Ecologically Sustainable Design of Outdoor Spaces: Theory and Practice
The methods of dealing with and designing outdoor spaces differ according to different times, environmental conditions and societies. The pursuit of pleasure and joy from behind these designs achieve sustainable ecological values in design with care for the ecological environment. Given the local reality experienced in outdoor spaces and the pursuit of balance with Nature, the designers of outdoor spaces must recognize the role of these values an…
Women’s sport and media: A call to critical arms
After many years of struggle, women’s sport is experiencing an upsurge around the world. This advance means, given the co-dependent relationship between sport and media, greater coverage of women’s sport. These are positive developments regarding gender equality, especially given the socio-cultural power of the “media sports cultural complex.” It is important, though, not to exaggerate the institutional success of women’s sport and media that has…
Keeping it free: Sport television and public policy in Australia
This article addresses issues surrounding changes in television in the digital age, focusing specifically on questions of cultural citizenship as they relate to sport on television. It considers the curious neglect of sport in the Australian Government’s 2020 ‘Media Reform Green Paper: Modernising television regulation in Australia’, especially given its focus on the current problems of free-to-air (FTA) television and the importance of sport to …
Coda: The last cultural capital survey
In asking whether the survey conducted for the Australian Cultural Fields project might be the last of its kind, this article reflects on the issues raised by the participants in this review symposium as well as those registered in the Fields, Capitals, Habitus book regarding the limitations of cultural capital surveys. It also draws on recent critical assessments of the degree to which the underlying principles of Bourdieu's sociology can engage…
Introduction: Surveying the survey
This article reviews the terms in which the Australian Cultural Fields project engaged with the concepts of fields, capitals, and habitus. It also places these concepts in the context of their longer histories of use and interpretation in Bourdieusian sociology, and identifies the new inflections acquired in bringing them to bear on the relations between culture and inequality in Australia. It involves a discussion of some of the key dynamics tha…
The Sporting Bubble as Gilded Cage: Gendered Professional Sport in Pandemic Times and Beyond
Introduction: Bubbles and Sport The ephemeral materiality of bubbles – beautiful, spectacular, and distracting but ultimately fragile – when applied to protect or conserve in the interests of sport-media profit, creates conditions that exacerbate existing inequalities in sport and society. Bubbles are usually something to watch, admire, and chase after in their brief yet shiny lives. There is supposed to be, technically, nothing inside them other…
Media Framing of Women’s Football During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article examines British media coverage of women's association football during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, to identify how the media framed the women's game and how these frames could shape the public perceptions of it. Through a database search of British-based news coverage of women's football, 100 news articles were identified in the first 6 months after the start of the pandemic. A thematic analysis was conducted, and five domin…
The Worlds That Are Watching: Media, Politics, Diplomacy, and the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics
This article explores selected English-language media representation of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. These Games were remarkable in suddenly becoming a key subject for global media when North Korea unexpectedly announced its intention to participate barely a month before the opening ceremony. There followed an extraordinary turn of events, including revived talks between the Koreas and a meeting between South Korean President Moon Jae-in…
Football and accelerated culture: This modern sporting life
I first encountered the work of Steve Redhead at a time when I was focusing on the relationship between sport and rock music. Immediately apparent was the ease with which he tracked the twists and
Sports Journalism and the Fifa Scandal: Personalization, Co-optation, and Investigation
The scandalous events surrounding the 65th Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Congress in Zurich in mid-2015 produced an enormous quantity of media coverage. While few have a deep level of knowledge of FIFA’s history or governance, this global story worked effectively as narrativized media characterization by often constructing a comic view of FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter. Although entertaining, this coverage mainly serv…
Following the Followers: Sport Researchers’ Labour Lost in the Twittersphere
This Twitter Research Forum essay by Communication & Sport Associate Editor David Rowe explores the common assumption that Twitter has insinuated itself into all the communicative crevices of contemporary everyday life, including those set in the sporting context. Invoking Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, it is noted that the interpretive ground for communicative innovations such as Twitter (and its import broadly and in sport in the p…
Media and culture: Movement across the decades
Over the last decade there have been well-documented, far-reaching changes to the media environment as digitalization – among other forces and processes – has substantially altered media production, consumption and use. A notable consequence of this shift has been the intensified co-dependency of the media and (especially ‘live’) sport, and the continuing expansion of the ‘media sports cultural complex’. The developing phenomenon of social media …
New Screen Action and Its Memories: The “Live” Performance of Mediated Sport Fandom
The experience of watching sport on television is changing with the proliferation of screens, the diversification of screen-based content, and the extension of interactive screen-facilitated communication. In recent decades, sport broadcast television viewing opportunities shifted from a primary reliance on a single “box in the corner” in the domestic living room environment to the availability of a multiplicity of television sets in different ho…
The mediated nation and the transnational football fan
This article draws on preliminary findings from a qualitative study of the relationships between sport, media, identity and national cultural citizenship in Greater Western Sydney, Australia’s most dynamically diverse urban region. It addresses the place of sport, including association football (soccer), in the lived experience of those who, under conditions of intensifying and proliferating ‘mobilities’, engage in the quotidian process of negoti…
The power of popular publicity: New social media and the affective dynamics of the sport racism scandal
Sociologists have tended to take insufficient account of the importance of emotions to the social power of the institution of media, particularly as altered by the emergence of social media in the current media ecology. This paper compensates for this neglect by means of a brief illustrative case study of the effect of social media on the public reception of the 2011 Sepp Blatter racism scandal and of other ‘race-related’ scandals in the UK. In p…
Online Threat, But Television is Still Dominant: A comparative study of 11 nations’ news consumption
As news media change, so media news consumption changes with them. This paper, part of a larger international research project involving 11 countries in four continents (Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia), is focused on news consumption. As the range of media outlets has increased dramatically in recent years, this paper asks which news sources are people regularly watching, listening to or reading to understand what is happening in the world.…
From Pride to Smugness and the Nationalism Between: Olympic Media Consumption Effects on Nationalism Across the Globe
To measure relationships between Olympic media viewing and nation-based attitudes, 6 nations (Australia, Bulgaria, China, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and the United States) were surveyed in the 5 days immediately after the 2012 London Olympics. A total of 1,025 respondents answered questions pertaining to four measures of nationalism: patriotism, nationalism, internationalism, and smugness. The amount of Olympic viewing resulted in significantly h…
Sources in the News: A comparative study
In analysing the news media's role in serving the functions associated with democratic citizenship, the number, diversity and range of news sources are central. Research conducted on sources has overwhelmingly focused on individual national systems. However, studying variations in news source patterns across national environments enhances understanding of the media's role. This article is based on a larger project, “Media System, Political Contex…
International Tv News, Foreign Affairs Interest and Public Knowledge: A comparative study of foreign news coverage and public opinion in 11 countries
This article investigates the volume of foreign news provided by public service and commercial TV channels in countries with different media systems, and how this corresponds to the public's interest in and knowledge of foreign affairs. We use content analyses of television newscasts and public opinion surveys in 11 countries across five continents to provide new insight into the supply and demand for international television news. We find that (…
Reflections on Communication and Sport: On Nation and Globalization
In this essay, David Rowe reflects on how the nexus of sport and communication has affected national and global sensibilities. Sport contests take place at particular times in specific places, usually in a stadium setting, but not all who desire to watch can be present in the stadium. Without mediated communication, the vast edifice of contemporary sport would have remained largely localized, segmented activities. Progressively under modernity, p…

