The Impact of Gynecologists’ Conscientious Objection on Abortion Access
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: Social Science ResearchAuthor(s): Tommaso Autorino, Francesco Mattioli, Letizia MencariniAbstractAlthough abortion in Italy is free of charge and legal in a broad set of circumstances, 71% of gynecologists are registered as conscientious objectors, i.e. they are exempted from performing abortions for reasons of religious or moral beliefs. To assess whether this practice limits abortion access, we analyze aggregate regional data on abortion and a dataset of over one million clinical records of single interventions performed between 2002 and 2016. Results, from both c...

The Institutionalization of Part-Time Work: Cross-National Differences in the Relationship between Part-Time Work and Perceived Insecurity
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2019Source: Social Science ResearchAuthor(s): Andrew S. Fullerton, Jeffrey C. Dixon, Destinee B. McCollumAbstractWe propose an institutionalization of part-time work model to account for the cross-national variation in workers’ perceptions of insecurity in their jobs and in the labor market, arguing that part-time work is institutionalized as high quality or marginal employment depending on the extent to which it is voluntary, gendered, and legally protected. Using heterogeneous choice models on 2005 ISSP data linked to country-level characteristics, we find that the relatio...

Negative Ability Bias from Conditioning on a Confounded Mediator: A Directed Interaction Test and Case Study
Publication date: Available online 24 December 2019Source: Social Science ResearchAuthor(s): Ling Zhu, Tony TamABSTRACTSociologists increasingly recognize the problem of endogenous selection bias in mediation analysis. Building on a sub-model of Elwert and Winship (2014), we propose that a widely-overlooked endogenous selection bias exists in the form of a negative ability bias in sociological models of economic outcomes where job attributes are often included as mediators but confounded by unobserved abilities. We use simulations to show that the bias size increases with collider selectivity under common modeling assumpti...

The dual contingencies of ethnoraciality: Status-context disparities in health information sources among sexual minorities
This study examines whether the ethnoracial context of the residential area where sexual minorities live is associated with a particular health (care) belief – sources of trustworthy health information – and considers how ethnoracial group membership status differentiates these ecological associations drawing on mediation and moderation models. Using data from the 2010 Social Justice Sexuality Project, our analysis shows that sexual minorities who live with high concentrations of Latinos and Whites are less likely to rely exclusively on medical professionals for trustworthy health information than those who live with h...

Economic conditions and native-immigrant asymmetries in generalized social trust
This study examines how individual and contextual economic conditions impact such trust gaps. We argue that—beyond objective economic circumstances—evaluations of economic opportunities matter for immigrants’ integration, and for their social trust. Using data from the European Social Survey 2012, 2016, merged with regional economic conditions, results from two-way fixed effects multilevel models show that gaps in social trust are wider in regions where the state of the economy is predominantly evaluated as being prosperous. Additional tests show that, in those regions, immigrants report higher levels of discriminati...

The ‘developmental gradient’ revisited: Australian children's time with adult caregivers from infancy to middle childhood
Publication date: Available online 25 November 2019Source: Social Science ResearchAuthor(s): Martin O'Flaherty, Janeen BaxterAbstractChildren's time use patterns represent a potentially important mechanism for the transmission of disadvantage across generations. Recent international research indicates that more educated mothers tailor the content of time with children to favour activities that are particularly important at different developmental stages – a finding that has been termed the ‘developmental gradient’. Using time diary data for a sample of Australian children, this paper seeks to extend previous work in ...

Churning races in Canada: Visible minority response change between 2006 and 2011
Publication date: Available online 25 November 2019Source: Social Science ResearchAuthor(s): Carolyn A. Liebler, Feng HouAbstractWhy do most people have stable responses to census race questions, while some do not? Using linked Canadian data, we examine personal, social, and economic characteristics that predict response stability as White or as one of six large visible minority groups, versus a change in response to/from White or to/from another visible minority group. Response change rates in Canada are generally comparable to those in the US, UK, and New Zealand. Likely reflecting the centuries-old hegemony of Whites in...
