Dark patterns in online shopping
Dark patterns – design interfaces or features that subtly manipulate people in making suboptimal decisions – are ubiquitous especially in e-commerce websites. Yet, there is little research on the effectiveness of dark patterns, and even lesser studies on testing interventions that can help mitigate their influence on consumers. To that end, we conducted two experiments. The first experiment tests the effectiveness of different dark patterns withi…
Gendered Places
In this study, we explore the dimensions of local gender norms across U.S. commuting zones. Applying hierarchical cluster analysis with four established indicators of gender norms, we find that these local cultural environments are best conceptualized with a multilevel framework. Commuting zones can be differentiated between those that are egalitarian and those that are traditional. Within these general categories, however, exist more complex dim…
Attitudes and the Stalled Gender Revolution
Empirical studies show that though there is more room for improvement, much progress has been made toward gender equality since the second wave of feminism. Evidence also suggests that women's advancements have been more dramatic in the public sphere of work and politics than in the private sphere of family life. We argue that this lopsided gender progress may be traced to uneven changes in gender attitudes. Using data from more than 27,000 respo…
Does sexual fluidity challenge sexual binaries? The case of bisexual immigrants from 1967–2012
Sexual binaries are persistent in society. Scholars argue that bisexuality, marked by sexual fluidity, complicates the reproduction of the hetero/homo divide. This article draws on archival data from multiple sources on bisexual immigrants from 1967 to 2012 to empirically test if sexual fluidity disrupts sexual binaries within the context of immigration. My findings show that instead of challenging entrenched sexual binaries, sexual fluidity help…
What Is Racial Residential Integration? A Research Synthesis, 1950-2013
In the past two decades, there has been a sharp increase in the number of studies on racial residential integration. However, there is a fair amount of disagreement in this work about how to conceptualize integration and how to operationalize it in research. We conduct a research synthesis of published research from 1950 to 2013 to uncover (1) how scholars have defined integration, (2) how scholars have measured integration, and (3) which ethnic/…
Emotionally Contentious Social Movements
After decades of seeing emotions as irrational and unimportant, scholars in social movements are beginning to value the role of emotions in social movements. This paper contributes to the burgeoning literature on emotions and contentious politics by proposing a synthesized tri-variate framework called the "emotional tripod." The emotional tripod consists of three mutually constitutive "legs" that explain the origins of emotions (emotional habitus…
