Gatekeeping Transactions
This research explored gatekeeping transactions of professional women in selected occupational fields. Subjects were asked to keep daily records on strategies they used to gain needed resources from other people in their workplace. Characteristics of gatekeeping transactions were studied as potential stressors that might affect specific indicators of mental health. Results suggest that differences in levels of job satisfaction and substance use c…

Dual-Career Families in Perspective
Social Policy and the Dual-Career Family
Although most counselors who work with dual-career families are not involved in formal policy analysis and development, their clients are inevitably affected by a broad array of social policies. Values analysis is presented as a tool for counselors to explore the impact of policies on the family. We argue that predominant social values—independence of families, minimal government intervention, separation of home and workplace, and the sex-typed d…
Tears and Weeping Among Professional Women
Crying among adult professional women is a phenomenon experienced far more often than it is studied or publicly discussed. Guided by Sherif's (1982) theoretical work on gender identity, socialization, reference groups, and power, the authors explore several factors central to the topic. Among them are: the origins of conflict between women's experience of emotional expression and “public” tears; gender-related differences in crying and responses …

Measuring desire for control of health care processes
We conducted three known-groups studies to obtain discriminant validity information among potential self-report measures of the construct desire for control over health care processes. In the first study we looked at types of preparation for childbirth; in Studies 2 and 3 we investigated choice of a place in which to die and signing a Living Will. With none of the measures could we adequately distinguish those who had signed a Living Will (or int…

Licensed Practical Nurses' Sex Role Stereotypes
Thirty-two licensed practical nurses rated the concepts “an adult male patient” and “an adult female patient” on a set of semantic differential scales prior to listening to and rating one of four simulated patients. The simulated patients were two males and two females, with the characteristics of the females matched exactly to the males. Within each sex, the simulated patients differed according to emotional style (“calm” vs. “excited”); the dia…

What are the Questions in Psychology of Women? A Feminist Approach to Research
The importance of research questions and the question generation process is stressed. New approaches to research methods, including the communal along with the agentic, considering transactional and qualitative approaches, and underscoring the role values play in science, are explored as directions toward a feminist research paradigm. Three important question sources are delineated: (1) personal experience with qualitative and observational metho…
Dr. Susan W. Gray
While Susan W. Gray is known primarily for her work with the Early Training Project, a pioneering early intervention program with low-income black children, she has also influenced the development of school psychology and the creation of Early Childhood Education as a discipline. In addition, in her own quiet way, she has supported the career development of a number of professional women who have had impact on child development, early childhood e…

The Relationship Between Attitudinal and Behavioral Measures of Sex Preference
This study examined the relationship between an attitudal and a behavioral measure of sex preference for offspring. In addition to looking at the relationship between these measures, their relationship to other variables was also investigated. Pregnant women and their spouses (N = 56) responded to a questionnaire measure of sex preference, a behavioral measure of sex preference, Bem's Sex Role Inventory, and the Attitudes Towards Women Scale. The…
Development of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scales
The development of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales is described. Scales have been developed to tap beliefs that the source of reinforcements for health-related behaviors is primarily in ternal, a matter of chance, or under the control of powerful others. These scales are based on earlier work with a general Health Locus of Control scale, which, in turn, was developed from Rotter's social learn ing theory. Equivalent forms of t…
Locus of Control and Health
Locus of control, qn individual difference construct from social learning theory, has shown some promise in predicting and explaining specific health-related behaviors. Research is reviewed on the utility of the locus of control construct in understanding smoking reduction, birth control utilization, weight loss, information-seeking, adherence to medication regimens, and other health or sick-role behaviors. Implications for health educators are p…
Modification of Question Asking Behavior in High and Low Assertive Women Through Modeling and Specific Instructions
Forty women participated in an experiment designed to test the effects of two interventions, viewing a model and receiving specific instructions, upon their question asking behavior in a health teaching session. Both treatments decreased latency of asking the first question, but only specific instructions affected total number of bids for clarification. Women predisposed to be high in assertiveness were facilitated by any intervention; those low …
I Will Follow Him
Recent PhDs in psychology and biological sciences with spouses who were also professionals were surveyed; the focus was on their joint job-seeking. Couples frequently described egalitarian decision rules. But traditional patterns were also evident, particularly among the biological-science sample. Egalitarianism decreased in the actual job decisions made, but here the traditional alternative was frequently cited as a forced choice. Responses to s…

Professionals' preferences for support systems for the bereaved family
Health-care-related professionals rated the appropriateness and preferred timing of various community intervention strategies for assisting the bereaved individual. Results indicated: (a) agreement about the general need for such assistance programs, but no concensus as to which were most appropriate; (b) endorsement of the "resumption of activity" ethic; (c) belief that the most desirable period in which to intervene is within six months from th…
Beneficiary Attractiveness and Cost as Determinants of Responses to Routine Requests for Help
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of beneficiary attractiveness and cost on responses to a routine request for help. Subjects were almost twice as likely to promise to complete a questionnaire for a pleasant experimenter than for an unpleasant experimenter. This effect held for both high and low cost requests. These results were contrasted with a number of previous studies which report failure to find a positive relationship be…

Self-Anchoring Scale
Self-anchoring scales are ones in which each respondent provides an individual definition of the end points of a dimension and then rates himself on this self defined continuum. Presumably (1) people will rate themselves differently when asked to define anchoring points as against not defining them; and (2) people with different self-definitions of the end points of a dimension will rate themselves differently. To test these two propositions, the…