Obituary for the newspaper? Tracking the tabloid
Discussing newspapers in the 21st century commonly entails a narrative of impending extinction arising from technological, demographic, and cultural change. This article reports on research into three Australian newspapers (two broadsheet, one tabloid) that is concerned, in the first instance, with the concept of ‘tabloidization’, and the proposition that identifiable tabloid properties, such as the simplification and spectacularization of news, …
When Becks came to Sydney: Multiple readings of a sport celebrity
The November 2007 visit of David Beckham to Sydney attracted unprecedented mainstream media coverage for the developing sport of association football (soccer) in Australia, starkly emphasizing the increasingly globalized nature of sports consumption. As an Englishman playing for a relatively obscure American club in a ‘friendly’ match in Australia, the combination of capital and symbol circulation evident in Beckham's visit produced a new variati…
Media and Sport: The Cultural Dynamics of Global Games
The institutions of media and sport have increasingly converged over the last century, forming a media sports cultural complex of global proportions. This development has raised concerns over whether sport has become ‘mediatised’ and, conversely, that the media are increasingly ‘sportised’. The media sports cultural complex generates a vast array of representations of sport and the societies of which it is a part. It is important, therefore, to a…
From Broadcast Scarcity to Digital Plenitude: The Changing Dynamics of the Media Sport Content Economy
This essay traces and analyzes emerging zones of conflict as the transmission of popular sport content shifts from the historically dominant platform of broadcast television to the online environment of the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW). These conflicts are many and marked, underpinned by a shift in the media sport content economy in terms of the production, distribution and consumption of content. This economy is conceptualized as moving fro…
Sports journalism: Still the `toy department' of the news media
Sports journalism is an increasingly significant feature of the press yet is subject to considerable criticism, as summarized by the familiar jibe that it is the `toy department of the news media'. While there is an element of cultural snobbery and prejudice in this charge, sports journalism should not be exempted from scrutiny regarding conventional professional criteria within the news arena. There is, though, a dearth of empirical evidence con…
Sibling Effects on Substance Use and Delinquency
Sibling effects refer to the immediate influence one sibling may have on another or to indirect influences through their embeddedness in a common friendship network We used three aspects of sibling mutual interaction—warmth, conflict, and frequency of contact with mutual friends—to evaluate sibling effects on delinquency and substance use in 135 brother pairs, 142 sister pairs, and 141 mixed‐sex pairs in the Arizona Sibling Study (primarily aged …
Heredity and Sociological Theories of Delinquency: A Reconsideration
In most sociological treatments of crime and delinquency, genetic explanations are either ignored or ridiculed. While the belief that single genetic defects produce delinquent behavior is untenable, modern genetic theory is concerned with the influence of many genes on normal human behavioral variation. This analysis of genetic variation can be united with sociological theory. In particular, a twin study of the covariation between delinquent beha…

