Storycorps Memory Loss Initiative: Enhancing Personhood For Storytellers With Memory Loss, Marie Savundranayagam, L. Dilley, A. Basting
Marie Y Savundranayagam
StoryCorps’ Memory Loss Initiative was designed to gather oral histories of people with memory loss. This study investigated the StoryCorps interview experience for storytellers who self identify with early stage memory loss and the persons who interviewed them. StoryCorps interviews took place in Milwaukee, Chicago, and New York. Follow-up interviews were conducted with 42 persons with memory loss, along with 27 family members who participated in the StoryCorps interviews. Results revealed that the StoryCorps experience was a meaningful activity that allowed participants to acknowledge the beauty of the present moment, to reflect and engage in meaningful conversations, to re-affirm both …

The Mordida´S Game: How Institutions Incentive Corruption, Rodolfo Sarsfield
Rodolfo Sarsfield
The study at micro level about in which way individuals’ micro-motives and behaviors influence on an effective rule of law is a deficit in the literature. The analysis of the microfoundations of the law ´s empire is absent in the field of legal studies. In this way, most explanations presented to elucidate the performance of the rule of law has been presented at macro level, emulating properties of countries, such as wealth (Barro 2000; Joireman 2004), ethnic fragmentation (Hayo and Voigt 2005; Hansson and Olsson 2006), religion (Barro 2000; Hayo and Voigt 2005), British legal or colonial tradition (Blake and …
The Power Of ‘We’: Effects Of Psychological Collectivism On Team Performance Over Time., Erich Dierdorff, Suzanne Bell, James Belohlav
The Power Of ‘We’: Effects Of Psychological Collectivism On Team Performance Over Time., Erich Dierdorff, Suzanne Bell, James Belohlav
Erich C. Dierdorff
We examined the influences of different facets of psychological collectivism (Preference, Reliance, Concern, Norm Acceptance, and Goal Priority) on team functioning at 3 different performance depictions: initial team performance, end-state team performance, and team performance change over time. We also tested the extent to which team-member exchange moderated the relationships between facets of psychological collectivism and performance change over time. Results from multilevel growth modeling of 66 teams (N = 264) engaged in a business simulation revealed differential effects across facets of psychological collectivism and across different performance measurements. Whereas facets concerned with affiliation (Preference and Concern) were positively related …
Racial Differences In Multigenerational Living Arrangements In 1910, Cheryl Elman, Andrew London
Racial Differences In Multigenerational Living Arrangements In 1910, Cheryl Elman, Andrew London
Cheryl Elman
We explore racial differences in multigenerational living arrangements in 1910, focusing on trigenerational kin structures. Coresidence across generations represents a public function of the family, and we observe this across different ages or life-course stages through which adults came to be at risk for providing simultaneous household support for multiple generations of kin dependents. Using data from the 1.4 percent 1910 Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample, our comparisons adjust for marital turnover, including widow(er)hood/divorce and remarriage, as rates are known to be historically higher among African Americans in this period. Across subgroups defined by age and sex, we find that …
Fair Trade And Fair Trade Certification Of Food And Agricultural Commodities: Promises, Pitfalls, And Possibilities, Sarasij Majumder
Fair Trade And Fair Trade Certification Of Food And Agricultural Commodities: Promises, Pitfalls, And Possibilities, Sarasij Majumder
Sarasij Majumder
The global circulation of food and agricultural commodities is increasingly influenced by the ethical choices of Western consumers and activists who want to see a socially and environmentally sustainable trade regime in place. These desires have culminated in the formation of an elaborate system of rules, which govern the physical and social conditions of food production and circulation, reflected in transnational ethical regimes such as fair trade. Fair trade operates through certifying producer communities with sustainable production methods and socially just production relationships. By examining interdisciplinary academic engagements with fair trade, we argue that fair trade certification is a transnational …

This research sought to determine the effectiveness of a structured performance evaluation for facilitators and the correlation to student satisfaction.
Moderating Influence Of Gender On The Link Of Spiritual And Emotional Intelligences With Mental Health Among Adolescents, Siti Hassan
Siti Aishah Hassan Ph.D.
This study examined whether, Spiritual Intelligence (SI) and Emotional Intelligence (EI) can be considered as predictor for Mental Health (MH). Also, this study explored the moderating effects of gender on the link between SI and EI with MH among high school students. The participants in the study were 247 high school students, (124 male and 123 female, in the age range between 14-17 years old) at the Gorgan City, north of Iran. The research design was an ex post facto and tested the alternative hypotheses. Three valid and reliable instruments were used to assess SI, EI and MH. Descriptive statistics, …

