Background The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes–Stuttering/Child (POSHA-S/Child; Weidner & St. Louis, 2014 ) is a standard instrument designed to measure the attitudes of children as young as 3 years of age toward stuttering. With preschool and early elementary school–aged children, the POSHA-S/Child is administered individually and face-to-face by an examiner. Older children who are satisfactory readers could be expected to respond to the instrument online, an increasingly popular mode of administering surveys. Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare administration of the POSHA-S/Child in face-to-face versus online administration. Method Children primarily from 1 elementary school and children from other areas in the region responded to the POSHA-S/Child in either a face-to-face individual setting or online. Three grade levels were included: 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade. Results POSHA-S/Child ratings for individual items, components, subscores, and the Overall Stuttering Scores from the 2 modes of administration were similar. Conclusion With satisfactory reading abilities, children aged 9 years and older can be administered the POSHA-S/Child online with similar results as face-to-face administration.

Children’S Exposure

The responses of 632 Michigan residents to a public opinion survey showed that the respondents thought that children’s exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is damaging to children but that mothers who seek outside help should not lose custody of their children. Two thirds believed that mothers who are victimized by IPV more than once and do not immediately find a way to stop the violence are neglectful. The findings suggest the need for education about ways to support children without holding mothers to unreasonable expectations.

Female Clergy

This chapter returns to the public opinion survey data to examine the same question as the previous chapter but from a quantitative perspective. In general, the evidence shows that the presence of female clergy, policies regarding female clergy, and lay female leadership in congregations matter in terms of people’s level of religiosity, spirituality, and trust in and identification with their congregations. These effects, though, are more modest than often asserted: women in congregations with the strongest degree of female leadership have levels of religiosity—about 13% higher than women in congregations with the maximum amount of male leadership. The evidence also shows that sharing leadership equally between men and women would produce similar results. Most interestingly, we find that the effects are found not only among women but especially among political and theological progressives.

Yielding Support

The bulk of the public opinion research on immigration identifies the factors leading to opposition to immigration. In contrast, we focus on a previously unexplored factor yielding support for immigration: humanitarianism. Relying upon secondary analysis of national public opinion survey data and an original survey experiment, we demonstrate that humanitarian concern significantly decreases support for restrictive immigration policy. Results from our survey experiment demonstrate that in an information environment evoking both threat and countervailing humanitarian concern regarding immigration, the latter can and does override the former. Last, our results point to the importance of individual differences in empathy in moderating the effects of both threat and humanitarian inducements.

The Public

This chapter proffers a political science perspective on how Americans view the ways in which genetics affect identity. It lays the groundwork for exploring possible relationships in the eyes of the public between genetics and race, by developing hypotheses based mainly on extrapolations from popular media or American history. Next the chapter introduces a 2011 public opinion survey of approximately 4,000 US adults. The Genomics Knowledge, Attitudes, and Politics Survey includes questions designed to reveal Americans' views about the importance of genetics in explaining various traits, behaviors, and diseases. The chapter then shows that respondents' understanding of the relationships among race, genes, and phenotypes is coherent and sensible (regardless of whether it is right or wrong).

The Impact

Do economic sanctions turn the public against the target government or cause it to rally around the flag? How do sanctions affect attitudes toward the sanctioner? How does bad economic performance under sanctions shape support for the target government? Despite their importance, these questions have rarely been explored with survey data. Results from two surveys in Russia find that exposure to information about economic sanctions does not generate a rally around the flag, leads some groups to withdraw support from the target government, and reduces support for the sanctioner. Respondents also react more strongly to the reasons why sanctions were put in place—the annexation of Crimea—than to the sanctions themselves. These results suggest the need to reevaluate theories of the impact of economic sanctions and blame-shifting under autocracy.
