Dimensions of Social Stratification and Anomie as Factors of Religious Affiliation in El Salvador Soltero, José Saravia, Romeo A Focus on Salvadorans This paper tests the relevance of social stratification and anomie theories on individuals' decisions of religious affiliation to Catholic, Protestant, and other non-Christian churches, or to remain non-affiliated to any religious group in El Salvador. These objectives are pursued by using a sample of Salvadorans living in poor suburban areas of fourteen cities, one from each state of the country. Based on this sample, several logistic regression models are estimated. The results show that access to medical care, if not available within the community, increases the likelihood of joining Protestant churches; younger individuals are more likely to join Protestant or other churches rather than the Catholic one; unemployment increases the probability of individuals joining non-Christian churches; international return migration compels people to break away from Catholicism and join Protestant or other non-Christian churches; and the presence of community organizations increases the odds that individuals would become Protestant.

Mapping American Adolescent Subjective Religiosity and Attitudes of Alienation Toward Religion: A Research Report Smith, Christian Faris, Robert Denton, Melinda Lundquist Regnerus, Mark A Research Report Sociologists know surprisingly little about the religious attitudes and practices of adolescents in the United States. This article begins to redress that lack of knowledge by examining descriptive findings on adolescent religiosity and attitudes toward religion from two recent, reputable national surveys of American youth. We present descriptive statistics on three fundamental aspects of subjective youth religiosity (importance of religion, frequency of prayer, born again status) and four measures of youth attitudes of alienation toward religion (agreement with parents, approval of churches, desired influence of churches, financial donations to churches). We also examine the influences of gender, race, age, and region on most of these religious outcomes. This descriptive inquiry should help to increase understanding of and to help lay down a baseline of essential descriptive information about American adolescent religiosity. Further research is needed to investigate the social influence of different kinds of religiosity on various outcomes in the lives of American youth.

Religion and Immigration in Comparative Perspective: Catholic and Evangelical Salvadorans in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Phoenix Menjívar, Cecilia A Focus on Salvadorans This study examines Salvadoran immigrants' views of both their participation in the church and the role the church plays in their lives. The focus is on Catholic and Evangelical churches among Salvadoran immigrants in three locations — San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, an approach that allows the examination of the effects of receiving communities on the role religious institutions play in immigrant life. Data come from qualitative field research conducted in the 1990s and 100 in-depth interviews, complemented with interviews of religious leaders and community workers. Catholic and Evangelical churches, following distinct religious teachings, provide different avenues for immigrants to achieve their goals — collective and individual — and enrich the immigrants' lives and their surrounding communities, an outcome that seems independent of the specific receiving community. Although both churches provide assistance, the approach they take (and the religious teachings that shape how assistance is provided) may influence the immigrants' long-term integration.

The 'Religious District' of Elite Congregations: Reproducing Spatial Centrality and Redefining Mission Wedam, Elfriede A Focus on Diversity Elite congregations in urban areas form a “religious district,” a socially constructed religious space, that reproduces yet continually redefines the meaning of that space. I apply insights from urban ecology, the new urban geography, and ‘agency’ theory to examine how congregations in a religious district are shaped by their geographic, cultural, and social contexts. Yet, partly through the changing social geography and partly through the conflicts and struggles of daily congregational life, a new ecological mix emerges that is both anchored in the structures of denominational and urban history of this particular social and geographic environment, but also impressed by creative human actors. Finally, I examine how congregations use the continually evolving religious district to support their mission.

How Monochromatic is Church Membership? Racial-Ethnic Diversity in Religious Community Dougherty, Kevin D. A Focus on Diversity It is a common conception that the church is among the most segregated of American institutions, yet there is little research to identify the extent of racial-ethnic homogeneity or to explain what factors propel diversity within religious communities. Research that does exist draws primarily on individual level data and treats diversity as a categorical variable. This paper introduces a continuous measure of racial-ethnic diversity. It also brings attention to contextual features (region and location size) and organizational features (faith group, church structure, and socioeconomic characteristics) of local religious communities in order to understand the importance of proximity and similarity in promoting racial-ethnic integration. The analysis employs the 1993 American Congregation Giving Study, a sample of 625 congregations and parishes from five Christian traditions. Findings suggest that religious communities are not wholly monochromatic. Patterns of diversity differ by faith group, region, and location size. A discussion of implications concludes the paper.

