In this paper, we explore the role of neighborhoods in this integration process using population-wide Norwegian register data. Our findings reveal considerable socioeconomic disparities in neighborhood conditions among children from different immigrant backgrounds, underscoring the unequal opportunities experienced by these groups. While children of immigrants from high-achieving groups tend to reside in more privileged areas, those who face educational challenges are often concentrated in the most deprived neighborhoods. Furthermore, we find that the influence of socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods on 5th-grade school achievements varies across children with origins from different regions. Specifically, children with parents originating from Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the MENA region are less affected by neighborhood disadvantage compared to natives and other immigrant-origin groups. Supplementary analyses suggest that this resilience to neighborhood disadvantage is partly explained by the buffering effects of co-ethnic communities. In conclusion, the findings of this paper underscore that a nuanced understanding of the role of neighborhoods is needed to decipher social inequalities between not just children of immigrants and native-born children but also between immigrant descendants of different origins.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 103152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143386447","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}

Using riot and census data from United States in the 1960s, this analysis shows that instead of being directly responsible for producing riots, poor structural conditions increase the chances that the residents of a city will imitate other riots. This distinction is subtle, but means that structural effects are moderated by the prior behavior of other actors: lack of prior rioting depresses effects of structural conditions but as riots accumulate, structural conditions begin to play a role and activate imitation. This suggests that structural conditions alone may not have been enough to invoke rioting, but they provided fertile ground for diffusing riot ideology as the riot wave progressed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103129"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178367","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}

Research accounts for inequality in reciprocal exchange via a process of resource withholding, in which advantaged actors—either strategically or not—withhold valued resources from more dependent partners to instead invest in the self or in other relationships. In this study, we examine how contexts and experiences of transparent acceptances and refusals affect the tendency to withhold resources and consequently the emergence of inequality in reciprocal exchange networks. We argue processes that lead to inequality may be disrupted in situational contexts that remove uncertainty about whether reciprocal exchange offers are accepted or refused. Namely, structural pressures toward inequality should weaken as advantaged actors, who have more resources to contribute, become more likely to give and to give more abundantly. Results from an experiment generally support our predictions and provide novel insights into how contexts and experiences of refusal and acceptance affect inequality by modifying giving.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103130"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178364","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}

Local election officials (LEOs) play a key role in shaping these experiences. They run elections in voters' local jurisdictions, and are the authoritative sources of official, accurate, and timely information. Despite enjoying “close to home” status however, election officials may not be every voter's top information source for information about how to vote. In this paper, we argue that relying on \"close to home\" sources — local election offices, local or regional TV stations, and print publications — increases the chances voters are exposed to accurate information about how to vote, which translates into higher confidence in ballot accuracy. Drawing on a nationally representative survey of registered voters before the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, we find a positive relationship between these sources and voter confidence at personal, community, and state levels. This relationship holds even for integrity skeptics, such as Trump voters. While opting into “close to home” information ecosystems improves trust in elections, we note a key caveat: voters who rely on state election offices consistently report lower confidence. This suggests important nuances in how election officials are perceived by the public as trusted messengers in matters of election process and integrity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103131"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178365","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}

Yet, the harmful effect of unemployment might vary depending on the social context. The literature offers two opposing hypotheses about contextual variation: The <em>economic strain</em> approach suggests that becoming unemployed is <em>more</em> harmful during an economic downturn because of reduced employment opportunities and sources of support. In contrast, the <em>social normativity</em> approach suggests that unemployment is <em>less</em> harmful when unemployment is pervasive because of reduced stigma, shame, and guilt. We examine contextual variation in the effect of unemployment in the United States using longitudinal data and individual fixed effects models. We find a U-shaped pattern of contextual variation. The effect of unemployment on psychological wellbeing is smaller at very low and very high state unemployment rates and larger at moderate state unemployment rates. The decline in the harmful effect of unemployment as aggregate unemployment rises from moderate to high is consistent with the normativity hypothesis. While some variation exists across specifications, differences across aggregate levels of unemployment are significant in our preferred specifications. This pattern is similar across gender, suggesting that normative expectations about employment are relatively similar for men and women in the early 21st century. The impact of unemployment on subjective wellbeing depends on how prevalent and normative the experience of unemployment is in society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 103126"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143178343","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}
