Preacher Woman
This book opens with a paradox: why do organizations that are explicitly committed to gender equality continue to produce leadership outcomes that are clearly unequal? In other words, how is it that well-intentioned individuals can unintentionally perpetuate unequal patterns in organizations and communities? In Preacher Woman: A Critical Look at Sexism Without Sexists, Dr. Katie Lauve-Moon takes a deep dive into this question using religious cong…
Does Being Liberal Push Some Members Out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Conservative religionists’ political activism is pushing some Americans, particularly younger ones, out of religion altogether. Disgusted by what they see as an unholy merger between the Republican Party and the Religious Right, these people are voting with their feet—not only avoiding Republican affiliation but also wanting nothing to do with organized religion. Such is the argument, at least, of a growing number of scholars and researchers who …
Party and Nation
Deepening Convictions
Religion is a central element in global education, fundamentally affecting how students interact with diverse peoples and cultures and what they learn and experience in foreign environments. Nevertheless, the topic has received little attention for quite some time. This study investigates how students’ religious backgrounds, identities, and beliefs influence and are influenced by off-campus programs. Data collected from a number of X College stud…
She Preached the Word
She Preached the Word is a landmark study on women’s ordination in contemporary American religious congregations. In this groundbreaking work, Benjamin Knoll and Cammie Jo Bolin draw upon a novel collection of survey data and personal narrative interviews to answer several important questions, including: Who supports women’s ordination in their congregations? What are the most common reasons for and against women’s ordination? What effect do fema…
Learning by Doing
Undergraduate research (UGR) is a “high-impact practice” that has been consistently shown to effectively promote desirable student-learning outcomes (SLOs) including critical thinking, logic, written and oral communication, problem solving, and interpretation of evidence, especially among minority and disadvantaged students. Mentoring quality UGR experiences in regular upper-level political science courses, however, is a difficult and time-consum…
The Political Behavior of “Unhyphenated Americans”
Objectives This analysis seeks to assess the findings of previous research that “unhyphenated Americans” have distinct voting patterns. This analysis also provides an empirical test for various hypotheses about the determinants of unhyphenated self‐identification that have previously been advanced, but not definitely tested, by scholars. Methods Multivariate quantitative analysis of a nationally representative public opinion survey fielded in 201…
Physiological responses and political behavior
One of the most provocative recent findings in our understanding of political behavior is the link between physiological responses to environmental stimuli and political attitudes and behavior. This line of research holds much promise in explaining some of the foundational evolutionary origins of basic political orientations. Much of this recent research focused specifically on skin conductance response to threatening and disgusting stimuli, howe…
Immigration Enforcement and the Redistribution of Political Trust
Social construction theory argues that public policy creates powerful feedback effects and that groups burdened by policy feel alienated. We reevaluate this argument by examining how immigration enforcement policies affect Latino immigrants, native-born Latinos, and Anglos. Using data from a 2012 survey of Texas residents and government statistics on the Secure Communities program, we find that higher removal rates, especially among noncriminal p…

Implicit Nativist Attitudes, Social Desirability, and Immigration Policy Preferences
While previous research on immigration attitudes among the American public has focused on factors such as economic threat, social context, and racial prejudice, fewer studies have examined the psychological determinants of immigration policy preferences. This study analyzes the results of an implicit association test (IAT) procedure that measures automatic nativist preferences for a traditional American culture versus a Latino-American culture {i…
Assessing the effect of social desirability on nativism attitude responses
Showdown in the Sonoran Desert
This book examines the religious motivations of individuals and groups as they grapple with the contemporary immigration controversy along the US–Mexican border. Whereas existing scholarly research on the nexus of religion and immigration attitudes tends to be quantitative and a little “distant” in nature (meaning that the authors, including myself, often carry out our analyses from the comfort of our academic office chairs), Ananda Rose offers a…
When Plato Meets Popkin
Given that students often express a desire for course content to be more “relevant” and applicable to their lives, I describe one method for effectively addressing this concern through the organization of the course syllabus. The content of empirically driven courses can be framed within the context of philosophically driven normative questions. In other words, instructors can explicitly construct course narratives that frame the empirically base…
Compañero o Extranjero? Anti‐Immigrant Nativism among Latino Americans
Objective This study develops and tests a model of anti‐immigrant nativism among L atino A mericans in the United States. Methods Several variables unique to L atinos (e.g. ancestral country of origin, panethnicity, and American assimilation) are incorporated into a model of L atino‐ A merican anti‐immigrant nativism. Results In brief, L atino nativism is driven largely by A merican cultural assimilation and geographic proximity to other L atino …
Ethnic Context and Immigration Policy Preferences Among Latinos and Anglos
Objective. We examine how the immigration policy preferences of Anglos and Latinos vary according to ethnic context. Specifically, we hypothesize that immigration policy attitudes are a product of both Latino immigrant and Latino native born group size. In contrast to previous work, which found that Latinos and Anglos react to contextual forces in an identical manner, we argue that Latino group size produces opposite reactions for Anglos and Lati…
Framing Labels and Immigration Policy Attitudes in the Iowa Caucuses
Voter Mobilization and the Obama Victory
As with the other presidential elections from this decade, the 2008 election was followed by considerable speculation as to how new efforts to mobilize voters affected the eventual outcome. Although the conventional wisdom implies that “Democrats benefit from higher turnout,” previous research in political science demonstrates that such a conclusion applies to actual election results inconsistently. In this article, we outline the difficulties in…
Amigo de la Raza? Reexamining Determinants of Latino Support in the U.S. Congress
Objectives. This study updates and extends research on substantive Latino representation in the U.S. Congress. An improved method of measuring “Latino interests” is proposed. Methods. Using a scorecard from the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda as the dependent variable, standard OLS regression is employed to determine the variables that best predict how members of the 108th Congress vote on issues that are salient to the Latino community. Resu…
And Who Is My Neighbor?' Religion and Immigration Policy Attitudes
This study explores immigration reform as a possible new 'moral' issue upon which American religious elites and organizations take public positions. It is argued that religion is a key independent variable necessary for understanding the determinants of public attitudes regarding immigration policy. Theoretical expectations are formed from the ethnoreligious, religious restructuralism, and minority marginalization frameworks. Quantitative evidenc…