The Lotto and the Lord: Religious Influences on the Adoption of a Lottery in South Carolina Olson, Laura R. Guth, Karen V. Guth, James L. A Focus on Attitudes On November 7, 2000, despite the ardent pleas of clergy from across the spectrum of religious traditions, South Carolina voters repealed a constitutional amendment to pave the way for a state lottery. In a state known for intense evangelical religiosity, this outcome raises several important questions about the political influence of religion and religious leaders. In this article we offer a history of the religious aspects of the lottery debate in South Carolina and an empirical look at the relationships between religious factors and support for the lottery among South Carolina voters. Specifically, we explore the extent to which involvement in evangelical Protestantism, political salience of religion, and clergy cues affected public support for a state lottery. Data for the empirical analysis are drawn from an October 3, 2000 poll of 450 South Carolinians who had voted in two previous elections.

MASS MEDIA FLOW AND DIFFERENTIAL GROWTH IN KNOWLEDGE TICHENOR, P. J. DONOHUE, G. A. OLIEN, C. N. Articles Data from four types of research—news diffusion studies, time trends, a newspaper strike, and a field experiment—are consistent with the general hypothesis that increasing the flow of news on a topic leads to greater acquisition of knowledge about that topic among the more highly educated segments of society. Whether the resulting knowledge gap closes may depend partly on whether the stimulus intensity of mass media publicity is maintained at a high level, or is reduced or eliminated at a point when only the more active persons have gained that knowledge.

THE JURY METHOD: HOW THE PERSUADER PERSUADES LONDON, HARVEY MELDMAN, PHILIP J. VAN C. LANCKTON, A. Articles The “jury method,” a technique permitting study of two-person persuasive interaction, is used to examine the natural behavior of the persuader. Investigation of the way in which one subject persuades the other suggests that persuasion is a function, not of intelligence, prediscussion conviction, position with respect to the issue, manifest ability, or volubility, but of the expression of confidence during the discussion itself.

PASSIVE LEARNING FROM TELEVISION KRUGMAN, HERBERT E. HARTLEY, EUGENE L. Articles Learning is generally conceived as active and purposive behavior, involving motivation, practice, achievement. Here, the authors focus on “passive” learning, on what is “caught” rather than “taught,” and on the processes by which such learning may take place. Passive learning is typically effortless, responsive to animated stimuli, amenable to artificial aid to relaxation, and characterized by an absence of resistance to what is learned, thus opening up possibilities that, depending on one's point of view, one may welcome or deplore.

CARD SORTING AS A TECHNIQUE FOR SURVEY INTERVIEWING CATALDO, EVERETT F. JOHNSON, RICHARD M. KELLSTEDT, LYMAN A. MILBRATH, LESTER W. Articles This article reports on two years' experience with card sorting, a novel method of gathering survey data in large-scale research. Reliability, validity and response bias are assessed, and reactions of respondents and interviewers are reported. The authors conclude that card sorting is a fast and interesting method of obtaining valid and reliable interview data, and one which appears to be capable as well of counteracting at least some of the biasing effects of response set.

On strategies contributing to active learning Gavalcová, Tatiana Articles Many reasons have been documented about the need for more effective teaching of mathematics in universities. These include changes in the level of mathematical skills of new students; changes in society, particularly technological ones, which have led to a strong preference for visual presentation of information; and new students lacking the independent study skills necessary to succeed in higher education. Several authorities have addressed this problem. In this article, we introduce and discuss ideas and strategies for active learning presented by Krantz and Bressoud. We cite thoughts of Zucker and give a summary of strategies formulated by Zweck.

Increasing engineering students' awareness to environment through innovative teaching of mathematical modelling Klymchuk, Sergiy Zverkova, Tatyana Gruenwald, Norbert Sauerbier, Gabriele Articles This article presents the results of two studies on using an innovative pedagogical strategy in teaching mathematical modelling and applications to engineering students. Both studies are dealing with introducing non-traditional contexts for engineering students in teaching/learning of mathematical modelling and applications: environment and ecology. The aims of using these contexts were: to introduce students to some of the techniques, methodologies and principles of mathematical modelling for ecological and environmental systems; to involve the students in solving real-life problems adjusted to their region emphasizing the aspects of both survival (short term) and sustainability (long term); to encourage students to pay attention to environmental issues. On one hand, the contexts are not directly related to engineering. On the other hand, the chances are that many graduates of engineering will deal with mathematical modelling of environmental systems in one way or another in their future work because nearly every engineering activity has an impact on the environment. The first study is a parallel study conducted in New Zealand and Germany simultaneously with first-year students studying engineering mathematics. The second study is a case study of the experimental course Mathematical Modelling of Survival and Sustainability taught to a mixture of year 2–5 engineering students in Germany by a visiting lecturer from New Zealand. The models used with the students from both studies had several special features. Analysis of students’ responses to questionnaires, their comments and attitudes towards the innovative approach in teaching are presented in the article.

