  • Determinants of Food Safety Risks

    Open AccessAndrew Knight, Andrew J Knight et al.ARTICLERural Sociology2005Citada por: 10Referências: 45

    This research employs a multi-disciplinary approach by developing a model that draws upon psychometric, cultural, and reflexive modernization perspectives of risk perception. Using data from a 1999 national telephone survey, we tested our model on three food risks— pesticides, Salmonella, and fat. Results showed that perceptions of risks do vary by the nature of the risk investigated. Consistent with the psychometric perspective, the level of kno…

  • Don't Burn It Here

    Harry R Potter, Edward J Walsh et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1999

    When first proposed in this country during the 1970s, waste-to-energy (WTE) incinerators appeared to be ideal solutions to the growing mounds of trash in our throw-away society. Promising to convert useless garbage into electricity while saving precious landfill space, trash incinerators seemed perfectly timed to respond to a national need. Within a decade, however, a grassroots anti-incineration movement emerged as a vibrant offshoot of the envi…

  • Backyards, Nimbys, and Incinerator Sitings

    Edward J Walsh, Edward Walsh et al.ARTICLESocial Problems1993

    Edward Walsh, Rex Warland, D. Clayton Smith, Backyards, NIMBYs, and Incinerator Sitings: Implications for Social Movement Theory, Social Problems, Vol. 40, No. 1, Special Issue on Environmental Justice (Feb., 1993), pp. 25-38

  • Backyards, Nimbys, and Incinerator Sitings

    Edward J Walsh, Edward Walsh et al.ARTICLESocial Problems1993

    Arguing for the usefulness of an analytic distinction between equity and technology movements, this paper examines two siting disputes involving modern incinerators and asks why one was eventually built and the other defeated. Relevant variables for the analysis are identified from the contemporary social movement literature and a special industry report. After an initial focus on surveys of “backyard” residents and “NIMBYs” at the two proposed s…

  • Age and Locus of Control among Women Food Preparers

    Open AccessSandra S Houts, Rex H WarlandARTICLEPsychological Reports1989

    While it is theoretically plausible that locus of control and age are related, findings reported in the literature remain inconclusive. We suggest that the inconsistent results may be effects of differences in locus of control scale instruments used. For instance, will scales assuming multidimensionality of locus of control yield different results from scales assuming unidimensionality of the construct? Similarly, will scales that consist of gene…

  • Differential Paths to Political Activism

    Sherry Cable, Edward J Walsh et al.ARTICLESocial Forces1988Citada por: 11

    This paper compares political activists from four community protest organizations, formed in response to the March 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. Using survey data, newsletters, and fieldwork, we document the existence of two separate paths to protest involvement. In two communities, recruitment was less likely to occur along the lines of established social networks. Instead, utilitarian alliances grounded on shared g…

  • Social Movement Involvement in the Wake of a Nuclear Accident

    Edward J Walsh, Rex H WarlandARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review1983Citada por: 100Referências: 6

    Focusing on the community mobilization processes following the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident, this paper presents the first empirical tests of central hypotheses derivedfrom Olson (1965) involving both activists andfree riders in a natural setting. Focusing initially on a randomly selected sample of free riders from the TMI area, we first investigate the extent of, and reasons for, this phenomenon. Free riding in an actual mobilization process…

  • Empirical Taxonomy of Religious Individuals

    Erik E Filsinger, Joseph E Faulkner et al.ARTICLESociological Analysis1979Citada por: 1

    Factor analytic studies of religion have suggested that several aspects of the religious phenomenon do not necessarily covary with each other. Individuals may manifest their religiosity in different ways through a unique combination of high and/or low values on religious variables. A taxonomy of religious individuals can indicate the different approaches to religiosity, i.e., what types of religious individuals there are. Using hierarchical agglo…

  • Dimensions of Religiosity Reconsidered; Evidence from a Cross-Cultural Study

    Gordon F De Jong, J E Faulkner et al.ARTICLESocial Forces1976

    This paper supports the multidimensional conceptualization of religiosity by presenting empirical evidence for a strikingly similar dimensional pattern for a group of German and American students. An oblique factor analytic rotation solution identified six dimensions of religiosity: belief, experience, religious practice, religious knowledge, individual moral consequences, and social consequences. Factor intercorrelations show that for both Germa…
