A qualitative analysis of beliefs about masculinity and gender socialization among U.S. mothers and fathers of school-age boys
Internalization of culturally dominant masculine gender role norms can have harmful impacts on the physical and emotional health of men and boys. Although parents play an important role in influencing gender-related beliefs in their children, limited research has examined how contemporary parents conceptualize masculinity and their role in gender socialization. The current study conducted 13 focus groups with Black, Latino, and White parents ( N …
The spectrum of sexual transaction
Sexual transaction, or any exchange of financial or material goods for sex, contributes to the disproportionate HIV burden among young women aged 15-24 years in sub-Saharan Africa. We analysed representations of sexual transactions in a sample of 363 narratives about HIV written by young Africans. The narratives were written at 4 time points (1997, 2005, 2008, 2014) by authors aged 10-24 years in urban and rural areas of Senegal, Burkina Faso, So…
Conceptualizing Consent
Sexual violence, comprising all non-consensual sexual acts, is an important driver of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Definitions of sexual violence rely on understandings of sexual consent, understood as a feeling of willingness that is communicated via shared indicators of consent. In this paper, through analysis of young authors' narrative-based social representations, we sought to provide insight into young Africans' sense-making around …
Making sense of fidelity
Mutual fidelity and partner reduction have been identified as key behavioural strategies to prevent HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly following recognition of the role that multiple concurrent sexual partnerships play in driving generalised HIV epidemics. We analysed social representations of fidelity and infidelity in a sample of 1,343 narratives about HIV written by young Africans between 1997 and 2014. The narratives were wr…
Temporal and cross-national comparisons of young Africans’ HIV-related narratives from five countries, 1997–2014
Little is known about how young Africans have made sense of the dramatic ways in which the HIV epidemic has evolved, and how that sense-making varies across countries with different epidemiological and sociocultural profiles. Symbolic representations of HIV and people living with HIV influence prevention, stigma, treatment-seeking, and illness experience. We compared social representations of HIV among young people from Senegal, Burkina Faso, Nig…
Young Africans’ social representations of sexual abuse of power in their HIV-related creative narratives, 2005–2014
The sexual abuse of power is a form of sexual coercion in which individuals - typically male - use their positions of authority to obtain sex. We analysed social representations of sexual abuse of power in a sample of 1,446 narratives about HIV written by young Africans between 2005 and 2014. The narratives were prepared at five different points in time (2005, 2008, 2011, 2013 and 2014) by authors aged 10-24 in urban and rural areas of Swaziland,…
Enabling Analysis of Big, Thick, Long, and Wide Data
Distinctive longitudinal narrative data, collected during a critical 18-year period in the history of the HIV epidemic, offer a unique opportunity to examine how young Africans are making sense of evolving developments in HIV prevention and treatment. More than 200,000 young people from across sub-Saharan Africa took part in HIV-themed scriptwriting contests held at eight discrete time points between 1997 and 2014, creating more than 75,000 narra…

Cultural scripts surrounding young people’s sexual and romantic relationships in the Western Highlands of Guatemala
Guatemala has one of the world's highest teenage pregnancy rates and 92% of young people report not using contraception for first sex. We conducted narrative-based thematic analysis of a sample of narratives (n = 40; 15 male-authored, 25 female-authored) on HIV and sexuality, submitted to a 2013 scriptwriting competition by young people aged 15-19 years from Guatemala's Western Highlands. Our objective was to identify dominant cultural scripts an…

The Craft of Inquiry
The Craft of Inquiry shows how research emerges from and interacts with theory, helping undergraduate students formulate, reformulate, and pursue their own theoretically-informed research. The author also provides a vocabulary to guide novice researchers through the maze of process. He author suggests that there are three basic explanatory approaches to sociology - multi-variate, interpretive and historical - all of which, on their own, are open …

The Changing Nature of Sociological Inquiry
The Social Science Research Center at an Undergraduate College
The Worcester Area Project on Aging differsfrom other undergraduate research centers in its emphasis on basic research and its exclusive focus on an annual survey of the local elderly population; it differs fundamentally from graduate-level area studies programs in its involvement of undergraduates in research. These differences presented unique challenges during the two-year pilot period of the Project. After describing our experiences we identi…

On Teaching Sampling
Sampling is one of the most technical topics covered in research methods courses. A complete understanding requires advanced mathematical training beyond the ken of most sociologists, let alone our students. Yet courses in research methods usually presume no knowledge of statistics, so that teachers of sampling must find mathematically unsophisticated methods of introducing sampling principles. Moreover, even a basic understanding of key concepts…

Subjective Class Identification
Research on subjective identification has tended to use the same single-item measure of this construct without regard to its validity and reliability. To address these and related measurement issues, multiple indicators of subjective are analyzed within the framework of a path analytic model with unobservable variables. Measures of objective class and political alienation are also included in the construction of an overidentified model, and Jores…

Objective and Subjective Status Inconsistency
The relationship between objective (researcher) and subjective (respondent) definitions of status inconsistency is examined with data from a survey study of Gary, Indiana. The analysis of a variety of measures of income-occupation inconsistency indicated a moderately high correlation between “normatively” defined and objectively defined inconsistency but otherwise very little relationship between subjective and objective measures. The overall pat…

Another Look at the Conformity Explanation of Group-Induced Shifts in Choice
A conformity explanation of group-induced shifts in individual choice has never received careful examination. For conformity to account for groupinduced shifts, it must be shown that (a) movement toward the group produces shifts in predictable directions on given decision problems, and (b) the motive force behind individual changes is group pressure. This article reviews the evidence bearing upon these two propositions and compares conformity wit…

Trait and situational attributions in a naturalistic setting
Student dormitory advisors (n = 16) made trait/situation attributions to themselves and also identified three friends and three acquaintances. Friends (n = 41) and acquaintances (n = 43) then made attributions to themselves along with attributions and familiarity ratings of the advisors who identified them. The actor‐observer effect was obtained for situational but not for trait attributions, both when advisors' self‐attributions were compared to…
