Setting the Stage 2nd edition Part I. Setting the Stage Module 1: Foundations of A Psychology of Gender 1-1 2nd edition Module 1: Foundations of A Psychology of Gender Module Overview In our first module, we will lay the foundation for the rest of the book by contrasting gender with the concepts of sex and sexual orientation and differentiate health and wellness. We will discuss dimensions of gender and why gender congruence is important, and then move to a listing of terms important to the study of gender. With this done, we will briefly overview movements specific to women (i.e. feminism) and men and then outline some of the professional societies and journals committed to studying gender issues. Module Outline 1.1. Defining Terms 1.2. Movements Linked to Gender 1.3. Connecting with Other Psychologists of Gender Module Learning Outcomes • Contrast gender with sex and sexual orientation and describe the key components of gender. • Describe movements geared to women and men. • Identify professional societies and journals committed to the study of gender issues. 1-2 2nd edition 1.1. Defining Terms Section Learning Objectives • Define psychology. • Contrast health and wellness. • Differentiate sex and gender. • List the dimensions of gender. • Clarify the importance of gender congruence. • Differentiate gender and sexual orientation. • Define key terms in relation to the language of gender. 1.1.1. What is Psychology? Welcome to your course on the psychology of gender which this book supports. Of course, you may be expecting a definition of gender in this module and we will definitely provide one. But since some students taking this class are not psychology majors or minors, and most of you had your introductory class some time ago, we want to ensure you have a solid foundation to build on. So, to get us started we need to understand what psychology is. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Yes, that is correct. Psychology is scientific. Psychology utilizes the same scientific process and methods practiced by disciplines such as biology and chemistry. We will discuss this in more detail in Module 2 so please just keep this in the back of your mind for now. Second, it is the study of behavior and mental processes. Psychology desires to not only understand why people engage in the behavior that they do, but also how. What is going on in the brain to control the movement of our arms 1-3 2nd edition and legs when running downfield to catch the game winning touchdown? What affects the words we choose to say when madly in love? How do we interpret an event as benign or a threat when a loud sound is heard? What makes an individual view another group in less than favorable terms? Such prejudicial or discriminatory behavior could be directed at a person due to their gender or sexual orientation. These are just a few of the questions that we ask as psychologists and our focus in this book is on the psychology of gender. 1.1.2. What is Health and Wellness? As we discuss the psychology of gender, we will cover numerous topics that affect a person’s health and wellness. So, it seems logical that we should explain what these terms mean. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines wellness as “being in good physical and mental health.” They add, “Remember that wellness is not the absence of illness or stress. You can still strive for wellness even if you are experiencing these challenges in your life.” Most people see wellness as just focused on the physical or mental. These are part of the picture, but definitely not the whole picture. SAMHSA proposes eight dimensions of wellness as follows (this information is directly from their website): • Physical – Recognizing the need for physical activity, healthy foods, and sleep • Emotional – Coping effectively with life and creating satisfying relationships • Environmental—Good health by occupying pleasant, stimulating environments that support well-being • Financial—Satisfaction with current and future financial situations 1-4 2nd edition • Intellectual—Recognizing creative abilities and finding ways to expand knowledge and skills • Occupational—Personal satisfaction and enrichment from one’s work • Social— Developing a sense of connection, belonging, and a well-developed support system • Spiritual— Expanding a sense of purpose and meaning in life As we tackle the content of the remaining modules, consider the various dimensions of wellness that are affected by topics related to gender such as stereotypes, identity formation, aggression, relationships, health, sexuality, development, mental disorders, and physiology. As you will see, all eight are involved at different times. Source: https://www.samhsa.gov/wellness-initiative/eight-dimensions-wellness 1.1.3. What is a Psychology of Gender? Alright. Now to the business at hand – defining what gender is. Before we can do that, we have to understand what the term sex means. But why? Aren’t they the same thing? Though typically considered synonyms by many, sex and gender have distinct meanings that become important when collecting data and engaging in research. First, sex refers to the biological aspects of a person due to their anatomy. This includes the individual’s hormones, chromosomes, body parts such as the sexual organs, and how they all interact. When we say sex, we are generally describing whether the person is assigned male or female at birth. In contrast, gender is socially constructed (presumed after a sex is assigned) and leads to labels such as masculinity or femininity and their related behaviors. People may declare 1-5 2nd edition themselves to be a man or woman, as having no gender, or falling on a continuum somewhere between man and woman. How so? According to genderspectrum.org, gender results from the complex interrelationship of three dimensions – body, identity, and social. First, body, concerns our physical body, how we experience it, how society genders bodies, and the way in which others interact with us based on our body. The website states, “Bodies themselves are also gendered in the context of cultural expectations. Masculinity and femininity are equated with certain physical attributes, labeling us as more or less a man/woman based on the degree to which those attributes are present. This gendering of our bodies affects how we feel about ourselves and how others perceive and interact with us.” Next is gender identity or our internal perception and expression of who we are as a person. It includes naming our gender, though this gender category may not match the sex we are assigned at birth. Gender identities can take on several forms from the traditional binary man- woman, to non-binary such as genderqueer or genderfluid, and ungendered or agender (i.e. genderless). Though gaining an understanding of what gender we are occurs by age four, naming it is complex and can evolve over time. As genderspectrum.org says, “Because we are provided with limited language for gender, it may take a person quite some time to discover, or create, the language that best communicates their internal experience. Likewise, as language evolves, a person’s name for their gender may also evolve. This does not mean their gender has changed, but rather that the words for it are shifting.” Finally, we have a social gender or the manner in which we present our gender in the world, but also how other people, society, and culture affect our concept of gender. In terms of the former, we communicate our gender through our clothes, hairstyles, and behavior called gender expression. In terms of the latter, children are socialized as to what gender means from 1-6 2nd edition the day they are born and through toys, colors, and clothes. Who does this socialization? Anyone outside the child can, including parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers, the media, religious figures, friends, and the community. Generally, the binary male-female view of gender is communicated for which there are specific gender expectations and roles. According to genderspectrum.org, “Kids who don’t express themselves along binary gender lines are often rendered invisible or steered into a more binary gender presentation. Pressures to conform at home, mistreatment by peers in school, and condemnation by the broader society are just some of the struggles facing a child whose expression does not fall in line with the binary gender system.” The good news is that gender norms do change over time, such as our culture’s acceptance of men wearing earrings and women getting tattoos.

