Gender Gap in Parental Leave Intentions: Evidence from 37 Countries

Despite global commitments and efforts, a gender-based division of paid and unpaid work persists. To identify how psychological factors, national policies, and the broader sociocultural context contribute to this inequality, we assessed parental-leave intentions in young adults (18–30 years old) planning to have children (N = 13,942; 8,880 identified as women; 5,062 identified as men) across 37 countries that varied in parental-leave policies and societal gender equality. In all countries, women intended to take longer leave than men. National parental-leave policies and women’s political representation partially explained cross-national variations in the gender gap. Gender gaps in leave intentions were paradoxically larger in countries with more gender-egalitarian parental-leave policies (i.e., longer leave available to both fathers and mothers). Interestingly, this cross-national variation in the gender gap was driven by cross-national variations in women’s (rather than men’s) leave intentions. Financially generous leave and gender-egalitarian policies (linked to men’s higher uptake in prior research) were not associated with leave intentions in men. Rather, men’s leave intentions were related to their individual gender attitudes. Leave intentions were inversely related to career ambitions. The potential for existing policies to foster gender equality in paid and unpaid work is discussed.Gender Gap in Parental Leave Intentions: Evidence from 37 CountriespublishedVersio

Measuring collective action intention toward gender equality across cultures

Collective action is a powerful tool for social change and is fundamental to women and girls’ empowerment on a societal level. Collective action towards gender equality could be understood as intentional and conscious civic behaviors focused on social transformation, questioning power relations, and promoting gender equality through collective efforts. Various instruments to measure collective action intentions have been developed, but to our knowledge none of the published measures were subject to invariance testing. We introduce the gender equality collective action intention (GECAI) scale and examine its psychometric isomorphism and measurement invariance, using data from 60 countries (N = 31,686). Our findings indicate that partial scalar measurement invariance of the GECAI scale permits conditional comparisons of latent mean GECAI scores across countries. Moreover, this metric psychometric isomorphism of the GECAI means we can interpret scores at the country-level (i.e., as a group attribute) conceptually similar to individual attributes. Therefore, our findings add to the growing body of literature on gender based collective action by introducing a methodologically sound tool to measure collective action intentions towards gender equality across cultures.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Psychometric Properties and Correlates of Precarious Manhood Beliefs in 62 Nations

Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of gender equality and human development. Using data from university samples in 62 countries across 13 world regions (N = 33,417), we demonstrate: (1) the psychometric isomorphism of the PMB (i.e., its comparability in meaning and statistical properties across the individual and country levels); (2) the PMB’s distinctness from, and associations with, ambivalent sexism and ambivalence toward men; and (3) associations of the PMB with nation-level gender equality and human development. Findings are discussed in terms of their statistical and theoretical implications for understanding widely-held beliefs about the precariousness of the male gender role

Sociala effekter av en LARO-behandling - En litteraturstudie ur ett klientperspektiv

Bakgrund: Narkotikarelaterade dödsfall har de senaste åren ökat markant. Den vanligaste behandlingsformen för personer med missbruksproblematik av opioider är läkemedelsassisterad rehabilitering av opiatmissbruk, med andra ord en LARO-behandling. Eftersom behandlingen medicinerar klienter med ett substitutionspreparat anses det trots stort vetenskapligt stöd vara en kontroversiell behandling som fortsätter vara väl omdiskuterad. Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka de sociala effekterna av en LARO-behandling utifrån ett klientperspektiv. Metod: I studien granskas tolv artiklar med en kvalitativ ansats bestående av intervjuer som berör ämnet och delas in i teman. Resultat: De sociala effekter som identifierats som vitala för klienter som genomgår en LARO-behandling är på dennes sociala relationer samt sysselsättning.Background: Drug related deaths has increased significantly during the past years. The most common form of treatment for opioid dependence is medication assisted treatment, MAT. Since the treatment includes substitution medication for clients it is considered a controversial method that continues to be well debated, even though it has great scientific support. Aim: The study aims to investigate the social effects of MAT from a client perspective. Method: The study reviews twelve articles with a qualitative approach consisting interviews related to the main subject which is divided into themes. Results: Social relationships and occupation has been identified as most vital social effects for clients in MAT
