The Data Management Plan - from a burden to a key success factor
Creators: name: Rehermann, Carolin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Recently, funding agencies have begun to require sections on research data management in grant applications and the submission of a detailed Data Management Plan (DMP) during the initial phase of a funded research project. These DMPs are set as milestones to be achieved for a successful research project. Scientists often view DMPs as a burden and additional work that distracts them from active research. This is due to different requirements from different funders, lack of established routines for writing DMPs, and lack of tools and services for efficient research data management.We analyzed the DMP guidelines provided by the European Union for its Horizon Europe and ERC (European Research Council) grants, as well as those of the German Research Foundation (DFG). We summarized the requirements and topics to be covered, contrasting similarities and differences while keeping an eye on the different details.This poster will provide an overview of the basics of writing a DMP and will emphasize that writing is only a small part. The main work is preparation, thorough discussion, and decision making about how to manage the data. The groundwork includes documentation and data quality, storage and archiving, legal aspects, data sharing, and accessibility, to name a few. Some funders require researchers to apply the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) data principles for research data management. We will present our hands-on workshop for planning and writing DMPs and provide examples of how NOMAD, a web-based open source service, can support research data management according to the FAIR principles. Thorough data management planning in the early stages of a research project can prevent many of the hurdles that can arise in relation to the above issues. Therefore, a well-thought-out data management routine is critical to the success of the project
The Changing Culture of Fatherhood and Gender Disparities in Japanese Father's Day and Mother's Day Comic Strips: A 55-Year Analysis
Creators: name: Yasumoto, Saori
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: LaRossa, Jaret, Gadgil, and Wynn (2000, 2001) conducted a content analysis of 495 comic strips published on Father?s Day and Mother?s Day in the United States from 1945 to 1999 in order to determine whether the culture of fatherhood and gender disparities in the media had changed over the past half-century. Drawing on their research, I conducted a similar kind of analysis of 246 comic strips published on Father?s Day and Mother?s Day in Japan from 1950 to 2004. By comparing and contrasting the results in the two studies, I show how comic portrayals of families have changed in Japan and in the United States, and demonstrate the value of analyzing comic strips in cross-national research.

description: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have and important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) [1]. Some of these products present auto-fluorescent, feature typically used to measure them [2]. Recently, it has been described the characterization of AGEs using mass spectrometry (MS) [3]. Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of these techniques to measure AGEs in patients with HF.
 One hundred consecutive patients with HF attending our medical centre were included in the study and clinical and analytical data were obtained (69.7±11.9 years, 34% female, 36% diabetics). Fluorescent AGEs and mass-shift of glycated albumin were respectively measured by fluorescence spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF/MS in the plasma of these patients.
 Positive association between glycated albumin mass-shift (66,616 ± 32.2 Da ranging 66,565 – 66,686 Da) and plasma levels of fluorescent AGEs (65.5 ± 20.8 a.u. ranging 29.5 - 128.8 a.u.) was observed (p < 0.05).
 While fluorescent AGEs only measure part of the total glycated modifications, the MS technique allow a global measurement of the glycated state of major circulating proteins. However, the strong correlation between both types of measure, points out that both of them can be used as biomarkers of the glycation state of plasma.

description: Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have important implications in cardiovascular pathophysiology. However, little is known about their effects on vascular tissue remodelling processes and its regulation by redox status.
 The effects of AGEs (12.5 – 400 µg/ml) on the growth, migration, healing of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and on the expression of genes involved in redox equilibrium were studied in vitro.
 AGEs 400 µg/ml significantly induced HUVEC growth after 12 hours of treatment, but not at lower concentrations. These results partially explain the fact that AGEs had no significant effects on endothelial healing after a wound in the range of concentrations tested. On the contrary, AGEs over 100 µg/ml enhanced HUVEC migration in vitro.
 Gene expression was stimulated by AGEs in a temporary pattern. Catalase and endothelial nitric oxide synthase, but not superoxide dismutase, were enhanced in the first instance (4 h) by AGEs over 50 µg/ml whereas NADPH oxidase (NOX4) was increased only after 15 hours of treatment.
 All together suggests that high concentrations of AGEs may increase endothelial cell proliferation and endothelial migration during angiogenesis, but not in healing. Temporary regulation of reactive oxygen species production may determine endothelial response to AGEs.

