The Impact of Timing of Alcohol Consumption on Implicit Drinking Identity Among College Students with Heavy Episodic Drinking: The Role of Social Anxiety
Background: College students with high trait social anxiety and heavy episodic drinking appear to consume greater quantity of alcohol, presumably because individuals with higher trait social anxiety may be more responsive to the stress-response dampening effects of alcohol in social contexts due to appraisal disruption. Yet little research has tested the impact of appraisal disruption on implicit social cognitions relevant to drinking behaviors a…
Black audiences' Black-oriented media consumption and attitudes toward Black Nationalism
Black audiences’ media consumption and its relationship to individual well-being are well documented. However, empirical investigations that have examined Black audiences’ media consumption and feelings toward Black Nationalism, or loyalty toward Black community members and community well-being, are limited. Using a cross-sectional sample of US Black adults (N = 2137) from the National Study of American Life (NSAL), the current study drew on soci…

Racial differences in feelings of distress during the Covid‐19 pandemic and John Henryism Active Coping in the United States: Results from a national survey
Objective: To examine whether John Henryism Active Coping (JHAC) is a protective risk factor for distress during the COVID-19 pandemic and whether this association differs by race/ethnicity. Methods: Data were collected as part of the 2020 National Blair Center Poll. Higher scores on JHAC measured a greater behavioral predisposition to cope actively and persistently with difficult psychosocial stressors and barriers of everyday life. Results: Hig…

The aim of this paper is to examine whether the way one copes with stressful situations, as measured by John Henryism Active Coping (JHAC), influences behavioral responses to the pandemic, such as whether they engaged in mask wearing, social distancing, and hand washing. The data for this study come from the 2020 Blair Center Poll, which was conducted by the Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society at the University of Arkansas. Results show…

Gender differences in African Americans' reactions to and coping with discrimination: Results from The National Study of American Life
The aim of this paper is to examine coping behaviors in the context of discrimination and possible gender-specific differences among a national sample of African American adults in the 2001-2003 National Survey of American Life (NSAL). Results show that in multivariable logistic regression models, African American women (vs. African American men) were less likely to accept discrimination as a fact of life but were more likely to get mad about exp…

Results We find a “southern effect” occurs among African Americans. Southern bla…
From Black-ish to Blackness: An Analysis of Black Information Sources’ Influence on Black Identity Development
Prior research shows consumption of Black information affects the way people think. More specifically, it influences general racial group attitudes. However, the expectations about the amount of Black information and deeper understanding of its effect on racial identity development remain unclear. Using a unique survey data set, with large oversamples of Blacks, this article explores whether the amount of Black information consumed influences Bla…
Meaning-Making, Internalized Racism, and African American Identity
Racial Identity and Intergroup Attitudes: A Multiracial Youth Analysis
Objective This article examines the racial identity attitudes of white, black, and Hispanic youth and explores how these identities shape their feelings toward various racial and ethnic groups (whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Arabs, and biracial individuals). Methods Using the 2005 Youth Culture Survey data set, we test our theoretical expectations using descriptive statistics and multiple regression models. Results The relationship between ra…
The Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus: Race and Representation in the Pelican State
Since the creation of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus in 1977, the number of black lawmakers in the Louisiana legislature has increased; however, many of the socioeconomic indicators show that the condition of their constituents has failed to improve. In The Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus, Jas M. Sullivan and Jonathan Winburn analyze the evolution of the LLBC and raise critical questions as to the effectiveness and limitations of this …
The Significance of Race and Geography on Legislative Behavior: Exploring the Legislative Agenda in Post-Katrina Louisiana
Hurricane Katrina dramatically altered the political landscape in Louisiana, and a clear racial gap in public opinion formed regarding the governmental response to the storms. Using data from the 2005 and 2006 legislative sessions, the authors examine the changes in the legislative agenda in response to Hurricane Katrina with a focus on the role of race and district geography on these changes. They find an important influence for both district lo…
Measuring the Effects of Black Identity on Legislative Voting Behavior: An Exploratory Study
The Role of an African‐American Candidate on Psychological Engagement and Political Discussion in a Local Election
There have been numerous studies of African‐American political participation, but little research investigating the effect of African‐American candidates on political discussion. This is surprising, given the importance of political discussion in democratic theory and the increased attention it has received in the literature. We address this gap by examining the effect of a successful African‐American Democratic candidate on psychological engagem…
The Effects of Black Identity on Candidate Evaluations: An Exploratory Study
Although Barack Obama’s entrance into the 2008 presidential campaign has been warmly received by Whites, Blacks have been somewhat ambivalent. Some even have claimed that Obama is not “Black.” The case of Barack Obama brings to the forefront the prospect of intragroup identity differences that exist among Blacks and the potential importance of a candidate’s racial background in elections. Consequently, the authors ask the following questions: (a)…
Evolution or revolution? the rise of UAVs
Evolutionary trends in pilotless aircraft need to be identified and put in context. Instead of focusing on trends in the technical development of pilotless aircraft, in this article the pilotless aircraft concept will be tracked through its various incarnations over time. Since unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are often included in the ongoing revolution in military affairs, they are seen as a new concept, created for the age of "information warfa…

The Contribution of the Association of National Advertisers to Better Present Business Practices
ACTUALLY there are comparatively few industrial companies in which there can be said to be marketing practices. There are advertising methods, selling methods; as a rule-I am speaking of large and more advanced concerns in commercial operations-there is pretty consistent and well-defined combined and co-ordinated advertising-selling practice. The imaginary line between Advertising Land and the Kingdom of Sales has been, is being, crossed so often…
