Background/Aims Men with depression often experience stigmatising attitudes from the general public, which can cause distress and affect their help-seeking behaviours. This study aims to expand the research on public stigma by exploring public attitudes towards men with depression. Methods Five women and two men who had not experienced depression personally were recruited to this study and took part in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse their data. Results The main themes that emerged concerned awareness, depression as a gendered phenomenon and the generational divide. The participants conveyed that older generations exhibit greater stigmatising attitudes, that awareness in men's experience of depression is lacking and that public stigma is intrinsically linked to societal expectations of how a man should behave. Conclusions These themes highlight areas for further research, and the themes that have been identified should be taken into consideration when creating destigmatisation materials aimed at the general public.

            The proposed activity involves showing a relevant video immediately prior to the beginning of class. This activity may prove beneficial to both the instructor (reducing the generational divide and reducing interactional awkwardness) and for students (building community and student engagement). This activity is particularly appealing for younger generational cohorts in courses throughout higher education.

Hip-hop culture has been an influential force on a large segment of this generation’s teachers and a tool for building relationships with students. The contemporary hip-hop of today’s generation differs from that of many hip-hop educators/pedagogues. This case study explored how one hip-hop generation teacher attempted to cross this generational divide rather than discount youth culture in the classroom. The findings of this study focus on how the teacher’s personal identification with hip-hop culture informed his relationships with students and how he drew from key narratives and ideas in hip-hop to communicate his views of his classroom community.

Abstract. The present study extends research on tattoos and employment suitability by examining the extent to which the effects of tattoos on perceived competence and hiring recommendations are contingent upon the generational cohort of hiring managers, tattoo content, and candidate gender. Respondents evaluated hypothetical candidates in a between-subjects design framework. The results demonstrated that candidates with light (more innocent) tattoos were rated lower in perceived competence than candidates with dark (more threatening) tattoos or no tattoos. Regarding hiring recommendations, there were more nuances. Millennial hiring managers viewed candidates with light tattoos more positively than did older managers, and this generational difference was more pronounced for male candidates. Moreover, older hiring managers viewed male candidates with no tattoos more positively than millennials.

Workforce demographics have changed, and business leaders have started to question how to handle employees from different generations. With the noticeable generational divide, the issue of generational conflict is gaining prominence. Generational disagreement among employees is not new as each generation is shaped by different historical, socio-economic, and political events where each generation brings with them their unique perspective. Leaders in most organizations are aware of it, albeit few are willing to address such conflicts. Even if they do, uncertainties arise. These differences, or their unique generational characteristics, are due to the exposure to historical events during their early years. As most literature stems from the West and the historical events that happened are different, their characteristics may differ in terms of geography. An in-depth and practical understanding of generational dynamics could enhance the effectiveness of management in handling today’s multi-generational workforce. Hence, this research aims to provide insights into the characteristics of Malaysian Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y who are working locally and comparing them with the West.
