HIV Risk and the Internet
Women's Adaptation to the IT Culture
This research study investigated the possible cultural conflicts faced by women during the socialization process to the IT occupational culture. In particular, the differences of perceptions by gender were examined. This study presents a sequential mixed methodology approach composed of two linked phases: the initial qualitative phase included 27 interviews conducted with students in the IT field in order to obtain their impressions of the IT occ…

The Story of Subject Naught
In a web-based, sexual behavior risk study using a rigorous response validation protocol, we identified 124 invalid responses out of 1,150 total (11% rejection). Nearly all of these (119) were due to repeat survey submissions from the same participants, and 65 of them came from a single participant. This brief describes how we were able to detect these repeat submissions using the validation protocol, and highlights the importance of using both a…
Shorter can Also be Better
The Job Descriptive Index family of job attitude measures includes the Job in General (JIG) scale, a measure of global satisfaction with one’s job. The scale was originally developed and validated by Ironson, Smith, Brannick, Gibson, and Paul. Following structured scale reduction procedures developed by Stanton, Sinar, Balzer, and Smith, the current authors developed an abridged version of the JIG for use by practitioners and researchers of organ…

Beliefs about cybersex and Internet-mediated sex of Latino men who have Internet sex with men
Cybersex (engaging in sexual self-stimulation while online with another person) and meeting partners for sex are commonly reported among men who have Internet sex with men (MISM). We studied 1,026 Latino MISM in the US and constructed a scale to measure beliefs about cybersex. Respondents were recruited to an online Internet study and compensated for their effort. Factor analysis indicated that there were three dimensions: (1) liking cybersex: pe…
Information Technology and Privacy
With the rising popularity of the Internet and some widely publicized occurrences of privacy loss due to information technology, many individuals have recently become more concerned with the privacy and security of sensitive information. These concerns have special relevance within work organizations because of the substantial amounts of data that organizations typically collect about the work and non-work activities of their employees. This chap…
Effects of Workplace Monitoring Policies on Potential Employment Discrimination and Organizational Attractiveness for African Americans in the Technical Professions
Many organizations have policies concerning the use of technology to monitor the communications of employees. The present study explored the effects of these policies on beliefs and preferences of Black job applicants. Using a simulated job advertisement, we varied organizational monitoring policies and application submission methods in a 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment with 600 participants from a professional organization of Black engineers. …
Religion
This article argues that religion should be fully integrated into cross-cultural research for four reasons: (a) religion, by itself, occupies a substantial role in people's lives across different cultures; (b) religion has been found to be a strong predictor of important life domains among individuals all over the world; (c) religion has a strong influence on cross-cultural dimensions; and (d) culture also influences and shapes religious beliefs …
Issues and Strategies for Reducing the Length of Self‐report Scales
Greater understanding of the complex interrelationships among work‐relevant constructs has increased the number of constructs on organizational surveys. Good psychometric practice also dictates the use of multiple items per construct. The net result has been longer surveys. Longer surveys take more time to complete, tend to have more missing data, and have higher refusal rates than short surveys. Arguably, then, techniques for reducing the length…
Revising the Jdi Work Satisfaction Subscale
The Job Descriptive Index (JDI) is a widely used facet measure of job satisfaction that has undergone several revisions since its first publication in 1969. A revision in 1985 added items that, in subsequent research, appeared to tap work stress rather than work satisfaction. To illuminate the contaminating effect of these items, the authors analyzed two samples ( n = 1,623 and n = 314) that also contained test items hypothesized to tap job contr…
Development of a Compact Measure of Job Satisfaction
The Job Descriptive Index is a popular measure of job satisfaction with five subscales containing 72 items. A national sample ( n = 1,534) and a sample of university workers ( n = 636) supported development of an abridged version of the Job Descriptive Index (AJDI) containing a total of 25 items. A systematic scale-reduction technique was employed with the first sample to decide which items to retain in each scale. The abridged subscales were the…
Information Technology, Privacy, and Power within Organizations
Over recent years, information technology has played an increasingly important role in the monitoring and surveillance of worker behavior in organizations. In this article, we take the position that managers, workers, and information technology professionals alike see worker-related information as a valuable organizational resource and that processes of social exchange influence how this information resource is controlled. These suppositions are …
A General Measure of Work Stress
The present study focused on the development and validation of scores on the Stress in General scale. Three diverse samples of workers ( n = 4,322, n = 574, n = 34) provided psychometric and validity evidence. All evidence converged on the existence of two distinct subscales, each of which measured a different aspect of general work stress. The studies also resulted in meaningful patterns of correlations with stressor measures, a physiological me…

An Empirical Assessment of Data Collection Using the Internet
Identical questionnaire items were used to gather data from 2 samples of employees. One sample ( n = 50) responded to a survey implemented on the World Wide Web. Another sample ( n = 181) filled out a paper version of the survey. Analyses of the 2 data sets supported an exploration of the viability of World Wide Web data collection. The World Wide Web data had fewer missing values than the paper and pencil data. A covariance analysis simultaneous…
Virtual Worlds, the IRB and a User's Bill of Rights
Virtual worlds provide a vibrant and exciting new venue for the conduct of social research. New social phenomena have emerged in the context of these worlds as individuals and groups use the worlds’ social communication tools to overcome limitations of time and distance. Yet these worlds also pose some novel ethical problems for social researchers who wish to conduct their work in these contexts. The present paper discusses ethical dimensions of …
