Social vulnerability and asthma-related emergency medical services in Illinois
Introduction This ecologic study explores the relationship between the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and probable asthma-related emergency medical service (EMS) rates before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at the county level in Illinois. Methods The number of asthma-related EMS visits was obtained in all 102 counties for adults aged 18 years or more, and for 82 of these counties for children aged less than 18 from 2018 to 2021. They were con…
Explaining Variation in the Use of Electoral Fusion
We analyze fusion candidacies (i.e., minor-party cross-nominations of major-party candidates) in New York congressional elections from 1978 to 2018. In addition to extending our understanding of electoral fusion, our study provides a deeper understanding of the role of minor parties within the American two-party system. We stress two strategic factors that influence the likelihood for cross-nominations: (a) major-party candidate issue positions, …
Gender bias in high stakes pitching
Permeable boundaries
Studies of candidate entry in the USA have either focused on the major parties and their primaries, non-major parties, or both but separately. We extend the research on American party politics by analyzing how potential candidates weigh different routes to the general election: major party primaries versus non-major party paths. We develop a theoretical model of candidate entry that recognizes the option to run outside of major party primaries an…
The effect of time since index trauma on trauma-related beliefs
These results indicate that trauma-focused therapies become less potent in reducing trauma-related beliefs as time progresses since trauma exposure, particularly in CPT, for beliefs about the world. Results indicate PTSD treatment should be provided in closer proximity to trauma exposure before negative trauma-related beliefs become inflexible.

Psychometric properties of the Posttraumatic Avoidance Behaviour Questionnaire among a treatment-seeking adult sample
Collectively, our results indicate that the PABQ is a potentially promising measure for assessing trauma-related avoidance behavior, although additional research is needed to better understand the degree to which these hypothesized distinct domains of avoidance behaviors represent meaningfully distinct constructs.

Potential centrifugal effects of majoritarian features in proportional electoral systems
Many scholars argue that proportional representation (PR) has fragmenting and polarizing effects on party systems (centrifugal effects), while the use of single-member districts has moderating effects (centripetal effects). Beyond these two extremes, in order to combat the potential negative consequences of fragmentation and polarization on government, PR systems can incorporate majoritarian features as a moderating influence. We examine this rel…
A Sum of Its Parts
Previous research has noted the transformation of the American parties since the 1970s, as exhibited in their increased ideological polarization and transformation on social issues like civil rights, abortion, and the environment. We contribute to the literature on party change by theoretically stressing the decentralized and individualistic nature of American parties, while using a measure of party change that is based on legislative behavior be…
Longitudinal change in self-reported peritraumatic dissociation during and after a course of posttraumatic stress disorder treatment
Objective: Peritraumatic dissociation, a dissociative reaction that occurs at the time of a traumatic event, has been established as a strong risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, self-reported peritraumatic dissociation is typically assessed months or years after trauma exposure and may be influenced by current distress levels and other factors. Method: We examined the temporal stability of scores on the Peritraumatic Di…
The effects of political parties on roll-call voting in Kenya’s Parliament
Parties are thought to organise democratic legislatures by influencing the voting behaviour of individual legislators. We examine whether parties and party coalitions influence the behaviour of legislators in Kenya. Ethnicity has been seen as the driver of party and electoral politics in Kenya and therefore Kenya provides a hard test of the proposition that political parties organise the legislature in Africa. Analysing roll-call voting in the 11…
Coordination and Party Change in the United States
The ability of American political parties to change issue positions is potentially hindered by problems of coordination. Research on parties since the 1990s has shown what tools party leadership can use to enforce discipline and cohesion among its ranks. We, however, question whether those theories of party control, which explain party stability, can straightforwardly explain party change. Oftentimes we think of parties strategically altering iss…
Prospects for Third Party Electoral Success in a Polarized Era
The trend of increasing major party polarization in the United States has raised concerns about the quality of representation and governance. One potential corrective is third parties, as they can hold the major parties accountable and instigate positive change. We, however, highlight limits to their influence. Two factors dampened the electoral support for third party candidates in the 2016 U.S. presidential election despite favorable conditions…
The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM–5 (Caps-5)
The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is an extensively validated and widely used structured diagnostic interview for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The CAPS was recently revised to correspond with PTSD criteria in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). This article describes the development of the CAPS for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) and presents the result…
Predicting Ambiguity
We present a formal model of party competition to explain differences in party ideological ambiguity. Existing works generally argue that parties are more or less ambiguous depending on whether their supporters are risk-acceptant or risk-averse. Our model explores more fully strategic choice of ambiguity by considering nonelectoral benefits to ambiguity—that is, party elite recruitment and retention. In terms of costs, we assume that all voters a…
Elite-level issue dynamics
We analyze elite-level issue dynamics of culture war issues in the US from 1971 to 2008 to compare and contrast three theories of issue change: issue evolution, conflict extension, and ideological polarization. Previous studies often conflate these perspectives by only focusing on increased partisanship as evidence of issue change. We argue that these theories differ on a key aspect of issue conflict: dimensionality, that is, the relationship bet…
Is posttraumatic growth trauma-specific? Invariance across trauma- and stressor-exposed groups
Findings indicate that PTG might not be qualitatively or quantitatively distinct from growth due to NTSEs, and TEs and NTSEs elicit similar levels of PTG. Limitations include cross-sectional design. (PsycINFO Database Record
Why Two Parties? Ambition, Policy, and the Presidency
Duverger’s Law suggests that two parties will dominate under first-past-the-post (FPTP) within an electoral district, but the law does not necessarily establish two-party competition at the national level. United States is unique among FPTP countries in having the only durable and nearly pure, two-party system. Following this observation, we answer two questions. First, what contributes to the same two parties competing in districts all across th…
Another tool in the party toolbox? Tracing the strategic expansion of committee size in the US House, 1947–2010
We consider whether the manipulation of committee sizes can serve as a strategic tool of the majority party to further its influence over policy outcomes in the US House. Previous research notes the influence of the majority party’s preferences on the composition of committees but takes the size of committees as exogenous. We argue that the determination of sizes is an important first step and potential tool to shape committee composition, given …
Third-party threat and the dimensionality of major-party roll call voting
Anticipating Entry
Observers of U.S. elections have reason to believe that third parties are not relevant political actors since they rarely win many votes or influence which major party wins an election. Researchers should use dependent variables besides vote choice and vote share to find third party effects that are a normal aspect of the American two-party system. A spatial model of elections motivates the hypothesis that a higher likelihood of third party entry…
Take the Good With the Bad
Institutional barriers frustrate third-party challenges to major-party dominance in American politics. Conventional wisdom claims that the ballot access petitioning requirement hurts minor parties. This claim, however, conflates two dimensions of third-party success: (a) ability to get on the ballot and (b) ability of actual candidates to win votes. The requirement is hypothesized to have a negative effect on the first dimension but a positive ef…
Comparing Strategic Voting Under FPTP and PR
Based on recent work that suggests that voters in proportional representation (PR) systems have incentives to cast strategic votes, the authors hypothesize that levels of strategic voting are similar in both first-past-the-post (FPTP) and PR systems. Comparing vote intentions in majoritarian elections in the United States, Mexico, Britain, and Israel to PR elections in Israel and the Netherlands, the authors find that a substantial proportion of …
Treatment Spillover Effects across Survey Experiments
Embedding experiments within surveys has reinvigorated survey research. Several survey experiments are generally embedded within a survey, and analysts treat each of these experiments as self-contained. We investigate whether experiments are self-contained or if earlier treatments affect later experiments, which we call “experimental spillover.” We consider two types of bias that might be introduced by spillover: mean and inference biases. Using …
