Fiddler on the Roth: A Post-Charlottesville Reinterpretation of Fiddler on the Roof
No full textFiddler on the Roof, the stage and screen adaptation of Sholem Aleichem’s stories about Tevye the dairyman, is a cultural touchstone of the non-orthodox American Jewish community. Debuting on Broadway in 1964 and on the big screen in 1971, the story of the residents of the small Russian-Jewish town, or shtetl, of Anatevka appeared during a time of cultural pride movements from Black Pride to women’s liberation to Puerto Rican Pride and the beginning of Gay Pride. As groups of all sorts embraced their identities, Fiddler presented Jews with the opportunity to celebrate their heritage in the public mainstream and was celebrated by many Jews. [excerpt
On the Folly of Introducing A (Time-Based UMV), While Designing for B (Time-Based CMV)
No full textTo mitigate concerns of common method variance (CMV), researchers often separate predictor and criterion variables, with temporal separation being the most widely applicable option (e.g., Podsakoff et al., 2012). However, temporal separation is empirically understudied relative to other CMV corrections (Lance et al., 2009; Podsakoff et al., 2012). And despite being recommended, CMV corrections may actually underestimate true correlations by as much as 50% (e.g., Lance et al., 2010; Spector, 2006). In fact, uncommon method variance (UMV) theory (Spector et al., 2019) suggests that temporal separation attenuates observed correlations by way of unshared sources of method variance—such as “Time 1” and “Time 2” data collections (Spector et al., 2019).