Predictors Of Engagement In Acts Of Conflict And Aggression Among The General Public., David May, Nathan Lowe
Predictors Of Engagement In Acts Of Conflict And Aggression Among The General Public., David May, Nathan Lowe
David May
The purpose of this article is to use empirical research and theory to investigate the context that may provoke individuals to engage in acts of conflict and aggression. A random sample of the general public from a midsouthern state was surveyed to explore this inquiry. Respondents were asked to indicate their level of reaction to a number of situations that often lead people to engage in conflict and/or aggression with other people. Several sociodemographic factors served as control variables in the study. The findings of the Pearson product–moment correlations suggest that respondents were more likely to report that they would …
Immigration: The New American Dilemma, Roger Waldinger
Immigration: The New American Dilemma, Roger Waldinger
Roger D Waldinger
The American dilemma was once distinctively American, rooted in the distinctive history of the United States and involving a conflict between liberal principles and exclusionary practice. The contemporary American dilemma takes a different form, arising from the challenges that emerge when international migration confronts the liberal nation-state. The solution to the earlier dilemma sought to extend and deepen citizenship so that it would be fully shared by all Americans. However, that more robust citizenship is only for the Americans, who alone can cross U.S. borders as they please. Consequently, rights stop at the national boundary, where the admission of foreigners …

Academic Faculty Working In University Research Centers: Neither Capitalism's Slaves Nor Teaching Fugitives, Barry Bozeman, Craig Boardman
Academic Faculty Working In University Research Centers: Neither Capitalism's Slaves Nor Teaching Fugitives, Barry Bozeman, Craig Boardman
Craig Boardman
The literature on university-industry interactions is bifurcated, with some authors characterizing these interactions as beneficial to economic development and technology transfer and other authors characterizing them as disruptive and harmful to traditional university missions, especially education. While both views may be correct, the extent to which university-industry interactions affect universities’ traditional research and educational missions remains a question that is largely unaddressed empirically. This study is one of the first to use data to address university-industry interactions from both perspectives. The data combine survey and institutional data to compare academic faculty working in both university research centers and university departments …

Experimental Evidence On The Effect Of Childhood Investments On Postsecondary Attainment And Degree Completion, Susan Dynarski, Joshua Hyman, Diane Schanzenbach
Experimental Evidence On The Effect Of Childhood Investments On Postsecondary Attainment And Degree Completion, Susan Dynarski, Joshua Hyman, Diane Schanzenbach
Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach
This paper examines the effect of early childhood investments on college enrollment and degree completion. We use the random assignment in the Project STAR experiment to estimate the effect of smaller classes in primary school on college entry, college choice, and degree completion. We improve on existing work in this area with unusually detailed data on college enrollment spells and the previously unexplored outcome of college degree completion. We find that assignment to a small class increases the probability of attending college by 2.7 percentage points, with effects more than twice as large among blacks. Among those with the lowest …

Expanding The Toolbox: Comparative-Historical Methodology Looks To The Future, Mikaila Arthur
Expanding The Toolbox: Comparative-Historical Methodology Looks To The Future, Mikaila Arthur
Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur
Comparative-historical research methods are often seen as the providence of old-fashioned researchers interested only in long-ago times, and students learning about research methods can pass through their methods courses with negligible exposure to the concepts and techniques of comparative-historical research. Yet these methods have much to offer sociologists of all stripes. This paper introduces the key assumptions of comparative-historical methodology and outlines several key approaches to comparative-historical scholarship, including historiography, large-N comparative scholarship, negative case methods, and formal methods. It then considers the critiques of comparative-historical methods that have come from both positivist and interpretivist schools of researchers. Finally, it …

Object Associations Of Early-Learned "Light" And "Heavy" English Verbs, Josita Maouene, Aarre Laakso, Linda Smith
Object Associations Of Early-Learned "Light" And "Heavy" English Verbs, Josita Maouene, Aarre Laakso, Linda Smith
Josita C Maouene
Many of the verbs that young children learn early have been characterized as ‘light.’ However, there is no agreed upon definition of ‘lightness’ and no useable metric that could be applied to a wide array of verbs. This article provides evidence for one metric by which the ‘lightness’ of early-learned verbs might be measured: the number of objects with which they are associated (in adult judgment) or co-occur (in speech to and by children). The results suggest that early-learned light verbs and heavy verbs differ in the breadth of the objects they are associated with: light verbs have weak associations …

Institutional Repositories At Small Institutions In America: Some Current Trends, Melissa Nykanen
Institutional Repositories At Small Institutions In America: Some Current Trends, Melissa Nykanen
Melissa Nykanen
The research reported in this article was undertaken to determine the level of implementation of institutional repositories (IRs) at small institutions enrolling fewer than 10,000 students. The study analyzed quantitative and qualitative data from IRs at a number of small institutions with the aim of observing relevant patterns and trends that may or may not be unique to small institutions. The study concludes that IRs at small institutions exist in significant numbers, and they exhibit some unique patterns, particularly in the benefits and challenges specific to small institutions, the association with IR consortia, and the focus on student research.
