Gender Microaggressions Scale
Gender-based microaggressions refer to the subtle and often unconscious verbal, behavioral, and/or environmental indignities directed towards women. These daily experiences of sexism can range from very subtle to more overt, as in sexual harassment or unwanted touching. Because gender microaggressions cover a spectrum of experiences, a deeper understanding of this complex construct is needed. The purpose of the present study was to create a scale to measure gender microaggressions experienced by women. To do this, two studies were completed. In study 1, an exploratory factor analysis with principal components analysis was conducted to narrow down the initial themes and potential scale items. In study 2, a confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to determine the number of factors to be retained. Nine factors yielded a fit for the final measurement model: 1) Silencing; 2) Sexual Objectification; 3) Assumption of Lower Status Profession; 4) Denial of Societal Sexism; 5) Media’s Influence on Appearance; 6) Assumption of Domesticity; 7) Assertiveness = Bitchiness; 8) Assumption of Marriage/Children; and 9) Assumption of Gender Stereotyped Knowledge/Interests. Implications for counseling and future research directions are discussed.

Our second Women in STEM presentation will be delivered by Dr. Shana Caro (Columbia University)!
It’s been a tumultuous couple of years, but I’m a little bit older, yet a little bit ahead of the game.
For this upcoming year, I’m proud to host the Women in STEM Science Colloquium series.
Our first presenter will be by Dr. Allie Brashears (CUNY LaGuardia Community College).
‘From Calories to Color – How Energy Drives Evolution’
Evolution acts on all life. The elegance of evolutionary theory lies in its ability to explain life’s magnificent diversity, from prehensile elephant trunks to furry beetle legs, in terms of the simple idea of differential reproductive success – or making more babies that survive than your neighbor. Yet reproduction takes energy, and especially for heterotrophs like animals, the ways in which they gain, lose, and spend energy can mean the difference between life and death, and thus fundamentally shape their behavior and physiology. My research questions focus on understanding these energetic interactions between animals and their environments, with the aim of providing insight into the mechanisms of evolution.
When: Tuesday, January 30th
Where: 325 Hudson St., 3rd Floor Multipurpose Room
Time: 5-6PM
Thanks to Chris Paparo (Marine Sciences Center Manager at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences of SUNY Stony Brook Southampton) who invited me to speak at their seminar series last Friday evening on March 4th. Chris was a great host, and ultimately took me down memory lane with a tour of the old campus, and trading throwback stories of the good ol’days. Thanks to everybody who braved the questionable weather to come out and see my talk!
