Play fair: The impact of issue framing on attitudes toward transgender youth participation in sports
Introduction Policies restricting sports participation by transgender youth have spread across the United States. The Trump administration has also taken a variety of executive actions to ban participation by transgender athletes. Methods Little research has examined how issue framing affects attitudes toward these policies. Some LGBT advocates recommend emphasizing egalitarian and loss-based arguments, as well as acknowledging discomfort regardi…
Further explorations into the complexities of femininity and masculinity
This text explores Dana Birksted-Breen's notions of penis-as-link and negative and positive femininity, rooted in primitive mental and bodily states, in a dialogue between the manifestations of the biological body and their interpretation by the psyche in the construction of a sexed bodily mind. When the capacities for introjection have been impaired from an early stage, there is a great difficulty in representing and relating to a receptive inte…
American Federalism: A Blessing and a Curse for Transgender Rights
The development of transgender rights in the United States has been hobbled by a patchwork of inconsistent state laws. The irregularity is a function of the political opportunity structure in the United States, which is defined by a sharp partisan divide and by the federal system’s division of power. National policymaking on transgender rights has stalled in Congress. Executive branch policymaking is often subject to challenge in the federal cour…
Cultural Threat, Outgroup Discrimination, and Attitudes toward Transgender Rights
Scholars often highlight the roles that group threat and intergroup solidarity play in shaping attitudes toward outgroups. Competition among social groups, including over values and culture, can underlie negative attitudes toward outgroups. Meanwhile, perceptions of discrimination against outgroups can drive feelings of solidarity, sympathy, or empathy, which may foster more positive attitudes. These social identity concepts are often studied in …
Les formes précoces de la vie psychique: Précurseurs de la (bi)sexualité
Les formes précoces de la vie psychique contribuent aux formes de la sexualité infantile et à leur expression dans la sexualité adulte. Les enjeux d’interpénétration émotionnelle dans les premiers moments de la croissance psychique sont rejoués dans la dynamique des dispositions psychiques de l’analysant et de l’analyste pendant la séance analytique. La pénétrabilité émotionnelle, avec ses variantes, est une des sources importantes des capacités …
Taking perspective of the stories we tell about transgender rights: The narrative policy framework
Our project uses the narrative policy framework (NPF) to explore narrative effects on attitudes about transgender rights. The framework focuses on the stories that are told about public policy. As opposed to conceptualizing communications as informational, NPF suggests that getting lost in the story is primary for attitude change. We also incorporate a perspective taking exercise to examine its effects on individual attitudes. Using an experiment…
What is Fascism Without a State: Countering Claims of Bataille’s Left Fascism
The recent increased prominence of far-right movements and nationalism has led to a renewed focus on the political thought of the early twentieth century. This era is defined by large strands of anti-liberalism, fascism, communism, and other political inclinations and practices that have largely fallen out of favour. Nevertheless, there are a multitude of thinkers that occupy unique niches that avoid these classifications but are associated with …
Transitioning Opinion
Few public opinion surveys addressed transgender rights prior to 2015, but scholarly attention to these issues began to proliferate with a series of surveys from 2015 and 2016 that identified a number of important variables shaping attitudes toward transgender people and policies. Yet, the political environment surrounding transgender rights has changed significantly since 2015, with increasing public attention to these issues, more prominent pos…
Feasibility, Acceptability, and Outcomes of a Yoga-Based Meditation Intervention for Hospice Professionals to Combat Burnout
(1) Background. This research examined the feasibility, acceptability and outcomes of delivering a 6-week yoga-based meditation intervention to clinical teams of hospice professionals (HPs) at a large non-profit hospice organization. The intervention was designed to increase mind-body integration and combat burnout. This article was written for different audiences, including research scientists who study interoception, burnout, meditation, or yog…
Public Attitudes on Transgender Military Service: The Role of Gender
Policy regarding the inclusion of transgender soldiers in the U.S. Military has shifted back and forth in recent years, with public opinion likely a significant factor shaping the eventual policy outcome. As such, this study examines the factors that shape public attitudes toward military service by transgender people. In particular, we examine the influence of sex, social gender roles, and attitudes toward gender in shaping transgender military …

Hospice Employees’ Perceptions of Their Work Environment: A Focus Group Perspective
Burnout in healthcare professionals can lead to adverse effects on physical and mental health, lower quality of care, and workforce shortages as employees leave the profession. Hospice professionals are thought to be at particularly high risk for burnout. The purpose of the study was to evaluate workplace perceptions of interdisciplinary hospice care workers who provide care to patients at end of life. Six focus groups and one semi-structured int…