Closing the gap between formalism and application--PBL and mathematical skills in engineering Christensen, Ole Ravn Articles A common problem in learning mathematics concerns the gap between, on the one hand, doing the formalisms and calculations of abstract mathematics and, on the other hand, applying these in a specific contextualized setting for example the engineering world. The skills acquired through problem-based learning (PBL), in the special model used at Aalborg University, Denmark, may give us some idea of how to bridge this gap. Through an investigation of a series of examples of student projects concerning the application of mathematical subjects—such as matrices, differential equations, cluster analysis, graph theory etc.—the skills attained by participating students will be mapped out and discussed.

Promoting student engagement with mathematics support Symonds, Ria Lawson, Duncan Robinson, Carol Articles This article reports the findings of qualitative research undertaken to seek to identify the key reasons why some students are not engaging with mathematics support provided by Loughborough University. The research involved a number of focus groups and ‘on the spot’ interviews with ‘non-users’ from across the campus. Barriers identified include a lack of awareness of the location of support and a fear of embarrassment. Further interviews were conducted with regular users of the support in an attempt to understand how some of these barriers to usage might be overcome. The article will discuss actions that may be taken to improve student engagement with mathematics support and the issue of how student motivation may affect such action.

Which mathematics should we teach engineering students? An empirically grounded case for a broad notion of mathematical thinking Cardella, Monica E. Articles While many engineering educators have proposed changes to the way that mathematics is taught to engineers, the focus has often been on mathematical content knowledge. Work from the mathematics education community suggests that it may be beneficial to consider a broader notion of mathematics: mathematical thinking. Schoenfeld identifies five aspects of mathematical thinking: the mathematics content knowledge we want engineering students to learn as well as problem-solving strategies, use of resources, attitudes and practices. If we further consider the social and material resources available to students and the mathematical practices students engage in, we have a more complete understanding of the breadth of mathematics and mathematical thinking necessary for engineering practice. This article further discusses each of these aspects of mathematical thinking and offers examples of mathematical thinking practices based in the authors' previous empirical studies of engineering students' and practitioners' uses of mathematics. The article also offers insights to inform the teaching of mathematics to engineering students.

Helping engineers learn mathematics: a developmental research approach Jaworski, Barbara Articles A mathematics module in the undergraduate programme for first year engineers aims to enable those with low mathematical qualifications to understand and use efficiently calculus and related topics. The teaching approach is designed to develop student's fluency, understanding and responsibility through creating an inquiry community, encouraging students to engage with materials and support opportunities and extending their thinking through investigative problems. Research is exploring the provision and outcomes of the module. Findings so far indicate highly variable patterns of attendance at sessions and scores on class tests. Attitudes to the module, relationships with students attending sessions and appreciation of materials and support are generally good. Achievement of the aims of the module, however, is relatively low.

The Seasonality of Schizophrenic Births: A Reply to Marc S. Lewis Torrey, E. Fuller Bowler, Ann E. At Issue Lewis contends that the previously demonstrated finding of seasonality of schizophrenic births is a statistical artifact due to the age-incidence effect. If Lewis is correct, then (1) January should have the highest schizophrenic birthrate, (2) December should have the lowest schizophrenic birthrate, (3) the Southern Hemisphere should show the same pattern as the Northern Hemisphere, and (4) the age-incidence effect should be more marked in younger age cohorts. None of these findings have been borne out by studies to date. It is concluded that the seasonality of schizophrenic birthrates is a replicable finding, and should be considered one of the more intriguing clues to the etiology of this disease.

Does Age Incidence Explain All Season-of-birth Effects in the Literature? Dalén, Per At Issue Lewis (1989) has suggested that the effect of so-called age incidence on season-of-birth data may be a sufficient explanation of the anomalies found in many samples of schizophrenic patients. Various predictions made by Lewis do not agree, however, with data available from some of the sources he quoted. Age incidence can be a source of error when a small age difference has a considerable effect on the likelihood of being included in a sample. Depending on methods of ascertainment, this is unusual in empirical studies.

