中国东部地区青年女性人体体型分类

为寻得合理便捷的人体体型分类方法,采用三维扫描系统对年龄为20~35岁的407名中国东部地区青年女性进行人体数据获取,运用逆向工程软件对每个样本测量66项数据。通过因子分析提取与人体体型相关的主成份,通过相关性分析等方法从人体体型主成份中提取人体特征变量,通过分层法聚类分析对人体体型进行分类。研究得出:从与人体体型相关的7个主成分中提取特征变量为乳下围扁平率、身腰比、胸腰差、臀腰差;第1层聚类以乳下围扁平率作为特征变量,第2层聚类以身腰比、胸腰差、臀腰差作为特征变量;最终将人体体型分为14类。经检验,所得体型间存在显著性差异,分类结果合理有效。     

Homeless women,material objects and home (un)making

Abstract

There is a growing body of literature that attests that self-articulation is carried out through the building, decorating and arranging of home. This, for the most part, has tended to overly focus on inhabitants of private, secure and permanent housing. Addressing a gap in literature and theory, this article explores the possibilities of homemaking for the growing sections of society in insecure housing or homelessness situations—for whom housing is neither stable, secure nor a necessarily positive entity. It does so by drawing on in-depth interviews and participant-produced photographs from women accessing homelessness services in the North of England. Of interest here is how homeless women relate to, engage with and use material culture (objects, possessions and the physical dwelling) to simultaneously make and unmake home. The article subsequently offers a new empirical focus for material culture studies which has so far largely neglected the experiences of marginalized groups.

Empirical literary research on women and readers

Both traditional and computerized scholars face problems when they attempt empirical research on women writers and women readers using currently available computational tools. This essay discusses some factors that have inhibited empirical research; it develops its examples from work in progress on 18th century English poetry and on reader responses. A number of large linguistic and text databases are almost useless for research on women writers because works by women are either not included or represented by easily accessible, rather than editorially clean, texts. Traditional and contemporary reader response studies are also insufficiently empirical for reasons of sexual bias or flaws in research design.Rosanne G.

A Qualitative Examination of Black College Women's Beliefs About Abuse in Relationships.

Do you wonder how young Black women view violence in dating relationships? In this qualitative study, the authors analyzed the responses of 64 Black college women to open-ended survey questions about abusive relationships. Participants shared their definitions of abuse, beliefs about what causes abuse, experiences of abuse, and opinions about offenders. The results revealed risk factors and sources of support for participants, which can be used to inform practitioners' interventions and prevention strategies. Practical implications for practitioners, future directions for research, and limitations of the study are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Reducing conduct problems among children of battered women.

This study was an experimental evaluation of an intervention designed to reduce conduct problems among children of battered women. Participants were 36 families (mothers and children) in which the mother had sought shelter because of relationship violence and had at least 1 child (4-9 years old) with clinical levels of conduct problems. The intervention consisted of 2 primary components: (a) providing instrumental and emotional support and (b) teaching child management skills to mothers. Families were randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or the existing services comparison condition and were assessed on 5 occasions over 16 months after shelter departure. Compared with families receiving existing services, children in the intervention condition improved at a faster rate, the proportion of children displaying clinical levels of conduct problems was greatly diminished, and mothers displayed greater improvements in child management skills.

Social class privilege and adolescent women’s perceived career options.

This qualitative study examined the perceived career options of 10 White adolescent young women who experienced social class privilege in their families of origin. The model of contextual privilege and career selection for adolescent White women emerged from the data, and it describes how social class privilege, gender, achievement expectations, experiences, and verbal messages may influence perceived occupational possibilities. The model includes 4 categorical groups: (a) Social Class Identity and Perceptions, (b) Shared Perceptions of Achievement and Expectations, (c) Exposure, and (d) Evaluating Career Options. The findings suggest that social class privilege contributes to the perception of numerous career options. Yet it also contributes to a process wherein participants unintentionally limit their career aspirations to a very narrow range of options.

Feminism, Androgyny, and Anxiety.

The present study examined the relationship of active participation in the feminist movement to measures of psychological androgyny and manifest anxiety. It was expected that feminists would exhibit the most androgynous and least sex-typed self-concepts as well as the most anxiety. Subjects were 100 members of feminist organizations, 100 undergraduate university women, 200 working women, and 80 nonworking housewives. Subjects completed the Taylor (1953) Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS) and Bem's (1974) Sex Role Inventory (BSRI). Feminists significantly exceeded the working women, university women, and housewives on the BSRI Androgyny scale, F(3, 476) = 10.09, p
