Trends in the Relative Influence of Education and Income on Highbrow Taste, 1982-2012
Although numerous studies have confirmed the separate effects of economic and cultural capital on arts participation, research focusing on the cumulative and interactive effects of economic and cultural capital through the creation of taste publics is limited. Using data from the United States (Survey of Public Participation in the Arts [1982-2012]), this research integrates economic and cultural capital-measured as income and education-into the …
Is It the Government's Responsibility to Reduce Income Inequality? An Age-Period-Cohort Analysis of Public Opinion toward Redistributive Policy in the United States, 1978 to 2016
This study examines age, period, and cohort (APC) effects on changing opinions among the American public toward the federal government’s responsibility for income redistribution. More specifically, we use the hierarchical age–period–cohort (HAPC) model to analyze time periods and birth cohorts as contextual variables and age as an individual-level variable to address the identification problem inherent in APC analysis. Our results show that while…
Contextualizing Depressive Contagion
The purpose of this study is to examine microsocial and macrosocial contextual moderators of adolescent depressive contagion. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), the authors find evidence supporting the depressive contagion thesis. This effect is observed above and beyond key social relationship and sociodemographic controls. To examine the role of social context in moderating the effect of depressiv…
Sociological Analyses of Japanese Society in Japan, 2005–2010
Japanese sociologists’ work on Japanese society from 2005 through 2010 is critically examined. Articles published in the Japanese Sociological Review (JSR) during this period are analyzed along with books reviewed in the same journal. These publications are classified by their substantive areas and types of inquiries (quantitative, qualitative, theory, etc.). ‘Culture and social consciousness’ is the area where the largest numbers of articles and…
A Multi-level Analysis of Thirty-two Societies on Marital and Family Satisfaction
When we examine the quality of life for each individual, several specific dimensions need to be considered. Health conditions and quality of family relationships are critical. When the individual in question is married, his/her marital quality is important. When he/she has a job, subjective assessment of that job is important. Social relationships regarding friends, neighbors, colleagues, relatives, etc. may be critical also. Although the quality…
Displaced Older Adults' Reactions to and Coping With the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
Guided by an ecological perspective, the authors examined event, individual, structural/cultural, and family/community factors that shaped the psychological well-being of older adults displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. The authors first established the negative effects of displacement on psychological well-being by comparing displaced older adults with permanent Baton Rouge residents. Displaced older persons' psychological well-bein…
Challenges to Older Women's Sense of Self in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
We examined the personal challenges older women faced as they began to rebuild their sense of self after Hurricane Katrina. In-depth interviews with 74 older women approximately 6 months after the disaster revealed challenges in four domains: maintaining social connections, family connections but loss of independence, reestablishing a sense of place, and managing their own health or the health of a loved one. Follow-up data gathered several month…

The Division of Household Labor in Taiwan
In this paper, we examine how the interplay between economic resources and gender may explain the division of household labor in Taiwan, a society with the rich heritage of Chinese culture. As one of the few studies on the division of household labor among married couples in nonwestern settings, our analyses show both the similarities and differences between Taiwanese and American couples. Specifically, we found that men's share of household labo…

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Extended Family Households
Prevalence of extended family households and factors associated with them are examined for non-Hispanic whites, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics using data from the 1990 U.S. Census. Nuclear family households and three distinct types of extended family households (upward, downward, and horizontal) are identified, and racial/ethnic differences in the distribution of these types are noted. I contend that household extensions occur as a resu…

Sociological Determinants of Life Satisfaction in Japan
This is one of the first studies on causes and correlates of life satisfaction among Japanese, based on the theoretical framework of Thibaut and Kelley (1959) on satisfaction and a nationally representative sample of Japanese adults. Emphasized are the effects of such demographic variables as gender, marital status, age, and work‐related characteristics on life satisfaction. It is found that Japanese women are more satisfied with their lives than…
Division of Household Work Between Partners
Using data from National Survey of Families and Households, division of household work by married/cohabiting partners is analyzed for White and Black couples. Black couples are found to be more egalitarian than their White counterparts in their performance of household work. When work hours for pay and household work hours are combined, however, Black women are found to be most disadvantaged. The explanatory power of the theoretical model utilizi…
Living Arrangements of Elderly Chinese and Japanese in the United States
Living arrangements of elderly persons have been extensively studied in Asian countries and in the United States. Particularly at issue has been whether the elderly live in an extended family household, a nuclear family household, live alone, or in an institution. Cohabitation of two or more adult generations has been very common in most Asian countries. In China, the three-generation family continues to be an important family type today. A recen…
Division of Household Work in the United States and Japan
This is one of the few cross-cultural studies of division of household work using American and Japanese samples. Tested is a theoretical model based on time availability, resource exchange, and gender stratification perspectives regarding how much household work each spouse performs. It is found that household work is shared more equally in American couples, and this difference is not accounted for by different levels in predictor variables betwe…
An Analysis of Earnings Patterns for Chinese, Japanese, and Non-Hispanic White Males in the United States
This article examines simultaneously three theoretical explanations—assimilation, human capital, and discrimination—on the earnings attainment process of Chines, Japanese, and non-Hispanic white males in the United States. The analyses are conducted by level of education, by state of residence, and by nativety. We first apply the earnings determination model separately for each of the racial/ethnic groups to examine if earnings patterns are simil…
Determinants of Marital Satisfaction
Past literature, mostly based on US data, indicates that satisfaction with marriage is determined by each spouse's rewards from marital interactions but not by socioeconomic characteristics. To examine the differences and similarities between American and Japanese spouses in the determinants of marital satisfaction, comparative survey data are analyzed in this study. It was expected that expressive (interaction) aspects of marriage are more impor…
A Nonlinear Effect of the Number of Children on the Division of Household Labor
Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households (N = 3,472), the effect of the number of children on a husband's relative contribution to the household work is examined. When couples' mean age, employment status, income, education, employment hours, and gender-role attitudes are controlled, the number of children living in the home shows a nonlinear and U-shaped effect on the husband's relative share in the household work. The husb…
Husbands and Wives Living in Nuclear and Stem Family Households in Japan
This article explores living arrangements of middle-aged married couples living in Tokyo. Data were drawn from 645 married couples with at least one school-aged child. Twenty-five percent of couples in the sample lived with either spouse's parents. It was found that a married couple is likely to live with the parents if their marriage was arranged, the husband is the oldest son, and/or the wife is the oldest daughter without brothers. Neither the…
Determinants of Household Division of Labor
Using data from a large sample of married couples (N = 3,649), this study examines factors that are correlated with the amount of a husband's participation in domestic work. It was hypothesized that both spouses' earnings, work status, sex-role orientations, their power relationship, and the interaction between power and sex-role orientations were related to the husband's relative share in domestic work. The hypothesized relationships were found …