Pharmacological Treatment of Substance-abusing Schizophrenic Patients Siris, Samuel G. Articles This article reviews special clinical dilemmas inherent in the differential pharmacotherapy of patients with the dual diagnoses of schizophrenia and substance abuse. The author discusses the role of neuroleptic medications in treating the psychotic diathesis, preventing recurrences of schizophrenic symptomatology, counteracting psychotic exacerbations engendered by abused substances, and potentially generating side effects such as akinesia and akathisia that patients may attempt to “self-medicate” with substances of abuse. Also addressed are the potential adjunctive roles of antiparkinsonian medications, tricyclic antidepressants, and benzodiazepines in appropriately selected cases, as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions of psychotropic medications and substances of abuse. Throughout the course of these psychopharmacological strategies, the value of psychosocial interventions geared to recognizing and compensating for specific schizophrenic vulnerabilities should be emphasized, as substance abuse is addressed in the context of a complication in the course of schizophrenia.

Barriers to the Care of Persons With Dual Diagnoses: Organizational and Financing Issues Ridgely, M. Susan Goldman, Howard H. Willenbring, Mark Articles Among the frustrations of managing the dual disorders of chronic mental illness and alcohol and drug abuse is the fact that knowing what to do (by way of special programming) is insufficient to address the problem. The <it>system</it> problems are at least as intractable as the chronic illnesses themselves. Organizing and financing care of patients with comorbities is complicated. At issue are the ways in which we administer mental health and alcohol and drug treatment as well as finance that care. Separate administrative divisions and funding pools, while appropriate for political expediency, visibility, and administrative efficiency, have compounded the problems inherent in serving persons with multiple disabilities. Arbitrary service divisions and categorical boundaries at the State level prevent local governments and programs from organizing joint projects or creatively managing patients across service boundaries. When patients cannot adapt to the way services are organized, we risk reinforcing their overutilization of inpatient and emergency services, which are ineffective mechanisms for delivering the care these patients need. This article reviews the barriers in organization and financing of care (categoric and third party financing, including the special problem of diagnosis-related groups limitations) and proposes strategies to enhance the delivery of appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis and Screening for Psychotic Disorders in a Study of the Homeless Susser, Ezra S. Struening, Elmer L. Articles In a survey of homeless men, the authors found that screening scales for psychotic symptoms (Psychiatric Epidemiology Research Instrument) and signs (6-item scale of observational ratings) predicted a rating of psychosis (possible, probable, or definite) on a diagnostic interview (Structured Clinical Interview for <it>DSM-III-R</it>: Psychotic Disorders) reasonably well, in a sample where psychosis was common. Although the two scales performed well when used in conjunction, neither scale showed adequate predictive power when used alone. The authors conclude that screening for psychotic disorders in community studies is feasible for some purposes. They suggest approaches to the use of diagnostic interviews and screening scales in future community studies that might enhance the interpretability of results as well as the efficacy of screening.

Cognitive Deficits and Thought Disorder: II. An 8-month Followup Study Harvey, Philip D. Docherty, Nancy M. Serper, Mark R. Rasmussen, Myrna Articles Schizophrenic (<it>n</it>=21) and manic (<it>n</it>=19) patients were followed up an average of 8 months after an index assessment during an acute admission. These patients were tested at both assessments with laboratory tasks measuring distractibility and reality monitoring and were examined with clinical ratings of positive and negative thought disorder. For manic patients, none of the measures predicted the patients' clinical state of followup, while negative thought disorder, although rare, was temporally stable. For the schizophrenic patients, both negative thought disorder and distractibility were temporally stable, and more severe negative thought disorder was found at index assessment in patients who were psychotic at followup. The differential utility of laboratory and clinical indices for the prediction of overall clinical state is related to these data.

Hospitalization and the Composition of Mental Patients' Social Networks Holmes-Eber, Paula Riger, Stephanie Articles Social networks of 310 chronically mentally ill patients in Chicago-area State mental hospitals were examined to assess the relationship between the number of hospitalizations and network size and composition. As the number and length of admissions increases, although network size remains stable, there are fewer relatives and friends in the network. The networks of patients with frequent admissions are composed primarily of people met through the mental health system and those known for a short time. These differences are neither related to diagnosis nor to severity of mental illness. The results suggest that the process of hospitalization is related to patients' sources of social support. Implications for readmissions are discussed.

Substance Abuse Comorbidity in Schizophrenia: Editors' Introduction Lieberman, Jeffrey A. Bowers, Malcolm B.

