AbstractTo understand the intergenerational transmission of pro-environmental behaviors within a family, we employ a nationally representative survey of young adults and their parents living within the United States. We analyze intergenerational transmission for three generations with information on children, parent, and grandparent behavior. Our findings suggest that strong relationships exist across three generations. Mediation analysis shows that parents significantly mediate the strong association between children and grandparents for most behaviors. These results imply that pro-environmental behaviors inculcated between generational dyads are robust and suggest educational efforts directed at quotidian household behaviors.

摘要为了了解亲环境行为在家庭中的代际传递，我们对生活在美国的年轻人及其父母进行了一项具有全国代表性的调查。我们用孩子、父母和祖父母行为的信息来分析三代人的代际传递。我们的研究结果表明，三代人之间存在着密切的关系。中介分析表明，父母在大多数行为中显著中介了子女与祖父母之间的强关联。这些结果表明，在两代人之间灌输的亲环境行为是强有力的，并表明教育努力针对日常家庭行为。本工作得到了美国-以色列两国科学基金会的支持[批准号2014080]。我们感谢审稿人和编辑提供的广泛和建设性的意见。披露声明我们确认没有相关的财务或非财务竞争利益需要报告。本研究由美国-以色列两国科学基金会[BSF Grant 2014080]资助。作者简介tiana Marrese是宾夕法尼亚大学的一名博士生。她的研究围绕着理解人们如何以及为什么从事亲社会行为展开。她对揭露自愿行为和非营利性工资结构的潜在模式很感兴趣。Itay Greenspan是耶路撒冷希伯来大学Paul Baerwald社会工作和社会福利学院的高级讲师。他的研究主要集中在公民社会、公民参与、比较视角下的个人和家庭环境行为以及有组织的环保主义之间的关系。他目前的研究考察了非政府组织在适应气候变化本地化中的作用。塔利·卡茨-杰罗是海法大学的社会学教授。她的研究领域包括环境态度和行为、家庭可持续发展实践、文化消费和比较研究。Femida Handy是宾夕法尼亚大学社会政策与实践学院非营利研究教授。作为一名训练有素的经济学家，她的工作涵盖了非营利部门的经济学、志愿服务、慈善事业、非营利管理、环境问题和社会企业家精神。

AbstractSymbolic annihilation refers to media representations that exclude, trivialize, or demonize a group. Initially used to describe the scarcity and stereotypical portrayals of women in mass media, this term has expanded to provide insight into media representations of other groups less valued within a culture based on age, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Research on film and television has found evidence of symbolic annihilation of women, particularly older women and people of color. The purpose of this study is to add to this scholarship on media representations. A content analysis of the top 100 domestic grossing films of 2016 revealed that the symbolic annihilation of women and people of color continues to be evident in contemporary U.S. popular media.

摘要符号湮灭是指媒体排斥、轻视或妖魔化一个群体的表现。这个词最初用来描述大众媒体中对女性的稀缺和刻板印象，现在已经扩展到对其他在基于年龄、种族、民族和性别的文化中不那么受重视的群体的媒体表现的洞察。对电影和电视的研究发现了女性被象征性地消灭的证据，尤其是老年女性和有色人种。本研究的目的是为媒体表征的学术研究增添新的内容。对2016年美国票房前100名电影的内容分析显示，在当代美国大众媒体中，对女性和有色人种的象征性湮灭仍然很明显。作者感谢2017年1月媒体社会研究临时课程的学生编码，以及Comfort Sampong和Ivanna Rodriquez的数据清理。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据和材料的可用性作者将根据要求分享。本研究得到了加尔文大学德尔捐赠基金的资助。作者简介:selisha Marr是加尔文大学社会学副教授。1997年，她在卡尔文大学获得学士学位，2006年在密歇根州立大学获得博士学位。虽然她最近的研究和出版物主要集中在跨种族收养上，但Marr的教学和研究兴趣更广泛地扩展到社会中种族、阶级、性别和性行为的交叉点。Marr试图增加对媒体和流行文化如何影响公众舆论和塑造行为和实践的社会学理解。Laura B.

AbstractThis study examines how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) can be understood as a “lived religion” that seeks to legitimize and moralize certain experiences and beliefs through narratives that are affirmed by the substance abuse recovery community. Through a qualitative analysis of 20 in-depth interviews with both actively recovering and non-actively recovering participants of AA, we identify three distinct moral narratives described by participants related to the construction of spiritual beliefs, individual health, and social belonging that highlight how the structure of AA reifies stories of addiction recovery as morally charged. We contribute to sociology of religion and addiction studies by examining how social and spiritual systems (i.e. systems embodying our complex and multi-faceted social connections to other people and our beliefs and attitudes about powers greater than oneself) orient alcohol addiction recovery within the context of AA support groups. For sociological inquiry more broadly, we show how moral narratives have the power to shift individual understanding of social support, power and self-control, and belonging.

