  • Social and Demographic Dimensions of Sex Selection Technologies

    Sunjoo Park, William M Bowen et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2012

    Using the Thomson Reuters Web of Science, we analytically reviewed existing research from the past 30 years on the social and demographic dimensions of sex selection technologies. Through content analysis and bibliometric analysis, we investigated publications in four categories: description, attitudes, demographics, and policy. Our results leave little doubt that individual choices and, in some instances, public policies have the potential to br…

    Faith D Gilroy, Roberta SteinbacherARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1991References: 14

    A survey of 242 undergraduates assessed attitudes toward use of sex selection technology and the choice of sex of first- and second-born offspring among potential users.

    Douglas C Eadie, Roberta SteinbacherARTICLEPublic Administration Review1985References: 1

    Public organizations are increasingly using the techniques of strategic planning and management, despite warnings of skeptics who fear another over-sold, gimmicky management panacea.' The growing popularity of strategic approaches to planning and management is easy to explain. A serious planning vacuum exists, in that formal long-range planning in the public sector has tended to be static and inward-looking-often merely

  • Preselection of Child's Sex

    Open AccessFaith D Gilroy, Faith Gilroy et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1983

    A survey of 236 undergraduates was conducted to assess preference for sex of firstborn. Respondents also indicated their support for the women's movement and their willingness to use sex-selection techniques when these become available. Results confirm earlier findings of significant preference for boys by both female and male college students, although almost half of all respondents indicated they had no preference. There was no relationship bet…

  • Impact of Maternal Employment on Daughters' Sex-Role Orientation and Fear of Success

    Open AccessFaith D Gilroy, Teresa M Talierco et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1981

    Maternal employment was related to scores on the Bem Sex-role Inventory as well as to fear of success in a sample of 90 high school females. Data indicated that the daughters of working mothers were significantly more androgynous and demonstrated less fear of success than did the daughters of non-working mothers. Results are discussed in terms of the modeling of a broad spectrum of sex-role behaviors by the employed mothers that are positively re…
