“…Findings indicate that male undergraduates have more negative attitudes about their depressed peers relating to the Dangerous-Undesirable dimension. Such perceptions might stem from mental illness being still perceived as more taboo for males [ 49 ]. However, when considering the Weak-not-Sick dimension, females had a greater tendency to perceive the problem as a “weakness” and not a “sickness”, which might be associated with the perception that depressive symptomatology align with female expressions of negative emotionality.…”

Stigmatising attitudes of undergraduates towards their peers with depression: a cross-sectional study in Sri Lanka

et al. 2015

BackgroundThere is limited research examining mental health-related stigma of undergraduates in non-western developing countries. This study examined stigma of undergraduates in Sri Lanka towards another depressed undergraduate.MethodsA hypothetical vignette of an undergraduate suffering from depression was presented. A total of 4650 undergraduates responded to scales assessing their personal stigma towards and desire for social distance from this individual. Exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM) was performed to determine the dimensionality and loading pattern of the items on these two stigma scales. Multiple linear regressions were used to explore correlates of the identified dimensions of stigma.ResultsPrevious findings that the Social Distance Scale forms a single dimension and that the Personal Stigma Scale consists of two dimensions were supported. However, the measurement structure of the dimensions of stigma on the latter scales, labelled ‘Weak-not-Sick’ and ‘Dangerous-Undesirable’ , differed from previous work. A high level of stigma in relation to the ‘Weak-not-Sick’ Scale was observed. However, some correlates associated with lower levels of stigma on this scale, such as being in the Medical Faculty, were associated with higher levels of stigma on the ‘Dangerous-Undesirable’ and ‘Social Distance’ scales. In contrast, labelling the problem as a mental health-related problem, with absence of specific psychiatric terminology, was associated with lower levels of stigma on these latter two scales. Exposure to a mental health problem in family or friends or from personal experience was also associated with lower stigma on the Social Distance Scale. However, the effect sizes of these relationships were small.ConclusionsThe findings highlight differences in the measurement structure and score distribution of the ‘Weak-not-Sick’ and ‘Dangerous-Undesirable’ scales when used in different cultural and demographic contexts. The dimensionality of stigma relevant to these scales must always be established prior to their use in different contexts. Furthermore, campaigns targeted at improving knowledge about depression as a real illness and as a psychiatric condition need to ensure that such attempts are not associated with increases in other aspects of stigma.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12888-015-0523-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Because of those differences, television tends to be more conservative, particularly on matters of race, where minority characters have often been presented in subordinate roles (Dennis, 2009; Mastro & Greenberg, 2000). Similarly, Saturday morning programs historically tended to overfeature males in dominant roles while showing females in peripheral roles (Carter, 1991; Thompson & Zerbinos, 1995), leading to concerns that, because children model behaviors seen on television, they are likely to perpetuate gender stereotypes they see in cartoons (Basow, 1992; Strasburger, 1995). Superhero cartoons are particularly extreme in this regard.…”

In 2018, Disney launched a Marvel Rising transmedia campaign introducing a line of female superhero dolls and supporting media narratives across Disney XD, Marvel Comics, and Hasbro toys. Utilizing textual and industry analysis, we find that the concentration of ownership and the need to attract a new clientele resulted in a “commercialized feminism” text, one that thematically supports Disney’s prosocial messaging agenda, linking its products to what it perceives as the preferred social identity for its audience. As such, this work has implications for deeper understandings of how corporations can use transmedia rhetoric to mentor children, especially young women, toward confidence and self-empowerment while also allowing the corporation to maximize marketplace revenues.

“…Indeed, boys are not ready to adopt feminine characters and even feel shame to do so, whereas this is not the case with girls. In this way, boys always want to be active and competitive, and seem less interested to win friends and make relationships (Basow, 1992).…”

et al. 2015

Gender stereotyping and gender role development is one of the debatable concerns to sociologists especially those who are interested in sociology of gender. This study attempts to investigate the role of family inculcating gender stereotyping in Pakhtun culture and its impact on gender role development conducted in public-sector universities of Malakand Division, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The data were collected through in-depth interview method using interview guide as a tool of data collection. A sample size of 24 respondents consisting male and female students and teachers (8 samples from each university through purposive sampling technique) was selected from three universities in the region, that is, University of Malakand, University of Swat, and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University Sharingal (main campus). The collected information has been analyzed qualitatively where primary information has been linked with secondary data for further elaboration and attainment of grounded facts. The study reveals that gender stereotyping and gender role formation are sociocultural and relational constructs, which are developed and inculcated in the institutional network, social interaction, and social relationships especially in family. The study indicated that in family sphere, gender stereotyping and gender role formation are the outcome of gender socialization, differential familial environment, and parents' differential role with children. The study recommends that gender-balanced familial environment, adopting the strategy of gender mainstreaming and positive role of media, can overcome gender stereotyping and reduce its impacts on gender and social role formation.Keywords family, gender stereotyping, gender socialization, differential familial environment, gender role development, sociocultural and institutionalized mechanism Creative Commons CC BY: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License
