Risk perception and the presentation of self: Reflections from fieldwork on risk
Get PDFThe growth of sociological interest in how people perceive and experience everyday risk needs to be matched with more empirical research. This paper reflects on such a study, and discusses one of the methodological challenges this involved. The study adopts a narrative biographical method (loosely defined) to examine participants' decision-making in relation to their careers. To avoid prejudicing participants' responses about the extent to which notions of risk impact on their worldviews, explicit reference to "risk" was withheld in the interviews. Participants were not preoccupied with risk and, ostensibly, tended to distance themselves from their roles as agents. However, their stories provided examples of decision-making and risk-awareness. The paper argues that participants' presentation of self—or, in the context of the interviews, their narrative construction of identity—obscures their roles as life-planners. Thus, a challenge for empirical research of everyday risk is to disentangle how people identify and present themselves, and how they perceive themselves as agents in risk society.Noel Smith, Andreas Cebulla, Lynne Cox & Abigail Davie
Young people from ethnic minority backgrounds: evidence from the education maintenance allowance pilots database
Get PDFThis report is one of three that are being prepared for the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), exploiting data from the large scale surveys of young people that have formed part of the evaluation of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) Pilots. Data from the large scale longitudinal surveys, undertaken as part of the evaluation of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) pilots, allow comparisons to be made between the experiences of white, Indian, Pakistani or Bangladeshi and black young people as they reflect on their experiences during school years 10 and 11 in the months following the end of compulsory education. This research report explores the transitions made by young people from ethnic minority backgrounds from compulsory education, and their subsequent education and labour market experiences.Sue Middleton, Joanne Rennison, Andreas Cebulla, Kim Perren and Sandra De-Beama
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
