“…Three forms of validity checking were used for the current study's findings (two forms are recommended by Creswell 2007). First, a member checking technique was used (e.g., Dougherty and Drumheller 2006). The author and a graduate student who participated in data collection re-contacted participants, asking them to play a role in this phase.…”

By inviting two generations of ethnically diverse men to define masculinity, this study makes visible ways men conform to, negotiate, and resist forces of hegemonic masculinity in the 21st century. Masculine gender role conflict theory provides underpinning for a textual analysis of empirical evidence gathered among U.S. young college men (N=80) in focus groups and their fathers/uncles (N=27) during interviews. Findings suggest that masculinities predominantly are defined in non-physical terms. Perspectives offered by African-American/Black, Asian, Caucasian/ White, and Hispanic/Latino men offer nuanced crosscultural constructions and meanings of masculinities and influences that shape their sense of self. Reported overall was anxiety, confusion, and frustration-especially with regard to the metrosexual and (in)ability to measure up to media-promoted male body images.

“…First, the author engaged in in-depth member checking. This method (sharing results with participants and asking for feedback on how the results do or do not reflect the participants' perceptions) is an accepted source of validity checking in phenomenological work (Bronfenbrenner 1976) and is frequently used in qualitative studies (e.g., Bergen et al 2007;Dougherty and Drumheller 2006;Toller 2008). Member checking can range from presenting findings to one or two participants (Dougherty 2001), to a percentage (Toller 2008), to each participant.…”

Although female breadwinners (FBWs) are increasingly common in industrialized society and challenge traditional western gender norms, little research has focused specifically on the experiences of FBWs. These experiences impact individual, family, and organizational decision making. Thus, this project uses a phenomenological method to explore the experiences and gendered identity negotiations of 15 FBWs from the eastern and midwestern U.S. who were recruited via electronic message boards and personal contacts. The study asks how these women experience the phenomenon of being the breadwinner, seeking common elements. Results indicate six essential elements of FBWs' experiences: (a) having control, (b) valuing independence, (c) feeling pressure and worry, (d) valuing partner's contributions, (e) feeling guilt and resentment, and (f) valuing career progress.

“…Given the rational bias in organizations (Dougherty & Drumheller, 2006) and the findings of Kipnis et al (1980) that those who sought to initiate change would use more rational tactics, it is Downloaded by [University of Windsor] at 06:06 18 November 2014 likely that solution presentations and direct-factual appeals would also be commonly associated with goals trying to change someone's opinion or behavior. Additionally, Falbe and Yukl (1992) argued that inspirational appeals were among the more successful messages in changing the audience's opinion on a topic.…”
