Triple Bind

First: Girls must still be "all girl"


Second: Must now be "all boy"


Third: Must do so while looking 'hot', constant pressure for perfection; no real alternatives

First prong of triple bind

Girls must still be "all girl"; if you're a girl you must be kind, nurturing, empathic. Not much has changed here for many millennia

Second prong of triple bind

Girls must now be 'all boy"; now must be competitive, all A's, sports; how to do so while being nursing too? BFF while winning?

Third prong of triple bind

Girls must do all this while looking "hot", constant pressure for perfection, no real alternatives, not just good enough to excel (e.g. athletes), alternative rockers vs. the headline girls; must look effortless!

Consequences of triple bind

-internalization


-learned helplessness


-true self vs false self


-interaction with media pressures (rumination of permanent records of failures), lack of sleep

false self

"i've got to be a doctor because my parents expect me to..."


-creation of false self

Lack of sleep consequences -Walker/Carskadon

-natural delayed onset of sleep at/after puberty


-early school hours exacerbate



Consequences of sleep deprivation

inability to consolidate memory


inability to suppress negative affect, mediated by inability of PFC to inhibit "emotional brain"


-fMRI investigations, paralleling sleep deprivation studies

men in swimsuit doing math: slightly better performance; women much worse

APA Task Force on Sexualization of Girls/Women

Protective factors of triple bind

-general realization of binds girls are in