Genetic and environmental influences on the relationships between family connectedness, school connectedness, and adolescent depressed mood: Sex differences
This study investigated (a) genetic and environmental contributions to the relationship between family and school environment and depressed mood and (b) potential sex differences in genetic and environmental contributions to both variation in and covariation between family connectedness, school connectedness, and adolescent depressed mood. Data are from 2,302 adolescent sibling pairs (mean age = 16 years) who were part of the National Longitudina…

Impact of Pubertal Status, Timing, and Age on Adolescent Sexual Experience and Delinquency
This study examined the influence ofpubertal status, pubertal timing, and chronological age on adolescent heterosexual experience and delinquency. The sample consisted of adolescent males and females primarily 10 through 16 years of age. Hierarchical regression analyses examined the linear and curvilinear effects of chronological age and pubertal status. Statistically significant age and pubertal status terms were then combined in a full model co…
The Familial Transmission of Criminal Convictions
This article examines the familial transmission of criminal convictions in families in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development. Our main analyses focus on the 344 families in the Cambridge Study with two or more children. Criminal convictions were highly familial because convictions in a parent increased the risk of convictions in a child. Correlations between siblings were stronger in same‐sex siblings (.45 to .50) than in opposite‐sex one…
Influence of siblings on adolescent sexual behavior
Beyond nature versus nurture: DF analysis of nonshared influences on problem behaviors
J. C. DeFries and D. W. Fulker's (1985) regression model (since named DF analysis) used kinship pair data to separate heredity and shared environmental influences. This article extends DF analysis to include measured indicators of the nonshared environment. These indicators represent specific sources of environmental influence that cause related children to be different from one another. We present two empirical studies using twin, full-sibling, …
Origins of familial similarity in parenting: A study of twins and adoptive siblings
Parents of young children completed questionnaires that assessed attitudes toward parenting and specific parenting practices, the emotional atmosphere of the home, and parental personality. These parents were themselves either identical twins (n = 90), fraternal twins (n = 56), or adoptive siblings (n = 40). Model-fitting results implicate modest genetic effects on affect-related aspects of parenting, such as parental warmth. The results add new …
Bridging Criminal Careers, Theory, and Policy Through Latent Variable Models of Individual Offending
Our goal is to build bridges between theoretical criminology, the study of criminal careers, and policy‐relevant research. Insights from the criminal career and propensity positions lead us to seek (1) a comprehensive means of incorporating theoretical variables in research on criminal careers, (2) statistical models that yield meaningful projections relevant to public policy issues, and (3) methods for comparing findings for different measures o…
A Latent Trait Approach to Unifying Criminal Careers
We propose a latent trait model that simultaneously accounts for both participation in crime and the frequency of crimes, phenomena that the criminal career model attributes to different causal processes. The criminal career model is predicated on a categorical distinction between active offenders and nonoffenders, but the latent trait model assumes a continuous distribution of propensity to offend. Our specific statistical model relates a relati…

