“…In other words, an explicit hostile attitude toward women encompasses the endorsement of all the rape myths, whereas benevolence toward men weakens the offender's fault. These findings are in line with literature that has largely showed many pernicious effects of sexism (e.g., Barreto & Ellemers, 2005;Canto et al, 2014;Fedi & Rollero, 2016), but they also underline the necessity of differentiating the dimensions of ambivalent sexism. Indeed, if it is well established that benevolence and hostility toward both men and women are a complementary set of gender-traditional stereotypes which reinforce the status quo (Glick et al, 2004), more attention should be paid to the role each dimension can play in foster victim blaming and offender's justification in case of rape.…”

Rape myths are false beliefs about sexual violence that encourage blaming the victim and exonerating the offender. Within the framework of the Ambivalent Sexism Theory, we tested a model investigating the effect of each dimension of ambivalent sexism on the endorsement of each rape myth, and in turn the effect of each myth on the attribution of responsibility (to the perpetrator versus to the victim) in case of sexual violence. Participants were 264 students (54.9% females). Results showed that hostile sexism toward women fostered the endorsement of each myth, whereas benevolence toward men enhanced the myth 'He didn't mean to' and this increased the perception of the victim's responsibility. Implications in developing interventions to de-construct rape myths are discussed.

“…Self-esteem seems to play an important role in the relationship between individuals and achievements, both real and potential. The results of this study are in line with a number of empirical results that consistently report a positive relationship between selfesteem and leadership [26], between self-esteem and leadership aspirations [11], and research results between psychological variables (self-esteem, self-concept, and internal illusory control) with educational aspirations and job aspirations [14]. Castro & Armitage-Chan [27] found that students with higher confidence and self-esteem were more likely to aspire to realize their plans, then students with higher self-esteem had more positive views about learning, skills development, and educational experience, and experience less stress, all of which can positively influence the pursuit of leadership roles and aspirations for individual education going forward, both of which are dimensions of career aspirations.…”

Based on the results of previous studies it is known that the women tend to reduce career aspirations and are at low level of career aspirations. This study aims to examine and prove the influence of attitude variables on planning multiple roles (knowledge/certainty, commitment, freedom, involvement, and flexibility/compromise0 and role models (inspiration/modeling and support/guidance) on female career aspirations. This approach involving a sample of 206 final semester students of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta. The data collection technique used uses a nonprobability sampling technique (purposive sampling). The researcher modified the measuring instrument consisting of Career Aspiration Scale (CAS), Attitudes Toward Multiple Role Planning (ATMRP) scale, and adaption of self-esteem Rosenberg Scale and Person of influences on Academic and Career Decisions Scale (IOACDS). Test the validity of the measuring instrument using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique. Data analysis using multiple regression analysis techniques. Based on the results of statistical test, it was found thtat alternative hypotheses were accepted, which means that there was a significant influence on attitudes toward planning multiple roles and role models for female career aspirations. The variable dimensions that are significantly influential are knowledge/certainty, commitment, freedom and inspiration /modeling. While the influential but not significant variabel dimensions are dimensions of involvement, flexibility/ compromise, support/guidance

“…They concluded that women high on need for connectedness and self-esteem are more likely to report higher leadership aspirations. Fedi & Rollero (2016) found self-esteem to have a significant main effect on leadership aspirations of both men and women. Dickerson & Taylor (2002) found women high on task-specific self-esteem to show a greater selection of as well as interest in completing leadership tasks, while those low on it tend to select themselves out of leadership roles or positions.…”

The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between self-esteem and career aspirations among the youth of a conflict-ridden state -Manipur. Here, researchers attempt to explore the kind of aspirations the youth from Manipur have pertaining to their career and then find out the relationship between self-esteem and their career aspirations. The sample comprises individuals staying in the state of Manipur only (N = 122 in the age group of 18 to 35 years, with slightly more males (N = 69) as compared to females (N = 52). Data have been analysed in two stages viz. correlations between variables have been calculated for finding associations among them. In the next stage, linear regression analysis is carried out between independent variable, self esteem and career aspirations(dependent variables) and then again using same regression technique , self esteem and three sub-dimensions of career aspirations i.e. achievement aspirations, leadership aspirations and educational aspirations are analysed . The study also explores influence of gender on relationship between self-esteem and career aspirations as well as attempts were also made to qualitatively identify the most and least ideal careers that Manipur youth aspire for; while civil services and teaching are the most ideal, politics and medicine are the least ideal choice for them. Regarding what career opportunities are available to them in the state, medical, teaching, entrepreneurship, engineering and civil services emerged as the most frequently identified. As in findings of research, self-esteem is a significant predictor of career aspirations and its three dimensions among the youth of Manipur; there is a need for future researchers to explore other variables also that may have an important bearing on the variables of interest in this study.
