ObjectiveCan a fictional show affect its audience's perspectives on the issue of drug use and addiction in society? This article aims to answer that question.MethodsWe use a survey with an embedded experiment to assess the relationship between the popular HBO show Euphoria and attitudes of Gen Z on the issue of drugs, including: feelings toward drug users and those caught up in drug addiction; beliefs regarding the causes of drug addiction; and, attitudes toward harm reduction, treatment, and punitive drug policies. Subjects were recruited from Amazon's Mechanical Turk.ResultsWe found that reevoking the show by showing photos of two of the main characters led to drug attitudes consistent with the messages about drugs found in Euphoria. We also found that self‐reported exposure to the show was associated with perspectives on drugs consistent with the content of the show for respondents who scored higher on individual transportability—results that conform closely to theoretical expectations. The fact that these results were found in a study 8 months after the final episode of Euphoria was aired hints at the durability of the show's effects.ConclusionsThe results add to the growing body of research on the political effects of entertainment media and provide additional validation of new and important measures of the propensity of individuals to be transported by narratives and eudaimonic motivation in entertainment media choice.
目的 一个虚构的节目能否影响观众对社会中吸毒和成瘾问题的看法?本文旨在回答这个问题。方法我们通过一项带有嵌入式实验的调查来评估 HBO 的热门节目《Euphoria》与 Z 世代对毒品问题的态度之间的关系,包括:对吸毒者和吸毒成瘾者的看法;对吸毒成瘾原因的看法;以及对减低伤害、治疗和惩罚性毒品政策的态度。受试者是从亚马逊的 Mechanical Turk 中招募的。结果我们发现,通过展示两个主要角色的照片来重新唤起人们对该节目的关注,会导致人们对毒品的态度与《极乐世界》中关于毒品的信息一致。我们还发现,对于在个人运输能力方面得分较高的受访者来说,自我报告的节目接触与对毒品的看法与节目内容一致--这些结果非常符合理论预期。这些结果是在《极乐世界》最后一集播出 8 个月后的一项研究中发现的,这一事实暗示了该节目影响的持久性。结论这些研究结果丰富了有关娱乐媒体政治影响的研究内容,并进一步验证了在娱乐媒体选择中个人受叙事影响的倾向和优越感动机的新的重要衡量标准。

Do experiences with civil war violence affect an individual's level of social trust? The literature on this topic suggests that being a victim of violence or being involved in violence has a profound effect on an individual's political behavior in the new host country. However, what has not been explored is how experiences with civil war and violence impact levels of social trust among immigrants. Building on prior research on premigratory experience and literature on experience with violence, we intend to determine if the premigratory experiences with violence in an immigrant's country of origin affect whether social trust is increased or decreased in an immigrant's country of residence. We investigate this question using the National Latino and Asian American Study. We find that immigrants who had experienced civil war as unarmed civilians and were persecuted due to their political beliefs were less likely to acculturate to the host country. Participation in combat also tended to reduce acculturation but did not affect social trust.
内战暴力经历是否会影响个人的社会信任度?有关这一主题的文献表明,成为暴力受害者或卷入暴力事件会对个人在新东道国的政治行为产生深远影响。然而,内战和暴力经历如何影响移民的社会信任水平,这一点尚未得到探讨。基于先前关于移民前经历的研究和关于暴力经历的文献,我们打算确定移民在原籍国的移民前暴力经历是否会影响移民在居住国的社会信任的增加或减少。我们利用 "全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究"(National Latino and Asian American Study)对这一问题进行了调查。我们发现,作为手无寸铁的平民经历过内战并因其政治信仰而受到迫害的移民不太可能融入东道国。参加战斗也会降低文化适应度,但不会影响社会信任。

ObjectiveGuided by the Reasoned Action Approach, we used a salient belief elicitation (SBE) to elicit participant‐generated beliefs regarding abortion. SBE is a formative research technique used to elicit people's control (i.e., perceived facilitators and barriers associated with a behavior), behavioral (i.e., perceived positive and negative consequences of doing a behavior), and normative (i.e., influence of important people/peers regarding a behavior) beliefs regarding a particular behavior (i.e., abortion).MethodsWe administered our SBE to English‐ and Spanish‐speaking U.S. adults (N = 608) from NORC's AmeriSpeak® panel. We used inductive content and thematic analyses to assess open‐ended questions.ResultsWe found that participants’ control and behavioral beliefs referenced circumstances used to assess abortion attitudes in polling item (e.g., rape) and reasons people seek abortion (e.g., financial reasons) as well as potential negative emotions (e.g., shame) and positive consequences (e.g., autonomy) associated with abortion. Participants indicated pregnant people's partners and people seeking abortion as salient referents.ConclusionParticipants mentioned several contexts reflected in common measures used to assess abortion attitudes by national polls and surveys. However, we also found other relevant circumstances not reflected in common measures and a range of salient referents. We recommend abortion attitudes measures account for these participant‐driven salient beliefs.

While they were once viewed as largely local or candidate-centered contests, recent American elections have come to be dominated by national forces such as presidential politics and partisanship. Prior research on voter behavior in this new era of nationalized politics, however, has largely focused on more high-profile contests and has not examined voter decision making across multiple levels of government.

Previous research has shown a relationship between social and economic equality and trust, but the relationship between gender equality and trust has received relatively little attention. This study addresses that lacuna and analyzes the relationship between gender equality and political trust as well as social trust.
