Mental Health in South Georgia
Mental health is a contemporary issue of key concern among academics and policymakers, especially due to the exacerbation of mental health issues with the COVID-19 pandemic. Increases in mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, suicide, opioid overdose, and youth depression are the subject of research and governmental-allocated grant funding and new policies have been put in place at multiple institutional levels. We utilize a political …
Lemons to Lemonade
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated changes across social institutions, including education. This case study outlines specific innovations using five cases of pedagogical developments made by social science faculty members at a public university, and their utility for undergraduate students in a post-pandemic world. These innovations relate specifically to office hour scheduling, class assignment reminders, building informal class support groups, …
The health and environmental risks and rewards of modernity that shape scientific optimism
Individuals in high-income countries increasingly express less scientific optimism than in lower-income societies. In this article, we utilize risk society theory to understand the complicated relationship between individual- and country-level factors, and optimism toward the role of science in society in “reflexively modern” societies. We use multilevel modeling with 16 high-income countries to determine the individual-level and country-level fa…
Is safe space safe? Being gay and college faculty across religious moral communities
Prior research on the effect of religion on prejudicial attitudes against sexual minorities has looked into how religion may influence public attitudes towards homosexual behaviours, gay marriage, and same-sex adoption. However, less is known about how religion may influence employment discrimination against gays in the education industry where prejudice and discrimination against gays frequently occur. Using the 1993–2018 cumulative General Soci…
Change in Willingness to Participate in Political Action in the Middle East
This study examines change in willingness to engage in political action in five Middle Eastern countries (Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, and Turkey) using data from the 2005-2009 and 2010-2014 World Values Survey. Despite the high levels of political action observed in the Middle East during the Arab Spring, individuals in the region report greater reluctance to sign a petition, boycott, or demonstrate than individuals in all other world regions. …

Given that so many college students take Introduction to Sociology or Social Problems or both, we wondered about the amount of content overlap in these courses. We designed a study that used content analysis of syllabi from these courses in order to measure the amount of convergence between the two classes. In our sample, nearly 70 percent of the content was similar. More worrisome, some significant concepts, such as research methods and symbolic…
Scientific progress, risk, and development
Declining public confidence in science is a concern in the US and Europe, but it is unclear what predicts confidence in science in developed countries, let alone in developing countries. This article examines how development and 'risk society' shape individual attitudes toward science across 47 diverse countries, using four theoretically driven measures of risk society. It is found that people in affluent societies have lower support for science …
How national structures shape attitudes toward women’s right to employment in the Middle East
Despite dramatic human development in recent decades, women’s employment rates in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are the lowest in the world. Research shows that gender-egalitarian attitudes are key in explaining women’s employment. This study examines whether the Middle East stands out in terms of the degree to which individuals hold gender-egalitarian attitudes in the region and in terms of the factors that are most important in…
A Society of Young Women
Differential Support for Women in Higher Education and Politics Cross-Nationally
Attitudes towards women in the workforce, politics, and higher education are often combined in a composite measure of gender ideology. However, cross-national attitudes and influences on them may vary by each domain. Structural measures and the 2005-2008World Values Surveyare used to examine factors that influence attitudes towards women in education and politics across 52 nations. Findings show individuals are more supportive of women in educati…
Colonial History, Muslim Presence, and Gender Equity Ideology
Gender equity ideology has broad implications, not just for women's status and opportunities, but for the political and social stability of nations as well. The causes of individual differences in gender equity ideology have received significant attention, although many studies have been limited to affluent and industrialized established democracies, rather than developing and nondemocratic nations, where gender ideology is often the least egalit…
Religion and Support for Democracy
This article examines citizens' support for democracy across forty-six nations. The authors use multilevel modeling and data from the World Values Survey and other sources to assess individuals' support for democracy in light of broader country-level factors as well as individual proclivities toward religion, politics and community. Findings suggest that the predominance of a particular religion in a nation does not influence individuals' views i…
Some Trends in Modern Marriage among West Africans
Opening Paragraph This article describes and attempts to analyse the nature and content of marital relationships in the ‘modern’ West African family. To an increasing extent educated young people apparently want a companionate marriage on Western lines (Marris, 1961). Evidence comes from interviewing and from studies made of the attitudes of students and of secondary school boys and girls in a number of countries, including Ghana, Nigeria, and Si…
