The Impact of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter Protests on Emerging Adults’ Views on Racism and Racial Identity
This study explored how the death of Mr. George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests that followed it influenced emerging adults’ views on racism and racial identity. A mixed-methods study consisting of open-ended and Likert items was used. Two major themes, developing racial awareness and negotiating positionality, described the processes of how Mr. Floyd’s death influenced emerging adults. Quantitative analyses revealed that most participa…

Political diversity in U.S. police agencies
Partisans are divided on policing policy, which may affect officer behavior. We merge rosters from 99 of the 100 largest local U.S. agencies—over one third of local law enforcement agents nationwide—with voter files to study police partisanship. Police skew more Republican than their jurisdictions, with notable exceptions. Using fine‐grained data in Chicago and Houston, we compare behavior of Democratic and Republican officers facing common circu…

Love me, love my dog
This research focused on the impact of having one or more dogs on romantic relationships among college-age cohabiting couples. One hundred and eighteen romantic cohabitants, among whom either or both partners had a dog, from three universities completed an anonymous, voluntary 41-item survey. Quantitative data included the bulk of the items analyzed using Version 25 of the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. Qualitative da…
Complex marital paradigms
Marital paradigm theory (MPT) asserts that societal and cultural norms and values contribute to marital beliefs. The current research examines a tenet of MPT that marital salience – a belief about the importance of getting married – and marital centrality – a belief about the importance or weight assigned to the spousal role once married – are related but distinct concepts such that individuals can diverge in their endorsement of each (for exampl…
Lovesick”
This research investigated the interpersonal impact of self-reported mental health diagnoses and/or perceptions on undergraduate students' current or most recent romantic relationship. Analysis of data from a 43-item online questionnaire completed by 267 undergraduates revealed that 68.3% of women and 52.5% of men reported having either been professionally diagnosed with a mental illness or perceive themselves to be mentally ill based on DSM crit…

Testing Causal Theories with Learned Proxies
Social scientists commonly use computational models to estimate proxies of unobserved concepts, then incorporate these proxies into subsequent tests of their theories. The consequences of this practice, which occurs in over two-thirds of recent computational work in political science, are underappreciated. Imperfect proxies can reflect noise and contamination from other concepts, producing biased point estimates and standard errors. We demonstrat…

The role of officer race and gender in police-civilian interactions in Chicago
Diversity in policing In the wake of high-profile police shootings of Black Americans, it is important to know whether the race and gender of officers and civilians affect their interactions. Ba et al. overcame previous data constraints and found that Hispanic and Black officers make far fewer stops and arrests and use force less than white officers, especially against Black civilians. These differences are largest in majority-Black neighborhoods…

A Dynamic Model of Speech for the Social Sciences
Speech and dialogue are the heart of politics: nearly every political institution in the world involves verbal communication. Yet vast literatures on political communication focus almost exclusively on what words were spoken, entirely ignoring how they were delivered-auditory cues that convey emotion, signal positions, and establish reputation. We develop a model that opens this information to principled statistical inquiry: the model of audio an…
Measuring the predictability of life outcomes with a scientific mass collaboration
How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life outcomes using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a high-quality birth cohort study. Despite using a rich dataset and applying machine-learning methods optimized for prediction, the best predictions were not very accurate and were only slightly…
Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease and Molybdenum in Colorado Watersheds
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental bacteria that may cause chronic lung disease. Environmental factors that favor NTM growth likely increase the risk of NTM exposure within specific environments. We aimed to identify water-quality constituents (Al, As, Cd, Ca, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, K, Se, Na, Zn, and pH) associated with NTM disease across Colorado watersheds. We conducted a geospatial, ecological study, associating data fro…
Alcohol consumption, substance use, and depression in relation to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) nonadherence among gay, bisexual, and other men-who-have-sex-with-men
Findings highlight the need to integrate alcohol- and substance-focused initiatives into PrEP care for gbMSM. Such initiatives, in turn, may help improve PrEP adherence and reduce the potential for HIV acquisition among this group
Young Adults’ Relationship Beliefs and Sexual Behavior
Administrative Records Mask Racially Biased Policing
Researchers often lack the necessary data to credibly estimate racial discrimination in policing. In particular, police administrative records lack information on civilians police observe but do not investigate. In this article, we show that if police racially discriminate when choosing whom to investigate, analyses using administrative records to estimate racial discrimination in police behavior are statistically biased, and many quantities of i…
Universality and diversity in human song
Cross-cultural analysis of song It is unclear whether there are universal patterns to music across cultures. Mehr et al. examined ethnographic data and observed music in every society sampled (see the Perspective by Fitch and Popescu). For songs specifically, three dimensions characterize more than 25% of the performances studied: formality of the performance, arousal level, and religiosity. There is more variation in musical behavior within soci…
I Thought You Loved Me too
As romantic relationships begin and evolve, it is sometimes the case that partners are discrepant in their attraction to, love for, and commitment to each other. Data were collected from 460 undergraduates who completed a 40 item Internet survey on the various types of discrepancies and outcomes for their respective relationships. Results revealed that half of participants had been in a discrepant relationship in which they were more attracted to…

