Does HIV status affect attitudes on welfare deservingness? A survey experiment on welfare policy in the US
Studies examining welfare recipients’ deservingness are becoming increasingly more important as the US continues to debate access to unemployment benefits and make access to Medicaid more conditional. While there has been extensive research on the deservingness of some groups of welfare recipients, the intersection of HIV-related stigma and welfare deservingness has not been heavily studied since the early 2000s, leaving gaps in our knowledge of …
Social Network, Trust, Approval of President Biden, Risk Perception, and Annual Covid-19 Booster Intention
The aim of this study is to understand the American public’s attitudes toward the annual coronavirus disease booster vaccination, administered beginning in the fall of 2023. The authors carried out a national survey in the spring of 2023, with 40 percent of respondents saying that they are “very likely” to receive the regular booster when it becomes available. Several underlying predictors are identified through structural equation modeling analy…
Politically Motivated Avoidance in Social Networks: A Study of Facebook and the 2020 Presidential Election
This study considers politically motivated unfriending/unfollowing on Facebook in the lead up to the 2020 Presidential election. As social media has grown more central to public discourse, it has been suggested that these types of avoidance behaviors might contribute to the formation of partisan echo chambers, whereby users may limit their exposure to competing viewpoints and corrective information by eliminating the network ties that transmit it…
Rise of the Machines? Examining the Influence of Social Bots on a Political Discussion Network
The growing influence of social bots in political discussion networks has raised significant concerns, particularly given their potential to adversely impact democratic outcomes. In this study, we report the results of a case study analysis of bot activity in a recent, high-profile political discussion network. Specifically, we examine the prevalence and impact of bots in a Twitter network discussing the Special Counsel investigation into Russian…
Crisis Communications in the Age of Social Media: A Network Analysis of Zika-Related Tweets
While emerging technologies such as social media have demonstrated value for crisis communications, significant question remains regarding how these tools can be most effectively leveraged to facilitate the flow of valid information under crisis conditions. In an effort to address these issues, this article examines the use of Twitter during the 2015–2016 Zika virus outbreak in the United States. Particular attention is paid to network structures…
Incentives for Sharing Knowledge: A Survey of Scholarly Practices in Public Affairs and Administration
This study examines the scholarly practice of “knowledge sharing” and the extent to which it is rewarded by prevailing faculty-incentive structures. Following recent calls for greater connectivity between the academic and practitioner communities in both political science and public administration, there is a need for greater empirical evidence regarding the extent to which these practices are being employed across the discipline and how their us…
Making It Count: Breadth and Intensity of Extracurricular Engagement and High School Dropout
Previous research suggests that extracurricular engagement reduces the likelihood of high school dropout, particularly among traditionally at-risk populations such as racial and ethnic minorities and students from low-income families. Using social bond theory, we examine how the breadth and intensity of extracurricular engagement are related to the likelihood of dropout among a nationally representative sample of students over three years of scho…