Prevalence of Substance Abuse in Schizophrenia: Demographic and Clinical Correlates Mueser, Kim T. Yarnold, Paul R. Levinson, Douglas F. Singh, Hardeep Bellack, Alan S. Kee, Kimmy Morisson, Randall L. Yadalam, Kashinath G. Articles Methodological issues involved in assessing the prevalence of substance abuse in schizophrenia are discussed, and previous research in this area is comprehensively reviewed. Many studies suffer from methodological shortcomings, including the lack of diagnostic rigor, adequate sample sizes, and simultaneous assessment of different types of substance abuse (e.g., stimulants, sedatives). In general, the evidence suggests that the prevalence of substance abuse in schizophrenia is comparable to that in the general population, with the possible exceptions of stimulant and hallucinogen abuse, which may be greater in patients with schizophrenia. Data are presented on the association of substance abuse with demographics, diagnosis, history of illness, and symptoms in 149 recently hospitalized <it>DSM-III-R</it> schizophrenic, schizophreniform, and schizoaffective disorder patients. Demographic characteristics were strong predictors of substance abuse, with gender, age, race, and socioeconomic status being most important. Stimulant abusers tended to have their first hospitalization at an earlier age and were more often diagnosed as having schizophrenia, but did not differ in their symptoms from nonabusers. A history of cannabis abuse was related to fewer symptoms and previous hospitalizations, suggesting that more socially competent patients were prone to cannabis use. The findings show that environmental factors may be important determinants of substance abuse among schizophrenic-spectrum patients and that clinical differences related to abuse vary with different types of drugs.

Schizophrenic Birth Seasonality and the Age-incidence Artifact Watson, Charles G. At Issue Lewis (1989) dismisses a large number of articles in which schizophrenic winter birthrate excesses have been reported as the result of either design problems or the age-incidence artifact. We review about 20 studies in which the effects of age incidence have been controlled in one way or another.

Diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorders in Schizophrenia Drake, Robert E. Osher, Fred C. Noordsy, Douglas L. Hurlbut, Stephanie C. Teague, Gregory B. Beaudett, Malcolm S. Articles Alcohol use disorders are common comorbid conditions in schizophrenia, and their presence is associated with poor adjustment and poor treatment response. Standard alcohol assessment instruments have not been' validated for use with schizophrenic patients, and several authors have questioned the validity of these patients' selfreports. A reliable and valid screening procedure for assessing alcohol use is needed. The present study used the following three methods to evaluate a rural sample of 75 outpatients with <it>DSM-III-R</it> schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder: (1) clinical records; (2) research interviews using standard alcohol assessment instruments; and (3) case managers' ratings. In addition, consensus diagnoses, determined by combining information from all three methods with intensive case reviews, were used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the other approaches. As expected, clinical evaluations frequently missed alcohol problems. Research interviews and case managers' ratings differentiated between alcoholic and nonalcoholic schizophrenic patients and were highly correlated. Case managers' ratings, which incorporated longitudinal observations of behavior and collateral reports as well as interview data, were more sensitive measures of current alcohol use disorders than research interviews. Subjects frequently manifested alcohol-related problems that interfered with community adjustment without the full dependence syndrome, suggesting that schizophrenic patients may be particularly vulnerable to negative effects of alcohol.

Acute Effects of Drug Abuse in Schizophrenic Patients: Clinical Observations and Patients' Self-reports Dixon, Lisa Haas, Gretchen Weiden, Peter Sweeney, John Frances, Allen Articles Substance abuse among schizophrenic patients is an increasingly recognized clinical phenomenon. The authors review experimental and observed clinical effects of drug abuse and patients' subjective experiences of acute intoxication. Though drug abuse may exacerbate psychotic symptoms, abused drugs may also lead to transient symptom reduction in subgroups of schizophrenic patients. Some patients report feeling less dysphoric, less anxious, and more energetic while intoxicated. Models of the relationship of drug abuse and schizophrenia, particularly the self-medication hypothesis, are discussed in reference to these data.

Psychotogenic Drug Use and Neuroleptic Response Bowers, Malcolm B. Mazure, Carolyn M. Nelson, J. Craig Jatlow, Peter I. Articles When fixed doses of haloperidol or perphenazine were used in two separate studies, we found that psychotic males with a prior history of psychotogenic drug use had a poorer early neuroleptic response even in the early stages of their psychotic disorder than psychotic males who had not previously used significant amounts of psychotogenic drugs. Relative neuroleptic refractoriness may be characteristic of some dual diagnosis patients at the beginning of their illness. Antecedent psychotogenic drug use may contribute to the development of psychosis and to relative neuroleptic refractoriness by means of effects upon dopaminergic mechanisms.