title: Investigating the mechanisms of novel barley lemma shape development in Calcaroides-C

Subjects: subject: Calcaroides-C (Cal-C)
subject: Lemma
subject: Shape determination
subject: Gene expression
subject: Developmental mutants

description: The shape of plants is influenced by the complex interactions of gene expression, hormonal responses, and tissue patterning. The delineation of plant tissues into abaxial-adaxial (lower-upper), medio-lateral (centre to margin), and basal-apical (bottom to tip) domains, along with growth orientations, is crucial in shaping complex organs. Plant shape is a key component of plant productivity and in the case of crops, of potential yield. Understanding how shape is determined is important for advancing our understanding of the world around us and for potential crop improvement. One approach to studying plant shape determination is to examine developmental mutants, which can be leveraged to identify genes influencing plant shape. Barley is a key cereal crop and is a model species for the study of developmental genetics. The barley lemma has a distal bristle-like extension called the awn which is important for grain development and has an interesting collection of shape mutants. The dominant Calcaroides-C (Cal-C) mutant has ectopic development of a sac and wing-like structures at the lemma-awn boundary. While previous research has mapped Cal-C to chromosome 5H, the Cal-C causal mutation and its influence on developmental pathways remains unclear. My thesis seeks to identify the Cal- C causal mutation and elucidate the mechanisms by which the Cal-C phenotype develops. To achieve this, I characterised the whole plant phenotype, effect on grain, cellular behaviour and transcriptomic changes. My research found that the Cal-C phenotype is specific to reproductive development. Analysis of lemma development found key differences in epidermal cell behaviour that may underlie the gross morphology previously reported. I found that the Cal-C lemma has ectopic expression of genes such as KNOX8 and KANADI1, both genes associated with patterning across axes. My research into Cal-C provides insights into the mechanisms of novel shape determination in the barley lemma. In particular this work contributes further evidence that patterning genes can be redeployed in new contexts to generate novel 3D shape changes in plants.

description: Protein glycation (PG) usually induces the loss of protein function and consequently, the development of diabetes-related diseases1. It has been assumed that this process occurs as a result of a structural modification induced by PG, which is also able to trigger protein aggregation. Therefore, neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson or Alzheimer diseases increase their prevalence under diabetes mellitus.
 Trying to describe in detail the molecular mechanism that links PG with protein aggregation we have studied the glycation of lysozyme (HEWL) with ribose2. HEWL has been used as a model since it holds a reduced aggregation tendency under its native state and possesses putative glycation targets (lysine and arginine)3. On the other hand, ribose induces protein aggregation4 and it physiological concentration rapidly rises in diabetic patients5.
 Through the combination of different biophysical techniques (NMR, CD, SAXS, etc.), we have proved that HEWL glycation mediated by ribose mainly occurs on lysine without altering the protein structure. However, glycation induces a change on the overall protein charge generating different hydrophobic patches which are responsible for the native aggregation of glycated HEWL. This aggregation process initiates with the formation of soluble oligomers which finally assemble to form insoluble aggregates.

To Be or Not To Be...Christian: Explaining Chinese Immigrant Elders' Christian Participation in the U.S.
Creators: name: Zhang, Gehui
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: In recent years, growing numbers of Mainland Chinese elders are participating in Christian congregations during short visits or extended stays in the U.S. This thesis explores social and cultural factors that explain these immigrant elders? involvement with Christianity while in the U.S. Based on face-to-face interviews with 20 Mainland Chinese elders living in Atlanta as well as participant observation at a Chinese Christian church and with a Bible study group, this study finds that loneliness and social isolation in a foreign land are the main reasons for Mainland Chinese elders? participation in Christian activities. Besides religious services, social service functions of churches and opportunities for fellowship are other factors explaining church involvement. Long immersion with China?s religious history of syncretism renders these elders receptive to spiritual alternatives, such as Christianity, especially when dominant ideologies of Confucianism and Communism seem to be in decline in China. But most elders approach their Christian involvement with pragmatic selectivity based more on secular than religious considerations. In conclusion, I argue that social isolation and minority ethnic status, Chinese Christian Churches? social functions, and current social contexts in China are all factors that help explain Chinese elders? religious involvement in the U.S.

