STEP 1. I will be working with Outlook of Life data set. I have decided that I am particularly interested in women’s outlook.

STEP 2. My  specific topics of interest are:

  • gender equality
  • leadership positions in government go to women,
  • women to become members of the clergy
  • How concerned are you personally about women’s rights
  • Discrimination against women is no longer a problem in the U.S

 

STEP 3. I have prepared my own codebook  (I copy screen and paste into a new document) from the larger codebook that includes the questions/items/variables that will help support my  topic.)

Category 1:’W1_J1_D’ Require that an equal number of the top leadership positions in government go to women”

“Category 2: ‘W1_M4’
Churches or places of worship should allow more women to become members of the clergy.”

“Category 3: ‘W2_QF9’ How concerned are you personally about women’s rights?”

“Category 4: ‘W2_QH1’ Discrimination against women is no longer a problem in the U.S”

STEP 4

While these questions by show the level of awareness of womens issue I am particularly interested to see if there is a connection between them and if the data between them is related.

For example: if the women’s leadership positions is problem of the society expectation or it is internal personal problem.

STEP 5

I included variables that will show this connection (if any). For example Category 3 and Category 4 question.

STEP 6

They are multiple stidies to support the thesis that:

Self-esteem, family socioeconomic support or prevent leader advancement . Using a nationally representative sample from the U.S. with 1747 working individuals across a time span of 10 years, we found that 1) self-esteem had a significant and positive influence on leadership role occupancy for both males and females and on leadership advancement in terms of supervisory scope over time for females; and 2) family socioeconomic status exerted an adverse effect on female leadership advancement.

STEP 7

Based on your literature review, I believe that social and internal factory together shape the expectations and prospects for women.
