Pubertal Development, Choice of Friends, and Smoking Initiation among Adolescent Males

Prior research has indicated that pubertal development and peer associations are important determinants of adolescent smoking behavior. However, more remains to be learned about why these variables matter or how they may be related to one another in ways that lead to the initiation of smoking. Using contractual data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, we consider the relationship between early pubertal development and associations with close friends who smoke, and smoking initiation among male youths. The results of the study reveal a link between advanced pubertal development and the initiation of smoking among boys, but we discover that the effect is indirect, mediated by a greater propensity of sexually mature males to forge friendships with peers who smoke. We also find that this propensity is greatest among the youngest adolescents in the sample, suggesting that the age of the respondent conditions the effects of pubertal development on the formation of friendships with peers who smoke.(Ph.D., The University of Texas at Austin), is an Assistant Professor at Washington State University at Vancouver.

多数暴政新解——兼就《马克思主义视域中的“多数暴政”问题分析》一文与王俊拴先生商榷

密尔以自由为逻辑起点,对多数暴政问题展开论述,认为多数暴政是指世袭贵族和商业阶级运用国家制度和公共舆论对知识精英的一种侵害.其理论贡献在于对多数/少数的论述不自觉地区分了社会学意义上的多数/少数与数量上的多数/少数.社会学意义上的多数与少数之分以建立在对经济资源和政治资源的占有和控制基础之上的谈判实力作为衡量标准,其多数即在民主进程中拥有强大谈判实力的人.数量上的多数与少数之分以数量作为衡量标准,仅涉及数量上多寡的对比,其多数是指数量上的多数人. 两者的关系呈现2种可能一是两者具有重叠性;二是两者具有分离性.正确地区分社会学意义上的多数/少数与数量上的多数/少数的意义在于2个方面一是澄清理论上的误解;二是指导具体的政治实践.

The case of the missing victims: Gunshot woundings in the National Crime Survey

National Crime Survey (NCS) data yield an estimate that 171,000 Americans were nonfatally shot in criminal assaults, robberies, and rapes for the period 1973–1979. Comparing this estimate with the number of firearms homicides during this period suggests either that the death rate in gunshot cases is very high (over 1/3) or that the NCS estimate is low. Based on police-generated data appropriate to estimating the true death rate from gunshot wounds, it appears that the NCS estimate is low by a factor of about 3.0 compared with the number of criminal gunshot woundings known to the police. It is common knowledge that survey-based estimates of assault rates tend to be relatively unreliable, a fact that has been attributed to problems with respondents being willing and able to recall threats, fist fights, and other minor assaults. The current result indicates that the estimation problem is not limited to minor assaults. There is reason to think that the underestimate of gunshot woundings is the result of problems with the NCS sample as well as problems with respondent cooperation.