description: Although aspirin is a cornerstone in the prevention of ischemic events in cardiovascular patients, its clinical benefit in diabetic patients is uncertain. Glycation of platelets proteins may be involved in the less-than expected sensitivity to aspirin but the effect of high glucose on the critical residues of the catalytic pocket of cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) has never been evidenced. We addressed this issue by incubating platelet proteins 24 hours with 30mM glucose followed by 30 minutes with 500µM aspirin and subsequent analysis by mass spectrometry. Our results show that aspirin acetylation does not change significantly for the majority of platelet protein sites including those belonging to COX-1, with the only exception for the serine 529 residue, the target of aspirin, where high glucose seems to significantly decrease its acetylation state. Moreover, the inhibition of COX-1 activity mediated by aspirin was significantly less marked in presence of high glucose levels. These results provide new insights on the interplay between glucose and aspirin on COX-1 activity, whereby the reduced acetylation level of its catalytic residue is associated to the lower inhibition of the enzyme mediated by aspirin.

"I Know What You Are Going Through": The Impact of Negotiating the Criminal Justice System on the Well Being of Family Members of Homicide Victims and Criminal Offenders.
Creators: name: Bertollini, Cara-Vanessa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Increasingly individuals are coming into contact with the criminal justice system. For millions of Americans this contact is mediated by the victimization or offense of a loved one. This study focused on exploring what the family members of victims and offenders identify as their needs and concerns in relation to the criminal justice system, assessing if the system is effective in addressing these needs and concerns, and understanding how these families' lives are shaped by interaction with the system. Grounded theory method was used to analyze the narratives posted on two on-line message boards, one for victims' families and one for offenders' families. The results from this study suggest that both groups express the same frustrations and concerns about the criminal justice system, and that both groups develop similar coping strategies to assist them in negotiating the system after initial incarceration or victimization.

Black Employment Opportunities: The Role of Immigrant Job Concentrations
Creators: name: Baird, Jim
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Recent, post-1980, immigration patterns have had a dramatic effect on U.S. labor markets, leading to considerable debate about the impact of immigration on native-born black workers. This research examines immigrant and black labor markets, across metropolitan areas, using Public Use Microdata and Summary File data from Census 2000 to generate low, mid, and high classifications of immigrant and black occupations based on socio-economic index (SEI). Multivariate findings indicate that the effect of recent immigration on black labor market outcomes differs by occupational level. Competition for low-skilled jobs is identified for native-born blacks in low-level jobs while a ?bump-up? effect is identified for blacks in mid-level jobs. For example, production occupations with low language and skill requirements are shown to be contested among the groups. On the other hand, service and administrative functions emerge as bump-up mechanisms that create opportunity for black workers who amass the human capital required of these occupations. Thus, the ramifications of immigration for native-born blacks are shown to be quite different for low- and mid-SEI jobs.

description: Diabetes mellitus increases oxidative stress and formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) both of which underlie vascular complications by interfering with angiogenesis required for wound-healing. Momordica charantia (MC) prevents AGE formation and promotes diabetic wound-healing in animals. This study investigates the effects of MC pulp (MCP), flesh (MCF) and charantin using an in vitro model of angiogenesis. Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to bovine serum albumin (BSA)-derived AGEs. MC extracts increased cell proliferation, migration (using wound-healing assay) and tube formation (using Matrigel™-embedded 3D culture) in a dose-dependent manner, and these effects were associated with increases p-ERK1/2 signaling. These effects were inhibited by MCP, MCF and charantin extracts. Blocking the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) inhibited the MC extract-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation and tube formation, indicating the crucial role of RAGE in MC pro-angiogenic effects. In conclusion, MC extracts and charantin exert direct pro-angiogenic effects mediated through RAGE with inhibitory activity on anti-angiogenic effects of BSA-AGEs. Further studies are needed to understand the therapeutic potential of MC extracts in diabetic wound-healing.

