Kvinders personlighedsstrategier overfor mandlig dominans

Abstract

The major part of this paper is an outline of a model of three personality strategies in women against male dominance. The model suggests that the three personality strategies are universal personality reactions to societal oppression with a feminine content and course. Male dominance is regarded as a major interpersonal factor in transmitting societal oppression of women to the personalities of girls and women. The model is advanced as a result of a theoretical study of six theories of personality in which the three personality strategies are found in similar forms, but with different assessment of desirability. The basic assumptions and the scientific method of the theoretical study are based on the theory of activity (Benny Karpatschof, University of Copenhagen) as described in the paper.
