We theorize that women in natural disaster-hit countries that receive higher levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) are less susceptible to the gendered impacts of those disasters. Since FDI is vital to post-disaster economic recovery, countries grappling with natural disasters are motivated to uphold women's rights as a strategy to attract FDI. Furthermore, multinational corporations (MNCs)’ operation and commitment to gender equality-based values and practices are also an impetus to address the deterioration in respect for women's rights. By conducting a time-series cross-sectional, ordered logistic analysis with random effects and using a comprehensive dataset on natural disasters and women's rights, including 107 developing countries from 1990 to 2011, we find that FDI mitigates natural disasters' adverse effects on women's economic rights but not their political rights.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 102937"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X23000923/pdfft?md5=8622442ff301f76eb6a03f4727d0ea95&pid=1-s2.0-S0049089X23000923-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138467229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current article applies this concept to the context of religiosity during people's upbringing, recognizing that multiple factors make family-level religion a complex experience. Indeed, though recent research portrays household religiosity in childhood as a sociocultural exposure with long-term implications for well-being, existing studies have yet to incorporate multiple inputs to consider the cohesiveness of that exposure. Using twin data from a national sample, we investigate whether consistency in recalled household religiosity is associated with mid-life flourishing. Multi-level linear regression models reveal that similarity in twin reports matter, above and beyond the actual level of religiosity individuals report and net of dis/similarity across other childhood recollections. We conclude that coherence in religious upbringing—whether religion was understood to be important or not—is a key ingredient for thriving later in life and then reflect more broadly on manifestations of sociocultural ambiguity in families and in larger social units.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 102949"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138448268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS) to show that whereas academic press (or <em>average</em> school academic culture) is positively related to enrollment, <em>variation</em> in school academic culture is associated with declines in enrollment. These findings hold net of students’ own academic behaviors and beliefs, background factors, and school characteristics. Thus, exposure to conflicting models of culture can lead youth to make decisions that do not reflect broader societal goals. This study addresses the misalignment between the conceptual and empirical definitions of culture in education by examining the link between school academic culture measured as a group-level process, which is consistent with how scholars discuss culture, and college enrollment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 102944"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X23000996/pdfft?md5=46315507fce6412cb5c8cf259f3a3e26&pid=1-s2.0-S0049089X23000996-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138412682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on the United Kingdom and West Germany, two countries with dissimilar skill formation institutions, patterns of expansion, and labor markets, this paper asks to what degree expansion of education has been absorbed. I point out shortcomings of wage-centered analyses and develop an approach that focuses on trends in self-assessed over- and underqualification. Using repeated surveys among workers and official labor market statistics, I estimate regression models that link the cohort-level expansion of education to the cohort-level prevalence of mismatch. Results suggest overexpansion in the United Kingdom, with overqualification increasing and underqualification decreasing over historical times and cohorts. West Germany, on the other hand, shows signs of underexpansion. While dominant theoretical accounts focus on the under-/overexpansion of tertiary education, my results show that mismatch-dynamics in both contexts are strongest for workers without university degrees.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 102948"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X23001035/pdfft?md5=9de949b78eecec61c23b4b4c9961a980&pid=1-s2.0-S0049089X23001035-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92105651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conduct an online survey among a football-affine and socio-demographically diverse sample in the UK. We find that anti-gay attitudes are rare. Importantly, estimates from a list experiment do not differ from the prevalence measured by direct questions, providing no evidence of social desirability. By contrast, second-order beliefs about anti-gay attitudes substantially and consistently exceed attitudes, pointing towards pluralistic ignorance as the most likely explanation. We conclude by emphasizing the need for transparent communication to reduce pluralistic ignorance and correct misperceptions among players, officials and supporters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 102947"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0049089X23001023/pdfft?md5=7062efb7f57a9bb7b94b7ceaf23d2b3c&pid=1-s2.0-S0049089X23001023-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92149865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