description: Vom 19. Dezember 2023 bis zum 5. Januar 2024 kam es zu starken Regenfällen im
Zusammenhang mit einer Reihe von Tiefdruckgebieten, die über Norddeutschland zogen. Der
langanhaltende Regen traf auf bereits gut gesättigte Böden, was zu einer großräumig
angespannten Hochwasserlage im Bereich der Flüsse Ems, Weser und Elbe führte. Es gab
keine Todesopfer, doch das Hochwasser verursachte erhebliche Schäden insbesondere an
Wohngebäuden und landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen. An einzelnen Stationen in
Niedersachsen wurden im Dezember neue Niederschlagsrekorde aufgestellt. Insgesamt
zeichnete sich das Ereignis aber weniger durch die Stärke der Niederschläge an sich als eher
durch seine Dauer und die Größe der betroffenen Region aus. Die vorliegende
Attributionsstudie untersucht mit Hilfe von Beobachtungs- und Modelldaten, in welchem Maße
der Klimawandel die Wahrscheinlichkeit und Intensität eines winterlichen
Dauerregenereignisses in Niedersachsen beeinflusst.
Die Studie zeigt, dass sich durch den bisherigen Klimawandel die Intensität des größten
Monatsniederschlages im Winter in der betroffenen Region in Niedersachsen im Vergleich zu
einem globalen Klima, das 1,2 °C kühler ist als heute, um 5 % erhöht hat. Die
Modellergebnisse zeigen hier jedoch insgesamt eine Spanne von -7 % bis +21 %. Die
Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein solches einmonatiges Niederschlagsereignis auftritt, hat sich um
einen Faktor 1,8 erhöht, wobei auch hier die Ergebnisspanne recht groß ist (0,1 bis 140). Dies
bedeutet, dass sich nicht alle Modelle über Ausmaß und Richtung des klimawandelbedingten
Einflusses auf die gemittelten Monatsniederschläge einig sind. Die meisten zeigen jedoch eine
Zunahme der Intensität und Wahrscheinlichkeit.
In einem Klima das +2 °C wärmer ist als das Klima um 1900 – das bedeutet weitere 0,8 °C
wärmer als heute – zeigen die Modelle eine zusätzliche Verstärkung der Intensität dieses
Monatsereignisses um 3 % (-0,5 % bis 7 %). Für einen Dauerregen, wie diesen, ist eine
weitere Erhöhung der Wahrscheinlichkeit um einen Faktor von 1,5 (0,95 bis 2,5) zu erwarten.
Cesarean Section Disparities: Assessing The Likelihood of Undergoing Surgery in Childbirth
Creators: name: Palmer, Louise
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Nearly one in three women in the United States undergoes major abdominal surgery in childbirth. According to the World Health Organization, in industrialized countries, the cesarean operation provides no health benefits when rates surpass one in six. In fact, the reverse applies; as a result of cesareans both women and their babies suffer disproportionate morbidity and mortality compared to cases of vaginal births. Furthermore, the decision to perform a cesarean relies mostly on subjective physiological indicators and varies according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the birthing woman. By regressing multiple clinical and sociodemographic factors against the method of birth, this research determines the risk factors of undergoing surgery in childbirth in the U.S. Results reveal medicalized childbirth to be a capricious system where sociodemographic factors determine a woman?s chance of major abdominal surgery.

Racial Disparity in Social Spatiality: Usage of National Parks and Opera Attendance
Creators: name: Johnson, Joseph
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: This study investigates the existence of an ethnic separation in different settings of leisure activities.  I examine the relationship between race, gender, socioeconomic status, and education with respect to the usage of popular cultural activities and high cultural activities to demonstrate the racial disparity occurring in both.  A literature review pertaining to the usage of outdoor recreation, as in camping and hiking evidences the influence of racism on the disparity in Non-white participation.  In contrast to out-door leisure activities, literature evidences the influence of class instead of race for the disparity in indoor leisure activities.  Using the 1993 General Social Survey (GSS), I am able to arrive at the conclusion that the type of leisure chosen by an ethnic group relates much less to the educational level, economic status or the place of residence as it does to the perception of the socially constructed settings.
Social Construction of Chinese American Ethnic Identity: Dating Attitudes and Behaviors among Second-Generation Chinese American Youths
Creators: name: Luo, Baozhen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis explores and identifies patterns of dating attitudes and behaviors among second-generation Chinese Americans. Grounded theory is applied to analyze data from in-depth interviews with 20 second-generation Chinese Americans in metro- Atlanta area. By using a social constructionist model of ethnicity, I uncovered a subtle process by which the second-generation Chinese youths constructed their dating values and identities through both differentiating and integrating their parents­? and white peers­? dating cultures and gender norms. Second-generation Chinese American youths constructed and reconstructed their own dating values, gender norms, and further ethnic identities through various processes of picking and choosing from both cultures. I argue that straight-line assimilation theories, which assume adaptation into mainstream American culture, do not explain the complexity of the dating culture created by the second-generation Chinese American youths. In conclusion, the findings of this study revealed a new dimension of the social construction of ethnic identity: the agentic dynamics of constructing the second-generation Chinese American identity.

