A Hidden Curriculum? Coeducation and Gender Identity
2000
Different subjects, in particular, are shown to be gendered, and it is a feet that children invest and excel in subject matters in accordance with their sex. Findings cm the reinforcement of gender stereotypes are more convergent with studies showing much more clear-cut differences in attitude between boys and girls in mixed groups. Coeducation holds back intellectual and personal development because it gives particular cogency to the cognitive processes of gender categorisation not only of fields and professions, but also of one's self and of others. Most importantly, probably, is the socialisation process that takes place simply through the cohabitation of the two groups, with their suppo…

Perfil sociodemográfico asociado a la ideación suicida de las personas transexuales
2020
Las personas transexuales experimentan tasas extremadamente altas de conductas suicidas. Sin embargo, aunque la ideación suicida se considera un precursor importante de intento de suicidio, se ha prestado poca atención a esta problemática y al perfil sociodemográfico de este colectivo. Así, nos proponemos identificar la prevalencia de ideación suicida en una muestra de pacientes transexuales y explorar su perfil sociodemográfico. Para ello, se recogió información sociodemográfica de 172 transexuales (58.7% mujeres transexuales, 41.3% hombres transexuales) de entre 18 y 61 años que acudieron a la Unidad de Trastornos de Identidad de Género del Complejo Hospitalario Carlos Haya.

Intersex condition and the construction of gender identity.
2015
Intersexuality is conceptualized as a disorder of sexual development (DSD), which includes congenital conditions associated with atypical chromosomal, gonadic and anatomic sexual development. DSD can be diagnosed at birth as a result of observation of ambiguous genitalia, or, in adolescence, if sexual development diverges from the assigned gender. Some DSD can only be recognized in adulthood as a consequence of reproductive difficulties. In children and adolescents with DSD, gender identity is strongly influenced by atypical sexual development. The comparison between two management models of DSD, the optimal gender policy and a holistic perspective focused on the individual, highlighted the…

Perceived social support and mortality in older people.
2006
Objectives This study examines the effect of perceived social support on all-cause mortality at a 10-year follow-up as well as the plausible mediating factors in this association. Methods We measured perceived social support in 206 Finnish men and women aged 80 years old by using the Social Provision Scale, which consists of six dimensions: attachment, social integration, opportunity for nurturance, reassurance of worth, reliable alliance, and guidance. Results By using a theoretical framework that divided perceived social support into assistance-related and non-assistance-related support, we found that the risk of death was almost 2.5 times higher in women in the lowest tertile of non-assi…
