Uncovering the Secrets of Blue Zones: The Keys to Longevity and Procreative Success

SOCIAL PSYC CLASS (chapter 4 reading) Week 3 Discussion: Cognitive Dissonance First one The authors investigate what determines differences in change in pay between men and women executives who move to new employers. Using proprietary data of 2,034 executive placements from a global search firm, the authors observe harrower pay differences between men and women after job moves. The unconditional gap shrinks from 21.5% in the prior employer to 15% in the new employer. This change reflects a relative increase in performance-based compensation for women and a lower level of unexplained pay inequality generally in external placements. Controlling for individual fixed effects, observed women have higher pay raises then do men. Finally, the authors find suggestive evidence that pay differences may also be moderated by differences in the supply and demand for women executives. They found that following an external job move, women receive higher raises then do their male counterparts, thereby reducing pay inequality. Two factors that underlie this change is residual pay inequality was smaller at the new employer relative to the old. Secondly, increased at-risk performance- based pay for women in the new positions contributed to narrowing pay differences between men and women. However, women contributed to earn lower performance-based pay than men after the move. Second one I found AN article on Gender dysphoria, and  how there are systemic issues surrounfog What GD implies. Incase you do not know what gender dysphoria is, i will explain it.  Gender Dysphoria as it staes in the DSM- T5-R is clinically significant distress or impairment related to gender incongruence, which may include desire to change primary and/or secondary sex characteristics. this can mean that a person may want to change pronouns from he/him to she/ her or the more common They/them.  in the article  "What is Gender Dysphoria? A Critcal  Systemic narrative review. it speaks on how most doctore in the psych field mist diagnose most patients. in the arrticle in the introduction" The DSM-IV’s5 diagnosis of GID assumes that diverse gender identities are inherently disordered and consequently perceived by many to be stigmatizing." (Davy, Toze 2018) . The article is a systemic review, and the aim is to figure out what the correct  diagnosis is for GD. what the authors did was take a look at how valid and thorough the investigation of articles ands findings are to match criteria of the DSM- 5 TR and if not it is considered invalid.  The authors used a narrative approach, in which they  were trying to find out what was the way that GD was used in samples, artifacts , policies etc etc.  I think that GD is too broad to be analyzed as a clinical diagnosis, and that certain criteria does not fit.  i agree with most finding about GD in this article.   CULTURAL PSYCH CLASS chapter 3-6 reading Week 4 Discussion 1: blue zones 100 minimum First