The Building Blocks of Atlanta: Racial Residential Segregation and Neighborhood Inequity
Creators: name: Hayes, Melissa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: I conduct a case study of Atlanta's metropolitan core in order to provide a rich, detailed analysis of urban neighborhoods, and to document the persistence of racial inequalities.  Using Census 2000 block group data, I examine racial residential segregation in the five core counties of Atlanta between whites and minority groups, as well as among minority groups.  I find high levels of residential segregation between whites and blacks, as well as between blacks and Asians, and blacks and Hispanics; segregation is lower between whites and Asians, and whites and Hispanics. I also investigate neighborhood characteristics like percentage poverty and educational attainment in neighborhoods with different racial compositions.  These results highlight the advantages found in predominately white neighborhoods compared to racially concentrated minority neighborhoods, particularly African American and Latino neighborhoods.  Overall, this thesis shows that residential stratification remains a hallmark indicator of racial inequality through the opening of the twenty-first century in Atlanta.
Predictors of Job Satisfaction among Staff in Assisted Living
Creators: name: Liu, Guangya
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Using findings from a statewide study of satisfaction and retention of 294 direct-care staff in 39 assisted-living facilities (ALFs) in Georgia, this study examines the effect of sociodemographic, job, and attitudinal characteristics on overall job satisfaction and its various dimensions.  The results show age has a negative effect on promotion satisfaction. Whites are more satisfied than non-whites with overall job, work, supervision, and pay.  Urban workers are less satisfied with overall job, supervisor, coworker, promotion, and pay than their rural counterparts. Education negatively affects coworker satisfaction.  Workers with children are less satisfied with supervisor relationships, and pay than childless persons.  Pay is positively associated with pay satisfaction. Perceived workload is negatively associated with overall job satisfaction and each of its dimensions. Finally, perceived autonomy is positively associated with promotion satisfaction. The results of this study emphasize the need for new strategies to improve job satisfaction among workers in ALFs.

description: Among post-translational modifications, non-enzymatic glycation is of particular relevance, since it plays a pivotal role in the development of long-term diabetic complications. Beside continuous advances in treatment of those deleterious effects, aspirin was shown to prevent proteins from excessive glycation but the extent of the interplay between aspirin-induced acetylation and the level of glycation in the different blood compartments, was poorly investigated. Whole blood from healthy controls was separated into plasma, erythrocyte, leukocyte and platelet fractions. Proteins from each fraction were incubated with 30mM glucose for 24 h and 500 µM aspirin for 30 min. A middle-down proteomic approach coupled with label-free quantitation was then performed to provide qualitative data through the detection of preferential protein glycation sites as well as quantitative information to determine the influence of aspirin acetylation on glycation process. These experiments showed that aspirin reduces protein glycation in all the blood compartments including most of the major plasma proteins, different haemoglobin subunits and proteins involved in platelet activation and inflammation. These results provide further insights on the mechanism with which aspirin may alleviate the consequences of prolonged hyperglycaemia.

Stand By Your Man, Redneck Woman: Towards a Historical View of Country Music Gender Roles
Creators: name: Pruitt, Cenate
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Country music, considered a uniquely American musical genre, has been relatively under-researched compared to rock and rap music.  This thesis proposes research into the topic of country music, specifically the ways which country music songs portray gender.  The thesis uses Billboard chart data to determine commercially successful songs, and performs a content analysis on the lyrics of these songs.  I will select songs from a fifty year period ranging from 1955 to 2005, so as to allow for a longitudinal study of potential changes in presentation.  Attention will be focused on the lyrical descriptions of men and women and how their roles are described in the songs.

