Was freedom road a dead end? Socio‐economic effects of Reconstruction in the American South
We investigate how Reconstruction affected Black socio‐economic advancement after the American Civil War. We use the location of federal troops and Freedmen's bureau offices to indicate more intensive federal enforcement of civil rights. We find that Black people made greater socio‐economic advances where Reconstruction was more rigorously enforced, and that these effects persisted at least until the early twentieth century, although these advanc…
The Scholarship of Elegance and Significance
In this article, the authors examine the importance of expressive and aesthetic truth claims to public administration scholars, and present a model to aid them in making and evaluating such claims. Sincere expression adds credibility to an argument, and quality of expression can lend elegance to a truth claim. Expressive or aesthetic truth claims are not merely used to heighten emotions or enhance sensory experience; more importantly, they can al…
Prescriptive Thinking
This article presents a conceptual model related to normative truth claims and is advanced as part of a larger project involving the development of a logical taxonomy of options available to public administration scholars as they assess projects of various kinds. The model differentiates among five types of truth claims, two paradigmatic options, various theoretical perspectives, four forms of argumentation, and several kinds of evidence, creatin…
Self-Reflexivity
This article describes an empirical study of a select set of mid-level managers in the federal government. The study examined the participant's capacity to engage in the kind of self-reflexivity that Michael Harmon calls for in his 1995 book Responsibility as Paradox: A Critique of Rational Discourse on Government. Specifically, it focuses on the reflections of two participants, both of whom asserted a direct relationship between their religious …
The Iron Cage of Methodology
This article addresses the strategies and tools that public administration scholars use to understand phenomena of interest. The range of qualitative methods used has been limited, and the kind of rigor generally associated with quantitative methods has largely been absent in the application of their qualitative counterparts. Two conclusions are drawn from an analysis of articles published in two respected journals: Training on research methods i…
The Role of Evaluation in Developing Community-Based Interventions
The Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC) program sponsored by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is designed to support the development of partnerships between universities and colleges and the communities in which they reside. This manuscript reports on the initial stages of the evaluation of a COPC initiative in an impoverished neighborhood surrounding Indiana University Northwest (IUN) in Gary, Indiana. Four disti…
Sex Differences and Incentive Effects on Perceptual and Cardiovascular Responses to Cold Pressor Pain
OBJECTIVE: Sex differences in pain perception have been widely reported, with women typically displaying greater pain sensitivity than men, but the mechanisms underlying these differences remain unclear. One possible explanation suggests that men are more motivated to tolerate and suppress expressions of pain because of the masculine sex role, whereas the feminine sex role encourages pain expression and produces lower motivation to tolerate pain …
Ethnic Differences in Pain Tolerance
OBJECTIVE: Although numerous studies have independently examined ethnic differences in clinical and experimental pain, few have investigated differences in both sensitivity to controlled noxious stimuli and clinical pain reports in the same sample. The present experiment examined the effects of ethnicity (African American vs. white) on experimental pain tolerance and adjustment to chronic pain. METHODS: Three hundred thirty-seven (68 African Amer…
