More Sessions Make a Difference
We examined the role of counseling centers in retention in universities, specifically for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+); as first generation; and as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC) and students who have a mental illness diagnosis. Number of sessions at the center was associated with increased likelihood to stay enrolled (p < .001). First-generation (p < .01) and LGBTQ+ (p < .05) stud…

Meaning, Discrepancy, and Satisfaction in the Nurse Role
What it means to be a nurse has changed over time. This article explores the changing meanings for the nurse role in a sample of Bachelor of Science nursing students by analyzing 30 nurse role attributes documented in the nursing literature. Students' perceptions of obligatory and self-in-role meanings are assessed, and multiple role meaning dimensions are identified. Identity-discrepancy theory is used to determine whether discrepancies between …
Rural mountain natives, in-migrants, and the cultural divide
Conventional wisdom suggests that different views held by native and in-migrant rural residents lead to a division that ultimately damages community. Using a sample of rural residents in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, we seek to (1) determine whether these groups differ and, if they do, (2) explain the predictors of the difference. Our results suggest that there are demographic and attitudinal differences between natives and in-migrants, alt…
The Importance of Trust in Government for Public Administration
Many scholars argue that citizens with higher levels of political trust are more likely to grant bureaucratic discretion to public administrators than citizens with lower levels of trust. Trust, therefore, can relieve the tension between managerial flexibility and political accountability in the modern administrative state. Unfortunately, there is little empirical evidence showing that trust is actually associated with citizens’ willingness to ce…
Mental Health Disparities Across Education and Sex
Results indicate that the persistence of disparities across education resulted primarily from one single set of respondents with chronic psychopathology over the 13 years of the survey, while the persistence of disparities across sex involved new sets of women as the cohort aged. We discuss implications of these results for theory and policy

Are Religious People Nice People? Religiosity, Race, Interview Dynamics, and Perceived Cooperativeness
Prior research has shown consistently that religiosity, as indexed by self-reported frequency of prayer, is associated positively with 'niceness,' measured by interviewers'ratings of respondents'cooperativeness. We used data pooled from the 1983, 1988, and 1993 General Social Surveys to further examine the association between religiosity and niceness, and to raise questions about the adequacy of this currently preferred operationalization of nice…
