Opis

A scholarly examination of the problem of gender inequity in the information age. It begins with an analysis of how girls develop computer anxiety in the early school years and explores psychological factors to highlight some of the underlying reasons why the current gender inequalities exist. The psychological factors proposed underlie girls' and women's failure to realize their full computing potential.

Communication Yearbook 27 is devoted to publishing state-of-the-art literature reviews in which authors critique and synthesize a body of communication research. This volume continues the tradition of publishing critical, integrative reviews of specific lines of research. Chapters focus on an organizational communication challenge to the discourse of work and family research; recovering women's voice; empowerment and communication; participatory communication for social change; and the problematics of dialogue and power. In addition, chapters discuss the megaphone effect; the effects of television on group vitality; the empowerment of feminist scholarship in public relations and the building of a feminist paradigm; control, resistance, and empowerment in raced, gendered, and classed work contexts; credibility for the 21st century; and communicating disability.
