Dissertation Research: Gender and Household Economy in the Dominican Republic

埃默里大学文化人类学学生的这篇论文研究项目将研究多米尼加共和国工人阶级社区的男性性别观点。尽管多米尼加的艾滋病毒感染率相对较高，但公共卫生调查显示，多米尼加妇女将高风险行为归因于其伴侣的期望。 该项目将研究男子如何看待他们的男子气概、性行为和家庭责任规范。通过结合人口统计调查约500户，结构化访谈约300名男子在两个类别，艾滋病毒感染者，和邻里居民，行为风险评估和密集的人种学访谈，学生（西班牙语母语）将评估男性的男性气概和性决策的具体模式的规范模型之间的关系。学生将测试有关男性声誉和其他有关家庭资源和角色义务的行为的关系的各种假设。这些结果将是对现有的性别角色和性行为研究的重要补充，这些研究往往侧重于妇女的行为，并且应该对有兴趣设计有效的预防性病方案的公共卫生专家感兴趣。 ?什么？百分之一百 ¥©╣¢ ╣_║?你是谁？?你好10%

This dissertation research project by a cultural anthropology student at Emory University will study the gender perspectives of men in a working class neighborhood of the Dominican Republic. While the island suffers relatively high rates of HIV infection, public health surveys have shown that Dominican women attribute high risk behavior to their partner's expectations. This project will examine how men conceive of their norms of masculinity, sexuality and household responsibility. By combining demographic surveys of approximately 500 households, structured interviews with about 300 men in two categories, HIV infected, and neighborhood residents, behavioral risk assessment and intensive ethnographic interviewing, the student (a native Spanish speaker) will assess the relationship between men's normative models of masculinity and specific patterns of sexual decision-making. The student will test various hypotheses about the relation of masculine reputations and other behaviors concerning household resources and role obligations. The results will be an important complement to the existing studies of gender roles and sexuality which tend to focus on women's behavior, and should be of interest for public health specialists interested in designing effective programs to prevent STDs. ?┐╝ ,?┴%Á┤ÀÁ ? ¥©╣¢ ╣_║?╝¥/¥ ╝ÁÀ╣? ? ¥©Á ┴?╝%┤
