“…The positive relationship between masculine traits, as assessed by such scales as the Bem Sex Roles Inventory (BSRI; Bem 1974), and self-esteem has been well documented (Cate and Sugawara 1986;Long 1989;Marsh, Antill, and Cunningham 1987;Spence and Helmreich 1978). Although a few studies have found a significant relationship between attitudes toward gender roles-particularly, attitudes toward female roles-and self-esteem (Logan and Kaschak 1980;Valentine 1998;Pryor 1994), the relationship between attitudes toward male roles, including masculinity ideology, and self-esteem remains virtually unexplored.…”

The heat shock response is an evolutionally conserved adaptive response to high temperatures that controls proteostasis capacity and is regulated mainly by an ancient heat shock factor (HSF). However, the regulation of target genes by the stress-inducible HSF1 transcription complex has not yet been examined in detail in mammalian cells. In the present study, we demonstrated that HSF1 interacted with members of the ATF1/CREB family involved in metabolic homeostasis and recruited them on the HSP70 promoter in response to heat shock. The HSF1 transcription complex, including the chromatin-remodeling factor BRG1 and lysine acetyltransferases p300 and CREB-binding protein (CBP), was formed in a manner that was dependent on the phosphorylation of ATF1. ATF1-BRG1 promoted the establishment of an active chromatin state and HSP70 expression during heat shock, whereas ATF1-p300/CBP accelerated the shutdown of HSF1 DNA-binding activity during recovery from acute stress, possibly through the acetylation of HSF1. Furthermore, ATF1 markedly affected the resistance to heat shock. These results revealed the unanticipated complexity of the primitive heat shock response mechanism, which is connected to metabolic adaptation.

(A) Knockdown of mouse ATF1, CREB, and CREM. Immortalized MEF cells (stock no. 10) were infected for 72 h with adenovirus expressing shRNA against mATF1 (KD1, KD2), CREB (KD1, KD2), or CREM (KD1, KD2) or scrambled RNA (SCR). Cell extracts were prepared in NP-40 lysis buffer, and aliquots (120 g) were subjected to Western immunoblotting (IB) with rabbit antibody to ATF1/CREB or CREM or mouse antibody to ␤-actin. Arrowheads indicate the positions of the proteins. The asterisk indicates nonspecific bands. (B) Knockdown of ATF1 and CREM reduced the mRNA expression of HSPs during heat shock. MEF cells that were infected with the adenovirus as described in panel A were treated without (Control) or with heat shock at 42°C for 30 min. The mRNA levels of HSPs, including HSP110, HSP70, and HSP40, and those of ␤-actin were determined by RT-PCR. (C) Expression of HSP70 mRNA after the knockdown of ATF1/CREB members. ATF1, CREB, or CREM was knocked down in MEF cells and heat shocked at 42°C for 30 min (HS), MG132 for 3 h, AzC for 3 h, or As for 6 h. HSP70 mRNA levels were determined by RT-PCR and quantified. HSP70 mRNA levels relative to those in control Ad-sh-SCRinfected cells are shown (n ϭ 3). (D) Overexpression of ATF1 or CREM rescued the expression of HSP70 mRNA during heat shock in ATF1-null cells. GFP, HA-mATF1, HA-mCREB, or HA-mCREM was overexpressed in immortalized ATF1-null MEF cells. HSP70 mRNA levels during heat shock at 4...

“…Other researchers have found no evidence supporting androgyny as being positively related to mental health (Bassoff & Glass, 1982), and some have even questioned the existence of characteristics that would distinguish the four sex-role types that Bem proposed (Lubinski, Tellegen, & Butcher, 1981). Logan and Kaschak (1980) detected no differences in mental health among the various sex-role types, and Wells (1980) found that adolescent girls with high masculine scores on the BSRI measured higher in mental health tests than did those with high androgynous scores. In summary, some data point to the psychological and behavioral advantages of androgyny, while other data question its benefits.…”

This study investigated the relationships of sex, length of service, vocational personality types, and sex-role self-perceptions with job satisfaction levels of 200 school teachers, 200 school counselors, and 200 building-level administrators. It was found that, while length of service was not significantly related to the assumption of a particular vocational personality type, there was indication of a positive relationship between androgynous sex-role self-perceptions and high job satisfaction for both female and male respondents. Implications of these findings for the career development of educators are discussed, and suggestions for further research are noted.Studies and reports from only a few years ago revealed a growing level ofjob dissatisfaction among teachers (Reed, 1979;Sparks, 1979; Stress bothers many teachers, 1980; Wangberg, Metzger, & Levitou, 1982). Many women who traditionally would have been attracted to teaching, for example, have chosen work in private industry, and the number of college freshmen women expressing interest in teaching plummeted between 1960 and 1980 (The end of an era, 1980). While increasing salaries and recent educational reforms have made teaching careers somewhat more desirable, attracting high quality Ernest M. Schuttenberg and Frank L. ODell are professors in the
