Testing the race‐of‐institution effect on misreporting electoral behavior
This research note reports on an attempt to gain a greater understanding of voter misreporting. Is there a race-of-institution effect present in mail surveys that contributes to misreporting similar to the race-of- interviewer effect present in other survey techniques? To examine this research question a survey was developed. The research consisted of selecting two institutions (universities) within a southern U.S. city, one recognized as a "trad…

Race and Dissatisfaction with Government Services
It is customary to employ surveys to evaluate government services. Race is cited frequently as a source of differences between people in the evaluation of government services. African-Americans are reported to be more critical of government services than others. However, a possible source of error reported in survey research is response bias due to what is commonly called the race-of-interviewer effect: black and white respondents giving differen…
Telephone communication with children as part of the self‐care arrangement
Children in self‐care (latchkey) arrangements have been portrayed as a population at risk, and this has recently led to research investigations, social policy discussions, and legislative proposals. This study examines selected characteristics of mother, child, and family, and the amount of time children spend in self‐care, for their influences on the use of the telephone to communicate with children in self‐care. The analysis builds on earlier s…
Students' perceptions of teaching innovations in medical school
This research traces medical students’ perceptions of the first year of medical training in an experimental, problem‐based curriculum. The purpose of the study was to ascertain whether their learning experiences differ from what has been reported about perceptions in traditional training programs. A content analysis of structured student diaries revealed that their experiences follow closely the three‐phase model described by Becker, Geer, Straus…

Teenagers, behavioral problems, and preferences for heavy metal and rap music
The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between musical preference, commitment to popular music and behavior problems of teenagers in an optional middle school. This research tested three hypotheses. 1) Musical preference is related to race, 2) Musical preference can predict behavior problems, and, 3) Commitment to popular music, measured in hours, can predict behavior problems. Data were gathered from a survey distributed to…

Child's Age and Mother's Employment in Relation to Greater Use of Self-Care Arrangements for Children
In recent years there has been a growing interest in self-care (latchkey) arrangements, but virtually no research has been done on time in self-care. We investigated factors associated with the amount of time children spend in self-care. Using a magazinedistributed questionnaire, we obtained responses from 1,194 mothers who had children under age 14 in self-care to some extent. Child's age and mother's hours per week of paid employment were signi…
Magazine-distributed questionnaires for exploratory research
Although an increasing number of studies based on a magazine‐distributed questionnaire (MDQ) are being done, no formal discussion of the method can be found in the literature. Several problems are posed by MDQ research. Because of the problem of self‐selection bias, findings cannot be generalized and it is therefore essential to recognize and emphasize the exploratory role of the method. This paper is the first formal discussion of the potential …

Problem Behavior and Psychosocial Development
Social class, familism, interest in children, and childbearing
Two recurrent concepts in fertility literature permit prediction of an inverse relationship between social class and fertility. The commitment to familism refers to the degree that couples embrace a family‐centered style of life over a consumerist or careerist style of life. Commitment to individual children refers to the emotional and material involvement of parents in each child they have. Data show that commitment to individual children is neg…
