Peirce in the Machine
Mixture of experts is a prediction aggregation method in machine learning that aggregates the predictions of specialized experts. This method often outperforms Bayesian methods despite the Bayesian having stronger inductive guarantees. We argue that this is due to the greater functional capacity of mixture of experts. We prove that in a limiting case of mixture of experts will have greater capacity than equivalent Bayesian methods, which we vouch…
Epistemic virtue in higher education
Epistemic virtues are character traits conducive to principled ways of thinking, leading to a life of flourishing. Recent years have witnessed an emergence of theoretical accounts describing how they develop. However, few if any studies have conducted rigorous empirical investigation into the mechanisms of intellectual virtue development. In this study, we review several significant frameworks before utilizing a randomized, pretest/posttest contr…
Putting the “Decision” in Ramsey's “Theories”
No free theory choice from machine learning
Ravit Dotan argues that a No Free Lunch theorem (NFL) from machine learning shows epistemic values are insufficient for deciding the truth of scientific hypotheses. She argues that NFL shows that the best case accuracy of scientific hypotheses is no more than chance. Since accuracy underpins every epistemic value, non-epistemic values are needed to assess the truth of scientific hypotheses. However, NFL cannot be coherently applied to the problem…
Bridging the Border between Work and Family
We examine the relationship between supervisor-employee race/ethnicity, gender, and caregiving similarity and employees’ perceptions that supervisors provide support for bridging the border between work and family life. Employees report greater net perceived supervisor interactional support, but not instrumental support, when the immediate supervisor is the same race/ethnicity or the same gender as the employee, but not when they have similar car…

The Mediating Effects of Attachment to Social Structure and Psychosocial Resources on the Relationship Between Marital Quality and Psychological Distress
All marital relationships are not alike. The quality of the marital relationship may be an important determinant of health outcomes. The authors suggest that low marital quality is stressful for married people and that resources (i.e., self-esteem, mastery, and social support) may mediate the effects of relationship quality on distress. Using data from the 'Americans' Changing Lives (ACL): Wave 1' data set, they examine a series of path models to…

Learning about Sampling and Measurement by Doing Content Analysis of Personal Advertisements
THOSE WHO TEACH social research methods often note that their students approach the required course with dread, lack of interest, and questions about why they need to know stuff. This is especially true of sampling and measurement. Students describe these topics as too abstract, intimidating, or irrelevant. In this paper, we detail a learning by doing approach to teaching sampling and measurement in the undergraduate social research methods cours…
Women and power in sociology
This article explores the ways that the feminist organization Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) has become an arena of change in the discipline of sociology, academic institutions, and larger society. We begin with an examination of feminist models of power and change, followed by a brief history of SWS and an exploration of the use of power in sociology, academia, and beyond. We find that SWS has influenced both the organizational governan…

Breast cancer and the older woman
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in elderly women. Information on breast cancer explicitly relevant to elderly women was examined in 113 articles in the professional nursing literature and popular magazines. Content analysis on the nature or extent of information about breast cancer indicated that authors in the professional nursing literature and the popular media have inadequately addressed the degree of risk and the special n…
Reproductive Technologies and the U.S. Courts
This article analyzes U.S. court cases involving reproductive technologies in terms of their implications for reproductive choice, mothers' versus fathers' rights, definitions and evaluations of parenting, and the nuclear family structure. The analysis reveals that the courts have tended (a) not to recognize how social conditions shape women's reproductive choices, (b) to promote fathers' rights more than mothers' rights, (c) to ignore the social…
Ideology in the Reemergence of North American Midwifery
This article explains the reemergence of North American midwifery in terms of the role of ideology. An ideology is a set of beliefs by which a social group makes sense of its environment and which those groups manipulate in order to project images of themselves. I analyze the ways that two particular ideologies-science and feminism-have been used by midwives and their supporters in their struggles to legitimate midwifery in the health care system…
Social roles and subjective well-being
This paper examines the relative importance of exposure and response to social roles for explaining race differences in subjective well‐being. Data pooled from several years of General Social Survey interviews are used to demonstrate substantial race and gender differences in the effects of particular combinations of social roles on subjective well‐being. Further examination of these differences suggests that in addition to race differences in ac…
