Television crime drama program viewing and O J Simpson bias: Applying the cultivation theory
No full textAccording to media critics, no criminal event has ever received as much publicity as the O. J. Simpson double murder case. The purpose of conducting this research was to apply the cultivation analysis theory to the O. J. Simpson case to see if heavy daily television viewers, heavy viewers of crime drama programs both realistic and fictional, and heavy newspaper and magazine readers expressed guilt against O. J. Simpson With the assistance from personnel at the Clark County Courthouse in Las Vegas, Nevada, the researcher administered 205 survey questionnaires to summoned jurors who were released from jury service. A negative correlation was found between heavy daily television viewing and belief in the likelihood that O. J. Simpson was guilty. A negative correlation was found between heavy viewing of realistic crime drama programs and belief in the likelihood that O. J. Simpson was violent with his former spouse Nicole. A positive correlation was found between heavy newspaper and magazine reading and belief in the likelihood that O. J. Simpson was guilty. The results for both television viewing variables were inconsistent with the cultivation theory since light television viewers tended to believe that O. J. Simpson was guilty. Conversely, results for the newspaper and magazine readers were consistent with the cultivation theory since heavy readers tended to believe that O. J. Simpson was guilty

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
Social learning theory and intimate partner violence: Time series analysis of the effects of the O. J. Simpson case
No full textIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive problem in the United States that disproportionately victimizes women. The O. J. Simpson criminal trial, which had IPV as its focus, was a recent event that attracted a great deal of media attention. Examination of IPV reports for the duration of the trial provided the opportunity to examine the effects of a highly-publicized event on societal trends of domestic violence. Social learning theory would predict that rates of IPV may be influenced by media events wherein a model is rewarded or punished for performing an aggressive behavior. More specifically, to the extent that the model was similar to the perpetrator, the perpetrator would be less likely to engage in more imitation of the model. Model and target similarity were operationalized in terms of White or Black race. Five series were developed for analysis: one series derived from the total sample, and four series derived from the subsamples representing the four race combinations of perpetrator and victim. Interrupted time series analysis of these series indicated that, in general, rates of IPV did not decrease during O. J. Simpson\u27s criminal trial. In fact, rates of IPV perpetrated by Black men against White partners increased during that period. Moreover, ancillary analyses reveal that IPV rates varied as a significant inverse function of media coverage of the O. J. Simpson case, but only for partner violence perpetrated by Black men against White partners. Implications for these findings are discussed
