Resilient parenting: Overcoming poor parental bonding

Overcoming Gender Stereotypes

Across two experiments the present research examined the use of social-consensus feedback as a strategy for overcoming spontaneous gender stereotyping when certain social role nouns and professional terms are read. Participants were presented with word pairs comprising a role noun (e.g. surgeon) and a kinship term (e.g. mother), and asked to decide whether both terms could refer to the same per...

Highly Nonlinear Resilient Functions Optimizing Siegenthaler's Inequality

Siegenthaler proved that an n input 1 output, m-resilient (balanced mth order correlation immune) Boolean function with algebraic degree d satisfies the inequality : m + d ≤ n − 1. We provide a new construction method using a small set of recursive operations for a large class of highly nonlinear, resilient Boolean functions optimizing Siegenthaler’s inequality m + d = n − 1. Comparisons to pre...

Gender Inequality, Endogenous Cultural Norms and Economic Development

This research focuses on the role played by cultural norms in the long run persistence of gender inequalities. Cultural norms about gender roles are considered to be endogenous and can generate gender inequality and low development traps. Indeed, when the gender gap is internalized, it leads to inegalitarian views about gender roles. Due to these inegalitarian beliefs, boys receive more educati...
