The Future of Coding: A Comparison of Hand-Coding and Three Types of Computer-Assisted Text Analysis Methods
Advances in computer science and computational linguistics have yielded new, and faster, computational approaches to structuring and analyzing textual data. These approaches perform well on tasks like information extraction, but their ability to identify complex, socially constructed, and unsettled theoretical concepts-a central goal of sociological content analysis-has not been tested. To fill this gap, we compare the results produced by three c…
Economic Self-Reliance and Gender Inequality between U.S. Men and Women, 1970–2010
Women have become increasingly economically self-reliant, depending more on paid employment for their positions in the income distribution than in the past. We know little about what happened to men, however, because most prior research restricts changes in self-reliance to be "zero-sum," with women's changes necessitating opposite and proportionate changes among men. This article introduces a measure that allows asymmetric changes and also incor…
Exposure to rising inequality shapes Americans’ opportunity beliefs and policy support
Significance Although rising economic inequality in the United States has alarmed many, research across the social sciences repeatedly concludes that Americans are largely unconcerned about it. We argue that this conclusion may be premature. Here, we present the results of three experiments that test a different perspective—the opportunity model of beliefs about inequality. Tempering the conclusions of past work, the findings suggest that percept…
Infrastructure, Social Practice, and Environmentalism: The Case of Bicycle-Commuting
Automobile travel is a major contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing car travel could slow climate change, but this goal is made difficult by the constellation of economic, political, cultural, and infrastructural forces that form a mutually reinforcing “system of automobility.” This complexity suggests the need for an approach that attends to both the reciprocal relationship between infrastructure and practice and the moderating inf…
