Abstract:

This research is a meta-analysis of gender difference in risk behavior. The research examines 15 individual publications and 5 meta-analysis studies dealing with general difference in risk behavior. This paper attempts to answer the questions of “whether gender difference in risk taking behavior exists? If so, whether male and female entrepreneurs would behave differently as business owners? In prior studies, the answers to these questions had been inconclusive. The objective of this research is to reconcile conflicting results of the current literature on gender difference in risk behav

Abstract:

This study analyses the role of risk attitude for entrepreneurship by gender differences in Kyrgyzstan. Logit analysis is applied to the cross-sectional data set drawn from the nationally representative survey for 2011. Entrepreneurship is measured by the self-employment activities and analysed by the agricultural and non-agricultural sample. Results of the study show that more risk-taking preferences are associated with higher entrepreneurship probability. However, this effect is not persistent for women in further estimations for non-agricultural entrepreneurship sample, while for men higher

Although research over the past few decades has illustrated that gender is a significant predictor of victimization, there has been less attention toward explaining these differences. Furthermore, there has been little attention given to how offending and other deviant behaviors contribute to victimization risk for males and females. This is surprising considering that offending, particularly violent behavior, is highly correlated with victimization risk and that males are more likely to offend than females.

Abstract:

Environmental issues require immediate attention and commitment from individuals, communities, and institutions. Universities have a crucial role in fostering a pro-environmental mindset among students. The extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) helps understand pro-environmental intentions and actions by considering factors such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, trust, and risk perception. This study explores the role of gender in pro-environmental behaviors using the TPB framework. We explored gender differences and variations in the responses. Using a gender le

Abstract:

There are about 200 million people on the move in the world, and approximately 50% of them are women. There are no clear migration plans for women leaving as a result of persecution, war, famine, climatic disasters or moving away from contexts of external abuse and even intrafamily violence. Gender-related violence, to which women are exposed in cultural contexts characterized by a patriarchal social organization, is manifested through different ways including, but not limited to, early marriages and genital mutilation, with reproductive health already being seriously impaired at an early age.

Abstract:

Adolescence is a period of accelerated growth and change, bridging the complex transition from childhood to adulthood. This period offers adolescents an opportunity to begin planning for their futures and to adopt healthy attitudes about risk behaviors that can continue into adulthood, thus setting the stage for a lifetime of desirable health behaviors. This study used the Youth Risk Behavior Survey on middle school students and examined the gender differences of health risk behaviors among 674 8th-graders from an urban setting.
