The colors of fear
Research on fear of crime has revealed the impact that neighborhoods' racial composition has on individuals' perceptions of fear and safety. Yet, few studies have examined how between-neighborhood variation in diversity, as distinct from minority concentration, influences residents' perceptions. Using multilevel regression and drawing on data gathered from a sample of residents in the Greater Houston Area, we examine the between-neighborhood effe…
Religious Involvement and Depression
Debates about whether the relationship between religiousness and depression is nonlinear have continued, but no definitive conclusions thus far have been drawn. Unlike most previous research in this area, which has been based on U.S. populations, this study focuses on a sample of 882 young rural Chinese women. Results from analyses reveal an inverse U-shaped relationship between intrinsic religiosity and depression. In addition, results show that…
Asian Immigration to the United States (review)
Reviewed by: Asian Immigration to the United States Eric Y. Liu (bio) Asian Immigration to the United States, by Philip Q. Yang. Cambridge: Polity, 2011. 192 pp. $22.95 paper. ISBN: 978-0-7456-4503-2. Much has been written about Asian immigration to the United States in the past several decades.

Confucianism and Youth Suicide in Rural China
This study examined the relationship between core Confucian ethics and suicide. We used a proxy sample of youths randomly selected from rural areas of three provinces in China. The proxy sample consisted of 382 completed suicides and 414 community living controls, all aged 15-34 years. Logistic regression analyses showed that among the Chinese youths (1) the Confucian ethic of filial piety was negatively associated with suicide; (2) the Confucian…

Religiousness, Spirituality, and Psychological Distress in Taiwan
Most of the previous research on religion and mental health has focused solely on Western, predominantly Christian societies. Using a 2004 national survey of 1,881 adults in Taiwan, this study investigates the relationships between multidimensional measures of religiousness/spirituality and psychological distress in an Eastern context. Our findings differ from previous studies in the West, showing that: (1) religious-based supernatural beliefs ar…
Are Risk-Taking Persons Less Religious? Risk Preference, Religious Affiliation, and Religious Participation in Taiwan
The “risk-preference” thesis is a controversial topic in the sociology of religion. Thus far, cross-cultural empirical research on risk preference and religiosity has been meager. This study attempts to replicate Miller's (Miller, Alan S. 2000. Going to hell in Asia: The relationship between risk and religion in a cross cultural setting. Review of Religious Research42(1):5–18) study for Taiwanese society, using data from the 2007 Taiwan Social Ch…
Fatalistic Voluntarism and Life Happiness in Post-Socialist China
Fatalism has been recognized by sociologists as a key concept in sociology. Recent debates on fatalism revolve around the way theological fatalism influences the individual and society. Unfortunately, little has been said about the topic in the communist and post-communist world. Using recent data from a national survey of residents in People's Republic of China (P.R. China), this article examines the relationship between fatalistic voluntarism a…
Beyond the West
This study examines the association between religiosity and personal mastery in the Chinese context, testing two theses: relinquished control and personal empowerment. Using data from a nationally representative sample of 1,881 Taiwanese adults, I find that: (a) beliefs in karma and one supreme God and prayer are negatively associated with the sense of mastery and (b) the estimated net effect of some devotional activities, such as meditation, app…