Adolescent Sexual Activity and Mildly Deviant Behavior: Sibling and Friendship Effects
This article addresses the relationship between two related behavioral domains in adolescents: sexual activity and mildly deviant behavior (defined as behaviors of which parents would disapprove, but which are not illegal). Previous work has demonstrated overlap between these behavioral domains. We use a unique data set - the data from the Carolina Population Center's Adolescent Sexuality (ADSEX) Project which contain linkable responses of siblin…

Genetic and Environmental Components of Antisocial Behavior: A Study of 265 Twin Pairs
This study investigates the common‐family environmental (CE), within‐family environmental (WE), and hereditary (H) components of antisocial behavior and its correlates using a twin study design. The subjects are 265 adolescent twin pairs who reported in a mail survey on their antisocial behavior, deceitfulness, parental rejection (as perceived), anger, impulsivity, and value placed on school achievement. These six variables are intercorrelated in…
Sibling Interaction and Selfreported Delinquent Behavior: A Study of 265 Twin Pairs
The relationship between the quality of twins’mutual attachment and delinquency is examined in a study of 265 twin pairs. It is predicted that twins with stronger mutual attachments will have lower rates of delinquent behavior. Contrary to this prediction, twins’mutual attachment (that is, the frequency with which the twins saw each other in teenage activities) is found to be unrelated to delinquent behavior. The twins often cooperated, however, …

Caucasian and Hispanic Early Adolescent Substance Use: Parenting, Personality, and School Adjustment
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of parenting, personality, and school adjustment on early adolescent substance use. The sample consisted of 1,023 6th and 7th graders (mean age = 12.7 years) about equally divided between males and females. Using structural equation modeling, similarity in developmental process across gender and ethnic groups was confirmed. Hierarchical nested modeling revealed few direct effects of personali…

Attitudes, Social Class, and the Quality of Foster Care
The relationship of foster parents' attitudes and social class to the quality of foster care was examined in a study of sixty foster homes. It was found that the better foster parents accept the foster child's early adult behavior, poor academic performance, and difficult social behavior, and they do not require strict religious observance on the part of the foster child. Social class was unrelated to the quality of care

Does contiguity breed similarity? A within-family analysis of nonshared sources of IQ differences between siblings
Une analyse de donnees portant sur 538 enfants provenant de 173 familles renseigne sur le role des facteurs de «contiguite» des enfants a l'interieur de la structure familiale (ordre des naissances, intervalle entre les naissances, nombre de freres ou de sœurs entre deux enfants) dans les scores de QI obtenus par des enfants de la meme famille

Familial influences on television viewing and aggression: A sibling study
Familial influences on aggressive behavior and TV viewing were investigated in a survey of adolescent siblings. Same-sex siblings resembled one another in aggression (brothers, r = 0.59; sisters, r = 0.52) and in their exposure to violent TV programs; opposite-sex siblings were dissimilar. Within individuals, the frequency of watching crime and action programs correlated nonsignificantly with aggression. Two other variables, however, were associa…

Failed and outdated social science theorizing? A commentary on IQ distributions in fathers and sons
Vroon, de Leeuw & Meester (1986) interpreted a father‐son IQ correlation of +0.34 as discrediting family background as the origin of a significant part of total IQ variation. This commentary argues that Vroon et al. have misunderstood the concept of variance partitioning as it is used in behavioural genetics. Based on their data, some 34 per cent (under a model of purely shared environmental influences) to 68 per cent or more (under a model of pu…

Sexual behavior and nonsexual deviance: A sibling study of their relationship
An “epidemic” model of sexual intercourse prevalences for black and white adolescents
In adolescence (12-16 years), the prevalence of sexual intercourse increases each year. To explain the increasing yearly prevalences, we propose a recursive equation model of onset of adolescent sexual intercourse. The model allows for an "epidemic" process (the transmission of sexuality from a nonvirgin to a virgin) and a nonepidemic process (two virgins progressing to sexual intercourse). The model also requires that virgin females be pubertall…

An ‘epidemic’ model of adolescent sexual intercourse: Applications to national survey data
This paper applies models of the onset of adolescent sexual intercourse using national data from Denmark and the USA. The model gave excellent fits to data on Danish Whites and a good fit to American Whites, but the model-fits for American Blacks and Hispanics were not as good. The weakness of the latter model fits may reflect either real processes that the model does not capture or problems in the reliability of adolescent sexuality data.
