The effects of majority size on minority influence
No full textTwo experiments investigated the role of majority size (social pressure) in minority influence. Opposite predictions were derived from an attributional account and two social impact models. In Experiment 1 there was a tendency for minority influence to decrease with increasing majority size when the minority argued against gay rights. The results were stronger and clearer in Experiment 2. For pro-abortion minorities, the minority's impact clearly declined as the size of the opposing majority increased. As predicted by the social impact models, this decline occurred during the initial increase of the majority size. The limitations of the mathematical models are discussed

No full textThree American Frontiers: Writings of Thomas D. Clark
Get PDFThe casual and the serious of American history—fiddlers, yarn spinners, and riverboat gamblers, politicians, educators, and social reformers—have all concerned Thomas D. Clark, celebrated historian of the Western frontier and the changing South. Three American Frontiers, a volume of his selected writings, draws from works produced throughout Clark\u27s long career as a writer, teacher, and lecturer on the frontier West, social change in the South, and the cutting-edge of historical research.
An avid researcher and a tenacious collector of original materials, Clark looks to the everyday items like the record book of a country store, the file of a small-town newspaper, or the diary of a young Gold Rusher for aids to the analysis of larger trends in history. Holman Hamilton conveys Clark\u27s unique approach to his material and his enthusiasm for the common man in America\u27s past.
Among the many books by Thomas Clark are The Rampaging Frontier, The Emerging South, and Pills, Petticoats and Plows.
Holman Hamilton was a reporter and columnist with the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette before receiving his Ph.D. in history from the University of Kentucky. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Fulbright Scholar, and professor of history at the University of Kentucky as well as President of the Kentucky Civil War Round Table and University Fellow. He was the author or editor of many books, including Three Kentucky Presidents and Prologue to Conflict.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1054/thumbnail.jp

Triariodes vittipennis Clark & Anderson 2019, new combination
No full textTriariodes vittipennis (Horn, 1893), new combination Fig. 1a, d, g Malacosoma vittipenne Horn 1893: 123 Exosoma vittipenne: Leng 1920: 298 Exora (Exora) vittipennis: Weise 1924: 99 Triarius vittipennis: Wilcox 1965: 167 Diagnosis. The vittate elytra (Fig. 1a), in combination with the appendiculate tarsal claws, distinguish this species from others in the similar genus Triarius. The largely pale brown head and femora, and especially the distinctive aedeagus (Fig. 1g), easily distinguish this from the other known species of Triariodes. Type Material Examined. We examined two syntypes of M. vittipenne in the Horn Collection (MCZ). Both are female. One of them bears the following three labels: “Tex,” “ LectoType 3795,” and “ Malacosoma vittipenne Horn. ” It is not clear who added the lectotype label to the specimen, and, to our knowledge, a lectotype designation has never been published. In any case, this specimen is now designated as the lectotype for M. vittipenne. Type Locality. “ Occurs in southwestern Texas, precise region unknown.” (Horn 1893). Geographic Distribution. We examined specimens from Chaves and Eddy Counties in New Mexico, and from Brewster, Crockett, Culberson, El Paso, Jeff Davis, Presidio, Terrell, Uvalde, and Val Verde Counties in Texas. Also, we saw two old specimens labeled from Arizona (UMRM), but we doubt the authenticity of this record. Temporal Distribution. We saw adults collected from March to October. Plant Associations. This species is reported from Prosopis L. and flowers of Acacia angustissima var. hirta (Nutt.) B. L. Robbins (both Fabaceae); Condalia Cav. (Rhamnaceae); Fallugia paradoxa (D. Don) Endl. ex Torr. in Emory (Rosaceae); and Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. (Solanaceae) (Wilcox 1965; Goeden 1971; Ward et al. 1977; Clark et al. 2004). Beyond this, we examined specimens labeled as from blossoming Acacia greggii A. Gray (Fabaceae). Comments. Beyond the type material mentioned above, we examined 390 other specimens.Published as part of Clark, Shawn M. & Anderson, E. Russell, 2019, A Review Of Triarius Jacoby, 1887 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Luperini), With Descriptions Of A New Genus And Four New Species, pp. 343-357 in The Coleopterists Bulletin 73 (2) on pages 348-349, DOI: 10.1649/0010-065X-73.2.343, http://zenodo.org/record/344586