Almaraz People make quick work of forming a variety of impressions of one another based on minimal information. Recent work has shown that people are able to make judgments of others’ Apparent Sociosexual Orientation (ASO) – an estimation of how interested another person is in uncommitted sexual activity – based on facial information alone. In the present work, I used three studies to expand the understanding of this poorly understood facial judgment by investigating the dimensionality of ASO (Study 1), the facial predictors of ASO (Study 2), and the consequences of these ASO judgments on men’s hostility and benevolence towards women (Study 3). In Study 1, I showed that men’s judgments of women’s Apparent Sociosexual Orientation were organized into judgments of women’s appearance of unrestricted attitudes and desires (Intrapersonal ASO) and their appearance of unrestricted behaviors (Behavioral ASO). Study 2 revealed that more attractive and more dominant appearing women were perceived as more sexually unrestricted. In Study 3, I found that women who appeared to engage in more unrestricted behavior were subjected to increased benevolent sexism, though this effect was primarily driven by unrestricted appearing women’s attractiveness. However, women who appeared to have sexually unrestricted attitudes and desires were subjected to increased hostility, even when controlling for the effects of the facial correlates found in Study 2.

Taking popular film as a form of public pedagogy, the project implicates unquestioned structures of patriarchal control in shaping the development and depiction of robotic bodies. The project was spurred from a decline in critical discourse surrounding technology’s potential to upset binaried gender constructions, and the increasingly simplified depictions of female-shaped robots (gynoids) as proxies for actual women. By critically engaging assumptions of gender when applied to technology, the project recontextualizes fundamental theories in contemporary popular film. iv Aaron Misener—MA Thesis—English—McMaster University Acknowledgements: This project has seen the birth of my daughter, and the death of my mother.

