Linguistic Diversity Index: A Scientometric Measure to Enhance the Relevance of Small and Minority Group Languages
Current scientometric indexes do not encourage the linguistic diversity of sources cited in academic texts and researchers are not motivated to cite texts written in smaller languages. This diminishes the cultural diversity of the sources cited and limits the representation of small and indigenous cultures. This text proposes a scientometric measure designed to encourage the linguistic diversity of sources cited in articles, books, and papers. Th…
Peer review
Peer-reviewed journals rely on the support of the scholarly community. Journals such as Theory & Psychology could not function without the dedication and conscientiousness of so many scholars who freely share their time and expertise to act as reviewers for manuscripts that have been submitted for publication. Theory & Psychology is grateful for the support it receives from peer reviewers and members of the editorial board
Understanding fatness: Jamaican women’s constructions of health
The prevalence of dominant health discourses has been observed in many Western countries. These discourses tend to associate fatness with ill health, perpetuating stigma and negative attributions about bigger bodies. The authors examine women’s constructions of health in an urban Jamaican context. The findings show that women generally reproduce the dominant (Western) “obesity epidemic” discourse, but also take up a local cultural discourse, whic…
Fracking in Canadian Print News: A Sociotechnical Debate
It is widely recognized that fracking is a topic of debate in the news, which is largely “compartmentalized” into stories on fracking as economically beneficial or risky to environment and health. Building on previous scholarship, we take a constructivist position and focus on fracking as potentially technical and social, or sociotechnical. Our qualitative textual analysis of news printed in two high-circulation newspapers in Canada (2013-2015) r…
Notes on the development of health psychology and behavioral medicine in the United States
A “standard” historiographical overview of the development of health psychology in the United States, alongside behavioral medicine, first summarizes previous disciplinary and professional histories. A “historicist” approach follows, focussing on a collective biographical summary of accumulated contributions of one cohort (1967–1971) at State University of New York at Stony Brook. Foundational developments of the two areas are highlighted, contex…
Company disclosure and consumer perceptions of the privacy implications of direct-to-consumer genetic testing
This study examines the way direct-to-consumer genetic testing (DTCGT) companies communicate privacy information and how consumers understand privacy implications of DTCGT. We first conducted an analysis of DTCGT websites to determine what information they provide regarding the treatment of consumer information and samples. 86 companies offered DTCGT services that could be purchased online from Canada. We then surveyed 415 consumers (180 had purc…
Ethnic and Racial Self-Identifications of Second-Generation Canadians of African and Caribbean Heritage: An Analysis of Discourse
This study investigated how second-generation Canadian youth of African and Caribbean heritage constructed racial, ethnic, and national identities and categories. Twenty-two participants aged 13 to 18 years of East and West African, and Caribbean background, were recruited from communities in the Greater Toronto Area to participate in four discussion groups. Discourse analysis was used to demonstrate the fluidity and negotiability of racial and e…
