Drug Treatment Outcomes: Investigating the Long-Term Effects of Sexual and Physical Abuse Histories
Individuals in drug treatment, particularly women, generally report high levels of past sexual and physical abuse. Although histories of sexual and physical abuse are associated with greater prevalence and severity of depression, anxiety, phobias, and interpersonal difficulties for individuals seeking substance-related treatment, several recent studies failed to show that prior sexual or physical abuse compromised short-term drug treatment outcom…
Sexual Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder among Women Participating in Outpatient Drug Abuse Treatment
Findings from a prospective, longitudinal study of 182 women and 148 men in outpatient drug abuse treatment programs indicate that women are significantly more likely than men to experience sexual and physical abuse. Sexual and physical abuse are associated with higher levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology. Moreover, women are more likely than men to possess an array of psychological factors that predict relapse to drug us…
Methodological Fallacies and Politically Correct Explanations in Gender Stratification Research: A Reply to Bielby, Hartmann, Jacobs, and Beller
The Forum consists of comments on previously published papers and responses by authors. Unlike the Comment section in many other academic journals, the Forum includes solicited as well as unsolicited contributions. We encourage debates by actively seeking points of view contrary to those expressed in articles published in the journal. The Forum is intended to promote an open and critical debate that contributes to the intellectual vitality and fu…
Theories of Gender Stratification: Assumptions, Evidence, and “Agency” and “Equity” Implications
Gender stratification theories are reviewed in light of their causal assumptions, empirical evidence, and "agency" and "equity" implications. Agency involves the relative capacity of the individual to influence occupational outcomes; equity pertains to the perceived fairness of occupational rewards. It is concluded that the empirical support for the structural functionalist, structural barriers, cognitive, normative barriers, and normative altern…
Why fewer women become physicians: Explaining the premed persistence gap
When Case Managers Manage the Seriously Mentally Ill: A Role-Contingency Approach
Although case management is crucial to the delivery of mental health services to the seriously mentally ill, there is little understanding of what case managers actually do. The conventional view of the case manager role as an organizational linchpin is narrow and neglects the reciprocal and processual nature of the case manager role. In an effort to go beyond these limitations, a role-contingency approach is offered that assumes case managers pe…
The Confusion of Outcomes with Process: Reply to Gross
Increasing similarity in the values and life plans of male and female college students? Evidence and implications
Sex Differences in Success Expectancies and Causal Attributions: Is This Why Fewer Women Become Physicians
Toward the larger goal of understanding why women are underrepresented among physicians, this investigation assesses the contribution of the cognitive approach in explaining the lower rate of female persistence in undergraduate premed programs. In examining high school students about to embark on a premed course, the author found that females do not attribute their high school performance to a different configuration of ability, effort, or task d…
Men, Women, and the Premed Persistence Gap: A Normative Alternatives Approach
Recent data indicate that, while almost the same proportion of male and female college freshmen enter undergraduate premedical programs, substantially fewer females eventually apply to medical school. College transcripts from a large eastern university were examined to determine whether the lower persistence rate of females is a consequence of a generally lower level of academic performance. The evidence indicates that the differential rate of ap…