(in press). The revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory. In T. D. Fisher, C. M. Davis, W. L. Yarber & S. L. Davis (Eds.): Handbook of sexuality- related measures (3 rd Ed.). Taylor & Francis. Revised Sociosexual Orientation Inventory 2 Purpose : The construct of sociosexuality or sociosexual orientation captures individual differences in the tendency to have casual, uncommitted sexual relationships. The term was introduced by Alfred Kinsey, who used it to describe the individual differences in sexual permissiveness and promiscuity that he found in his ground- breaking survey studies on sexual behavior (Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin, 1948; Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, & Gebhard, 1953). The amount of scientific research on sociosexuality increased markedly when Simpson and Gangestad (1991) published the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory (SOI), a 7-item self-report questionnaire that assesses sociosexual orientations along a single dimension from “restricted” (indicating a tendency to have sex exclusively in emotionally close and committed relationships) to “unrestricted” (indicating a tendency for sexual relationships with low commitment and investment, often after short periods of acquaintance and with changing partners). On average, men tend to be more unrestricted than women in their sociosexual orientations, though there are also large individual differences within both sexes (Schmitt, 2005).

    THESIS ANXIETIES AND ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: DISASSEMBLING THE POP CULTURE GYNOID Submitted by Carly Fabian Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Katie L. Gibson Kit Hughes Kristina Quynn Copyright by Carly Leilani Fabian 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT ANXIETIES AND ARTIFICIAL WOMEN: DISASSEMBLING THE POP CULTURE GYNOID This thesis analyzes the cultural meanings of the feminine-presenting robot, or gynoid, in three popular sci-fi texts: The Stepford Wives (1975), Ex Machina (2013), and Westworld (2017). Centralizing a critical feminist rhetorical approach, this thesis outlines the symbolic meaning of gynoids as representing cultural anxieties about women and technology historically and in each case study. This thesis draws from rhetorical analyses of media, sci-fi studies, and previously articulated meanings of the gynoid in order to discern how each text interacts with the gendered and technological concerns it presents. The author assesses how the text equips—or fails to equip—the public audience with motives for addressing those concerns. Prior to analysis, each chapter synthesizes popular and scholarly criticisms of the film or series and interacts with their temporal contexts. Each chapter unearths a unique interaction with the meanings of gynoid: The Stepford Wives performs necrophilic fetishism to alleviate anxieties about the Women’s Liberation Movement; Ex Machina redirects technological anxieties towards the surveilling practices of tech industries, simultaneously punishing exploitive masculine fantasies; Westworld utilizes fantasies and anxieties cyclically in order to maximize its serial potential and appeal to impulses of its viewership, ultimately prescribing a rhetorical placebo.

Kauth, (Ed.), Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality, Haworth Press, Binghamton, NY, 2006, 395 pp., $50.00 (softbound), $130.00 (hardbound) Reviewed by David Puts, Ph.D. Department of Anthropology, 424 Carpenter Building, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802. Email: [email protected] In the quarter century since Donald Symons (1979) wrote The Evolution of Human Sexuality, research in this area has flourished. Michael Kauth’s edited volume Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality (co-published as Volume 18, Numbers 2/3 and 4 2006 of the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality) is therefore a welcome addition. Kauth assembles researchers in diverse areas of human sexuality, including heterosexual mate choice, sexual arousal and olfactory preferences, but the focus is heavily upon the evolution and development of homosexuality, with five of the book’s ten chapters centering on this topic. Given that only 2-3% of men and 1-2% of women report predominantly homosexual preferences, this focus may seem disproportionate. However, the volume is intended not to cover all aspects of human sexuality but to serve as a springboard for future research, a mission that it will undoubtedly accomplish. The scholarship in the Handbook is variable but generally good. The content is often heavy on speculation and light on evidence, which would be less concerning if authors acknowledged this more openly. Instead, the chapters of the Handbook often reify “facts” that are still quite theoretical—for example, Kauth’s statement that “physical symmetry and extravagant sexual ornamentation are ‘honest’ signals of health and genetic quality” (p.

