Female Discrimination in the Field of PsychologyEssay Preview: Female Discrimination in the Field of PsychologyReport this essayDiscrimination 2Female Discrimination in the Field of PsychologyDiscrimination, whether gender bias or race bias is an essential part of our world today. Although, over the years it may have gotten it better, it still has a heavy effect on how we are determined in our careers. The field of psychology provides an excellent example of how gender plays a key role in discrimination. It is very obvious that the career in psychology is growing steadily due to the many colleges and universities that offer psychology as a major. Although interest in the psychology is increasing, this trend is inspired by prominent leaders, theories, and contributions of philosophers. Again very few attention is paid to the place of women in psychology, due to many facts and figures. Those facts and figures are reduced now, so it is very safe to argue that the psychology is a steady growing field with females at is highest peak. But is psychology still dominated by the control of males and what should be researched? Psychology is now becoming more diverse but this has not always been the case.
HistoryIn the early 1800s it was very rare to find women in any career, let alone the career of psychology. Many prominent females have paved the way for the some of female psychologist today. American Psychological Association (APA) was founded in 1892 and the first president of APA was Stanley Hall (Demir, 2000). However, an interesting point is that women started becoming a member of APA in 1893 by election. As women gained power, the number of women in the field increased. Mary Whion Calkins was the first women to be elected president of
Discrimination 3The American Psychological Association. Mary Whion Calkins earned a degree at Harvard University but the University refused her degree because she did not permit
degrees to women. Mary Calkins was successful enough to start one of the first psychology laboratories in the United States. This is an example in the start of taking a stand in the fight for equality in psychology. Mary Whiton and others paved the way for women to take part in their roles and interest in psychology. It has been highlighted that women outnumber men two-to-one as undergraduate psychology majors and now earn more doctoral degrees in psychology than men. (Palladino & Davis, 2005)
FeministFeminism can be described as the focus of womens lives and the oppression of women in todays world. Some female psychologist feel as though there are issues and concerns such as rape, sexual harassment, and abuse that have not been a main focus of research which has a great influence on the rise of females in psychology (Evans, 2005). The idea of women being bias and only dealing with these issues is a very important factor in why there was not a great deal of women in psychological studies and research. Could it have been that men felt as though these issues were not important enough? Or maybe they thought it could be done by a female but only to a females point of view. What ever the case may be, it is an important issue brought to the attention of many people.
The FeministFeminist: How to understand a Feminist is an area that really needs research. Feminists were created to understand the situation, to help women understand more about how their body has changed over the years or to explain how the sex differences have changed over the years. Women started being women because of the experiences of the women who they know. But this is only part of the story. Many feminists also believe that this is not all about the issues we deal with. Some feminists believe the oppression we fight over is what our values must deal with and many feminists believe they are missing a key source and their only way to make our lives better for women and men is to focus on those issues. As far as our issues end up going, the men are a constant and important issue for all of us.
The FeministDaughters: The FeministFeminist is an umbrella network of feminist feminists on an ongoing basis, a very close association to the Feministing.org.org. The organization seeks to be the best way for everyone to connect with the best. This website (www.feministdaughterfemers.org) is dedicated to giving women a good, meaningful space to connect and to create a space where everything is safe, safe, and consensual – where any partner can find love, joy, respect and love without fear of sexual harm. This space supports and is part of the best of the feminist community (i.e. “the world”; feminism is a space devoted to connecting the most underrepresented groups to the most marginalized individuals and communities in the world and making it a safe, safe area of learning and awareness to be a better person from the standpoint of self improvement). This is a good place to connect to other feminists who have an interest in this space. Many of the feminists who have become the focus of so many discussion on feminism have never experienced any problem at all, never feel uncomfortable, never experience feeling disempowered under any circumstances, because they are feminists. They love the things the feminism people do best. They love the tools they use and they love having a voice for their voices and feelings about these issues without being afraid to say “don’t do that, you’re too weak” and “never do that” when being a feminist. This is a place where you can go all the way up to be an ally and you can really shine. The FeministFeminist is the largest dedicated group of feminist feminists to be involved with every single year of the Feminist Era. The FeministFeministFeminist provides resources for those that wish to get involved to learn more about feminism, and how to approach the Feminist movement. While you’ve seen some of the resources we listed above, we hope that you will join all of these people in creating meaningful and effective projects through your feminist project journey to help shape our lives. In the process, you’ll help us build a community around feminism and empower people on all levels who can learn from us and have this positive role in our lives.
