A Mother's Value Lies in Her Sexuality
This article examines the relationship between being a sexual woman and a good mother inThe Simpsons,Family Guy, andSouth Park. Considering the sexual criticisms of women in the 'Mommy Wars' which continue to be fought across the United States, we find that these three programs reproduce conservative assumptions about women's sexuality and motherhood. Through critical constructionist theories of humor and motherhood, mothers from each program are…
Household Size as a Correlate of Divorce Rate
Divorce remains one of the main challenges facing American families today. Previous studies have shown that the risk of divorce is influenced by many factors, including spouses' characteristics and the types of neighborhoods in which they live. This study extends previous work by examining the association between household size and divorce rate at the county level using 1990 and 2000 county-level data. The results show that household size is nega…
The effects of multiracial identification on students’ perceptions of racism
This paper compares the differing perceptions of racism reported by White (n = 222), Black (n = 99), and White–Black multiracial (n = 45) students at an urban campus of a Southern university. Using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), we examine the differences between the racial groups in three campus contexts—campus in general, with instructors, and with other students. Items chosen for analysis included behaviors or actions experienced by at …
The Impact of Concentrations of Religious Denominational Affiliations on the Rate of Currently Divorced in Counties in the United States
This study examines the question Does the rate of currently divorced in counties in the United States vary inversely to the relative percentage of concentration of adherents of seven different religious denominational groupings-Catholic, Jewish, Mormon, conservative Protestant, moderate Protestant, liberal Protestant, and miscellaneous Protestant-within those counties? The analysis is based on data from the 1990 U.S. Census and the Glenmary Resea…
College students’ condom purchase strategies
Despite wide accessibility of latex condoms, unplanned pregnancies and STD transmissions persist. Undergraduates' reports of a required condom purchase suggested purchase conditions that factor into condom use reluctance. Committed purchasers develop strategies that help complete the transaction. Males and females rely on similar purchase strategies. Female purchasers express more concern about the purchase and overall require more strategies, su…
The Impact of Religious Homogeneity on the Rate of Divorce in the United States
This study extends the understanding of the relationship between religious homogeneity, that is, the extent to which formal religious groups are concentrated at the county level, and the rate of persons currently divorced in those counties. Linking the research question to Durkheimian precepts of religion as an integrative force in social life, the essential question is, 'At the county level, does the rate of currently divorced vary inversely wit…
