Fathers' Rights Groups
This article combines information from fathers' rights Web sites with demographic, historical, and other information to provide an empirically based analysis of fathers' rights advocacy in the United States. Content analysis discerns three factors that are central to the groups' rhetoric: representing domestic violence allegations as false, promoting presumptive joint custody and decreasing child support, and portraying women as perpetrators of d…
Rape Rates and Military Personnel in the United States
This study involves a test of the cultural spillover hypothesis through a state-level analysis of the relationship between rape rates and the proportion of military personnel in the population. A statistically significant correlation not predicted by this hypothesis was found between rape rates and the proportion of Air Force personnel in the population. Further exploration revealed that this was largely because of the high correlation between th…
Origin and Goals of the “Gender Symmetry” Workshop
This article provides a brief account of the historical background to the Gender Symmetry Workshop and describes its major goals. The Workshop is a successor to an earlier workshop co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Justice in 1998, namely the Workshop on Building Data Systems for Monitoring and Responding to Violence Against Women. Some key issues that were left unresolved in that worksho…
Outcomes of Custody and Visitation Petitions When Fathers Are Restrained by Protection Orders
A random sample of custody and visitation petitions filed in New York City Family Courts in 1995 was used to examine outcomes of mothers' Order of Protection (OP) Petitions in relation to parents' custody and visitation petitions. Fathers restrained by OPs were more likely to secure visitation orders (64%) than not. In contrast, 80.8% of fathers' custody petitions were dismissed when they were restrained by OPs. Fathers' custody petitions were mo…
The Effects of Peer Group Climate on Intimate Partner Violence among Married Male U.S. Army Soldiers
This study examined the combined impact of individual-level and group-level variables on self-reported intimate partner violence, operationally defined as mild to severe physical aggression on the Modified Conflict Tactics Scale, among married male U.S. Army soldiers. The sample comprised 713 servicemen from 27 companies stationed at an Army post in the Alaskan interior. Group-level variables were based on individual reports on various dimensions…
Cohesion and the Culture of Hypermasculinity in U.S. Army Units
The goals of this study were to explore some of the ways gender affects cohesion and readiness in the small military unit, and to examine its impact on variables that may be related to unit cohesion, such as a culture of hypermasculinity. Using data from a 1998 survey of U.S. Army soldiers, the study found that men in male-only units manifested more group hypermasculinity than those in mixed gender units, and that group hypermasculinity was assoc…
Psychological and Physical Health Effects of Sexual Assaults and Nonsexual Traumas Among Male and Female United States Army Soldiers
Lifetime trauma history was assessed in a health study of active duty United States Army soldiers. Five hundred fifty-five male and 573 female soldiers in the sample were asked whether they had ever experienced 14 different potentially traumatic experiences, including sexual assaults, violent stressors to self, and terrifying events that occurred to others and were secondarily traumatic through exposure by gaining information or as a witness to t…
Gender Composition and Group Cohesion in U.S. Army Units
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between gender composition and group cohesion in U.S. Army combat support and combat service support units. Five studies were compared in this analysis, including survey data obtained in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm; in Somalia during Operation Restore Hope; in Haiti during Operation Uphold Democracy; and in two garrison samples. A higher percentage of women in the unit w…
Predictors of Tolerance of Sexual Harassment Among Male U.S. Army Soldiers
Tolerance of sexual harassment in the Army was examined in relation to three variables indicative of negative attitudes toward women among male soldiers. The first was a personality variable, negative masculinity, associated with narcissistic and aggressive characteristics; the second was a variable measuring hostility toward women; the third was a measure of acceptance of women as men's equals in the Army. In a MANOVA analysis, all three variabl…
Cohesion and Readiness in Gender-Integrated Combat Service Support Units
Cohesion, combat readiness and acceptance of women were examined among male and female junior enlisted soldiers and male noncommissioned officers (NCOs) in 19 combat service support companies. The proportion of junior enlisted females in each company was negatively correlated with mean cohesion and readiness scores for junior enlisted males. The proportion of NCO females was significantly correlated with the proportion of soldiers who said they d…
Life Events and Symptomatic Recovery of Army Spouses following Operation Desert Storm
The relation between life events and psychiatric symptoms among wives of soldiers deployed to the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm (ODS) was examined. Psychiatric symptoms were measured, using the 25-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL), at two times, once while the soldiers were away and a second time several months after they returned. In a multiple regression analysis, symptoms at Time 2 were predicted by post-Desert Storm events as…
Employment and Role Satisfaction
A path analytic model was used to examine the impact of three domains of life satisfaction and three employment-related variables on general well-being in a sample of 1,145 Army wives. The life domains included marital, financial, and role satisfaction. The employment-related variables included: (a) time spent employed (none, part, or full); (b) role fit; and (c) satisfaction with overall career development prospects. The employment-related varia…
Impact of Military Organization on Social Support Patterns of Army Wives
This study examines socio-environmental variables that influence the development of peer support among wives of combat arms soldiers in the United States Army. The study is based on data from the evaluation of a new system of deployment which seeks to keep soldiers and their leaders together for long periods of time in order to promote the development of cohesive military units, and to enhance stress-buffering supportive relationships among milit…
Social Support, Family Separation, and Well-being among Military Wives
The effects on general well-being of perceived social support, stress, and the Stress X Support interaction were examined in a sample of military wives. Support was defined as the perception of being able to count on another military wife for help with a personal or family problem. Stress was defined as the amount of time spent in the field by the soldiers in the husbands' units. Stress was found to have an adverse effect on well-being only among…
