(In)Stability of Gender Attitudes in Times of Family Policy Change—A Latent Class Analysis of Germany, Austria, and Sweden
Assuming a long-term feedback loop between attitudes about gender divisions of labor and family policy, we examine such attitudes in Germany, Austria, and Sweden, between 1994 and 2012. Using a longitudinal, case study approach, we argue that attitudes on the gender division of labor need to be put in relation to both recent family policy changes and a country’s gender regime. Employing latent class analysis, we examine the prevalence of differen…
Gender Differences in Support for Scientific Involvement in U.S. Environmental Policy
Many studies have documented gender differences in attitudes toward and experiences with science. Compared to men, for example, women are less likely to study science and to pursue careers in science-related fields. Given these findings, should we expect gender differences in support for scientific involvement in U.S. environmental policy? This study empirically examines the relationship of gender to attitudes toward science and preferred roles o…
Ngos and the Development of Civil Society in Bulgaria and the Usa: A comparative analysis
This study examines the development of civil society and its ability to facilitate stronger democratic practices in Bulgaria using the USA as a comparison. Using data gathered from surveys of NGOs in 2006, we examine three sets of questions. First, what is the level of NGO organizational capacity? Second, to what degree are NGOs performing their mediating roles? Third, how do NGOs perceive their effectiveness in working with the state and its cit…
Child Rearing as a Mechanism for Social Change: The Relationship of Child Gender to Parents' Commitment to Gender Equity
In this article, the authors argue that having daughters has the potential of sensitizing parents to issues of gender equity. Because parents invest a significant amount of themselves in their children, anticipated and actual struggles that their children face, and the public policies addressing those struggles, take on increased salience. We find that both fathers' and mothers' support for public policies designed to address gender equity increa…
Girls or Boys? Relationship of Child Gender to Marital Instability
Recent research has found that the gender of children in the family influences the stability of their parents' marriage. Analyzing data from divorced couples, Morgan, Lye, and Condran (1988) reported that couples with only daughters run a greater risk of marital dissolution than couples with only sons. Morgan and his colleagues (1988) suggested that fathers are perceived as having a more important role to play in socializing sons than in socializ…
The Inglehart-Flanagan Debate over Postmaterialist Values: Some Evidence from a Canadian-American Case Study
This paper presents empirical evidence regarding the disagreement between Ronald Inglehart and Scott Flanagan over the proper conceptualization and measurement of postindustrial values. The empirical findings are derived from a study of two comparable but distinct postindustrial populations. Data utilized to investigate this controversy were gathered by means of mail surveys conducted simultaneously in metropolitan Toronto and Detroit in 1988. Bo…

The impact of knowledge and values on perceptions of environmental risk to the great lakes
Citizen attitudes concerning the potential hazards of environmental pollution are believed to be influenced by various factors. Some observers focus on the level of education and policy‐relevant knowledge obtaining among the public as predictors of environmental risk perceptions. Others have argued that level of education and knowledge are largely unrelated to risk perceptions. These scholars focus on the symbolic nature of environmental issues a…

Air Force Academy Graduates and Nongraduates: Attitudes and Self-Concepts
A general finding of socialization research at U.S. military academies is that it reinforces relatively traditional attitudes and masculine gender role traits of young men. The relative effect of military academy training on the attitudes and orientations of young men and women graduates and nongraduates is assessed, using data from the U.S. Air Force Academy. Although both graduates and nongraduates become more egalitarian about changing gender …
Social Organization, Spousal Resources, and Marital Power: A Cross-Cultural Study
This study investigates the effects of selected features of family and kinship structures on wives' power in marriage. Ethnographic data on over one hundred nonindustrial societies are employed to test the hypotheses that wives have more power in marriage in societies with nuclear rather than extended family structures, and in societies with matrilateral rather than patrilateral customs of residence and descent. Both hypotheses are supported. Res…
Alternative Strategies for Measuring Household Division of Labor: A Comparison
This article explores some substantive and methodological implications of using different data gathering techniques for measuring a couple's division of household labor. Four measurement strategies, each requiring reports from both spouses, compared: the relative distribution approach, a weighted distribution, a time reconstruction method, and the activity log approach. Differences in average total estimates produced by the techniques are small, …