  • Satisfaction Guaranteed™ the Pleasure Bot, the Gynoid, The
    Satisfaction Guaranteed™ The Pleasure Bot, the Gynoid, the Electric-Gigolo, or my personal favorite the Romeo Droid are just some of Science Fiction's contributions to the development of the android as sex worker. Notably (and as any Sci-fi aficionado would remind us) such technological foresight is often a precursor to our own - not too distant future. It will therefore come as no surprise that the development of artificial intelligence and virtual reality are considered to be the missing link within the sex industry and the manufacture of technologically-enhanced products and experiences. Similarly, many esteemed futurologists are predicting that by 2050 (not 2049) artificial intelligence will have become so integrated within society that it will be commonplace for humans to have sex with robots… Now scrub that image out of your head and let’s remind ourselves that all technology (if we listen to Charlie Brooker) should come with a warning sign. Sexnology (that’s Sex + Technology) is probably pretty high up there on the cautionary list, but whether we like it or not people ‘The robots are coming’ – no pun intended! Actually the robots (those of a sexual nature) have already arrived, although calling them robots may be a little premature. Especially when considering how film has created expectations of human resemblance, levels of functionality and in this context modes of interaction. The pursuit of creating in our own image has historically unearthed many underlying questions in both fiction and reality about what it means to be human. During such times, moral implications may surface although history also tells us that human traits such as the desire for power and control often subsume any humane/humanoid considerations.

  • Collective Memory and the Constructio

Here sound is unglued from such obligations, until it eludes all social responsibility, thereby accentuating its unreality principle. (Eshun 1998: -41) When we listen to music in a non-live setting, we do so via some form of audio reproduction technology. To most listeners, the significant part about the technology is not the technology itself but the data (music) it stores and reverberates into our ears (Sofia 2000). Most of these listeners have memories tied to their favourite songs (DeNora 2000) but if the music is at the centre of the history of a people, can the songs themselves be seen as a form of recollection? In this paper, I suggest that sound reproduction technology can be read as a storage of memories in the context of Black American popular music. I will turn my attention to the critical potential of Afrofuturist narratives in the field of memory- technology in order to focus on how collective memory is performed as Afrofuturist technology in Black American popular music, specifically in the music of Janelle Monáe. At play in the theoretical backdrop of this article are two key concepts: Signifyin(g) and collective memory, the first of which I will describe in simplified terms, while the latter warrants a more thorough discussion.

French , Emma E. Altgelt, and Andrea L. Meltzer Department of Psychology, Florida State University Abstract Most people will get married, and maintaining a quality marriage is critical to well-being. Nevertheless, many intimates experience declines in marital satisfaction, and a substantial proportion of marriages dissolve. Drawing from functional perspectives of human mating, we argue that one source of marital discord and dissolution is that people vary in their motivations to pursue uncommitted sex—that is, sociosexuality. We examined this possibility using data from two independent longitudinal studies of 204 newlywed couples and used actor–partner interdependence growth- curve modeling. Results demonstrated that relatively unrestricted (vs. restricted) sociosexuality was associated with an increased probability of relationship dissolution through declines in marital satisfaction over time. Additional exploratory analyses provided preliminary evidence suggesting that frequent sex, high sexual satisfaction, and low stress weaken this association. These primary findings suggest that strong motives to pursue uncommitted sex may interfere with marital success, and the latter findings suggest potential buffers for these negative outcomes.

Additional availability after exams will be announced. Class Time: MW 13:00-14:15 Classroom: B660 Course Description: In this class, we will examine the phenomenon of sexual orientation in an evidence-based manner. In doing so, we will employ broad inter-disciplinary and comparative perspectives. The readings reflect this approach and, as such, are highly eclectic. Some of the questions we will address in this class include: What is sexual orientation? What factors influence the development of sexual orientation identity? How is same-sex sexuality expressed in different cultures? How do different cultures react to same-sex sexuality? How prevalent are different sexual orientation? Do same-sex attracted individuals occur in all cultures? Is sexual - 1 - orientation an isolated trait or does it reliably co-occur with other characteristics? How are male and female patterns of sexual attraction and arousal expressed? Is homosexuality a recent invention? Can sexual orientation be learned and unlearned? Do biological factors influence homosexuality? Required Readings: For many of the classes, I assign sections from the following peer review article: Bailey, M.J., Vasey, P.L., Diamond, L., Breedlove, M., Vilain, E. & Epprecht, M. (2016).
