Social contexts take such diverse forms as families, dwelling places, neighborhoods, classrooms, schools, workplaces, voluntary organizations, and sociocultural events or milieus. Understanding social contexts is essential for the study of individual behaviors, social networks, and the relationships between the two. Contexts shape individual behaviors by providing an avenue for non-dyadic conformity and socialization processes. The co-participation within a context affects personal relationships by acting as a focus for tie formation. Where participation in particular contexts confers status, this effect may also lead to differences in popularity within interpersonal networks. Social contexts may further play a moderating role in within-network influence and selection processes, providing circumstances that either amplify or suppress these effects. In this paper we investigate the joint role of co-participation via social contexts and dyadic interaction in shaping and being shaped by individual behaviors with the context of a U.S. high school. Implications for future study of social contexts are suggested.</p>","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"55 1","pages":"191-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10956702/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44294609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many evaluators rely on these simple figures as a proxy for plagiarism and thus avoid the burdensome task of inspecting the longer Similarity Reports that show the matching in detail. Yet similarity scores, though alluringly straightforward, are never enough to judge the presence (or absence) of plagiarism. Ideally, evaluators should always examine the Similarity Reports. Given the persistent use of simplistic similarity score thresholds at some academic journals and educational institutions, however, and the time that can be saved by relying on the scores, a method is arguably needed that encourages examination of the Similarity Reports but still also allows evaluators to choose to rely on the similarity scores in some instances. This article proposes a four-band method to accomplish this. Used together, the bands oblige evaluators to acknowledge the risk they take in relying on the similarity scores yet still allow them to ultimately determine whether they wish to accept that risk. The bands – for most rigor, high rigor, moderate rigor and less rigor – should be tailored to an evaluator’s particular needs.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"253 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44796113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even when they are home, employees are often tethered to their jobs by technology and expected to be available. Higher demands on an employee’s time can lead to burnout and greater job-related stress, impacting work-family conflict. Drawing on in-depth interviews, we analyze how women in dual-income heterosexual partnerships make sense of and manage their family relationships in light of the competition between work-imposed demands and family time. Our study shows how women attempt to control their time by setting boundaries, scheduling, and allowing work and family time to blur as a way to address hectic work and family lives; however, this is often not successful, leading to paradoxical outcomes, particularly for those with children. Nevertheless, our participants make their limited time meaningful as a source of connection within their relational lives by ritualizing meals, accomplishing tasks, and sharing space. This study extends our theorizing on how work and family demands shape perceptions and meanings of the structure of time.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"310 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46050463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while college-aged men are at higher risk for suicide, it is women who exhibit higher incidences of nonfatal suicidal behavior. Nonfatal suicidal behavior (NFSB) includes acts such as suicidal ideation, self-injury, and suicide attempt. Expanding the research on the gender gap in suicidal behaviors by drawing on a contemporary gender socialization framework, this study examines the role of various gender dimensions and NFSB. Utilizing data from a survey of college students, we find that the gender dimensions, Nurture/Warmth and Affect, operate as risk and protective factors in the use of NFSB for men and women.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"273 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42632522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessments of risk associated with nuclear energy are complex, reflecting political and economic interests in the technology. Countries like France that rely heavily on nuclear power make efforts to craft messages about nuclear risk to both normalize and prevent resistance to the technology. Normative, oppositional, and monitoring stakeholders compete to define the meaning of nuclear energy in France. As actors discuss the future of the industry, they integrate the concept of risk into daily narratives. Employing data from 27 semi-structured interviews with 28 key stakeholders, our study considers France’s unique relationship with nuclear energy to address risk and tactical choice in a context that normalizes a contested technology. Our analysis highlights the dominant position of normative stakeholders in influencing nuclear risk perceptions and weakening oppositional tactical choices.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"331 - 348"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48120043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypotheses derived from this framework are tested in regression analyses of 1930 census data on Black Metropolis communities created in major cities by blacks’ early twentieth-century urbanization. The findings show that the slope of the relationship between black population size and Black Metropolis social-world intensity varies by the type of social world under investigation. Consistent with subcultural theory, urbanism markedly intensifies blacks’ cultural-expression social worlds and modestly intensifies blacks’ political-action social worlds. Consistent with determinist theory, urbanism degrades blacks’ religious-participation social worlds, and consistent with compositional theory, urbanism is unrelated to blacks’ goods-distribution-and-consumption social worlds. These results imply that researchers should explore nonlinear relationships of urban population size and social-world intensity that are predicted by the integrated framework of urbanism theories.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"293 - 309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49339154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines how much debt explains the relationship with poor mental health. We used the 2010 Alabama Omnibus Survey with data on 507 respondents. We found that all three potential reasons for debt were at first associated with more days of poor mental health. Moreover, lower debt and debt stress explained some of the relationship with poor mental health. We also find the conspicuous consumption and mental health association is explained by the debt variables. We conclude with how comparison to others is negatively associated with mental health for individuals and families, especially in the context of a post Great Recession sample.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"239 - 252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58950093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the exception of some analysis about the growth of Voice of the Faithful inside the Catholic Church (see), few researchers have focused theoretically on how members of religious groups make sense of and respond to accusations of clergy sexual misconduct against adults. In this paper, we apply the sensegiving paradigm to understand how, during crisis when leaders are absent, members compete to assert cognitive frames that attribute meaning to accusations of clergy sexual misconduct of adults. Our study analyzes a Facebook conversation with over 600 posts from over 100 participants that took place after the foremost leader of an international, Buddhist organization wrote an ambiguous letter of apology regarding clergy sexual misconduct against women members. Treating the conversation as a social discourse, we find that participants generated four conflicting frames. We refer to these frames as Loyalist, Rebel, Rationalist and Processor and distinguish among them by their respective claims regarding how the organization should respond to allegations of sexual misconduct. We find that these frames are conditioned upon the view of the validity of the allegations and the perception of the preexisting power inequalities in the organization. Further, we find that expressions of the different frames in the discourse relate to the gender identity of the participant and vary in their emotional tones.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":"54 1","pages":"186 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/00380237.2021.1921640","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45322594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