The Politics of Being “Cait: Caitlyn Jenner, Transphobia, and Parasocial Contact Effects on Transgender-Related Political Attitudes
Celebrities saturate American culture and often become relevant in politics, yet political science has largely left unstudied how celebrities affect mass political behavior. We focus on the 2015 story of Caitlyn Jenner revealing her transgender identity. Using an original nationally representative survey from that summer, we examine whether following the Jenner story and evaluations of its social significance affected attitudes toward transgender…
LGBTQ State Legislative Candidates in an Era of Backlash
In 2017, transgender woman Danica Roem stunned political observers in Virginia by unseating a long-time anti-LGBTQ legislator from a conservative district in the Virginia House of Delegates.1 She was the first openly transgender person elected and seated to a state legislature. Delegate Roem’s election was historic in LGBTQ political representation, but it also occurred in a period when backlash against the LGBTQ community seemed to be growing (T…

Understanding an Urban Park through Big Data
To meet the needs of park users, planners and designers must know what park users want to do and how they want the park to offer different activities. Big data may help planners and designers gain this knowledge. This study examines how big data collected in an urban park could be used to identify meaningful implications for planning and design. While big data have emerged as a new data source, big data have not become an accepted source of data …
Morality Politics and New Research on Transgender Politics and Public Policy
Recent political debate over transgender military service and gendered bathroom use highlights a dramatic increase in salience over transgender issues in the US. In this essay, we examine a potential new front in the culture wars by reviewing recent empirical research in social science on the politics of transgender rights in the context of morality politics. Research on morality politics has often focused on LGBT rights, with an emphasis on gay …
Precious little: Birth and death in the analytic process
What makes for the liveliness of a silence? How does liveliness prevail over destructivity in the unconscious encounter between two body-minds in the analytic process? What is being experienced unconsciously can go against the tendency to repeat, because the unconscious and conscious response of the analyst does not repeat the closing and/or the intrusiveness of the primary environment. The necessary receptivity required from the analyst and his/…

Transgender prejudice reduction and opinions on transgender rights: Results from a mediation analysis on experimental data
Fears, phobias, and dislikes about minorities should be strong determinants of whether Americans support policies protecting such minorities. Studies suggest that discussions and information about transgender people can reduce transphobia. However, these studies also indicate that experimental treatments do not necessarily affect individual attitudes on policies concerning transgender rights. Scholars contend that durably reducing prejudice shoul…
How Republicans Won on Voter Identification Laws: The Roles of Strategic Reasoning and Moral Conviction
Objectives American political elites heatedly disagree over voter identification (ID) laws. Yet, the issue is not particularly polarizing at the mass level. Previous research mostly explores voter ID attitude correlates and how those policies shape turnout, but offers less insight into how average citizens understand the issue. We explore competing partisan frames on voter ID—voter fraud and voter suppression—that advance subtexts about partisan …
Challenged Expectations: Mere Exposure Effects on Attitudes About Transgender People and Rights
Social categorization processes may be initiated by physical appearance, which have the potential to influence how people evaluate others. Categorizations ground what stereotypes and prejudices, if any, become activated. Gender is one of the first features people notice about others. Much less is known about individuals who may transgress gender expectations, including people who are transgender. Using an experiment, this study investigates wheth…
Bringing “T” to the table: Understanding individual support of transgender candidates for public office
Of central importance to groups is the representation of their interests in government. A direct strategy for representation is to elect officials that identify with the group. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement has increasingly been successful in fielding LGB candidates for local, state, and national offices, even though these candidates face barriers. But while many lesbian and gay candidates have achieved electoral suc…
Transgender politics as body politics: Effects of disgust sensitivity and authoritarianism on transgender rights attitudes
Transgender identity inherently involves body politics, specifically how transgender people may physically represent gender in ways that do not match their assigned sex at birth and how some may alter their bodies. Yet, political behavior research on transgender rights attitudes leaves unaddressed the role of transgender bodies in shaping those attitudes. Using an original, representative national survey of American adults, we analyze how authori…
Degrees of Acceptance: Variation in Public Attitudes toward Segments of the LGBT Community
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community includes a diverse set of groups, including distinct groups based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity, but it is not clear whether the public makes distinctions in their attitudes toward these subgroups. If they do, what factors motivate individuals to evaluate gays and lesbians differently from transgender people? This study analyzes Americans’ attitudes toward these communities, …
Red and Blue States of Mind: Partisan Hostility and Voting in the United States
Based on social comparison and social identity theory, we argue that average partisans in contemporary U.S. politics view elections as group competitions in which partisan identities are at stake. Using nationally representative survey data, we demonstrate that stronger partisan identities, more than ideological identities or issue preferences, are associated with a greater sense of partisan hostility—specifically, party rivalry and anger. That h…

