“…Important theory development (Duntley and Buss 2010) and theory integration articles (Davis et al 2010) are also included in this issue; these articles further tackle how to understand stalking in the context of gender socialization and evolutionary necessity. Stalking studies conducted outside of the U.S. (Thompson et al 2010) or cross-nationally (Sheridan and Lyndon 2010) are incorporated into this collection as are studies conducted with U.S. samples; these nationally diverse studies add important information because gender roles can differ cross-culturally (e.g., Gibbons et al 1991). In summary, the array of approaches taken by the stalking researchers featured in this special issue demonstrates that gender and stalking intersect in myriad ways -many of which require additional consideration if we are to determine the full nature of the stalking phenomenon and the degree to which various types of stalking-behaviors are primarily perpetrated by men or by women.…”

Within this concluding commentary, three important gender-stalking intersections that emerge across the papers included in this special issue are explicated. First, we consider the degree to which existing measures and definitions of stalking are gender sensitive toward both men and women. Second, gender roles and gender socialization scripts are shown to impact our understanding of, perceptions about, and the impacts associated with stalking-like behaviors for both genders. Third, the intersection of gender and developing theories of stalking is considered. Finally, it is argued that future stalking researchers will need to be sensitive to changing cultural norms about gender, relationships, technology, and privacy as these are likely to alter the prevalence, perceptions, and prosecution of stalking within the United States and across the world.

“…The process of modernisation (Inglehart and Norris 2003) and liberal individualism promoted by (patriarchal) capitalism (Gibbons et al 1991) both facilitate more liberal gender roles in PL as well as in SA. However, while women's issues were central to the democratisation process in SA (Hassim 2004), they were marginalised in PL (LaFont 2001, Pollert 2003, Seguino 2007.…”

This study investigates ambivalent sexism to women in student samples from two under-researched transitional countries, Poland (PL) and South Africa (SA), in comparison with the United Kingdom. Based on ambivalent sexism theory (AST), and in light of socio-economic context, it was hypothesised that: (1) the sample in PL and SA would be more hostile-and benevolent-sexist than the sample from the UK, (2) males would exhibit more hostile attitudes than females irrespective of country and (3) males would outscore females on benevolent attitudes in the relatively liberal UK but underscore them in relatively conservative SA. The Ambivalent Sexism Inventory was used to measure benevolent and hostile sexism. The findings largely supported the hypotheses. The participants in SA and PL were more sexist than in the UK and men were more hostile-sexist than women in all three countries. However, males outscored females on benevolent sexism not only in the UK but also in SA and PL. Moreover, the sample from PL was observed to be more sexist than the sample from SA. The findings are discussed in light of AST and the countries' transitional context.

“…Stereotypes can therefore not only affect one person's expectations and thoughts but also his or her behavior -for example, achievement test performance (Deaux and Major 1987;Dijksterhuis and van Knippenberg 1998;Steele 1997). However, gender stereotypes are not universal throughout societies and ethnicities; they differ across cultures (Best 2001;Durik et al 2006;Gibbons et al 1991;Harris 1994;Kaufman 2006). Variations of gender stereotypes have been shown to be affected by variables such as religion and urbanization, as well as by the magnitudes of the existing gender gap and power distance between genders found in the societies (Désert and Leyens 2006;Eriksson and Lindholm 2007;Frieze et al 2003;Williams and Best 1990).…”

Where are the Gender Differences? Male Priming Boosts Spatial Skills in Women

The effects of gender stereotype activation by priming on performance in a spatial task were investigated among a mixed adult sample (including students) of 161 men and women (mean age=31.90) from Austria (Europe). They were assigned to one of four experimental groups according to gender and stereotype activation condition. After a male or female gender stereotype activating task, participants worked on a test assessing mental rotation (three-dimensional cube test, Gittler 1990). A significant main effect of priming on the performance in the mental rotation task emerged. Cohen's d showed a pronounced gender difference emerging only in the female priming condition (d=.59), whereas it disappeared in the male priming condition (d=.01).
