Abstract The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender (LGBT) aging adult population is increasing rapidly in the United States. The literature reveals three shortcomings regarding research into the experiences of LGBT aging adults: (1) their needs have been largely overlooked, (2) there are few large-scale quantitative studies of this population, and (3) LGBT older adults are often treated as a monolith despite the potential for significant variations between subgroups under the umbrella. The current study addresses these issues by utilizing data from a nationwide AARP 2018 survey to study a central concern of LGBT aging adults: housing. Specifically, drawing upon the conceptual framework of minority stress, we examine how the LGBT identity of older people affects how concerned they are about having to hide their identity in order to find suitable housing as they age. Findings reveal (1) significant variations in the degree of worry among segments of the aging LGBT population, and (2) ameliorating factors such as social support may decrease the degree to which they worry about hiding their identity to access housing. These results may have implications for policies and practices aimed at increasing the community resilience available to support LGBT adults as they age.

Abstract Immigration control has emerged as a fiery partisan issue in American politics as evidenced by the controversies over policies of the Trump administration over the last four years. While legislative reform remains deadlocked at the federal level, a number of states have passed laws with reference to immigrants—documented or otherwise—within their boundaries. This study draws upon group threat theory to identify the factors affecting restrictive immigration laws at the state-level. Using cross-sectional time-series state-level data from 2005-2017, this study expands upon existing research in several important ways, including by investigating the effect of the non-Hispanic white working class. Results indicate that the passage of restrictive immigration legislation over the period of study was driven by increases in state-level inequality and increases in the size of the low-skilled white population. Implications for group threat theory are discussed.

Abstract Current research suggests that clients devalue semi-skilled care workers’ substantive knowledge and compel these workers to provide emotional intimacy. I refer to this characterization of care workers’ expertise and labor as from the heart knowledge and care. In this study, I evaluate if clients expect highly-skilled care workers with professional degrees to provide from the heart knowledge and care, too. I conducted qualitative interviews to examine clients’ expectations for their relationships with care professionals. While other studies suggest that clients devalue emotional intimacy cultivated by workers who they perceive as having few work skills, the clients in my study valued—and often rewarded—emotional intimacy cultivated by workers who they perceived as highly-skilled. I explore the limits of Zelizer’s conceptualization of the “connected lives” approach by highlighting the link between status and worker-client relationships.

Abstract This study sought to classify and assign the 93 counties in Nebraska into distinctive spatial-temporal clusters based on their trends in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths. A secondary goal of this study was to assess the potential role of preexisting sociodemographic, environmental, and health conditions in determining the county’s resilience and susceptibility to 2019-nCov. Spatial-temporal cluster analysis yielded three distinct confirmed cases and death clusters. Results from spatial-temporal cluster and regression analyses suggested that COVID-19 and HIV and obesity prevention should be integrated. Emergency response planning and mitigation should focus on counties characterized by noticeable increases in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths and/or counties with relatively high population and ethnic minorities.

Abstract COVID-19 has had unprecedented effects on populations around the world. Given the political context of the pandemic and the nation’s response to it, this study sought to assess the extent of Americans’ personal fear about the virus as well as their fear for others (altruistic fear), identify potential predictors of these fears, and examine the mental health impact of heightened COVID-19 fears. Overall, a majority of respondents worried about various aspects of the virus, from being exposed to dying, and reported often worrying about others, including family, the elderly, and healthcare professionals. Building on the fear of crime literature, we find that certain individuals, including those who believe they are at a high risk of dying from the virus, non-Whites, and those who closely follow news coverage of the pandemic, are likely to experience elevated fear and, possibly, its consequences.

