According to moral foundations theory ( H aidt & J oseph, 2004), five are central intuition. The two individualizing foundations—harm/care and fairness/reciprocity—hinge on the rights of individual, whereas three binding foundations—in‐group/loyalty, authority/respect, purity/sanctity—focus communal bonds. Recent work suggests that reliance various varies as a function sociopolitical orientation: liberals consistently rely foundations, conservatives both foundations. In an effort further...

Scholars have documented numerous examples of how liberals and conservatives differ in considering public policy. Recent work political psychology has sought to understand these differences by detailing the ways which approach social issues. In their moral foundations theory , Haidt Joseph contend divisions between are rooted different views morality. They demonstrate that humans consistently rely on five foundations. Two foundations—harm fairness—are often labeled individualizing...
We examine whether two general dimensions of sociopolitical belief—right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO)—are rooted in insecure psychological attachment. Based on an undergraduate sample ( N = 255), we model the relations among attachment styles, worldviews, RWA, SDO. A structural equation indicated that anxious led to RWA but not SDO this effect was mediated by belief world is a dangerous place. In contrast, avoidant uncaring, competitive jungle which...
As female candidates may face greater challenges in establishing their “qualifications” for office, coverage of personal traits be pernicious, because it tends to de-emphasize substantive qualifications. This study focuses on relative amounts trait and issue contests with without women candidates. We find that races yield more than male versus are less likely generate coverage. Candidate gender office interact; gubernatorial most garner least engender
Repeated cross‐sectional (RCS) designs are distinguishable from true panels and pooled time series (PCSTS) since units (e.g., individual survey respondents) appear but once in the data. This poses two serious challenges. First, as with PCSTS, autocorrelation threatens inferences. However, common solutions like differencing using a lagged dependent variable not possible RCS lags for i cannot be used. Second, although contain information that allows both aggregate‐ individual‐level analyses,...
Religion occupies a central role in American politics. From being an impetus behind numerous political movements, to shaping how candidates are considered, scholars and pundits alike have emphasized the of religion for behavior attitudes. Yet, there has been scarcity empirical work examining consequences religious appeals campaigns. Drawing on recent that contends views about traditionalism replaced many interdenominational differences vote choice issue attitudes, we argue cues activate...
Past research indicates that diversity at the level of larger geographic units (e.g., counties) is linked to white racial hostility. However, has not addressed whether diverse local contexts may strengthen or weaken relationship between stereotypes and policy attitudes. In a statewide opinion survey, we find black‐white zip‐code strengthens connection race‐related attitudes among whites. Moreover, this effect most pronounced low self‐monitors, individuals who are relatively immune effects...
Background Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes high fever, rash, and recurrent arthritis in humans. It has efficiently adapted to Aedes albopictus, which also inhabits temperate regions, including Europe the United States of America. In past, CHIKV mainly affected developing countries, but recently caused large outbreaks Caribbean Latin No treatment or licensed vaccine exists. Methodology/Principal Findings Here, we have identified determinants...
Respiration chambers are considered the reference method for quantifying daily CH4 production rate (MPR) and CO2 (CPR) of cattle; however, they expensive, labor intensive, cannot be used in environment, can to assess only a limited number animals. Alternative methods now available, including those that provide multiple short-term measures CO2, such as GreenFeed Emission Monitoring (GEM) system. This study was conducted information optimizing test procedures estimating MPR CPR cattle from...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Total abdominal colectomy (TAC) with a staged ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is common surgical treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC). However, significant percentage of patients experience pouch failure, leading to morbidity. This retrospective case-control study identified histopathological features the TAC specimen associated failure and investigated molecular mechanisms this susceptibility using single-cell spatial transcriptomics. METHODS: We analyzed cohort...
Abstract The Socially Mediated Internet Survey (SMIS) method is a cost-effective technique used to obtain web-based, adult samples for experimental research in political science. SMIS engages central figures online social networks help recruit participants among visitors these websites, yielding sizable research. We present data from six collected using the and compare them those gathered by other sampling approaches such as Amazon's Mechanical Turk. While not representative of general...
Objective Group identity is a central concept in many social science disciplines. We investigate why people identify with groups and show favoritism to in‐group members. anticipate group identifications are substantially influenced by genes environments, likely working through stable personality traits. Methods Using twin study data from the National Survey of Midlife Development United States ( MIDUS I ), we heritability identification favoritism, as well extent which genetic bases these...

We investigated seroprevalence CHIKV infection 379 serum samples patients fever outpatient clinics three hospitals eastern and central Sudan. The was 1.8%, indicating that are rare these parts As vector Aedes aegypti endemic this area, at risk for a epidemic.
