Study Notes
Basic Definitions
- Gender: one of two sexes (male or female), especially when considering social and cultural differences, rather than biological. It can also refer to a range of identities that don't fit traditional male/female categories.
- Sex: one of two main categories (male or female) used to divide humans and most other living things based on their reproductive functions.
- Sex vs. Gender: Sex is biological, gender is social/cultural. Sex is about your body, gender is about who you feel yourself to be, and sexual orientation is about attraction to others.
Research Methodologies
- Quantitative Analysis: Emphasizes objectivity and control. Uses quantitative measures to compare participant responses to a standard.
- Qualitative Analysis: Emphasizes subjective procedures, focusing on women's own experiences and attempting to capture each participant's unique perspective.
Sexism
- Sexism (or Sex Bias): Discrimination or bias against people based on their gender.
Types of Sexism
-
Modern Sexism (Neosexism): Subtle prejudiced beliefs about women.
-
Hostile Sexism: Negative and adversarial attitudes toward women, often implying that women seek to control men through sexuality or feminism.
-
Benevolent Sexism: Believes women should be honored and idealized, but these ideals are restrictive and limit their opportunities.
Hypotheses and Theories
- Hypothesis: A proposed explanation that can be tested to explain phenomena.
- Theory: The result of testing a hypothesis, which ultimately modifies or replaces the hypothesis.
Research Designs
-
Naturalistic Observation: Observing subjects' behaviors in their natural environment without intervention.
-
Archival Analysis: Analyzing existing data sources like census records, etc.
-
Surveys: Collecting data on attitudes and behaviors by asking participants.
-
Experiments: A scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a fact.
-
Quasi-Experiments: Research studies that don't use random assignment. Participants are already placed in groups or conditions. Examples include studies of sex differences, which cannot be randomly assigned.
Empirical Process
- Steps of experimental design:
- Theoretical Model
- Formulate a Question
- Design Research
- Collect Data
- Analyze Data Statistically
- Interpret Results
- Publish Results.
- Results are incorporated into the existing scientific knowledge and if needed, the study goes back to the beginning if mistakes are found
Bias in Research
- Bias in theory: The initial assumptions of the research can heavily influence the outcomes of the study.
- Bias in design: How the research is actually conducted can also be biased.
- Bias in Data Collection: How data is gathered.
- Bias in Interpretation: Biased interpretations of the results.
- Bias in Publishing: Biased publication of findings.
- Bias against female scientists: Discrimination against female scientists in the research process.
Other Important Concepts
- Female Deficit Interpretation: Evaluating women as inferior or weaker based on findings of research.
- Experimenter Effects: When experimenter characteristics inadvertently influence participant behavior.
- Observer Effects: When expectations affect observation and recording of data.
- Overgeneralization: The error of assuming that the results from a study of one particular group/gender apply to others without any modifications or considerations.
- Phallocentric: Male-centered or specifically, penis-centered.