Impact of Substance Abuse on the Course and Outcome of Schizophrenia Turner, Winston M. Tsuang, Ming T. Articles Numerous pharmacological agents have been shown to have powerful effects on cognitive behavior. Schizophrenia-like reactions have been reported in some instances. There have also been persistent reports of drug abuse among psychiatric patients before and during hospitalization. These phenomena have led to speculation that psychoactive substances are affecting the course and outcome of psychiatric illnesses, and in particular, schizophrenia. This report first reviews the evidence for psychotomimetic effects of various drugs, and then focuses on reports of the effect that substance abuse has on the course of schizophrenia and long-term outcome. The evidence to date indicates that there is a need for a large epidemiological analysis of the interplay between drug abuse and schizophrenia as well as more intensive case studies of afflicted individuals. This discussion concludes with suggestions for improved research methods and two designs for future investigations.

Dopaminergic Mechanisms in Idiopathic and Drug-induced Psychoses Lieberman, Jeffrey A. Kinon, Bruce J. Loebel, Antony D. Articles Stimulant drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine are among the most commonly abused substances by schizophrenic patients. This may be due in part to aspects of the illness and treatment side effects that impel patients to use dopamine agonist drugs. Dopaminergic neural systems have been shown to mediate both stimulant drug effects and schizophrenia. Because of the hypothesized overlap in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and the neurobiological effects of chronic stimulant use, the potential for serious complication of the primary disease by substance abuse exists. This article reviews the neurobiological mechanisms of behavioral sensitization and neurotoxicity associated with chronic stimulant administration in the context of pathophysiological theories of schizophrenia. Discussion focuses on the potential impact of stimulant use on the disease process as well as the manifest phenomenology and course of schizophrenia.

Self-Interest and Civilians' Attitudes Toward the Vietnam War LAU, RICHARD R. BROWN, THAD A. SEARS, DAVID O. Articles <sec> The possible consequences of self-interest on American public opinion were examined in the context of the United States military involvement in Vietnam Civilians' personal connections to the war, in terms of their friends' and relatives' military service, did make them pay more attention to the war, but such connections seemed to have only weak effects on the salience of the war as a political issue. Similarly, there was no evidence that the self-interested had distinctively self-serving policy attitudes toward the war. Rather, the more important determinants of attitudes toward the war were attitudes toward various political symbols associated with the war. Finally, self-interest made very little difference in enhancing the consistency of partisan attitudes involved in the 1968 presidential decision. </sec> Oxford University Press 1978-12-01 00:00:00.0 TEXT text/html http://poq.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/short/42/4/464 http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/268474 en Copyright (C) 1978, American Association for Public Opinion Research

Ideology and American Political Elites KRITZER, HERBERT M. Articles This paper presents evidence that American political elites think and behave in an ideological way. Factor analyses of individual questionnaire items drawn from elite studies in 1958 and 1972 show only marginal evidence of the type of structuring implied by the concept of ideology. However, similar analyses of a priori, multi-item scales constructed from the 1972 surveys clearly show evidence of structure for the elite sample, particularly as compared to a parallel mass sample; this raises serious questions about the use of single item scales in past analyses of political ideology. Further evidence of elite ideology is found in an analysis of interest group ratings of U.S. Representatives in 1970 and 1974. These findings provide strong support for the argument that ideology plays an important role in the perceptions and behavior of American political elites.

The Similarity of Political Values of Parents and College-age Youths NIEMI, RICHARD G. DANFORTH ROSS, R. ALEXANDER, JOSEPH Articles Studies of college students over the past decade have most often inferred a high rate of intergenerational continuity of political values. In contrast, political socialization studies have concluded that parent-youth similarity is low to moderate except in the case of party identification. Analysis of interviews with a representative national sample of seventeen- to twenty-three-years-olds, along with independent interviews with their parents, supports the political socialization tradition for nonstudents and students alike, including student activists and students at elite colleges.

Characteristics of Nonopinion and No Opinion Response Groups FAULKENBERRY, G.DAVID MASON, ROBERT Articles <sec> In a nationwide survey concerning the public acceptance of wind energy conversion systems, interviewers were trained to classify equivocal responses as nonexistent (don't know) or ambivalent (no opinion) opinion states. After the respondents were classified into one of four opinion groups (don't know, no opinion, oppose, or favor), an among-groups discriminant analysis was employed using six independent variables. These variables were an individual's level of formal education, awareness, mass media exposure, knowledge about the topic, city size, and physical wind energy potential of the state in which the respondent lived. Results showed that the 'don't know' and 'no opinion' groups differed not only from substantive opinion groups (favor and oppose) but also from each other. Those whose responses were classified as nonexistent opinions were less educated and had lower mass media use and lower knowledge scores than respondents classed as holding ambivalent opinions. </sec> Oxford University Press 1978-12-01 00:00:00.0 TEXT text/html http://poq.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/short/42/4/533 http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/268478 en Copyright (C) 1978, American Association for Public Opinion Research

