E N D
Why Women? • Women as a Vulnerable Population • Gender and Household Division of Labor • Gendered Response to Risk
Why Trust • Rousseau, et al (1998) “Trust is a psychological state comprising the intention to accept vulnerability based upon positive expectations of the intentions of behavior of another” • Frewer, et al (1998) notes the level of trust one has towards a particular organization can affect on how individuals analyze risk
Metlay: Two dimensional model of Trust Competence: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means not at all competent in dealing with hurricanes and their effect on residents, and 10 means completely competent, please rate each of the following… Preparedness: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means not at all prepared to provide disaster relief following a hurricane, and 10 means completely prepared, please rate each of the following… Integrity Credibility: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 means not at all believable and 10 means completely believable, please rate each of the following:ed, please rate each of the following… • Local Fire Department • Local Police Department • Local Rescue/Ambulance Agency
Education (Class) & Trust • Yamagishi (2001) notes that individuals with more formal education demonstrate higher levels of trust • 1: Up to HS/GED • 2: Some post-HS • 3: College or More
Class Hypotheses • H1: Women with more education will have higher levels of competence-based trust than women with less education • H2: Women with more education will have higher levels of integrity-based trust than women with less education
Race & Trust • Tyler (2001) He argues that “quality of treatment” such as being treated justly or fairly will impact an individual’s trust in that organization.
Race Hypotheses: (The Kanye Hypothesis) • H3:White women will have higher levels of integrity-based trust than Black women • H4: White women will have higher levels of integrity-based trust than Hispanic women • H5: White women will have higher levels of competence-based trust Black women • H6: White women will have higher levels of competence-based trust than Hispanic Women
An Intersectionality Approach • Crenshaw (1994) an interdisciplinary theoretical framework focused on the intersection of identity categories such as race and gender • Browne and Misra (2003): Race is ‘gendered’ and gender is ‘racialized’ • Enarson, Fothergill and Peck (2006): disaster research is rarely specifically focused on the intersection of race, class and gender
Intersectionality Hypotheses • H7: As education increases, all women, regardless of race, show similar levels of competency based trust • H8: As education increases, all women, regardless of race, show similar levels of integrity based trust.
Data: Sampling • Surveys administered September 13-27, 2006 • Survey Sampling International, online • Database of 18000 clients, restricted to registered addresses with zip codes in hurricane-threatened counties of Florida or Texas • Either on the Gulf Coast or 1-2 counties removed • Average: 35 minutes • Median: 24 minutes • Compensation: $2.50, chance for $5000
