Attitudes Toward Younger and Older Adults: An Updated Meta‐Analytic ReviewJournal of Social Issues - Tập 61 Số 2 - Trang 241-266 - 2005
Mary E. Kite, Gary D. Stockdale, Bernard E. Whitley, Blair T. Johnson
This meta‐analytic review of 232 effect sizes showed that, across five
categories, attitudes were more negative toward older than younger adults.
Perceived age differences were largest for age stereotypes and smallest for
evaluations. As predicted by social role theory (Eagly, 1987), effect sizes were
reduced when detailed information was provided about the person being rated. The
double standard ... hiện toàn bộ
Machines and Mindlessness: Social Responses to ComputersJournal of Social Issues - Tập 56 Số 1 - Trang 81-103 - 2000
Clifford Nass, Youngme Moon
Following Langer (1992), this article reviews a series of experimental studies
that demonstrate that individuals mindlessly apply social rules and expectations
to computers. The first set of studies illustrates how individuals overuse human
social categories, applying gender stereotypes to computers and ethnically
identifying with computer agents. The second set demonstrates thatpeople exhibit

The Multiple Realities of Sameness and Difference: Ideology and PracticeJournal of Social Issues - Tập 53 Số 2 - Trang 259-277 - 1997
Cynthia Fuchs Epstein
Gender distinctions as dichotomous categories are perpetuated and maintained by
social mechanisms and are socially constructed. Part of this social construction
is reproduced by many social scientists who adopt mainstream cultural categories
of gender and, through theoretical or methodological biases, fail to question
them, or who, by their own practices, reinforce them. This analysis is an

How Young Children Evaluate People With and Without DisabilitiesJournal of Social Issues - Tập 70 Số 1 - Trang 99-114 - 2014
Lauren K. Huckstadt, Kristin Shutts
How do preschool‐age children evaluate people with disabilities, and does social
contact make children more positive toward those who are different from them? To
answer these questions, typically developing (TD) 3‐ to 5‐year‐old children
completed tasks designed to measure their social preferences for, and judgments
about the actions of, unfamiliar individuals with and without disabilities.

Selective Activation and Disengagement of Moral ControlJournal of Social Issues - Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 27-46 - 1990
Albert Bandura
Moral conduct is motivated and regulated mainly by the ongoing exercise of
self‐reactive influence. But self‐regulatory mechanisms do not operate unless
they are activated, and there are different psychological mechanisms by which
moral control can be selectively activated or disengaged from inhumane conduct.
Self‐sanctions can be disengaged by reconstruing detrimental conduct through
moral justif... hiện toàn bộ
The Justice of Need and the Activation of Humanitarian NormsJournal of Social Issues - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 111-136 - 1975
Shalom H. Schwartz
The distinctiveness of the justice of need and of humanitarian norms is examined
and it is suggested that people do indeed sacrifice their own resources for the
benefit of others without hope of external reward, motivated by internalized
personal norms. A theoretical process leading from awareness of need through
norm activation to overt behavior based on the justice of need is outlined,

Sexual Pollution: Reproductive Sex Taboos in American SocietyJournal of Social Issues - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 144-165 - 1977
Karen Ericksen Paige
A theory is presented to explain the similarity between America and other
societies in reproductive sex taboos. The theory argues that these taboos are
based on a concept of sexual pollution and represent implicit mechanisms used to
solve inevitable social dilemmas produced by marriage. Data were collected from
a representative sample of adults to test the theory. The results showed that
measures ... hiện toàn bộ
Perceptions of Control in Vulnerable PopulationsJournal of Social Issues - Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 1-21 - 1991
Suzanne C. Thompson, Shirlynn Spacapan
A lack of control is a critical social issue when it is experienced by
individuals who already have little opportunity to exercise control; thus, this
journal issue brings together research on a number of vulnerable populations:
children, medical patients, lower level employees, and the elderly. Because of
the diverse populations to which this concept has been applied, the perceived
control litera... hiện toàn bộ
Environmentalism and Public Policy: Environmental Justice: Grassroots Activism and Its Impact on Public Policy Decision MakingJournal of Social Issues - Tập 56 Số 3 - Trang 555-578 - 2000
Robert D. Bullard, Glenn S. Johnson
A growing body of evidence reveals that people of color and low‐income persons
have borne greater environmental and health risks than the society at large in
their neighborhoods, workplace, and playgrounds. Over the last decade or so,
grassroots activists have attempted to change the way government implements
environmental, health, and civil rights laws. Grassroots groups have organized,
educated,... hiện toàn bộ
New Trends in Measuring Environmental Attitudes: Measuring Endorsement of the New Ecological Paradigm: A Revised NEP ScaleJournal of Social Issues - Tập 56 Số 3 - Trang 425-442 - 2000
Riley E. Dunlap, Kent D. Van Liere, Angela G. Mertig, Robert E. Jones
Dunlap and Van Liere's New Environmental Paradigm (NEP) Scale, published in
1978, has become a widely used measure of proenvironmental orientation. This
article develops a revised NEP Scale designed to improve upon the original one
in several respects: (1) It taps a wider range of facets of an ecological
worldview, (2) It offers a balanced set of pro‐ and anti‐NEP items, and (3) It
avoids outmoded... hiện toàn bộ
