However, few systematic studies to date have been conducted on the prevalence and types of sexism that Vietnamese women experience. This cross-sectional exploratory study seeks to inquire into women's experiences of sexism in the STEM field and its potential associations with mental health outcomes through the lens of ambivalent sexism theory, which categorizes sexism as <em>benevolent</em> and <em>hostile.</em> Vietnamese women employed in STEM <em>(N</em> = 148) completed online questionnaires assessing experiences of ambivalent sexism, perceived stress and perceived sexism, stress symptoms, depression, and anxiety. The results indicate that benevolent sexism is more common than hostile sexism and that younger women are more frequently targeted. Correlation and regression analyses indicate that benevolent and hostile sexism are positively correlated with women's mental health problems. The findings highlight that despite the gains made in workplace gender equality in Vietnam, sexism continues to pose a problem for women's career development in STEM as well as potential health and safety issues. The study concludes with measures that organizations can undertake to tackle the problem and recommendations for future research in Vietnam to build on this exploratory inquiry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

To fill the gap, we carried out a meta-analytic review of the literature by including 78 studies published between 2009 and September 2022. In our meta-analyses, we explored the association between social media use (time spent on using social media, active and passive use, communication, problematic use, social comparison, and other positive and negative experiences) and well-being (conceptualized as hedonic, eudaimonic, social, and other positive indices). Hedonic well-being, i.e., experiencing positive emotions and life satisfaction, was associated with social media communication (r=0.11) and positive online experiences (r=0.21) and negatively with problematic social media use (r=−0.13) and social comparison on social media (r=−0.30). Eudaimonic well-being, i.e., a sense of purpose and meaning, was only negatively related to problematic social media use (r=−0.26). Social well-being was positively related to social media time (r=0.07) and social media communication (r=0.18). Also, overall measures of positive well-being were associated with active social media use (r=0.08), communication through social media (r=0.12), number of friends (r=0.14), social media intensity (r=0.21), and other positive experiences (r=0.19). Conversely, social media comparison (r=−0.30) and problematic social media use (r=−0.13) showed negative correlations with positive well-being. The analyses add to our understanding of how social media may contribute to ill-being and well-being by disentangling positive from negative effects, and pave the way for interventions aiming at using social media to improve well-being.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.

The study hypothesizes that women across Afghanistan from diverse sectors, both formal and informal, are negatively affected by the imposed restrictions, and that it impacts their participation in the workforce, their mental health, and their overall living conditions. The analysis within this paper is based on 124 Key Informative Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), which included 33 men and 154 women across six geographic regions of Afghanistan. The findings suggest that within formal and informal job sectors, women have felt a significant disconnect from the market and the community in which they were once thriving, and as a result have experienced worsened living conditions and diminished social status. The paper discusses the significance of women’s participation in the workforce and the positive and meaningful impact women can bring to their communities; highlighting women’s frustration and documenting firsthand accounts of women’s experiences in this new socio-political landscape.

The primary objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential stressors and traumatic experiences encountered by these individuals, encompassing both psychological and physiological dimensions, while also examining the dynamics of resilience and elements contributing to their overall well-being. The findings, derived through thematic content analysis, underscore the cumulative nature of traumatic events experienced by migrants throughout their lifetimes and across various stages of the migration continuum. The study, in alignment with extant scholarly literature, identifies thematic categories such as “A scenario of conflict and mourning, \" everyday experience of violence and discrimination,” “health at risk”, and \" Seeking security.” Refugees recount enduring multiple traumas, including familial bereavements and losses resulting from conflicts and militarized violence. Furthermore, the analysis elucidates a profound interplay between traumatic occurrences, subjective well-being, and resilience among the studied population. Despite confronting adverse living circumstances, refugees demonstrate indicators of subjective well-being, hinting at the potential for resilience and recovery. This challenges conventional diagnostic frameworks such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and underscores the necessity for a nuanced understanding of trauma's multifaceted impacts. Nevertheless, the study underscores the urgent need for a more robust and contextually attuned mental health support infrastructure, advocating for a deeper exploration of the socio-political determinants underpinning forced migration. By comprehending the root causes of displacement through a socio-political lens, policymakers and practitioners can devise comprehensive strategies and interventions aimed at both prevention and mitigation of factors precipitating forced migration. This approach seeks to foster a global landscape wherein compassionate and well-informed interventions proactively address the underlying drivers of displacement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74861,"journal":{"name":"SSM.
