A Cross-National Study of Beliefs in Science and Value-Beliefs-Norms Perspectives
Environmental values, beliefs, and norms (VBN) have long been an important framework to understand environmentally conscious behaviors. Scholars have only begun to integrate how emerging belief systems that include faith in science to solve environmental problems may be incorporated into VBN perspectives. Although scholars have made preliminary theoretical bridges, scholars remain divided over how technological optimism intersects with norms, val…
The Effect of the Texas Migrant Busing Program on the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election
From 2022 to 2024, Texas transported more than 100,000 migrants from the U.S.–Mexico border to six cities led by Democratic mayors, creating a unique migration shock far from the border. We use county-level data to estimate the program’s effects on presidential elections. Comparing two elections prior to the program (2016–2020) with one after (2024), we find that the busing program increased Trump’s vote share by more than three percentage points…
Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective
Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort. However, past research has yielded inconclusive findings about how economic inequality affects meritocratic attitudes across different class groups. Theories of activated class conflict suggest that class matters more in high‐inequality contexts, while theories of relative power sug…
The Relative Contributions of Changes in Vertical and Horizontal Mechanisms to Overall Changes in Occupational Gender Segregation in the United States, 2006–2019
Objective In this article, we examine how the expansion of feminized industries impacted horizontal and vertical patterns of occupational gender segregation. Methods We apply Thiel's H to data drawn from the American Community Survey (2006–2019) and run regression and counterfactual analyses. Results Horizontal shifts accounted for 74% of the decline in occupational gender segregation during the study period, while changes to vertical patterns ac…

Occupational Insecurity, Threat Perception, and Support for Exclusionary Immigration Policy in the Global North & South
Configurations of attitudes toward immigration in Europe
Scholarship on immigrant stereotypes suggest that individuals’ viewpoints toward immigration may be differentiated across the dimensions of culture and economics. In this study, we use latent class analysis, which avoids the assumption that attitudes are unidimensional, scalar, and polarized, to examine configurations of immigration attitudes in Europe from 2002 through 2010, a period of time leading up to and within the Great Recession. Analyzin…
Channeling and Wages Among New US Immigrants from Mexico, India, and the Philippines
National — and local — conversations about immigration are often centered on immigrants’ integration into the US society. One factor that shapes immigrants’ integration is their pre-migration work experience, skills, and training and a series of studies have used “channeling” as a concept to identify immigrants who have worked in the same occupation and/or industry in the destination labor market as they had in the origin labor market, prior to m…

Multidimensional attitudes
Attitudinal studies illustrate high levels of support toward homosexuality across European countries. Although these patterns suggest that European societies are becoming more progressive and tolerant, they do not extend to Muslim migration. As Western conceptions of liberalism are increasingly defined in terms of tolerance of sexual minorities as a marker of societal progress, persistent anti-Muslim sentiment presents a liberalism paradox. Exist…
The costs of occupational gender segregation in high-tech growth and productivity across US local labor markets
Theories of endogenous economic growth propose that the exchange of information between workers with different knowledge facilitates innovation. In this study, we explore whether occupational gender segregation poses a barrier to endogenous growth by limiting the extent to which women and men workers exchange information, ideas and perspectives. Focusing on technology industries as a sector where information exchange plays a large role, we use er…
Exclusionary attitudes toward immigrants
Research on immigration attitudes focuses on two dimensions of exclusionary preferences: those related to achieved characteristics and those related to ascribed characteristics. First, we expand this work by unpacking how individuals blend attitudes across these two dimensions. Applying latent profile analysis to a comprehensive set of exclusionary indicators from the European Social Survey in 2002 and 2014, we observe seven attitudinal configura…
The interplay of female empowerment and subjective beliefs about women in 51 countries
The durability of gender inequality in contemporary societies raises questions about the development and diffusion of inegalitarian beliefs about the roles of men and women in politics and economics. Recent comparative research suggests the empowerment of women in politics is important for promoting egalitarian beliefs about women in authoritative political roles. This study extends on this perspective by examining how female empowerment in polit…
The rules of the game
In recent years, healthcare typologies are increasingly scrutinized. Prevailing healthcare system categorizations draw on comparative–institutional welfare state arrangements that constitute the “rules of the game” for healthcare provision. Challenging these perspectives, health policy perspectives suggest that ongoing policy changes shifted the “rules of the game” in ways that are not adequately captured by traditional comparative–institutional …
The Intersection of Racial and Gender Attitudes, 1977 through 2018
Intersectionality scholars have long identified dynamic configurations of race and gender ideologies. Yet, survey research on racial and gender attitudes tends to treat these components as independent. We apply latent class analysis to a set of racial and gender attitude items from the General Social Survey (1977 to 2018) to identify four configurations of individuals' simultaneous views on race and gender. Two of these configurations hold unifie…
The Impact of Muslim Religious Accommodations on Subjective Well‐Being Among Christian Majorities and Nonattendees
Objective In this article, we examine how religious accommodations for Muslim minorities impact subjective well‐being (SWB) among Christian and nonattendee respondents in Western European countries. Methods We apply hierarchal linear modeling and fixed effects regressions on data drawn from the European Social Survey (2002–2008). Results We find that religious accommodations at the country level are negatively associated with lower SWB among both…
Muslim religious accommodations in Western Europe
How do religious accommodations for Muslim minorities shape religiosity levels among Muslims minorities? Answering this question is critical in the contemporary period, as Western European countries have experienced greater diversity in religious affiliations due to immigration. In this article, we address this question by analysing individual data across multiple waves of the European Social Survey (ESS). Our analysis improves on existing studie…
Multiculturalist policies in an age of immigration
In this article, we provide an empirical analysis of the relationship between multiculturalist policies and immigrant attitudes toward homosexuality. Normative discourses implicate multiculturalism as a key obstacle to the sociocultural integration between immigrants and natives within affluent democracies. At the core of this controversial debate are differences over the extent to which multiculturalism impedes or promotes the adoption of sexual…
Spatial Segregation and the Impact of Linguistic Multicultural Policies Within the USA
The Globalization of Production and Income Inequality in Rich Democracies
Despite prominent and compelling theoretical arguments linking manufacturing imports from the global South to rising income inequality in the global North, the literature has produced decidedly mixed support for such arguments.We explain this mixed support by introducing intervening processes at the global and national levels.At the global level, evolving characteristics of global production networks (GPNs) amplify the effect of Southern imports.…
Beyond the Chief Complaint
Shifting racial hierarchies
Multi-racial (mixed-race) people constitute a growing percentage of the United States (US) population. The study reported in this paper used residential segregation measures as a proxy for social distance, to examine whether segregation levels of multi-racial groups differ from those of mono-racial groups in the US in 2010. First, we find that all multi-racial groups considered in the study experience lower levels of segregation at county level t…
Promoting Patriarchy or Dual Equality? Multiculturalism and the Immigrant Household Division of Labor
In this article, we provide the first empirical analysis of the relationship between multicultural immigration policy and gender inequality within immigrant communities. A fierce sociological debate pits those who identify multiculturalism as a key obstacle to gender equality among immigrant families against those who believe multiculturalism and gender egalitarianism are “dual-equality projects.” At the core of this debate are differences over t…
Immigration and support for redistributive social policy
In this article, we examine the impact of multicultural immigration policy on the degree to which immigration reduces support for redistributive social policy among natives. Arguments linking immigration to support for redistributive social policy are hotly contested. Some suggest that immigration reduces support for social policy, while others suggest that it increases such support. To make matters worse, the empirical evidence is equally mixed.…
