A Narrative Approach to Group Work with Men Who Batter

A narrative approach to group work with men who batter is presented with case examples. The approach is based in feminist and constructionist theory and seeks to expose and undermine the effects of patriarchal discourse in the lives and relationships of group members. The approach emphasizes an understanding of gender discourse, taking responsibility for actions, and exploring new definitional possibilities for participants and their relationships. The techniques of radical listening, the principle of least contest, breaking the allure of male entitlement and its effects, and cocreating a new male way of being are discussed with case examples.     

A male fitness advantage to wing reduction in the oriental chinch bug,Cavelerius saccharivorus okajima (heteroptera: Lygaeidae)

Summary A male fitness advantage to wing reduction was investigated for the oriental chinch bug,Cavelerius saccharivorus, which is wing dimorphic. Field surveys for the frequency of matings between wing morphs showed that the mating probability was much higher in brachypterous males than in macropterous males in the early breeding season. Brachypterous males copulated with not only brachypterous females but also macropterous females in this season. This led to a considerable rate (30%) of insemination of macropterous females just before emigration even in the early breeding season. A rearing experiment for the pre-reproductive period of females revealed that females mated with brachypterous males copulated and oviposited earlier than females mated with macropterous males. These results indicate that there is a fitness advantage to wing reduction in the males ofC. saccharivorus in terms of the earlier sexual maturation.

Effort-reward imbalance and work-home interference: a two-wave study among European male nurses

ABSTRACT

This one-year follow-up study among 1,421 male nurses from seven European countries tested the validity of the Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model in predicting prospective vital exhaustion and work-home interference. We hypothesised that effort and lack of reward would have both main and interactive effects on future outcomes. Results of structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that effort was positively related to exhaustion and work-home interference, both simultaneously and over time. Lack of reward predicted increased exhaustion at follow-up, but effort-reward imbalance did not influence the outcomes. Additionally, Time 1 exhaustion predicted increased work-home interference and exhaustion at follow-up. These results do not support the ERI model, which postulates a primacy of effort-reward imbalance over main effects. Instead, the findings are in line with dual path models of job stress and work-home interference. Multi-group SEM showed partial cross-cultural metric invariance for the ERI measure of effort, but the ERI measure of rewards showed no metric measurement invariance, indicating its meaning is qualitatively different across cultures. Nevertheless, the main conclusions were markedly similar for each national sub-sample. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our study.     

北美华人女性英文叙事中的男性他者

南宋女性与男性词人的涉酒诗词审美情趣比较——以李清照、朱淑真、苏轼、辛弃疾诗词为例

与南宋著名男性词人苏轼和辛弃疾的一系列涉酒诗词相比较,中国文坛同期的女性词人李清照和朱淑真的涉酒诗词也具备较高的文学价值。李清照涉酒诗词与朱淑真涉酒诗词相比,情感表达上更为内敛,但诗词中包含的感情同样的浓郁难解。二人早期作品内容以闺阁春怨为主,作品意象的选择上虽常常类似但表达方式却各有千秋。因为个人经历所致,李清照的后期涉酒诗词内容则与社会时事的关系更加密切,也多了几分男子的豪气。作为男性词人的杰出代表,苏轼和辛弃疾二者作品都洋溢着词人难以抑制的才情,在内容上也大都反映了对功名的追求与失落。但苏轼涉酒诗词表达的情感更为豪放与豁达,相比较而言辛弃疾则更为沉郁与隐忍。李清照与朱淑真的涉酒诗词为以男性为主导的涉酒诗词注入了女性独有的青春活力和纯真魅力,而苏轼与辛弃疾则为涉酒诗词注入了难得的率直和童真之情。