Getting by Gatekeepers: Transmen's Dialectical Negotiations within Psychomedical Institutions
Creators: name: Waszkiewicz, Elroi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Transsexuality remains grounded in pathologizing discourses. Mental health professionals largely classify transgender experiences as disorders, and transgender people seeking to alter their bodies typically must obtain authenticating letters from therapists verifying such diagnoses. Physicians usually require these letters to perform transition-related services, and sometimes require additional legitimization. In these ways, psychomedical professionals impose gatekeeping measures that withhold and confer services to transsexuals who desire medical transition. Using qualitative interview data and grounded theory methods with 20 female-to-male transsexuals, this study demonstrates that transmen typically represent informed consumers whom carefully research psychomedical protocol and anticipate providers? adherence to professional standards. When they encounter gatekeeping, this preparedness informs their dialectical struggles within the psychomedical institutions wherein transmen must negotiate bodies within the confines of pathology. Ultimately, this dialectical process is managed and maintained by the larger regime of truth?the gender binary system.
Rolling Manhood: How Black and White Men Experience Disability
Creators: name: Bender, Alexis
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Sociologists have only recently paid attention to how men experience physical disability. However, current research continues to ignore how different racial groups experience it. The goal of this study was to examine how black and white men experience life with a physical disability. Using qualitative research techniques involving in-depth, face-to-face interviews with 10 black and 10 white men, I focus on how meanings of disability and masculinity shift after a traumatic injury. Using symbolic interactionism and social construction as theoretical frameworks, I examine how these men formed and modified meanings for disability and masculinity through social interactions. I also analyze the strategies they use to manage a stigmatized identity. Finally, I explore how they negotiate a masculine identity within larger social contexts. My findings suggest that black and white men?s constructions of masculinity and disability are more similar than different on all levels. Furthermore, these men used three strategies to negotiate their new social identities: reinforcing idealized masculinity, modified masculinity, and lost masculinity.

description: Dietary MRPS represent a diverse class of molecules, and their impact on human health is a matter of debate. A prerequisite for a physiological effect from dietary MRPs is that they are transported across the intestinal barrier. The objective of this study was to demonstrate a possible mechanism for MRPs transport in a human intestinal cell line (Caco-2). To produce the MRPs, a tripeptide Lys-Pro-Hyp was synthesized and non-enzymatically glycated with glucose. MRPs [Amadori peptide (m/z 519.6) and Nε-fructosyllysine (m/z 309.5)] were characterized by mass spectrometry. Radiolabeled 3H peptide and 14C MRPs were used to demonstrate the trans-epithelial transport. MRPs showed a 2.5-fold greater transport rate compared to the control peptide (Fig.1). Different receptor inhibitors were used to demonstrate a possible trans-epithelial route for MRPs. The inhibition of glucose transporter receptor (GLUT) significantly (p < 0.001) decreased the transport rate of MRPs. Peptide transporter PEPT-1 inhibition showed a significant (p < 0.001) decrease in MRP transport rate, while SGLT inhibition did not show any significant change. GLUT receptors likely play an important role in trans-epithelial transport of MRPs in the Caco-2 cell system.

College Students' Prejudiced Attitudes toward Homosexuals: A Comparative Analysis in Japan and the United States
Creators: name: Ito, Daisuke
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: This thesis examined the prejudiced attitudes toward homosexuals among university students in Japan, and the relationships of these attitudes with the students' demographic information, contact experiences with homosexuals, attitudes toward men's and women's roles, and living experience in foreign countries. In addition, this thesis compared Japanese and American university students' prejudice toward homosexuals. Survey data were collected from 166 university students in Japan, which is then compared to data on 956 university students in the United States (Baunach and Burgess 2002). The regression results demonstrated that Japanese respondents who had contact with homosexuals and who had relatively egalitarian gender role attitudes were less prejudiced than those who had no contact and who had relatively traditional gender role attitudes. American students expressed more prejudiced attitudes toward homosexuals than Japanese students. Even after controlling for gender, parents' education, gender role attitudes, and contact experiences, American students were more prejudiced than Japanese students.