摘要本研究探讨了匿名戒酒会(AA)如何被理解为一种“活的宗教”，它试图通过药物滥用康复社区所肯定的叙述来使某些经历和信仰合法化和道德化。通过对20名积极康复和非积极康复的AA参与者的深度访谈进行定性分析，我们确定了参与者描述的三种不同的道德叙事，这些叙事与精神信仰、个人健康和社会归属感的构建有关，突出了AA的结构如何将成瘾康复的故事具体化为道德规范。我们通过研究社会和精神系统(即体现我们与其他人复杂和多方面的社会联系以及我们对比自己更强大的力量的信仰和态度的系统)如何在AA支持团体的背景下引导酒精成瘾康复，从而为宗教和成瘾研究的社会学做出贡献。对于更广泛的社会学探究，我们展示了道德叙事如何有能力改变个人对社会支持、权力和自我控制以及归属感的理解。作者没有相关的财务或非经济利益需要披露。关于贡献者的说明。Maia C.

AbstractThe bulk of prior research focuses on economic hard times as a source of material insecurity and relative deprivation in fueling negative attitudes toward immigrants and immigration. The present study shifts the focus to a novel concept: relative gratification. During the height of Trump administration, the American economy enjoyed unprecedented growth and stability. Yet, as our study shows, anti-immigrant sentiment became more pronounced among US citizens with greater perceived material security, i.e., those who felt more relatively “gratified.” What is the logic behind this seemingly paradoxical outcome? By drawing on insights from the social psychology literature, we propose and demonstrate that favorable macroeconomic conditions instilled in some people a sense of privileged entitlement and heightened national pride, both of which contributed to hostilities toward the foreign born. Our moderation analysis also indicates that controlling for a proxy for Trump approval, this relationship was stronger for Republican-leaning individuals as well as those who self-identify as being more politically conservative.

Abstract Although there is a robust body of literature addressing fear of crime, leading scholars point to the need to further examine the link between criminal victimization and fear. In the current study, we aimed to examine how certain actions after victimization, primarily use of Victim Services Programs (VSPs), impact components of individuals' general, situational fear. Updating early work by Davis, using 2016–2019 National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), we found that victims who utilized VSPs demonstrate increased odds of components of fear than those who did not use VSPs. Other relevant findings are also discussed.

AbstractThe Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement was created by three women in 2013 after George Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of teenager Trayvon Martin. Since inception, BLM has gained national attention through its organization of and participation in numerous social movement activities, many of which have been driven by Black women. However, previous research and the persistent existence of racism and sexism indicate that Black women may be marginalized and made invisible within mainstream news media that discusses social movement activities. Mass media continues to be a powerful agent of socialization within society; therefore, it is critical to examine how various forms of media portrays different groups. The current paper examines how newspaper media portrays Black women engaged in Black Lives Matter movement activities. We utilize content analysis to analyze 645 newspaper articles that discuss BLM. We use intersectional inequality along with Patricia Hill Collins' controlling images as guiding theoretical frameworks to analyze our data and interpret the findings. Overall, findings show that Black women are largely invisible within newspaper articles discussing Black Lives Matter. This occurs in a variety of ways, such as focusing on protester response to police violence against Black men and using gender-neutral language when discussing individuals engaged in movement activities. Moreover, findings indicate that newspaper media utilize all of Collins' controlling images in their depiction of Black women in BLM; however, the utilization of controlling images in not equal. We discuss these findings in detail in addition to providing directions for future scholarly research.Keywords: genderracesocial movementsmediainequalityBlack Lives Matter Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMichelle L.

【摘要】2013年，乔治·齐默尔曼因谋杀少年特雷沃恩·马丁被判无罪后，三名女性发起了“黑人的命也是命”运动。自成立以来，BLM通过组织和参与许多社会运动活动获得了全国的关注，其中许多活动都是由黑人妇女推动的。然而，以往的研究以及种族主义和性别歧视的持续存在表明，黑人女性在讨论社会运动活动的主流新闻媒体中可能会被边缘化和隐形。大众传播媒介继续是社会内部社会化的有力媒介;因此，研究各种形式的媒体如何描绘不同的群体是至关重要的。本文考察了报纸媒体如何描绘参与“黑人的命也是命”运动活动的黑人妇女。我们利用内容分析分析了645篇讨论BLM的报纸文章。我们使用交叉不平等以及Patricia Hill Collins的控制图像作为指导理论框架来分析我们的数据并解释研究结果。总的来说，调查结果表明，黑人女性在报纸上讨论“黑人的命也重要”的文章中基本上是看不见的。这种情况以多种方式出现，例如关注抗议者对警察对黑人施暴的反应，以及在讨论参与运动活动的个人时使用中性语言。此外，研究结果表明，报纸媒体在描述BLM中的黑人女性时使用了柯林斯的所有控制图像;然而，控制图像的利用率是不相等的。我们详细讨论了这些发现，并为未来的学术研究提供了方向。关键词:性别、种族、社会运动、媒体平等、黑人的命也是命披露声明作者未发现潜在的利益冲突。作者简介:michelle L.

