  • Correlation Coefficients: Appropriate Use and Interpretation

    Open AccessPatrick Schober, Christa Boer et al.ARTICLEAnesthesia & Analgesia2018

    Correlation in the broadest sense is a measure of an association between variables. In correlated data, the change in the magnitude of 1 variable is associated with a change in the magnitude of another variable, either in the same (positive correlation) or in the opposite (negative correlation) direction. Most often, the term correlation is used in the context of a linear relationship between 2 continuous variables and expressed as Pearson produc…

    Robert Entman argues that media neglect most corruption and provide too little scandal coverage. Corruption, immorality, or incompetence by Presidents sometimes generate an avalanche of negative publicity but at other times such misdeeds are ignored or downplayed by the media. This book reveals the underlying logic to this inconsistency in media responses. Robert Entman compares high magnitude presidential scandals between 1998 and 2008 with pote…

    Studies attempting to integrate voting studies and normative political theory are sporadic in the political science literature. Peter Natchez wanted to include these two fields.

Rolfe’s book is a study of traditional political participation with intellectual roots in the study of collective action and social movements. She treats voting as a socially defined practice instead of as an individual choic…

    Declining voter turnout at elections is a problem in many democracies. Is transition to a system with mandatory voting a solution for this problem? In about a quarter of all democracies, citizens are legally obligated to participate in elections. In this book, Sara Birch examines the history of the institution of compulsory voting, the normative, and empirical arguments for and against it and the influence it has on a range of political phenomena…

  • The Polls: The European Peace Movement and Deployment of Nuclear Missiles

    Connie De Boer, Christa BoerARTICLEPublic Opinion Quarterly1985Cited by: 16

    ON DECEMBER 12, 1979, NATO adopted what is called the dual resolution for maintaining unity among the NATO allies. It was decided both to station 572 medium-range missiles in Western Europe and to conduct negotiations with the Soviet Union on arms control so as to obviate the need for this deployment. The peace movement, which had gained a large following as early as 1977-78 with its actions against the neutron bomb, grew into a real mass movemen…
