Evaluation of the early-stage entrepreneurship activity in the United States during the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (measured by total cases and deaths per 100K people) on the early-stage entrepreneurship activity (measured by the Kauffman Early-Stage Entrepreneurship indicators) in the United States. The empirical analyses are based on the panel dataset of 51 States between 2020 and 2021. The findings show that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affects early-stage entrepreneurship activity. Further analy…
Linguistic Influence on Russian and American Ethnobiological Categorization
In the Russian language, nouns are classified by gender and animacy, whereas in English, nouns are not. Using triad-sorts of names for biological and non-biological taxa, a comparison of results provided by native speakers of both languages reveals that cognitive categorizations of animate and inanimate nomenclatural forms differ significantly between speakers of Russian and American English. Speakers of American English appear to categorize name…
Free-list Measures of Cognitive Sharing and Organization
We present a normed measure of cognitive sharing/diversity and a measure of cognitive organization that can be derived from free lists. They are useful for making cross-cultural and intracultural comparisons both within and between culturally constituted cognitive domains. An ethnographic example using data collected in rural Missouri from 40 novice and expert respondents to the domain of wild plants is used for illustrative purposes. Consistent …
Cognition, culture and utility
Culturally constructed use patterns ultimately override morphological variables in rural Paraguayans' ethnobotanical classification
An Improved Measure of Cognitive Salience in Free Listing Tasks
A new free-list measure of cognitive salience, B′, is presented, which includes both list position and list frequency. It surpasses other extant measures by being normed to vary between a maximum of 1 and a minimum of 0, thereby making it useful for comparisons irrespective of list length or number of respondents. An illustration of its properties, uses, and computation is provided with the aid of examples drawn from free lists of foods elicited …
Freelisting as a Tool for Assessing Cognitive Realities of Landscape Transformation
Cognitive reality of landscape transformation in Amazonia refers to the traditional knowledge local people share in a common culture concerning past and sometimes lasting human impacts on substrates and biotic compositions of specific areas. A method for determining cognitive reality of any semantic domain is freelisting. Freelists of terms for flora and landscapes in the indigenous languages of Greater Amazonia indicate extensive shared vocabula…
Introduction to Special Issue on Food Security in a Changing World
Food security, or access to sufficient, healthy, and nutritious foods, presents aserious challenge for scholars committed to the advancement of human healthand well-being. Food insecurity poses a multifaceted biocultural problem thatincludes chronic malnutrition, metabolic and degenerative diseases, and thehastening decline of sustainable food production and subsistence practices.Despite numerous advances made by food scholars, anthropologists, f…
Ethnobiology, Political Ecology, and Conservation
Ethnobiology is increasingly recognized from within and outside of its boundaries as interdisciplinary. The Society of Ethnobiology defines the field as “the scientific study of dynamic relationships among peoples, biota, and environments.” Ethnobiologists are able to skillfully assess challenges of biocultural conservation across the divides of political ecology. They are situated to mediate between conservation programs that target biodiversity…
The Politics of Traditional Foodways in the Arkansas Delta
In response to skyrocketing rates of childhood obesity, state and federal policymakers have developed public school-based programs to fight "America's pandemic obesity problem." These programs have focused on promoting "healthy" lifestyles without attempting to explore the cultural or political factors that underlie childhood obesity. One such program was the cornerstone of former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential contender Mike Hucka…
Recollections, reflections, and revelations
For nearly a century, ethnobiologists have collaborated with local community members in their efforts to document and safeguard our planet’s rich and varied biocultural heritage. Work in ethnobiology and ethnomedicine, including ethnobotany, ethnozoology, and ethnoecology, necessarily entails meticulous and rigorous systematic observation of the myriad ways indigenous and local communities cognize, utilize, and classify the floral and faunal reso…
Medical Tourism in the Backcountry
Tourists travel to Arkansas' mountain regions to experience, appreciate, and consume multiple aspects of otherness, including sacred sites and pristine and authentic peoples and environments. A largely unexplored aspect of this consumption of authenticity is alternative medicine, provided to tourists and day travelers in search of physical and emotional restoration. Traditional forms of medicine are deeply rooted in women's social roles as commun…
The Lovable, the Loathsome, and the Liminal
In this paper we demonstrate the interrelationship between emotional meaning and ethnozoological cognition in American culture. Data were obtained from 101 undergraduates who freelisted the names of the animals they like as well as the names of those they dislike. Respondents also rated the five ethnozoological life forms (birds, snakes, fish, mammals, and “wugs”) according to personal preference. We found a significant correlation between the ev…

Emotional Meaning and the Cognitive Organization of Ethnozoological Domains
This article shows that the cognitive structure of semantic ethnozoological domains is influenced by the culturally constituted affective values of these domains. Data were collected from American undergraduates who free listed the generic constituents of four ethnozoological life-forms: birds, fish, snakes, and wugs. Participants indicated on each free list which items they liked and disliked, and which single item best represented the life-form…
Fear and Loathing at the Cineplex
Ethnobotany and Ethnicity in the Ozarks
HUMAN ORGANIZATION southern Missouri, researchers will need to be cautious in identifying the ethnicity and cultural affiliation of informants since a large population segment in this region are Western Cherokee who have not identified themselves to outsiders in almost 150 years. This situation can possibly be alleviated by contacting local Native American groups prior to going into the field to gain permission for tribal members to identify them…
Successive Free Listing
Successive free listing is a data collection technique that links multiple free lists together in a single interview. The technique can be incorporated into naturally occurring conversations and is readily understood by informants. It also generates more information about the similarity between items than do standard free-listing tasks and allows investigators to better describe intracultural variation among informants. Data from Yoder's ethnomed…
A Measure of Semantic Category Clustering in Free-Listing Tasks
A measure of semantic category (subset) clustering in free lists is presented that has several advantages over other cluster measures: (1) it is independent of interitem distances; (2) it expresses the degree of clustering of semantic subsets within a list, and overall, as proportions of a maximum that ranges from 0 to 1; and (3) this ratio can be used to compare the degree of clustering within semantic subsets in the same list, overall, and acro…
Cultural Conservation of Medicinal Plant Use in the Ozarks
While a number of recent health care studies have focused on the availability of modern health care services among rural U.S. populations, the commensurate study of access to folk medical systems has been relatively neglected. In this paper we explore the cultural conservation of folk medicinal plant use in 14 communities across the Ozark Mountain region of Arkansas and Missouri. Six relevant socioeconomic and demographic factors are examined in …
