Semi-Automated Nonresponse Detection for Open-Text Survey Data
Open-ended survey questions can enable researchers to gain insights beyond more commonly used closed-ended question formats by allowing respondents an opportunity to provide information with few constraints and in their own words. Open-ended web probes are also increasingly used to inform the design and evaluation of survey questions. However, open-ended questions are more susceptible to insufficient or irrelevant responses that can be burdensome…
Gender Inequality and State Security
Women’s roles in political violence and terrorism have largely been examined through the agent/victim dichotomy. We suggest that women’s social inequality contributes to both roles of women as victims and as perpetrators of terrorist violence, with both roles ultimately contributing to increases in supplies of domestic terrorism. Particularly, women’s social inequality contributes to terrorism in three ways: it normalizes violence in society, mak…
Explaining voting participation gaps in local government elections in rural China
When studying rural elections in China, scholars usually consider voting participation as consistent across the village and township levels. Using a cross-sectional research design based on data collected in 2009–2011 in rural China, this study reveals that voter turnout in village elections is significantly higher than in township elections. This finding is robust across regions and at different economic development levels. In addition, findings…
Toward a New Measure of State-Level LGBT Interest Group Strength
Attempts to assess the influence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) groups on LGBT-related policy are hampered by imprecise measurement of LGBT group strength and activity. This research note examines the problems with existing measures of state-level LGBT advocacy strength and it develops an alternative measure of LGBT advocacy group strength. We utilize revenue and asset data available from the National Center for Charitable Stat…
HIV Disclosure and Unprotected Sex Among Vietnamese Men with a History of Drug Use
A comparison of computer‐generated and naturally occurring foraging patterns in route‐network‐constrained spider monkeys
The attribution of goal-directed behavior to observations of primate foraging and ranging requires that simpler explanations for observed behavior patterns be eliminated. Computer-generated simulations of non-goal-directed foraging behavior can be used as null models for higher complexity cognitive foraging, and can provide quantifiable data against which to compare the observed behavioral patterns in wild primates. In this paper, we compare the …
