Effects of perceived verbal aggressiveness and proxemic violations on attributions of source blameworthiness for sexual harassment

As society moves into the 21st century, sexual harassment remains a major problem in organizations (Buttny, 1993; Cockburn, 1991; Kreps, 1993; Langelan, 1993; Simons & Weissman, 1990; Taylor & Daly, 1995; Wolfson,1997). The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, made it illegal to discriminate against employees regarding race, color, religion, national origin, and sex, but at that point in time, the phrase sexual harassment” had no meaning. Although women were aware of their daily struggles with gender discrimination in the workplace, no one had coined the phrase, and this pervasive problem was not yet an established part of the legal system. In the 1970s, the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace came to the attention of the public and the government via media and the feminist movement. During the early part of this decade, feminists defined sexual harassment as an expression of power and a form of sex discrimination” (Bingham, 1994, p. 3). Studies focused on sexual harassment as being rooted in male dominance and privilege in the workplace. According to Bingham (1994), this definition continued to evolve throughout the decade to include such diversities as race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation among women

The Global Significance Of Locus Of Control In Ethical Decision Making: A Multi-Country Examination Of University Students

Locus of control (LOC) is a personality variable shown to possess potential explanatory power in the study of ethical decision making. There have been, however, diverse results reported in the literature. Whenever differences on this variable are indicated by the research, individuals with an Internal LOC report the more ethical responses. This study extends the examination of the global relevance of the LOC variable to ethical decision making of university students in thirteen universities from eight countries. Using an instrument designed to elicit responses to questionable academic behaviors, this research analyzes ethical responses of university students (n=2,420) to look for differences based on the LOC variable. The behaviors examined are of a collaborative or collectivistic nature, and the students were asked to respond to how unethical they believe the academic behaviors to be. Results indicate considerable support for the global significance of LOC differences in the ethical responses of the students

Humanities at Large Next Generation Humanities PhD Planning Grant

This summary and assessment of the Humanities at Large project at the University of Rhode Island in fulfillment of the Next Generation PhD Planning Grant describes our exploration of the diversification of Humanities PhD education through cross-disciplinary and experiential learning. Our work focused on ways we could tap our institution’s resources, make connections across and beyond campus, and reimagine Humanities graduate programming at URI

Insect-mediated cross-pollination in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]: II. Phenotypic recurrent selection

Recurrent selection is a method for population improvement which has been used in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] to modify traits such as grain yield, seed-protein content, seed-oil content, tolerance to iron-deficiency chlorosis, and seed size. Nuclear male-sterility with insect-mediated cross-pollination has been successfully used in recurrent selection schemes in soybean. However, little attention has been given to selection to increase the agronomic performance of male-sterile plants per se. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of male-sterile lines segregating for male-sterile alleles ms2, ms3, ms6, ms8, and ms9 to phenotypic recurrent selection for increased seed-set after 3 cycles, using a selected group of male parents. Bees halictidae, anthophoridae, andrenidae, and megachilidae were utilized as the pollinator vector. The results indicated that recurrent selection in a favorable environment was successful to increase the number of seeds per male-sterile plant. Although a differential response was observed among populations, the seed-set observed would justify the use of some specific male-sterile selections as female parents in a hybrid soybean seed production system