The Question of Sign-Language and the Utility of Signs in the Instruction of the Deaf: Two Papers by Alexander Graham Bell (1898) 10th Anniversary Classics Alexander Graham Bell is often portrayed as either hero or villain of deaf individuals and the Deaf community. His writings, however, indicate that he was neither, and was not as clearly definite in his beliefs about language as is often supposed. The following two articles, reprinted from <it>The Educator</it> (1898), Vol. V, pp. 3–4 and pp. 38–44, capture Bell's thinking about sign language and its use in the classroom. Contrary to frequent claims, Bell does not demand “oral” training for all deaf children – even if he thinks it is the superior alternative – but does advocate for it for “the semi-deaf” and “the semi-mute.” “In regard to the others,” he writes, “I am not so sure.” Although he clearly voices his support for oral methods and fingerspelling (the Rochester method) over sign language, Bell acknowledges the use and utility of signing in a carefully-crafted discussion that includes both linguistics and educational philosophy. In separating the language used at home from that in school and on the playground, Bell reveals a far more complex view of language learning by deaf children than he is often granted. (<it>M.

Phonological Processing in Deaf Children: When Lipreading and Cues Are Incongruent Alegria, J. Lechat, J. Empirical Articles Deaf children exposed to Cued Speech (CS), either before age two (early) or later at school (late), were presented with pseudowords with and without CS. The main goal was to establish the way in which lipreading and CS combine to produce unitary percepts, similar to audiovisual integration in speech perception, when participants are presented with synchronized but different lipreading and auditory information (the McGurk paradigm). In the present experiment, lips and cues were sometimes congruent and sometimes incongruent. It was expected that incongruent cues would force the perceptual system to adopt solutions according to the weight attributed to different sources of phonological information. With congruent cues, performance improved, with improvements greater in the early than the late group. With incongruent cues, performance decreased relative to lipreading only, indicating that cues were not ignored, and it was observed that the effect of incongruent cues increased when the visibility of the target phoneme decreased. The results are compatible with the notion that the perceptual system integrates cues and lipreading according to principles similar to those evoked to explain audiovisual integration.

Parents' of Deaf Children Evaluative Accounts of the Process and Practice of Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Young, Alys Tattersall, Helen Empirical Articles This article presents results from a narrative interview study of 45 parents/caregivers whose infants were correctly identified as deaf through Phase 1 of the Newborn Hearing Screening Programme in England. It concerns the period from the first screening event to the point of referral for audiological assessment. It focuses on the meanings parents attribute to the inconclusive message that the screen delivers and analyzes what it is that differentiates parents for whom such an outcome raises little concern from those who express dissatisfaction. Parents' evaluations of specific features of screening practice and process such as communication style and manner are also considered. It ends with a discussion of the status and validity of parents' accounts within the context of an evaluation of a national screening program and the further development of professional practice.

Predicting Career Development in Hard-of-Hearing Adolescents in Australia Punch, Renée Creed, Peter A. Hyde, Merv Empirical Articles This article reports on a study investigating the career development of hard-of-hearing high school students attending regular classes with itinerant teacher support. We compared 65 hard-of-hearing students with a matched group of normally hearing peers on measures of career maturity, career indecision, perceived career barriers, and three variables associated with social cognitive career theory career decision-making self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and goals. In addition, the predictors of career maturity and career indecision were tested in both groups. Results indicated that (a) the two groups did not differ on measures of career maturity, (b) the SCCT variables were less predictive of career behaviors for the hard-of-hearing students than for the normally hearing students, and (c) perceived career barriers related to hearing loss predicted lower scores on career maturity attitude for the hard-of-hearing students. These findings are discussed in the context of career education and counseling interventions that may benefit young people who are hard of hearing.

