Development Of Attitudes

This study replicated and extended the family socialization model of development of attitudes toward unions. Previous tests of this model were conducted using Canadian samples, and this study used a sample from the United States. The results were generally supportive of the model, although the magnitude of the correlations was much smaller. Contrary to expectations, only Marxist beliefs about work were significantly related to general attitude about unions, while Humanistic beliefs about work and Protestant Work Ethic were not.

Interpersonal Discrimination

We investigate the frequency and psychological correlates of institutional and interpersonal discrimination reported by underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese I, and obese II/III Americans. Analyses use data from the Midlife Development in the United States study, a national survey of more than 3,000 adults ages 25 to 74 in 1995. Compared to normal weight persons, obese II/III persons (body mass index of 35 or higher) are more likely to report institutional and day-to-day interpersonal discrimination. Among obese II/III persons, professional workers are more likely than nonprofessionals to report employment discrimination and interpersonal mistreatment. Obese II/III persons report lower levels of self-acceptance than normal weight persons, yet this relationship is fully mediated by the perception that one has been discriminated against due to body weight or physical appearance. Our findings offer further support for the pervasive stigma of obesity and the negative implications of stigmatized identities for life chances.

Political Tactics

Chapter 2, Entitlement’s Cruel Cousins, surveys the psychological correlates of entitlement. What attitudes coincide with entitlement that perpetuate inequality? For example, entitlement is associated with overconfidence and immodesty. Entitlement is also associated with individualism and the belief in the myth of meritocracy. From poverty to sexual assault, those who value individualism and meritocracy tend to see bad things happening to people as their own fault. Entitlement is linked to narcissism as well. Finally, entitlement is also correlated with dangerous worldviews such as authoritarianism and social dominance orientation—both of which are necessary to examine given trends toward increased authoritarian political tactics in the United States and globally.

Methodological Approaches

Juvenile delinquency is generally considered to be one of present-day society's most serious problems. Indeed, more than half of all serious crimes in the United States are committed by youths under 18 years of age (3). Despite its magnitude and prevalence, juvenile delinquency is still inadequately defined, much less understood, partly because of its having only lately been recognized as a distinct practical problem and thus a fit matter for investigation. Over the past four decades, however, there has been an increasingly active study of the problem, focusing on the delinquent youths themselves and, more recently, on the environment in which they have developed. Methodological approaches to the question of definition and causality of delinquency have been diverse, but can be considered as being of two general types: the deductive-theoretical, in which a stated hypothesis is critically examined in the light of clinical experience as illustrated by clinical material; and, the inductive-empirical approach, in which a body of data, e.g., the environmental factors found in delinquents, is analysed, and conesions are drawn, based on the results of that aysis.

Community Directive

Following significant intelligence failures, the United States intelligence community adopted Intelligence Community Directive 203 (ICD203) to promote analytic rigor. This study developed two reliable psychometric scales to examine how strongly intelligence professionals (N=108) endorsed the ICD203 facets and the extent to which they believed their organizations complied with those facets. All facets yielded a high level of endorsement and perceived organizational compliance and the endorsement scale revealed three principal components (“unbiased”, “rigorous”, and “relevant”). Facets reflecting intelligence aims (e.g., “be unbiased”) were endorsed more strongly than those reflecting means (e.g., “use visualizations”). As well, organizations’ compliance was judged to fall short of the level of support personally endorsed. ICD203 endorsement was positively related to conscientious and actively open-minded thinking, whereas perceived ICD203 compliance was positively correlated with conscientiousness, job satisfaction and affective and normative commitment. The new scales could be profitably applied in future research on intelligence policy-related issues.
