Ynical Hostility And Cardiovascular Reactivity During Self-Disclosure, Alan Christensen, T. Smith

Alan J. Christensen

Recent research suggests that hostility might contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) and other illnesses. One potential mechanism linking hostility and health is exaggerated physiological reactivity to social stressors. Given that mistrust and suspiciousness are closely related to this trait, the self-disclosure of personal information regarding a stressful experience may elicit heightened reactivity in hostile persons. To evaluate this hypothesis, undergraduate men (N = 60) classified as high or low on the Cook and Medley Hostility (Ho) Scale were randomly assigned to either a self-disclosure or a nondisclosure condition. Consistent with prediction, among subjects participating in the …

Industrial Structure, Campaign Contributions And Policy Outcomes. Dissertation, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

The study examines whether businesses in concentrated and/or highly regulated industries are more likely to make large campaign contributions in the attempt to reduce tax rates and increase retained earnings. While a number of studies have explored business-government relations, direct empirical explorations of the problem reported conflicting results. The diversity of results coupled with various explanations about the extent of business influence on public policy calls not only for further research, but also the use of alternative methodologies.

To this end, this study proposes a dual analytical framework based on contemporary theories of business power and political influence. The study …

Political Crime And Pedagogy: A Content Analysis Of Criminology And Criminal Justice Texts, Kenneth Tunnell

Kenneth Tunnell

A study examines the quantity and quality of coverage given by introductory criminology and criminal justice texts to political crime and criminals. Data were derived from a content analysis of 49 recent introductory textbooks. Criminal justice texts devoted only 7.83 pages of 15,112 total text pages (.051%) to political crime. Criminology texts devoted only 250.5 of 9,081 total pages (2.758%) and 6 of 305 chapters (1.96%) to this issue. The differences between criminology and criminal justice texts were statistically significant. Qualitatively, the most common form of political crime to appear in introductory texts was international terrorism. Assassinations and government corruption …

Political Crime In Contemporary America: A Critical Approach, Kenneth Tunnell

Kenneth Tunnell

Nine essays explore not only politically motivated crimes against the state, but also harmful acts committed by the government, a category usually omitted in discussions of political crime. Among the topics are social relationships that can be considered criminal but are legal, debunking the "pro-life" agenda, the role of the state in violence against women, and hate crimes and the far right.

Inside The Drug Trade: Trafficking From The Dealer's Perspective, Kenneth Tunnell

Kenneth Tunnell

Over the past decade drug laws have increased in number and in punishment severity. Prison sentences for drug trafficking have increased in length and greater numbers of individuals have been incarcerated for violating new, "get tough" drug policies. Yet, we know little about once-active drug traffickers who presently receive longer prison sentences than at any time previously. We know little about their trafficking networks, their modes of connecting with buyers and sellers of drugs, and how their drug use contributes to their dealing. To address these issues, a sample of incarcerated drug traffickers was selected and interviewed. The major findings …

Markdown Pricing And Cattle Supply In The Beef Packing Industry, Kyle Stiegert, Azzeddine Azzam, Wade Brorsen

Azzeddine Azzam

The authors determine the effect of anticipated and unanticipated cattle supply on the departure of fed cattle price from cattle's marginal value product. Results indicate fed cattle were priced significantly below their marginal value during thirty-one of the fifty-nine quarters between 1972 II and 1986 IV. When unanticipated supply shocks are small, markdown behavior is consistent with the hypothesis that packers follow an average processing cost pricing rule. One implication of the authors' results is that reducing industry concentration is not likely to lead to changes in cattle prices predicted by structure-conduct-performance-based studies of the industry.
