The Impact of Differing Identity Meanings on Fears of Death
The relationship between fear of death and religiosity remains unclear, with research offering conflicting evidence. Existing theories——including buffering theory, terror management theory, death apprehension theory, and curvilinearity theory—have struggled to reconcile findings that suggest positive, negative, or curvilinear relationships. This study introduces a novel framework to categorize identity meanings. Grounded in identity theory, I dis…

Religious Hospitals and Poorer Health Outcomes
Amid state and federal initiatives to bolster healthcare practitioners' religious freedom, the impact of hospital religious affiliations on health outcomes has become a pertinent question. Despite the significance of this issue, there appears to be a lack of research examining the potential differences in health outcomes between religiously affiliated and secular hospitals. Addressing this gap, our exploratory study utilizes health outcome data f…
Ethnic-Racial Socialization and Far-Right Support Among White Young Adults
The contemporary rise in the far right, marked by strong nationalist sentiments, xenophobia, and derogation of racial outgroups, necessitates an understanding of what drives individuals toward these views. Despite extensive research on personality and demographic factors influencing far-right support, the role of ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) remains under-explored, particularly in white families. Using a national sample of white young adults…
Troubled” Meanings
The Troubles in Northern Ireland ranks among the most violent periods in recent history. While social movements scholars have long sought to understand the conflict, often they do not include micro-level approaches. We use affect control theory and cultural meanings among Catholics gathered at the height of The Troubles to create prototypical group members and then simulate interactions across and between groups. Using cultural meanings gathered …
Cross‐national governmental treatment toward atheists since 1816
As the atheist population grows globally, understanding how governments treat the growing population is vital. Two theories, group threat theory (GTT) and world society theory (WST), offer differing predictions. GTT suggests increasing atheists may face unfavorable treatment because religious groups perceive them as a threat. Conversely, WST proposes that a more interconnected world culture advances secularism, which promotes positive treatment f…
Ethnic-Racial Socialization in White American Families and Young Adult Political Attitudes
The United States is in a time of reckoning with whiteness. Despite white people benefiting from a disproportionate amount of power at every level of government, a significant racial wealth gap, preferential treatment in the legal system, and a rise in white supremacy, "colorblind" critics continue to argue against the relevance of race in a purportedly post-racial society. We assert that parents' ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) of their childr…
Income Inequality, World Polity, and Political Secularization
Previous works find descriptive evidence for a long-term political secularization trend during the nineteenth century, and a political desecularization trend starting in the late 1970s. This study, however, is an attempt to go beyond mere descriptions of global trends by introducing a methodological approach that can effectively account for the differences between countries in their paths either toward or away from political secularization. We us…
Contextual Factors in Ethnic-Racial Socialization in White Families in the United States
Recent demographic shifts and sociopolitical events in the United States have led to a racial reckoning in which white people are engaging with issues of race and racism in new ways. This study addressed the need for research to better understand contextual factors in ethnic-racial socialization (ERS)—strategies in white families to teach children about their own and other people’s ethnicity or race. It examined the relation of neighborhood, scho…
The History and Future of the Sociology of Therapy
Monsters, Michael Myers, and the Macabre as Tools to Explain Ideological Framing
Framing as a metacommunicative device establishes the narrative of a given story and mobilizes emotional support. Within the framework of monster theory, horror movies are seen as a way of framing common fears about moral decay, concerns about the future, anxiety about outgroup members, and spiritual unknowns. In the classroom, we explore the monstrous body as a stand-in for the demonized (often literally) outgroup. Through tracing some of the hi…
