Moralization of E-cigarette Use and Regulation: A Mixed-Method Computational Analysis of Opinion Polarization
E-cigarette use, or vaping, is undergoing a process of moralization in which issues about vaping evolve from being morally neutral to having discernible moral implications. Using Moral Foundations Theory, this study compared the moral narratives underlying polarized views about e-cigarette use and regulation. We integrated computational and human strategies by conducting the Chow test on the time series data and classification, topic modeling, an…
Two Palmyrene funerary busts in the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Mo
We describe here two previously unpublished funerary busts from Palmyra and now in the collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, Mo. (inv. nos. 73-50 and 48-13). We trace the history of the busts’ ownership, engaging in a theoretical discussion of some issues involved in publishing unprovenanced artifacts. We describe each object briefly, giving accounts of the iconography and epigraphic data of each. Although we judge both obje…

Conduct Control on Usenet
In this paper we explore the nature of offensive conduct and its treatment on Usenet. Specifically, we examine the frequency, form, and tone of reproaches for misconduct on five newsgroups: rec.arts.tv.soaps; soc.motss; soc.singles; rec.sports.hockey; and comp.sys.ibm.pc.games. Where possible, subsequent accounts offered by offenders are also examined. Results indicate that few individuals respond publicly to their reproachers and that complete “…

Internet privacy practices of news media and implications for online journalism
In light of increases in online privacy concerns, use of online news sites, and news site data mining, a content analysis of 405 news media websites assessed information collection strategies and related privacy practices which impact on the relationship of news sources and news users. Sites from four categories of media types (Daily News, Internet Media, Magazines, and Weeklies) were coded for use of “cookies” and other information collection st…

When Hearing's Not Believing: Perceived Differences between Public and Private Explanations for Two Compliance Failures
This article compares respondents' beliefs about others' private and public explanations for failure to fulfill two compliance-gaining goals: providing assistance and accepting advice. Participants generated open-ended responses that were either acceptable accounts (public explanations) or probable causes (private attributions) for another's noncompliance. Data analysis showed that attributions and accounts tend to vary in form, and, as expected,…
Explaining One's Self to Others: Reason Giving in a Social Context
Reproductive Health: Caribbean Women in New York City, 1980–1984
People from the Caribbean represent one of the largest immigrant groups in New York City. This study focuses on the reproductive health of first generation Caribbean immigrants. Birth and death certificate data were used to generate descriptive profiles of risk-factor prevalence and reproductive outcomes to Caribbean and comparison populations

Conversation: How Talk Is Organized
McLaughlin presents a broad and scholarly survey of conversational organization which will appeal to a broad range of non-specialist readers. The book serves to keep people abreast of the fast-developing literature by providing a glossary of terms, sample conversations, an assessment of what is currently known, and guidelines for future research. The author is particularly interested in how the smaller elements in the stream of conversation are c…
Conversational Planning and Self-Serving Utterances: The Manipulation of Topical and Functional Structures in Dyadic Interaction
Thirty-two pairs of strangers were videotaped during a 15-minute interaction during which one of the pair, acting as a 'confederate' of the experimenters, inserted a pre-designated 'boast' into the conversation. Male and female confederates were observed to differ significantly on some aspects of their approach to the task: Women were significantly more likely to be calculating, top-down planners, while males were more likely to offer boasts as '…
Account sequences in conversations between strangers
The account sequence is proposed as a mechanism by which parties to initial encounters deal with the discovery of dissimilarity and other conversational “disagreeables.” A classification of offense, reproach, account, and evaluation forms is offered. The recorded conversations of 50 pairs of strangers were examined for the presence of account sequences. Each sequence was coded for type of offense, type of reproach, account strategy, and form of e…
Awkward Silences: Behavioral Antecedents and Consequences of the Conversational Lapse
Audio tape-recordings of 30-minute conversations between pairs of strangers (N=90) were scored for the frequency and duration of conversational lapses, interactive silences of three or more seconds occurring at the recognizable completion of a turn-constructional unit. Ten-utterance segments of conversation immediately prior and immediately subsequent to lapses were transcribed from the tapes of 45 of the conversations characterized by multiple l…
Prepared Lies, Spontaneous Lies, Machiavellianism, and Nonverbal Communication
This study investigated cue leakage during deception of factual information for both prepared and spontaneous types of lies. Liars anticipating lying engaged in less postural shifting and shorter latencies than truth tellers prior to lying. During a prepared lie, liars engaged in shorter latencies, shorter message durations, more affirmative head nodding, less smiling, and more body adaptors than truth tellers did. During a spontaneous lie, liars…
Perceptions of compliance‐gaining situations: A dimensional analysis
A multidimensional scaling investigation indicated that two situational dimensions (Intimacy and Resistance/Unfriendly) were replicated across samples of persuasive situations randomly drawn from a population of situations. Four other dimensions (Personal Benefits, Consequences, Dominance and Rights) were identified. Cluster analysis confirmed the interpretation of the dimensional solutions. A six‐factor structure of situation perception was prop…
Situational Influences on the Selection of Strategies to Resist Compliance-Gaining Attempts
This study investigated the effects of situational variables on the likelihood of use of four types of strategies to resist compliance-gaining attempts: identity managing, negotiation, justifying, and non-negotiation. Subjects rated strategies on the probability that they would actually use them to resist complying in each of eight situations, which varied systematically in the level of agent-target intimacy, the consequences to the target-agent …
Effects of Communication Isolation on Job Satisfaction of Bank Tellers: A Research Note
A multiple discriminant analysis was used to compare the job satisfaction of inside and outside bank tellers with respect to pay and promotion policies, supervision, nature of work, and co-workers. Significant differences between inside and outside tellers were found on these variables, with inside tellers expressing greater job satisfaction. It was concluded that isolation of employees from routine communication contacts with other personnel may…
