The interplay of modern myths about sexual aggression and moral foundations in the blaming of rape victims
No full textMilesi P, Süssenbach P, Bohner G, Megias JL. The interplay of modern myths about sexual aggression and moral foundations in the blaming of rape victims. European Journal of Social Psychology. 2020;50(1):111-123.Moral Foundations Theory proposes five intuition-based moral concerns: Care and Fairness ("individualizing foundations") as well as Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity ("binding foundations"). In studies carried out in Italy, Spain, and Germany, the authors examined how these concerns are associated with the acceptance of modern myths about sexual aggression (AMMSA), and how both jointly predict rape victim blaming. Overall, victim blaming was positively predicted by Authority and Sanctity, and negatively predicted by Care and Fairness. Although victim blaming was best predicted by AMMSA, moral concerns also contributed to its prediction, partly independently, partly mediated through AMMSA, and in the case of Sanctity in interaction with AMMSA. Discussion highlights how integrating moral foundations in the investigation of victim blaming and AMMSA across different cultural contexts may deepen our understanding of why, in each cultural context, victim blaming and related beliefs are resistant to change
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Gender Bias in the Evaluation of Application Letters: The Interplay of Gender Stereotypicality, Argument Structure, and Linguistic Features
No full textPer esaminare quali fattori interagiscono nel causare una diversa percentuale di donne e uomini in alcuni settori lavorativi, mi sono concentrata sugli effetti della manipolazione del linguaggio di tratti e debolezze che descrivono candidati stereotipici o controstereotipici sulla valutazione finale dei candidati. A tal fine, ho condotto tre studi pilota e tre studi principali. Questi effetti sono stati testati considerando anche l'effetto del processo cognitivo dei partecipanti e delle caratteristiche interne (es. bias di genere, attitudini verso le donne, comunion e agency dei partecipanti), che sono stati integrati in un nuovo path model che è stato testato nei tre studi. I risultati hanno mostrato che la manipolazione del linguaggio in cui sono state presentate le informazioni sui tratti e sulle debolezze ha aiutato solo i candidati donna a migliorare la propria valutazione: le donne controstereotipiche descritte concretamente, così come le donne stereotipiche descritte in modo astratto hanno ottenuto un giudizio più favorevole rispetto agli uomini. Il path model ha rivelato che l'onestà percepita dei candidati svolge un ruolo mediatore nella relazione delle caratteristiche interne dei partecipanti e la valutazione dei candidati.To examine which factors act together in causing unbalanced percentage of women and men in different job sectors, I focused on the effects of the manipulation of the language in which stereotypical or counterstereotypical applicants’ traits and weaknesses are presented on the evaluation of female and male target applicants. To this end, I conducted three pilot studies and three studies. These effects were tested while considering also the effect of participants’ cognitive process and internal characteristics (e.g., gender bias, attitudes toward women, self-reported communion, and agency), which were integrated into a new path model that was performed along with the three studies. Results showed that manipulating language in which information on traits and weaknesses was presented helped only female applicants to increase their evaluation: Counterstereotypical women concretely described, as well as stereotypical women abstractly described gain more positive evaluation than men. The final path model revealed the perceived honesty of applicants plays the mediating role in the relation of some participants’ internal characteristics with the evaluation of applicants. Theoretical and practical implication have been discussed