Testing Contact Theory and Attitudes on Transgender Rights
Most of the public opinion research about sexual and gender minorities has focused on attitudes about lesbians and gay men, support for gay rights policies, and the factors that affect these attitudes. In particular, interpersonal contact with gay and lesbian individuals consistently is shown to positively affect attitudes toward these groups. Comparable studies about transgender people and transgender rights are few in number, and these studies …

The Emotional Citizen: Emotion as a Function of Political Sophistication
Scholars and popular commentators have often stereotyped emotion as a tool that citizens use to reason about politics in place of hard fact and critical thought. Indeed, critics have often seen emotion as a potentially dangerous force that can sway the unsophisticated masses to undesirable ends. This article challenges the view that emotion is an outgrowth of low sophistication, arguing that high sophisticates are more likely to experience emotio…

Talking Politics on Facebook: Network Centrality and Political Discussion Practices in Social Media
This study examines the relationship between political discussion on Facebook and social network location. It uses a survey name generator to map friendship ties between students at a university and to calculate their centralities in that network. Social connectedness in the university network positively predicts more frequent political discussion on Facebook. But in political discussions, better connected individuals do not capitalize equally on…

Piera Aulagnier, an introduction: Some elements of her intellectual biography
Notes1. The Société Française de Psychanalyse was founded by Daniel Lagache and Jacques Lacan, after the first split in the history of psychoanalysis in France in 1953. There trained a number of talented young analysts who greatly contributed later to psychoanalytic thinking in France: Piera Aulagnier, J.B. Pontalis, Jean Laplanche, François Perrier, Wladimir Granoff, Daniel Widlöcher, Guy Rosolato, J.P. Valabrega.2. She did a second analysis wit…
Why partisan warriors don't listen: The gendered dynamics of intergroup anxiety and partisan conflict
Talking and listening to political opponents is central to the proper functioning of deliberative democracy. But the social identity dynamics of partisan intergroup conflict make party identifiers in the US – Democrats and Republicans alike – less likely to engage in these activities. We argue that those group dynamics are gendered such that men are more sensitive than women to intergroup conflict and competition. Consequently, men are more likel…

Métabolisations psychiques du corps dans la théorie de Piera Aulagnier
A mesure qu'elle s'éloignait de l'influence de Lacan, Piera Aulagnier a replacé le corps et l'affect en position centrale dans la théorisation de la psychanalyse. La notion d'emprunt au modèle somatique pour l'élaboration de la vie psychique par métabolisation conduit à la notion d'une attente d'information sensorielle de la part de l'organisation sensible. La notion de porte-parole, qui dépend encore de la théorie du signifiant, cède la place à …
Scarcity, Income Advantage, and Mobility: More Evidence on the Functional Theory of Stratification
Two testable propositions suggested in the Davis and Moore functional theory of stratification are examined: the effect of scarcity on rewards and the effect of higher rewards on mobility. Data on the occupation of public school teaching for the period 1930 to 1971 were analyzed and compared with other wage and salary workers during those years. The proposition that scarcity increases rewards is rejected by these data, because higher incomes occu…

Formes élémentaires de la bisexualité psychique
Les formes précoces de la vie psychique sont déjà marquées, en-deçà des représentations de choses et des représentations de mots, par la différence du masculin et du féminin, qui ne prendra sa valeur sexuelle pour le sujet que dans l'après-coup. Aux difficultés rencontrées dans la théorie pour trouver des modes de figurations de ce masculin/féminin primitif, font écho les difficultés contre-transférentielles de l'analyste lorsqu'il écoute son pat…
Teenage alcoholic beverage preferences: Risks and responses
The preferences of 2641 teenagers for beer wine or spirits were assessed and compared to other variables examined in the UK part of the European School survey project on alcohol and other drugs (ESPAD). Preference assessment was indirect, relying on the frequencies of consumption of the different beverages in the past month. Wine was less commonly preferred than either beer or spirits. Girls were more likely than boys to prefer wine or spirits an…
The Way of the Lord: Essays in Old Testament Theology
The essays in this volume represent a theological interpretation especially focused on the Decalogue and the Psalms. The essays on the Commandments lay out an understanding of them as a kind of constitutional guideline for the life of the community of faith that is then developed in many specific and illustrative ways in the rest of Scripture - legislation, narrative, prophetic oracle, psalm, and wisdom saying. The various treatments of the Psalm…
