Gender, Values, and Environmentalism
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 83 Số 1 - Trang 353-364 - 2002
Objective. The social psychological values altruism, self‐interest,
traditionalism, and openness to change are key correlates of environmental
concern and proenvironmental behavior. We investigate the relationship between
gender and these values to better understand gender differences in
environmentalism. We consider both gender differences in value priorities
(differences in mean response on valu...
Interstate Competition and Environmental Regulation: A Test of the Race‐to‐the‐Bottom Thesis*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 87 Số 1 - Trang 174-189 - 2006
Objective. This study assesses the effect of interstate competition on the
stringency with which states enforce environmental regulations.Method. Pooled
cross‐sectional time‐series analysis of state surface‐mining regulation is used
to determine if the enforcement gap between a state and competitor states
affects the stringency of state enforcement.Results. The results suggest that
state enforceme...
What Explains the Gender Gap in Schlepping? Testing Various Explanations for Gender Differences in Household‐Serving Travel*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 96 Số 5 - Trang 1493-1510 - 2015
ObjectivesMany gender differences in travel have begun to converge. Has
convergence occurred for household‐serving travel, which constitutes a very
large and growing share of all trips? Moreover, what explains the division of
household‐serving travel in heterosexual couples? In answering these questions,
we test the salience of three theories about the gendered division of household
labor: (1) tim...
Cross‐National Gender Variation in Environmental Behaviors*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 85 Số 3 - Trang 677-694 - 2004
Objective. This article presents a cross‐national examination of gender
variations in environmental behaviors. Research on environmental concern reveals
modest distinctions between men and women, with women typically displaying
higher levels of environmental concern and behavioral adjustments relative to
men. Additionally, some prior research suggests that women appear more engaged
in household‐or...
Who Wants to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 83 Số 1 - Trang 1-17 - 2002
Objective. We examine cognitive, economic, and partisan heuristic theories of
why some people express support for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Methods.
Data come from a mail survey of 623 residents of central Pennsylvania, a region
in which mitigation costs exceed potential benefits from slowing the rate of
global warming. Results. Ordinary least squares analysis shows that people who
can ac...
Digital Distinction: Status‐Specific Types of Internet Usage*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 90 Số 2 - Trang 274-291 - 2009
Objective. Sociologists of technology propose that not only a technological
artifact, as such, but also patterns of usage should be considered when studying
the social implications of technologies. Accordingly, we explore how people's
online activities are influenced by users' socioeconomic status and context of
use.Methods. We analyze data from the Allensbacher Computer and Technology
Analysis (A...
Deforestation and the Environmental Kuznets Curve: A Cross‐National Investigation of Intervening Mechanisms
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 83 Số 1 - Trang 226-243 - 2002
Objective. We draw on ecological modernization theory and international
political economy arguments to examine the sources of an environmental Kuznets
curve (or EKC) that produces an inverted U‐shaped rate of deforestation relative
to economic development. Method. We use ordinary least squares regression with
White's (1978) correction for possible heteroskedasticity to examine the rate of
deforest...
Social Vulnerability to Environmental Hazards*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 84 Số 2 - Trang 242-261 - 2003
Objective.County‐level socioeconomic and demographic data were used to construct
an index of social vulnerability to environmental hazards, called the Social
Vulnerability Index (SoVI) for the United States based on 1990
data.Methods.Using a factor analytic approach, 42 variables were reduced to 11
independent factors that accounted for about 76 percent of the variance. These
factors were placed i...

Ideas and Institutional Change in Social Security: Conversion, Layering, and Policy Drift*
Social Science Quarterly - Tập 88 Số 1 - Trang 20-38 - 2007
Objectives.In recent years, social scientists such as Kathleen Thelen and Jacob
Hacker have introduced new concepts to assist in the understanding of
institutional change. Fostering some of these concepts, this article proceeds to
augment the theoretical debate on institutional change in social science and
policy research. A discussion of Social Security development in the United
States advances t...
