摘要:

The hypothesis that clinicians' perceptions of psychological maladjustment are related to the deviation of symptoms from prevailing gender role stereotypes was explored. Case history descriptions were sent to a random sample of practicing psychologists. These clinicians viewed female patients with "masculine" symptoms (e.g., alcoholism or antisocial behavior) as more psychologically disturbed than males with the same symptoms; they also perceived male patients with "feminine" symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety) as more psychologically disturbed than their female counterparts. Significant main effects for psychologists' sex were found for both the perceived usefulness of drug treatment and prognostic outlook ratings.

摘要:

The suicide notes of females and males were compared for the presence of 50 classifications (protocol sentences) regarding twelve discrete psychological variables: conscious intention, perturbation, lethality, relations, self-cognitions, truncated cognitions, cognitions regarding an after life, the experience of trauma, fear of insanity, egression, early life stresses, and serial instability. Independent judges noted the incidence of contents corresponding to the protocol sentences in 40 suicide notes, twenty notes for each sex controlled for age. NO sex differences were noted Converging data from Shneidman (1971) and Tomlinson-Keasey, Warren and Elliot (1986) on suicide in gifted women and men was presented to support this negative finding. Although further studies are warranted, it may well be that there are no sex differences on many critical (genotypic) psychological variables in suicide notes and, by implication, suicide.

摘要:

The impact of employment on the well-being of women is examined using a theoretical framework which is based on the premise that social roles and qualities of roles affect well-being through their imoact on self-esteem and social support. The nature and magnitude of the effects of employment on well-being are ex- pected to vary according to the characteristics of employment. Two aspects of the nature of work are examined, autonomy aid complexity. Data are based on a probability sample of adult employed women (N = 534). Results indicate that both dimensions of employ- ment characteristics have positive effects on social supp ort. Social support and employment characteristics also directly affect well- being.

摘要:

Three hundred eight nursing students were classified into three perimenstrual severity groups based on their responses to the Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire, disregarding the number of symptoms reported. The prevalence of severe perimenstrual symptoms was 44% for strong symptoms and 18% for acute symptoms. Severity was significantly related to perimenstrual absence and to health care seeking for menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and for gynecological disorders unrelated to menstruation. Severity was not significantly related to non-gynecological absence or health care seeking for non-gynecological disorders. Severe menstrual symptoms, particularly dysmenorrhea, had more of an effect on absenteeism and health care seeking than severe premenstrual symptoms.

摘要:

This paper reports information gained from in-depth structured interviews of 27 women who had undergone mastectomy regarding their experiences from time of detection of the breast lump until complete recovery was achieved. Special emphasis was placed on the emotional/psychological aspects of the mastectomy experience. Although the experience was different for all of the women interviewed, some common elements emerged. Nearly all of the women discovered the breast lump themselves. Most of them recalled the reactions of significant others in their environment, including their physician, as supportive, although nearly half of them did not feel that they had been adequately prepared by health care professionals for what to expect from the mastectomy. They overwhelmingly supported the idea of a coordinated program for post-mastectomy patients to ensure that the needs of future patients are met.

摘要:

In the rapidly changing society of the late nineteenth century, American medical theory and practice functioned as a social force to shape and limit the ways in which females viewed their physical potential. This paper analyzes the social and physical expectations which were elaborated for and experienced by middleclass urban females throughout their life span, identifies the kinds of exercise prescriptions which were promoted by doctors to assist women in fulfilling these expectations at different life stages and points out the underlying significance of these prescriptions in defining and perpetuating notions of females' limited physical capabilities. For late nineteenth century women, two significant influences upon their body behavior were: the physical realities of sickness and early death which modified, or curtailed female energy and physical capacity; and the discursive practices of medical experts and scientists concerning the identification and etiology of female ill-health and disease and their agreed upon therapies for assisting women to maintain, or regain their health. An understanding of the disease model which informed medical prescriptions for exercise explains, in part, why physicians concentrated their efforts upon women's reproductive capacity and lifestyle habits rather than upon the widespread and devastating diseases that look such a toll upon women before the turn of the twentieth century.