Since inception, BLM has gained national attention through its organization of and participation in numerous social movement activities, many of which have been driven by Black women. However, previous research and the persistent existence of racism and sexism indicate that Black women may be marginalized and made invisible within mainstream news media that discusses social movement activities. Mass media continues to be a powerful agent of socialization within society; therefore, it is critical to examine how various forms of media portrays different groups. The current paper examines how newspaper media portrays Black women engaged in Black Lives Matter movement activities. We utilize content analysis to analyze 645 newspaper articles that discuss BLM. We use intersectional inequality along with Patricia Hill Collins' controlling images as guiding theoretical frameworks to analyze our data and interpret the findings. Overall, findings show that Black women are largely invisible within newspaper articles discussing Black Lives Matter. This occurs in a variety of ways, such as focusing on protester response to police violence against Black men and using gender-neutral language when discussing individuals engaged in movement activities. Moreover, findings indicate that newspaper media utilize all of Collins' controlling images in their depiction of Black women in BLM; however, the utilization of controlling images in not equal. We discuss these findings in detail in addition to providing directions for future scholarly research.Keywords: genderracesocial movementsmediainequalityBlack Lives Matter Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMichelle L.

Abstract Durkheim’s Le Suicide outlined two distinct types of suicide that depend on an individual’s level of social regulation. While one of these, anomie/anomic suicide has been greatly explored by both Durkheim and subsequent literature, the concept of fatalistic suicide has been neglected due to Durkheim’s own proclamation that it had little contemporary importance. In this article, I report narratives related to suicide gathered from interviewing South Koreans aged 20–30 that mirror elements of fatalistic suicide, such as violently blocked passions and oppressive discipline. South Koreans in this age group often discussed that they have constantly felt immense pressure from society to achieve particular life goals by certain ages, and not achieving these expectations essentially means that one’s life is over. Furthermore, I contend that achieving these lofty expectations, such as going to what is considered a prestigious university or getting a well-respected first job is hardly possible for the masses, and instead sets up many students and postgraduates for inescapable failure. The reaction to this failure of being able to meet goals and expectations can be understood in terms of Durkheim’s anomie, given that people’s goals can no longer be regulated by society once they have failed. This article posits that individuals move between extremes of Durkheim’s social regulation.

Abstract Surveys of Catholic priests in the United States dating back to the 1980s have shown that newer priests—and the priesthood in the aggregate—are becoming more conservative on moral, ecclesial, political, and theological issues. The present study examined whether this long-observed conservative shift has continued up to the present day using data from two surveys of Catholic priests: a 2002 Los Angeles Times survey of priests and the 2020–2021 Survey of American Catholic Priests, which largely replicated the former. Comparisons of means across surveys and analyses based on decade of ordination both revealed that Catholic priests in the United States are increasingly conservative on issues of moral belief, attitudes concerning who should and should not qualify for ordination, as well as politics and theology. Regression models demonstrated that having been ordained more recently was consistently associated with holding more conservative beliefs, net of other factors. More religiously observant priests, captured by frequency of praying the Divine Office, were more likely to be conservative on every question asked. The major exception to the conservative shift are priests self-reporting as entirely homosexual, who tend to be more liberal than heterosexual priests on a range of topics.

Abstract In an American economy marked by intense devotion to work, worker well-being is diminished by perceived work-nonwork conflict, especially within higher-status occupations. Yet, work and labor perceptions are constructed within an intergenerational attainment process. This raises the important issue of whether parental origins are determinative of perceived work stress during adulthood. We combine multiple years of national data (2010, 2014, and 2018 General Social Survey) and utilize life-course models of health to begin to understand the differential roles of personal and parental socioeconomic statuses for perceived work conflict and stress in adulthood. We find that educational attainment is linked to perceived work-family and family-work conflict, whereas occupational attainment is linked to work-family conflict as well as perceived job stress and satisfaction. These patterns do not change significantly upon controlling parental socioeconomic status. Parental education and socioeconomic standing associate with adult work stress and perceived family-work interference, but these associations mostly become insignificant once adult attainment is considered. In total, our findings are more consistent with pathway models of life-course stress and well-being, implicating adulthood circumstances, than with critical-period models that emphasize the enduring importance of childhood characteristics.