Initiations of Social Interactions by Young Hearing Impaired Preschoolers Weisel, Amatzia Most, Tova Efron, Clara Empirical Articles This study examined strategies for initiating social interactions with peers, among 4 children with hearing impairment, aged 33 to 36 months, attending a special early education center or a regular kindergarten. The study investigated initiation type (related to partner's hearing status) and rates of initiation success/failure vis-à-vis hearing and deaf partners. Results revealed (a) more initiations in the regular program than in the special program; (b) in the special program, much more successful initiations toward children with hearing impairment than toward hearing children; (c) vocalization as the most frequent strategy used with both hearing and hearing-impaired partners; and (d) referential decisions about their initiations even among young children with hearing impairment (made by changing frequencies of various strategies according to partner's hearing status). The discussion addressed implications regarding integration of children with hearing impairment into regular educational settings.

Ethical Reasoning and Mental Health Services with Deaf Clients Gutman, Virginia Ethics and Deafness Ethical problems encountered by mental health practitioners working with deaf clients are often complex and involve issues not fully addressed in professional codes of ethics. A principles-based ethical reasoning process can assist in resolving many of these ethical concerns. Principles such as beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, fairness, integrity, and respect are found in the ethical codes of many disciplines; these can also create a common language or reference point when professionals from different fields attempt to deal with shared problems. This article discusses some applications of these principles in working with deaf individuals and proposes an ethical decision-making process that can provide a framework for ethical reasoning in thinking through complex problems.

Ethics, Deafness, and New Medical Technologies Hintermair, Manfred Albertini, John A. Ethics and Deafness In the last 50 years, several new technologies have become enormously important within the Deaf community and have helped significantly to improve deaf people's lives in a hearing world. Current public attention and admiration, however, seems unduly focused on medical technologies that promise to solve “the problem” of being deaf. One reason for this interest, we argue, is the public's preoccupation with deafness as a disability and promises that technological breakthroughs such as the cochlear implant will “cure” deafness. Pressure on parents to make quick and early decisions and lack of adequate information about alternatives often leave them unprepared for the consequences of these decisions. To allow deaf individuals and their families to make better informed decisions about their lives and their futures, we argue finally that professionals who interact with these families adopt inclusive and individualizing ethics.

An Unhappy and Utterly Pitiable Creature? Life and Self-Images of Deaf People in the Netherlands at the Time of the Founding Fathers of Deaf Education Tellings, Agnes Tijsseling, Corrie Endnotes This article describes how young deaf people in the Netherlands between 1809 and 1828 made the transition from living in a school for the Deaf,<cross-ref type="fn" refid="fn1">1</cross-ref> a rather protected community with mostly deaf people and with hearing people who could understand them rather well, to a life in hearing society with mostly hearing people who knew little about deafness. How did they manage to live in that hearing society? The article describes how these deaf people viewed themselves as Deaf persons in a hearing society. The description is based on an analysis of 73 letters written by 35 ex-pupils to the founder of their school, Reverend H. D. Guyot. As it turns out, these deaf ex-pupils managed to live in hearing society remarkably well.

Evaluation of the Support Services Provided to Deaf Children Attending Secondary General Schools in Cyprus Hadjikakou, Kika Petridou, Lenia Stylianou, Chryso Endnotes Deaf children have been integrated into secondary schools in Cyprus since 1990. This article reports the results of a major study carried out in Cyprus, the aim of which was to evaluate for the first time the support services available for deaf children receiving their education in secondary general schools. For the purposes of our study, four types of questionnaires were designed and administered to all deaf children integrated into secondary general schools, as well as to their parents, teachers, and head teachers. All participants stressed that the support services are vital for the children's academic success and social integration. The main support services identified by the participants in our study were: one-to-one and group sessions; presence of co-coordinators (special teachers of the deaf); “acoustical treatment” of the classrooms; provision and management of personal amplification, psychological support, and counseling; and in-service training for designated teachers. The majority of the participants expressed satisfaction with the support services offered to them. They also made some suggestions for the improvement of the integration of deaf children into secondary schools in Cyprus.

Arabic Sign Language: A Perspective Abdel-Fattah, M. A. Endnotes Sign language in the Arab World has been recently recognized and documented. Many efforts have been made to establish the sign language used in individual countries, including Jordan, Egypt, Libya, and the Gulf States, by trying to standardize the language and spread it among members of the Deaf community and those concerned. Such efforts produced many sign languages, almost as many as Arabic-speaking countries, yet with the same sign alphabets. This article gives a tentative account of some sign languages in Arabic through reference to their possible evolution, which is believed to be affected by the diglossic situation in Arabic, and by comparing some aspects of certain sign languages (Jordanian, Palestinian, Egyptian, Kuwaiti, and Libyan) for which issues such as primes, configuration, and movement in addition to other linguistic features are discussed. A contrastive account that depicts the principal differences among Arabic sign languages in general and the spoken language is given.