Abstract The purpose of the article is to analyze the strategies deployed by female sex workers in Poland when navigating the areas of work and life. The article draws on unstructured interviews, analyzed using the procedures of grounded theory methodology. I approach the provision of sexual services (as the participants of the study do) as stigma-burdened, non-regulated work that may offer an opportunity to establish a work–life balance. In practice, this enterprise is jeopardized by a number of factors within the legal, social, and organizational frames of sex work. I discern several work-life management strategies depending on what realm, work or life, is prioritized by sex workers as well as whether they choose to segment or integrate these realms. Much as establishing strong boundaries between the domains of work and life is the predominant strategy, some sex workers strive to make these boundaries permeable or remove them altogether. The strategies practiced are also informed by the sex workers’ life and occupational conditions as well as the experience or anticipation of social stigma.

Abstract This study uses data from a large urban birth cohort in the U.S. (N = 3,011) to examine how, and to what extent, gender, socioeconomic statuses (SES), and healthy behaviors (i.e., sleep quality, healthy eating, and physical activities) shape teenagers’ subjective health. Regression analyses are used to first analyze the extent to which gender and SES predict teenagers’ subjective health, then to assess the extent to which gender and SES predict teenagers’ healthy behaviors, and finally to consider the extent to which healthy behaviors mediate relationships between subjective health and both gender and SES. The results reveal that the associations between subjective health and both gender and SES are partially the result of indirect associations through healthy behaviors. In addition, the frequencies to which adolescents engage in vigorous physical activity, eat fruits and vegetables, and have problems sleeping appear to be particularly important to teenagers’ subjective health. This research should help encourage discussion about health promoting strategies, with particular relevance for the subjective health of young girls and those with lower SES.

Abstract Previous studies reveal that Black women are the least likely to be selected or matched on dating/hookup apps, followed closely behind by Black men. Our study seeks to better understand how, when asked to confront their preferences, white heterosexual college-aged students justify their racial tastes on the popular dating app, Tinder. Drawing on data from 137 peer-to-peer interviews with students at two large universities in the southeastern United States, our findings reveal that heterosexual white interviewees justified their reasons for swiping left (i.e. rejecting) on Black potential matches in multiple ways. Where a small handful responded using overtly racist language, the overwhelming majority embedded their responses in colorblind racist rhetoric that drew upon language couched in cultural incompatibility, relied on stereotypes and generalizations that often conflated race with social class, and attributed their racial preferences to family values and regional demographic restrictions. Situating our findings within the “white racial frame” and sociological scholarship on new racism, we argue that white respondents’ evasion of honest racial language in their responses perpetuates ideologies of colorblind racism. Additionally, our findings contribute to how sexual and colorblind racism is reinvented and perpetuated in online spaces through the dissemination of neoliberal discourses around personal preference that both disguise and normalize racism in internet dating. We discuss the implications of our findings for sociological research on race, gender, and intimate marketplaces.

Abstract To what extent do survey nonresponse and coverage problems bias estimates of physical activity? Research has focused on social desirability as a cause of observed bias but there are relatively few studies of nonresponse and coverage. I analyze data from a survey designed to allow estimation of nonresponse bias using a two-phase sampling design that resamples nonrespondents from an initial wave of telephone and IVR (interactive voice response) interviewing for follow-up face-to-face interviews. Both initial and nonresponse interview waves included measures of physical activity frequency and duration. Estimates are compared between first-round respondents and those from follow-up interviews of nonrespondents, accounting for mode and other design elements. Telephone, but not IVR, interviews were found to include bias from two sources. Findings suggest that coverage is a cause of bias in the measure of frequency of physical activity but nonresponse may bias the measure of physical activity duration.

Abstract While several studies have explored manhood acts and compensatory manhood acts in cisgender men, few have examined them in the trans community. This research fills gaps in the literature by examining an understudied population in the Southeastern United States, an area of the country where queer lives are often ignored. Additionally, it allows for the continued separation of masculinities from only those bodies assigned male at birth. Using 51 interviews with trans men, we examine the experiences of trans men in the South and the manhood acts they employ to enhance their claims to masculinities and to compensate for their presumed lack of biological maleness. By becoming a member of a brotherhood and participating in sexism, some of the participants in this study are able to bolster their claims to manhood.
