Praeger Handbook on Understanding and Preventing Workplace Discrimination
This comprehensive, two-volume handbook compiles the current case law, management practices, and social science research on workplace discrimination, including federal- and state-protected categories. Despite guidelines for investigating complaints of discrimination and establishing preventative measures, statistics indicate that employers may not be properly implementing antidiscrimination laws in their organizations. The Praeger Handbook on Understanding and Preventing Workplace Discrimination was written to provide companies with the necessary toolkits to prevent all types of discrimination in the workplace-and to deal with them if and when they occur. This two-volume handbook offers employers a comprehensive approach to understanding, preventing, and dealing with hostile work environments through an integrated model that encompasses legal responsibilities, management theories and practice, and social science research. Volume one provides an overview of workplace discrimination through an examination of federally protected categories, such as age, disability, equal compensation, national origin, pregnancy, race/color, religion, sex, and sexual harassment. Volume two offers strategies related to \"reasonable care\" in terms of preventing workplace discrimination through policies, procedures, and training programs.

A comparison of in-class and online quizzes on student exam performance
THIS STUDY evaluated the use of Web-based assessment in the instruction of students enrolled in a Theories of Personality class. During 1999, we compared 297 undergraduates who took online quizzes with 291 undergraduates who took traditional paper-and-pencil quizzes. All online quizzes were generated and maintained by the class instructor using Mallard (an asynchronous Web-based assessment program), which allowed students to choose when, where, and how long to work on their quizzes. Mallard students performed significantly better on achievement criteria (four inclass exams) than non-Mallard students. Survey data indicated that most students reported being \"very satisfied\" with Mallard. These findings followed similar trends in other forms of computer-assisted instruction. Future research and potential pedagogical applications of Web-based assessment are discussed. Despite the initial time investment required to generate online quizzes with Mallard, student and instructor experiences with the program suggest that it is a promising technology for enhancing instruction in higher education.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Contrapower sexual harassment: A Survey of students and Faculty members
We conducted two studies to shed light on contrapower sexual harassment in an academic setting. In the first study, we surveyed a random sample of 158 college students (83.4% White) concerning their potentially sexually harassing behaviors toward professors, sexist attitudes toward women, and proclivities to harass sexually. Almost one third of the students reported having sexually harassed a professor at least once. Male students were more likely than female students to be the perpetrators. In the second study, all tenured and tenure-track faculty were mailed a survey; 209 professors (88.9% White) completed the survey concerning their experiences with sexual harassment from students as well as their coping responses, definitions of sexual harassment, and reactions to hypothetical scenarios. Over one half of the professors reported having been at least once sexually harassed by students. Although male and female professors experienced similar rates of sexual harassment from students, the psychological outcome was worse for women than for men. Male and female professors defined sexual harassment similarly. However, when more contextual information was provided in the hypothetical scenarios, several gender differences emerged. In addition, men and women used both internal and external coping responses to different types of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment as both a tool and a result of male dominance in society is discussed.

The Sexual Harrassment of Faculty Members by Students
Sexual harassment by college students toward faculty members at a midwestern university was investigated using modified versions of the Sexual Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ) developed by L. Fitzgerald & colleagues (1995). The SEQ measures three major constructs of sexual harassment: gender harassment, sexual coercion (bribery), & unwanted sexual attention. The student version of the SEQ was completed by 359 college students (85% white); 102 faculty members (92% white) completed the faculty version. Female faculty reported experiencing significantly more unwanted sexual attention from students & were more bothered by it than male faculty. While the frequency of gender harassment did not differ significantly between male & female faculty, the latter were significantly more bothered by it than the former. Concerning students' responses to the SEQ, there were no significant gender differences. Sexual harassment as both a tool & a result of male dominance in society is discussed. 3 Tables, 29 References. Adapted from the source document.
