Measuring Problem Online Video Gaming and Its Association With Problem Gambling and Suspected Motivational, Mental Health, and Behavioral Risk Factors in a Sample of University Students
Recently, the issue of problem online video game playing and its potential connection with problem gambling has drawn increased attention. Although conceptually similar to many behavioral addictions, there is still no clear consensus on how to best measure and assess problem video game playing. This study validates one proposed measure of problem video gaming—the Problem Video Game Playing Test (PVGT)—in a Canadian undergraduate university studen…
An Exploration of Depression Symptom Trajectories, and Their Predictors, in a Canadian Sample of Emerging Adults
Using a four-wave longitudinal sample of young Canadian adults (18–24), this study identified five latent trajectory classes: low stable, high stable, high decreasing, moderate decreasing, and low increasing. The identification of a class characterized by an increasing trajectory of depression symptoms across the transition to adulthood is a novel finding. Of the risk and protective factors assessed, only initial student status and perceived fami…
An exploratory study of multiple distinct gambling trajectories in emerging adults
This study uses data from a four-wave longitudinal survey of emerging adults (18–20 years of age in Wave 1) to examine whether there are multiple distinct trajectories of problem gambling risk severity and whether membership in these trajectory classes can be predicted by certain risk and protective factors. Four trajectory classes of gambling risk severity were identified – nonproblem-diminishing (73.9%), low-risk-stable (16.8%), marginal/nongam…
Cultural capital or habitus? Bourdieu and beyond in the explanation of enduring educational inequality
Evidence for Bourdieu’s social reproduction theory and its contributions to understanding educational inequality has been relatively mixed. Critics discount the usefulness of core concepts such as cultural capital and habitus and most studies invoking these concepts have focused only on one or the other, often conflating the two, to the detriment of both. We disentangle cultural capital and habitus, and argue that taken together – in conjunction …
‘Give Me a Reason to Live!’ Examining Reasons for Living Across Levels of Suicidality
Gendered Habitus and Gender Differences in Academic Achievement
Bourdieu's theory of cultural and social reproduction posits that students' habitus-learned behavioural and perceptual dispositions rooted in family upbringing-is a formative influence on how they react to their educational environments, affecting academic practices and academic achievement. Although originally conceived as a "class" variant construct, it has been argued subsequently that habitus is also conditioned by gender socialization, and s…
Educational Systems and Rising Inequality
Educational systems considerably influence educational opportunities and the resulting social inequalities. Contrasting institutional regulations of both structures and contents, the authors present a typology of educational system types in Germany to analyze their effects on social inequality in eastern Germany after unification. After 1990, the comprehensive secondary school was replaced by three types of differentiated secondary schooling. In …
Disparities in Academic Achievement
School Resources and the Academic Achievement of Canadian Students
This study estimates the impact of schools’ physical resources and teachers’ academic press on students’ academic achievement in mathematics and reading when a number of important student variables are controlled. Academic press is defined as teachers' emphasis on academic excellence and upholding academic standards (McDill, Natriello, &; Pallas, 1986). It is often argued that both school and teacher resources affect the educational achievement o…
Welfare regimes and educational inequality
Research on welfare state regimes and research on educational policy share a common concern for the reduction of social inequality. On one hand, welfare state research is typically designed within a comparative approach where scholars investigate similarities and differences in social institutions across selected countries. On the other hand, the basic model of educational policy research is usually country specific and seldom identifies why and …

Social cohesion in Canada
Social cohesion in Canada Barry Ferguson (bio), Simon Langlois (bio), and Lance W. Roberts (bio) Canada is a diverse society of almost 34 million people. Its population is about half the size of Great Britain and France, the two nations whose colonization projects strongly shaped Canada’s development. For most of the country’s history, the original or Aboriginal peoples have been marginalized despite the many ways in which they contributed to the…
Recent Social Trends in Canada 1960-2000
An encyclopaedic reference work on Canadian society that charts changes to the social landscape
Recent Social Trends in Canada, 1960-2000
The introduction summarizes and locates the major waves of change. The authors then document each trend in relation to eighteen thematic groups that include age, community, women, labour, management, stratification, social relations, the state, mobilizing institutions, social forces, ideologies, households, lifestyle, leisure, education, integration, and attitudes and values
Can the North American Model of Ethnicity Be Applied to Europe ? The German Example
In the last decade of the 20th century, the self-perception of many continental European nations has shifted dramatically. Terms like diversity, multiculturalism and, last but not least, ethnicity are increasingly used to describe group structures and inequalities in these countries. This is especially surprising in the case of Germany. In sociological folklore, Germany epitomizes a nation which sees itself as an ethnically homogeneous people (am…
The Legitimacy of Inequality on Both Sides of The Atlantic. A comparative Analysis of Attitudes in Canada and Germany
All societies contain organized inequalities, although to a different degree. The amount of equality possible and beneficial for societal wellbeing and the magnitude of inequality tolerable, acceptable and required as a prerequisite for competition and growth are questions continuing at the centre of sociological as well as political debates. Inequality concems the differential allocation of resources and rewards between social locations. Since r…
Social Capital and Educational Attainment
This research examines the effects of social capital on the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes among a sample of undergraduate university students. A theoretical model containing 14 variables including university and social background, social capital, time management, and educational attainment is presented. The data obtained from questionnaires completed by 269 undergraduate students in the Faculty of Education at a western Canadian…

Exploring the Ideology of Canadian Multiculturalism
Ideologies are ill-founded beliefs which are often uncritically held by those whose interests are furthered by such justifications. For reasonable people, ideologies are stifling because they discourage what is essential for a balanced view the judicious consideration of alternative ideas and evidence. In this context, Howard Brotz's (1980) refreshing article on the muddled state of Canadian multiculturalism policy is a welcome contrast to the us…

A comparative analysis of physician estimates and levels of medical knowledge among patients
This study compares the level of medical knowledge among patients with physician estimates of patient comprehension of medical information. Further, the paper evaluates the accumulated body of knowledge pertaining to patient-physician communication and extends the available research evidence without ascribing culpability to either the patient for a failure to comprehend or to the physician for a failure to explain.A number of propositions derived…

Structural Tightness and Social Conformity
A discrepancy between our findings and those of J. W. Berry and associates concerning the relative independence/ compliance of subjects from tight and loose societies is noted. It is suggested that methodologically this discrepancy derives from a difference in the two Asch-type testing procedures employed. More importantly, however, the data suggest the need for a conceptual refinement of the tight/loose dimension such that the source of external…
