Replication data for: Does Descriptive Representation Facilitate Women's Distinctive Voice? How Gender Composition and Decision Rules Affect Deliberation
No full textDoes low descriptive representation inhibit substantive representation for women in deliberating groups? We address this question, but also ask if the effects of descriptive representation depend on the decision rule. We conducted an experiment on distributive decisions, randomizing the group’s gender composition and decision rule, including many groups, and linking individuals’ pre-deliberation attitudes to their speech and to post-deliberation decisions. Women’s descriptive representation does produce substantive representation, but primarily under majority rule – when women are many, they are more likely to voice women’s distinctive concerns about children, family, the poor and the needy, and less likely to voice men’s distinctive concerns. Men’s references shift similarly with women’s numerical status. These effects are associated with more generosity to the poor. Unanimous rule protects women in the numerical minority, mitigating some of the negative effects of low descriptive representation. Descriptive representation matters, but in interaction with the decision rule

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
Political socialization
No full textPolitical psychology serves as the cornerstone of political socialization, shedding light on the fundamental mechanisms that drive this complex process; and providing a key to understanding its many different aspects. Beginning with an exploration of the concept of party identification, we examine the interconnectedness of political psychology and socialization. We consider the different models of learning that underpin theories of socialization and the contexts and agents of socialization including families, households, and schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and the media. We highlight a number of areas of innovation, such as geocoded data, information from social media, the combination of different data sources, and the possibilities for new, more interdisciplinary studies to political socialization
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Innovations in the study of elite behavior: the role of information in representation and decision-making
No full textThe study of elite behavior grew remarkably in the last decades. We discuss the main tools that allowed this growth—survey, experiments, audit studies, text-as-data methods—and describe how they advanced our understanding of elite decision-making. However, recent scholarship has often disregarded the role of institutions. We posit that the next innovations in this field will bring institutions back into the study of elite behavior. We illustrate our argument through the literature on information and decision-making
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
