Sexual agreements and intimate-partner violence among male couples

Objectives: In the United States, HIV continues to disproportionately affect men who have sex with men. One promising area of research that may inform the development of behavioral interventions among male–male couples is within the realm of sexual agreements. Methods: The purpose of our analysis was to determine whether respondents who report having an open agreement or an agreement breakage also report a higher incidence of recent (within the previous 12 months) intimate-partner violence (IPV) compared to respondents who report having a monogamous agreement or no agreement breakage after controlling for demographic variables. Results: Results showed that men who have an open agreement are less likely to report recent physical IPV. Conclusions: The results highlight the need to develop dyadic behavior interventions that address sexual agreements and stress management.     

‘There Oughtta Be a Law Against Bitches’: Masculinity Lessons in Police Academy Training

This article draws on participant observation in a law enforcement academy to demonstrate how a hidden curriculum encourages aspects of hegemonic masculinity among recruits. Academy training teaches female and male recruits that masculinity is an essential requirement for the practice of policing and that women do not belong. By watching and learning from instructors and each other, male students developed a form of masculinity that (1) excluded women students and exaggerated differences between them and men; and (2) denigrated women in general. Thus, the masculinity that is characteristic of police forces and is partly responsible for women’s low representation on them is not produced exclusively on the job, but is taught in police academies as a subtext of professional socialization.     

A review of the epidentiological research on child sexual abuse. Community and college student samples

This article is the first of two consecutive reviews on the major empirical studies which have been carried out in an attempt to estimate the prevalence of child sexual abuse among females. The research is structured in terms of three sample categories: (a) probability and non-probability samples of the general population; (b) college student samples; and (c) clinical inpatient and outpatient samples. This part of the review deals with (a) and (b) and highlights a number of unresolved methodological issues which may contribute to the variance in reported prevalence rates. These include a myriad of definitions of child sexual abuse and different methods of eliciting information on possible histories of abuse. Despite these problems. taken as a whole the prevalence studies indicate the significant numbers of people who have experienced abuse and who are willing to disclose aspects of these abusive experiences.

性别文化在上古神话世界的印迹

“性别文化”是与“性文化”涵义不同的概念 ,指男女两性的区别及其相互关系。性别文化在上古神话世界有着鲜明的印迹 ,世界各国的神话都经历了由女性生殖崇拜到男性一统天下的演变过程 ,并在发展演化中印映出社会文明对“性”的差耻心和“性禁忌”。神话世界折射出人类在童年时代对自身生产从企望到审美的心智历程 ,最终形成的道德约束 ,是人类为保证自身健康繁衍的社会契约。

公民·公民教育·思想政治教育

公民概念在西方由来已久 ,它直接与国家相连并被认为是政治民主的一个关键因素。西方公民教育的核心 ,就是通过政治社会化形成公民意识。我国传统上只有臣民而无公民和公民教育 ,民国建立后所实施的公民教育也不成体系。真正将公民教育单独提出并加以强调 ,是在我国社会的转型时期。在社会主义市场经济条件下 ,立足于公民的塑造 ,培养公民的意识、观念与精神 ,是思想政治教育与时俱进、顺应时代发展的客观要求     

《九歌》审美探析

屈原的祭事诗《九歌》具有深婉的人情美 ,其中的人与物、环境与神灵的关系和谐统一 ,展示了别具一格的自然美与瑰奇温情的神灵世界。而这种人情美的构筑 ,与春秋战国时代“以善为美”的道德伦理哲学及屈原“美政”的社会政治理想是密切相关的。可以说 ,《九歌》的永久魅力不仅在于外在的形美、境美、事美 ,更在于其深层的“善美”。     

科学家道德责任的理论蕴含与困惑

科学技术成果在给人类带来巨大福利的同时 ,也带来了明显的负面社会影响。作为科学技术成果的制造者———科学家对其成果理应承担道德责任 ,但如把科学技术所带来的负面影响都归于科学家 ,这是不公正也是不现实的。因此 ,必须对道德和责任的含义、道德责任的种类、道德责任的根据等问题进行理性的思考 ,从而客观、公正地让科学家承担起应有的社会道德责任
