Fleeing the House of Horrors
Culture of Honor, Culture of Change
This article presents a feminist analysis of honor killings in rural Turkey. One of the main goals is to dissociate honor killings from a particular religious belief system and locate it on a continuum of patriarchal patterns of violence against women. The authors first provide a summary of the defining characteristics of honor killings and discuss the circumstances under which they are likely to occur. Second, they discuss modernization versus t…
Guest Editor's Introduction
Recent or Imminent Separation and Intimate Violence Against Women
The focus of this article is the link between recent or imminent separation and violence against female partners. First, various bodies of literature are reviewed to establish the fact that separation heightens the risk of violence. Second, the conceptual contributions of social learning and power and control theories are presented as they pertain to intimate violence against women. Third, an expanded version of the power-and-control model is use…
No Laughing Matter
As personified in jokers, fools, and clowns, humour is an integral part of human history [44]. Humour can lighten what might otherwise be dull, tense, or tedious situations. Common definitions of humour emphasize and laughter, implying some form of benign diversion. But recent research suggests that jokes are not events that are funny - or harmful - as such. Rather, entails a dynamic process where the characteristics of the joke teller and the au…
Mainstream Neglect of Sexual Harassment as a Social Problem
Coverage of sexual harassment was analyzed through articles published in twenty journals between 1986 and 1994. analysis covered 914 issues and over 4,500 articles from Canada and the US. Results showed a clear neglect of the topic in the mainstream, while sexual harassment articles appeared almost exclusively in gender-based journals. Androcentric biases and traditional fears about claims-making activities are offered as reasons for this neglect…

Women, Men, and Dominance in Small Groups
There are at least three views about the role of dominance in task groups. According to one view, dominance leads to \ninfluence. In contrast, the performance view suggests that task cues will be the basis of influence hierarchies in task groups. The third conceptualization, social roles, considers the link between gender and the evaluation of behavioural styles of the interactants. In the present paper, the latter position is used to argue that …
Say It Ain't So, Ben
This study examines some well-known attributional tendencies in a unique situation. Specifically, it examines attributions for the unexpected fall of a Canadian hero, Ben Johnson, who was stripped of his Olympic gold medal for the use of anabolic steroids. The results reveal a reversal of the fundamental attributional bias and the use of base rate information in observers' attributions. The findings are interpreted and discussed in terms of Pyszc…
Simultaneous Effects of Status and Task Cues
The present study addresses the relationship between status characteristics and task cues. In addition, it explores how cognitive information-processing models apply to simultaneous effects of diffuse status and demonstrated confidence. The implications of the results for an expanded model of cognitive information processing strategies are discussed
