Hall, Thad | Are Americans confident their ballots are counted? | Expanding the large literature which investigates the characteristics of citizen and voter trust in government we analyze the heretofore neglected topic of voter trust in the electoral process. In this paper, we present results from three national surveys in which we asked voters the confidence they... | Election reform; Public management; Principal-Agent Theory | 2006-07-20 |

McElreath, Richard | Are peasants risk-averse decision makers? | For decades, researchers studying small-scale, subsistence-oriented farmers have sought to explain why these "peasants" seem slow to acquire new technologies, novel agricultural practices, and new ideas from the larger societies that have engulfed them. The early work on this question suggested that... | Subsistance farmers; Risk-aversion; Risk-taking; Cultural conservatism; Cost-benefit analysis | 2002 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Ascertainment bias for non-twin relatives in twin proband studies | When families are ascertained through affected twins, as for example when twin probands are selected from a registry and their non-twin relatives studied, a correction for ascertainment bias is needed. It is shown that probandwise counting (where relatives of doubly ascertained twin pairs are counte... | Genetic; Transmission; Models | 1982 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Ascertainment bias in estimates of average heterozygosity | Population geneticists work with a nonrandom sample of the human genome. Conventional practice ensures that unusually variable loci are most likely to be discovered and thus included in the sample of loci. Consequently, estimates of average heterozygosity are biased upward. In what follows we descri... | Bias (Epidemiology); Biometry; Heterozygote | 1996-05 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Assignment of relationship terms in Binumarien | Kinship systems have a perennial fascination. From Morgan's day to the present, a long succession of authors have produced their diagrams and algebraic explanations . . . Kinship terminology and its diagramatic arrangements provide, ready made, a delightful series of mathematical abstractions and it... | Binumarien; Binumariens | 1977 |

Yu, Zhou | Assimilation and Rising Taiwanese Identity: Taiwan-born Immigrants in the United States, 1990-2000 | This study examines why a growing percentage of Taiwan-born immigrants in the U.S. have identified themselves as Taiwanese rather than ethnic Chinese in the U.S. decennial censuses between 1990 and 2000. The trend appears inconsistent with the assimilation theory, which postulates that ethnic groups... | Taiwanese; immigration; identity; economic status; United States | 2009-06-01 |

Smith, Ken R. | The association between adult mortality risk and family history of longevity: the moderating effects of socioeconomic status | Studies consistently show that increasing levels of socioeconomic status (SES) and having a familial history of longevity reduce the risk of mortality. But do these two variables interact, such that individuals with lower levels of SES, for example, may experience an attenuated longevity penalty by ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Smith, Ken R. | Association of physical and behavioral characteristics with menstrual cycle patterns in women age 29-31 years | We examined the association between menstrual cycle characteristics(cycle length, variability, and bleeding length) and physical and behavioral attributes in 766 women age 29-31 years. Menstrual cycled at a were prospectively recorded as part of the Menstruation and Reproductive History Study of col... | | 1996 |

Diener, Marissa L.; Wright, Cheryl | Attachment security among mothers and their young children living in poverty: associations with maternal, child, and contextual characteristics | In order to extend previous research and inform intervention programs, the goal of the present study was to further understand variability in mother-child attachment security among high-risk families living in poverty. Mothers (65% Hispanic) and their young children who were in a home visitor progr... | Attachment security | 2003 |

McDaniel, Susan | Becoming inventors: women who aspire to invent | Despite growing awareness of women's contributions to technological advances in the past, almost nothing is known about contemporary women inventors and the challenges they face. Although greater attention has been given recently to women's contributions to technology and innovation, understanding... | Inventions; Inventing; Technology | 1990 |

Codding, Brian | Behavioral ecology and the future of archaeological science | The future of archaeological science relies as much (if not more) on theoretical as on methodological developments. As with anything in biology, explaining past human behavior will require the application of evolutionary theory. As with anything in archaeology, theory is useless without clear ties t... | | 2015-01-01 |

Drews, Frank; Bermudez, Julio Cesar; Agutter, James A.; Foresti, Stefano A.; Westenskow, Dwayne R.; Syroid, Noah Daniel; Tashjian, Elizabeth | Between art, science and technology: data representation architecture | As our civilization continues to dive deeper into the information age, making sense of complex data becomes critical. This work takes on this challenge by means of a novel method based on complete interdisciplinarity, design process and built-in evaluations. The result is the design, construction, ... | Data representation; Visualization design; Data environments | 2005 |

Wei, Y. H. Dennis | Beyond new regionalism, beyond global production networks: remaking the Sunan model, China | This paper attempts to advance the research on globalization and regional development in China through a study of Kunshan City. We investigate the restructuring process, the structure of FDI, and the nature of global-local networks to understand trajectories and models of regional development in the... | | 2010 |

Smith, Ken R. | Biased estimation in policy research: an illustrative example of ridge regression in a health system model | The paper develops an argument for the necessity of examining individual coefficients in policy models. As a result of this need, it is posited that something other than OLS estimators should be used since they are inflated and have extremely large variances when multicollinearity is present. Furthe... | Policy models; Health systems; Ridge regression | 1980 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Binumarien color categories | This paper has two aims. The first is to describe an ethnographically new system of color classification, Binumarien, a non-Austronesian or Papuan language of the Eastern Central Highlands of New Guinea2. In this connection we are particularly interested in relating our data to the Berlin and Kay (1... | Binumarien; Binumariens | 1975 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Biochemical heterozygosity and morphologic variation in a colony of papio hamadryas hamadryas baboons | This analysis examines the association between genetic heterozygosity and individual morphologic variation in a captive population of Papio hamadryas hamadryas consisting of 403 juveniles and adults. The population structure of the colony was artificially generated and maintained and is thus rigoro... | Population genetics; Polygenic; Inbreeding | 1994 |

McDaniel, Susan | Born at the right time?: gendered generations and webs of entitlement and responsibility | Analyses of social change and challenge in sociologies for women often start with some attention to generation. Yet, generation per se has been an underconceptualized sociological construct as a structural dimension of stratification, particularly gender stratification, or as a lens through which... | Generation; Gender; Women | 2001 |

McElreath, Richard | Can females gain additional paternal investment by mating with multiple males? a game theoretic approach | Although females may require only one mating to become inseminated, many female animals engage in costly mating with multiple males. One potential benefit of polyandrous mating is gaining parental investment from multiple males. We developed two game theoretic models to explore this possibility.

Friedrich, Frances | Capacity demands of automatic processes in semantic priming | In three experiments, we examined the effects of prime-target stimulus onset asynchrony (SSA) and the proportion of related primes and targets (relatedness proportion, or RP) on semantic priming when the prime was either named or was searched for a specific letter . In Experiment 1, with an RP of .... | Semantic priming; Stimulus onset asynchrony | 1994 |
