Impacts of open‐pit coal mining and livestock grazing on plant diversity in a steppe: From the perspective of remote sensing
Coal mining and grazing cause land degradation. Plant diversity loss is one of the characteristics. Ground surveys cannot analyze the effects of mining and grazing on plant diversity in large areas, and remote sensing offers a novel solution. The aims of this study were as follows: (1) to analyze the impacts of mining and grazing on plant diversity composition by considering α‐, β‐, and γ‐ diversity comprehensively; (2) to determine the impacts o…
A model of (often mixed) stereotype content: Competence and warmth respectively follow from perceived status and competition
Stereotype research emphasizes systematic processes over seemingly arbitrary contents, but content also may prove systematic. On the basis of stereotypes' intergroup functions, the stereotype content model hypothesizes that (a) 2 primary dimensions are competence and warmth, (b) frequent mixed clusters combine high warmth with low competence (paternalistic) or high competence with low warmth (envious), and (c) distinct emotions (pity, envy, admir…

Racial Differences in Public Confidence in Education: 1974–2002
Objective. This article examines the black‐white gap in confidence in education in the United States and how the gap has changed over time. Method. The study uses ordinal logit regression on General Social Surveys (1974–2002). Results. Whites have less confidence in education, partly because whites tend to have higher levels of education, income, and conservatism, and are more likely to be affiliated with the Republican Party and evangelical deno…

Religion and Well-being: The Moderating Role of Culture and the Oxytocin Receptor (OXTR) Gene
Research suggests that religiosity, or the importance of religion in one's life, may be related to well-being, but little is known about how culture and genes may play a role in this relationship. Given that religion in a North American cultural context tends to emphasize social affiliation less than in an East Asian cultural context and that some people may be genetically predisposed to be more socially sensitive than others, the way religion is…

The Marginalized "Model" Minority: An Empirical Examination of the Racial Triangulation of Asian Americans
In this article, we propose a shift in race research from a one-dimensional hierarchical approach to a multidimensional system of racial stratification. Building upon Claire Kim’s (1999) racial triangulation theory, we examine how the American public rates Asians relative to blacks and whites along two dimensions of racial stratification: racial valorization and civic acceptance/ostracism. Using selected years from the General Social Survey, our …

Comparing, Confounding, or Clarifying: Alternative Measures of Statistical Group Comparisons in Binary Regression Models
Interpreting results from nonlinear models can be complex and cumbersome, especially when it comes to group comparisons. Focusing on predicted probabilities and marginal effects, this study proposes a three-dimensional systemic approach (i.e., prediction vs. effect, difference vs. ratio, and local vs. global) to making group comparisons in binary regression models. Using data from the 2002 General Social Survey and 2003 China General Social Surve…

Investigation of Response Changes in the GRE Revised General Test
Research on examinees’ response changes on multiple-choice tests over the past 80 years has yielded some consistent findings, including that most examinees make score gains by changing answers. This study expands the research on response changes by focusing on a high-stakes admissions test—the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning measures of the GRE revised General Test. We analyzed data from 8,538 examinees for Quantitative and 9,140 for …
