摘要:

One of the most consistent findings reported in the public opinion literature is that women are more opposed to nuclear power than men. This research uses data from two widely cited Harris surveys on nuclear power which were conducted in 1975 and 1976 to test a number of hypotheses based on competing explanations for the sex difference.The results support the position that it is a greater concern about safety which explains women's lesser support for nuclear power. Compared with men, women are found to believe that nuclear plants are less safe and to evaluate a number of problems of nuclear power as more serious, particularly those involving danger to health and human life. These differences are found to account for the sex difference in support for nuclear power both in general and in the respondents' local communities.

摘要:

The timing and sequencing of events marking the transition to adulthood have become the focus of a growing body of research. Recently, the concept of social norm has been used to provide an explanation for observed regularity in the process of transition to adulthood, and the degree of conformity to social norms governing the transition has been hypothesized to have consequences for individuals in adulthood. In this paper it is argued that the concept of social norm has limited usefulness as an explanation of behavior marking the transition to adulthood or as an explanation of its consequences. It is argued further that previous use of the concept in empirical research has been misleading because the research has not measured social norms.

摘要:

While it is known that the majority of women with premarital births will eventually marry, very little is known about the amount of time they wait before marriage. Similarly, virtually nothing is known about factors associated with the rapidity with which women make this transition. This paper presents estimates of the time elapsed between premarital birth and subsequent marriage using data from the 1973 National Survey of Family Growth. The pace of this transition is also modeled, separately for blacks and whites, using proportional hazards models. Results indicate that blacks are slower in marrying than are whites and that the models associated with the two races are very different.
