“…They also may encounter hostile and unsupportive environments relative to motherhood (Fouad et al 2000). For example, Williams (2002) noted that female academics with children are the recipients of greater bias to a larger extent than female academics without children. A common phenomenon often observed by female professors is that they believed that others thought they were valued and competent colleagues before having children.…”

There is a paucity of research examining the experiences and perceptions of women employed as school psychology academicians. The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain female school psychology academicians’ perceptions of their respective academic climates, levels of support, incidences of harassment, and levels of stress. Comparisons between women currently working in psychology departments and those in colleges of education were of particular interest. A total of 128 female school psychology academicians (52% response rate) completed the 48-item survey entitled, “Women in School Psychology: Academia Questionnaire.” The findings suggested that the majority of participants (61%) reported that climate differences did not exist. Additionally, the majority of participants were not dissatisfied with their experiences in academia. Although women perceived their respective academic climates as positive, areas of perceived gender disparity were identified. Results are discussed in terms of implications for recruitment and retention of women faculty in school psychology.

“…Why do humans still have misunderstandings and miscommunications? From a vertical, dualistic worldview, the answer lies in our “psychological encapsulation,” as Harry Heft (2001) expressed it, recalling Tennessee Williams’s (1940/2000) Battle of Angels : “We’re all of us locked up tight inside our own bodies. Sentenced—you might say—to solitary confinement inside our own skins” (p. 224).…”

Theory as behaviour: Why empathy research needs horizontal, mutualistic habits of seeing

I propose that theory, typically understood as a mere intellectual position, is also a habit of seeing (in the Deweyan sense). It is a form of behaviour organized through person–environment collaboration that reshapes both person and environment, facilitating and constraining subsequent potentials for action. I discuss two of psychology’s habits of seeing and their effect upon empathy research: (a) the vertical worldview, a habit of searching for reality at higher or lower levels, which neglects the empathizer’s context and (b) dualism, a habit of treating organisms as distinct from environments, which creates the problem of other minds. I present two alternative habits of seeing: (a) van Dijk and Withagen’s horizontal worldview, which looks outward to empathizers’ contexts and (b) organism–environment mutuality, which approaches organisms and environments as processes rather than entities. These latter habits, I conclude, better afford psychologists the possibility of addressing the practical problem of nonempathetic behaviour.