Trends in Marital Happiness by Gender and Race, 1973 to 2006
This article uses data from the 1973-2006 General Social Survey to assess the interactive impact of race and gender on marital happiness over time. Findings indicate independent and significant effects for both variables, with Whites and husbands reporting greater marital happiness than Blacks and wives. Comparing four subgroups (White husbands, White wives, Black husbands, and Black wives), the authors find that White husbands report the highest…

Perceived relationship power in emerging adults’ romantic relationships
Power is an important element in dating relationships. Using the power within relationships theory and equity theory this research examined perceived relationship power in a sample of 1098 undergraduates at two universities. Three power profiles were identified based on whether the respondents reported having less power (10.8%), equal power (69.8%), or more power (19.4%) in their current relationship. Having equal or more power generally had posi…

The One-Child Family
How many children do we want? is a question most married couples ask. Current concerns about inflation, population, and the wife's career are causing young couples to reevaluate commonly held beliefs about which family size is best (Peck, 1971; Whelan, 1976). While most couples decide to have two children, a small but growing number remain childfree. About 10% choose the third alternative-to have one child (General Social Science Survey, Note 1; …
The Differences between Having One and Two Children
Young mothers of two children responded to a 49 item questionnaire designed to assess their motivations for and consequences (personal and marital) of having a second child. Results indicated that while the impact of the first child was greater than the second, the latter involved less time for self, more work, more noise, and decreased marital happiness. Implications of these findings are suggested

The development of some characteristics for equitable national retirement income systems
The objective of this paper is to establish and apply a set of characteristics or benchmarks for a nation’s total retirement income system to be considered equitable. It must be stressed that the suggested characteristics do not, by themselves, design a national retirement income system. Indeed, it is recognized that the political, historical, economic and cultural context of each country will always influence such designs. However, this paper wi…
Marrying a Man with “Baggage”
Cultural views of previously married men include the assumption that they bring ex-wives and children as “baggage” into subsequent marriages. Analysis of 274 questionnaires of second wives revealed that such baggage was significantly associated with reporting less marital happiness, thinking about divorce, and wishing that they had not married their current husband. Implications for women contemplating marriage to a previously married man include…

Work It Out/See a Counselor
Fifty-nine spouses going through the process of separation completed an Internet survey on their experience. Not only was the process of separation difficult for the majority of both women and men (over three-fourths evaluated their adjustment as “still healing” or “terrible” with some “suicidal”), the advice from over two-thirds of both women and men to those contemplating separation/divorce was to avert a divorce by “working it out” or “seeing …

“I Kissed A Girl”
In this study, analysis of survey data from 436 self-identified heterosexual females from two southeastern universities reveals that almost half (47.9%) reported having kissed another woman out of sexual experimentation/curiosity, almost one-third (31.3%) reported having had a sexual dream of being with another woman, and almost one-fourth (23.2%) reported having had a sexual fantasy of being with another woman. Same-sex kissing, dreaming, and fa…
Secrets in Romantic Relationships
Analysis of data from a 50-item survey on “Secrets in Romantic Relationships” completed by 431 respondents (primarily attending a large southeastern university) revealed that more than 60% reported ever having kept a personal secret in a romantic relationship and one-fourth were currently doing so. Findings included that homosexuals were more willing to keep significantly (p <.01) more secrets than heterosexuals. The suggested explanation is that…
Positive Effects of Parental Divorce on Undergraduates
Three hundred and thirty-six undergraduates from two large universities in the Southeast and Midwest completed a 31-item Internet questionnaire revealing their (mostly white and ages 18–23) reaction to the divorce of their parents. Perceived positive effects included a happier mother (57%); happier father (43%); closer relationships with mother, father, or siblings (45%, 29%, 36%, respectively); less parental conflict (35%); and greater appreciat…
