The Influence of Religious Involvement of Turkish Migrants in the Netherlands on Their Political Participation: The Role of Group Identity and Perceived Discrimination
Full text linkThe aim of this study is to research to what extent religious involvement of Turkish migrants in the Netherlands affects their readiness to vote and whether this effect can be explained by group identity and perceived discrimination. Firstly, two aspects of religious involvement are investigated, namely mosque attendance and membership of a religious organization. It is hypothesized that both types of religious involvement have a positive effect on readiness to vote. Secondly, the mediating influence of two types of group identity is examined, namely Muslim and Turkish identity, and perceived discrimination is measured on the personal level. Furthermore, progressive and traditional norms and values and group discrimination were also included in the theoretical framework, however, these mediators could not be tested. The first wave of the NELLS dataset (2009) is analyzed using a mediation model. Firstly, the results show that religious involvement of Turkish migrants positively impacts their readiness to vote. Active involvement, i.e. membership of a religious organization, plays a larger role than passive involvement, i.e. mosque attendance. Secondly, none of the mediators explain the relationship between religious involvement and readiness to vote. Therefore, future research should include more mediators, such as progressive and traditional norms and values and group discrimination. Moreover, future studies should focus on the different Islamic branches and other active forms of religious involvement, and use a larger and more representative sample
Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion across Ethnic Groups in Rotterdam
Full text linkThis study examines the effects of neighbourhood ethnic diversity on the experiences of social cohesion for the different ethnic groups living in Rotterdam. While previous literature has demonstrated that higher levels of ethnic diversity generally lead to lower levels of social cohesion, this relationship had rarely been studied across different ethnic groups. This theoretical caveat was studied by applying linear regression analyses to the Neighbourhood Profile survey data (N=11739). It was found that native Rotterdam citizens and ethnic groups who arrived in the city relatively recently experienced equally strong, negative effects of ethnic diversity on their perceived levels of social cohesion. In contrast, traditional ethnic groups were generally found to only experience small negative effects, with certain ethnicities even seeing positive effects of ethnic diversity on their experience of social cohesion. This thesis thus demonstrates that while ethnic diversity often leads to more negative experiences of social cohesion, this is not a given. Future research should explore the ways in which ethnic diversity may positively contribute to inter-group interactions within neighbourhoods and cities
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
