Occupational gender composition is related to occupational wages
Occupations with a higher percent of women pay less than occupations with a lower percent of women. One explanation for this difference is the devaluation hypothesis: the idea that occupations with more women are devalued because of the relatively high percentage of women working in the occupations. Decades of research, using observational data from national surveys, find support for the hypothesis. A limitation of this previous research is the p…
Overlooked Consequences
Catherine J. Taylor on life under restrictive abortion laws
Abortion and Women's Future Socioeconomic Attainment
Abortion is a safe and common medical procedure. Roughly one in four women in the United States will have an abortion before the end of her reproductive years. Because of how common this experience is and how rapidly abortion policy is shifting, understanding the relationship between abortion and women's socioeconomic futures is well worth exploring. Extant research has demonstrated that the transition to parenthood is a critical inflection point…
The Specter of Motherhood
Why are young women less likely than young men to persist in academic science and engineering? Drawing on 57 in-depth interviews with PhD students and postdoctoral scholars in the United States, we describe how, in academic science and engineering, motherhood is constructed in opposition to professional legitimacy, and as a subject of fear, repudiation, and public controversy. We call this the 'specter of motherhood.' This specter disadvantages y…
Underpaid Boss
Underreward is associated with depression-but is that association contingent upon job authority and other forms of status in the work role? And, do these patterns differ for women and men? Analyses of a national sample of American workers reveal that underreward is more strongly associated with depression among women with higher levels of job authority compared to similarly situated men. The authors then demonstrate that this pattern is amplified…
Health Consequences of Laws and Public Policies That Target, or Protect, Marginalized Populations
Laws and public policies that are seemingly unrelated to health, nevertheless, can have health consequences in populations that are targeted, or protected, by that legislation. In this paper, I first review research showing that systems of oppression, such as racism and sexism, can cause negative health outcomes. I next discuss mechanisms underlying the relationship between such systems of oppression and negative health effects. Last, I review re…
Settling in
Network formation is a key element of newcomer socialization; however, little is understood about how newcomer networks are formed in higher education. Drawing on a series of interviews with 34 new pre-tenure faculty members, we propose that just as individual and organizational socialization tactics interactively influence newcomer adjustment (Gruman, Saks, & Zweig, 2006), so too will they affect new faculty experiences with network formation. O…
Relational by Nature”? Men and Women Do Not Differ in Physiological Response to Social Stressors Faced by Token Women
Women in male-dominated occupations report negative workplace social climates, whereas most men in female-dominated occupations report positive workplace social climates. Using a laboratory experiment mimicking the negative workplace social climates experienced by these token women, the author examines whether women are more sensitive to negative workplace social climates than men are or if, instead, men and women react similarly. Using salivary …
Physiological stress response to loss of social influence and threats to masculinity
Stigma, status, and population health
A Sociological Overview of Cortisol as a Biomarker of Response to the Social Environment
Cortisol is a stress hormone that is reactive to social stress and thus should be of use to sociologists interested in understanding specific processes related to the broad category of “threats to the social self”. In this paper I use cortisol as a case study to explore the utility of biomarkers for elucidating the relationship between the social environment and human biology. I focus on cortisol because it is a stress hormone that reacts in part…
Occupational Sex Composition and the Gendered Availability of Workplace Support
This study examines how occupational sex segregation affects women's and men's perceptions of the availability of workplace support. Drawing on theories of gender and empirical studies of workplace tokenism, the author develops the concept of an occupational minority. Although the notion of tokenism was developed to describe processes at the level of the workplace, the author explores how being a minority at the occupational level affects workers…
