relationships among overparenting, personality, and academic attitudes to better understand the factors related to students’ academic entitlement and academic dishonesty. Methods Three hundred and forty-three undergraduate students, from a mostly White and Female Sample, completed questionnaires online to measure the extent to which students felt that other people expected perfect performance from them (i.e., socially prescribed perfectionism), the extent to which parents used overparenting practices, a broad personality measure, and their attitudes about academic dishonesty and entitlement. Results The relationship between overparenting and academic entitlement as mediated through socially prescribed perfectionism was statistically significant. This mediated relationship was moderated by neuroticism with a stronger positive relationship between overparenting and academic entitlement for individuals with higher levels of neuroticism. Only gender was significantly related to academic dishonesty. Conclusions Students with overbearing parents and anxious personality traits are at increased risk of alienating professors with entitled attitudes and behaviors. Our results may help higher education administrators and professors to more fully understand the dynamics underlying students’ academic entitlement.

Creativity and implementations of new ideas
International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship, 2013Co-Authors: Lene Foss, Kristin Woll, Mikko MoilanenAbstract:Purpose – This paper uses a combination of organisation theory, gender theory and the work environment to study the generation and implementation of new ideas in organisations. How do employees' perceptions of organisational structure and the work environment affect idea generation and implementation, and how does gender moderate this relationship? Design/methodology/approach – The study develops and tests a structural equation model using data from a survey of a large Norwegian energy corporation. Survey items are measured using five-point scales and show good internal consistency levels. Exploratory factor analyses are used to ensure internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analyses are used to assess the fit of the model. Convergent and discriminant validity tests are also performed. Common method bias and invariance are evaluated across the Female and male Samples. Findings – The theoretical model had a better fit for the male Sample than the Female Sample, indicating that men's innovations were ...
