motivation of australian white collar construction employees a Gender Issue
Engineering Construction and Architectural Management, 2001Co-Authors: Guinevere Gilbert, Derek H T WalkerAbstract:As a result of sustained Gender imbalance in the construction industry, research continues in the fields of attraction and retention of female employees. In Melbourne, Australia, an investigative survey was carried out to evaluate the relationship between motivation at work and Gender. The survey also aimed to ascertain if professional men and women in the construction industry were motivated and demotivated by the same variables. The research concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in total motivation and demotivation levels between male and female employees. There were, however, significant differences with regard to the perceived attractiveness and unattractiveness of certain work place and job characteristics. Some characteristics were not Gender discriminatory in their unattractiveness. Evidence presented in this paper can lead to a useful re‐appraisal of how the construction industry can create a more attractive workplace environment that entices more employees of either Gender to remain in the industry.

is sexism a Gender Issue a motivated social cognition perspective on men s and women s sexist attitudes toward own and other Gender
European Journal of Personality, 2012Co-Authors: Arne Roets, Alain Van Hiel, Kristof DhontAbstract:The present research investigated the antecedents of ambivalent sexism (i.e., hostile and benevolent forms) in both men and women toward own and other Gender. In two heterogeneous adult samples (Study 1: N = 179 and Study 2: N = 222), it was revealed that Gender itself was only a minor predictor of sexist attitudes compared with the substantial impact of individual differences in general motivated cognition (i.e., need for closure). Analyses further showed that the relationship between need for closure and sexism was mediated by social attitudes (i.e., right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation), which were differently related to benevolent and hostile forms of sexism. In the discussion, it is argued that sexism primarily stems from individual differences in motivated cognitive style, which relates to peoples' perspective on the social world, rather than from group differences between men and women.

Trajectories of Development and Socialization of Trans Brazilian Youth Through Self-Portraits.
Frontiers in psychology, 2020Co-Authors: Cerqueira-santos, Mariana Valadares Macêdo Santana, Mozer De Miranda RamosAbstract:The aim of this research was to explore the meanings of childhood memory established by young people who identify themselves as trans. In a chauvinistic country such as Brazil, sexual socialization of non-cisGender youth is beset by unique challenges, such as discrimination and violence. This study was based on the proposal of a self-portrait method as a content trigger in interviews with three trans young women who reported their life stories. We analyzed data using the oral story technique, through which the described themes came up. The results presented developmental narratives related to Gender Issue from childhood, which reflected on the experience on youth. Reports of discrimination based on the image of others (family, school, and community) about the Gender development of the participants and their relationship with their bodies stand out. We see the importance of reflecting on life history memories in trans identity in order to give meaning to this experience. The influence of heteronormative and sexist Brazilian culture is noticed in the participants' reports.
