Reassessing Racial Differences in Authoritarianism in the United States: Measurement Invariance and Group Comparisons using the ANES Child-Rearing Values Scale
Public Opinion Quarterly. 2026. P. 1–18.
Measurement invariance is a necessary condition for meaningful comparisons across populations. Previous studies argue that authoritarianism between Blacks and Whites in the United States cannot be compared due to the lack of measurement invariance in the American National Election Studies child-rearing values index. This paper challenges this claim. I analyze ANES data from 1992 to 2016 and identify partial measurement invariance in the 1992–2008 surveys (only one item, respect for elders, displays differential item functioning across groups) and full invariance in the 2012 and 2016 data. It is demonstrated that the child-rearing scale is comparable across Black and White respondents once partial measurement invariance is modeled accordingly, and that group comparisons are methodologically sound. I advanced a hypothesis for the non-invariance of respect for elders and suggest that future work should use measurement models that accommodate differential item functioning and further develop the child-rearing scale.

Background:
Delay discounting refers to the tendency to choose sooner, smaller rewards over larger, later rewards. Many previous studies link this tendency positively to reward sensitivity, yet the specific mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. Reward sensitivity may relate to delay discounting through at least three possible pathways: increased sensitivity to reward size, increased sensitivity ...

Статья посвящена изучению связи соотношения доходов родителей в нуклеарных семьях со временем родительского труда в России. Также обсуждаются другие факторы, объясняющие временные затраты на родительский труд: характеристики родителей (пол, возраст, образование, занятость, наличие инвалидности), характеристики детей (общее число детей, возраст младшего ребенка, наличие инвалидности), средний доход на члена домохозяйства, тип населенного пункта, а также тип ...

Стратегическая стабильность – понятие, рожденное в ходе Холодной войны в условиях противостояния двух ядерных сверхдержав. В те годы оно обозначало ситуацию, которая исключала возможность одержать победу над противником путем нанесения по нему массированного ядерного удара.
С тех пор ситуация в мире существенно изменилась. Исчез спасительный страх перед возможностью ядерной войны. Ядерное сдерживание, которое лежало в основе ...

Functional literacy—the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework—is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside Western populations. The present study addresses this ...

Menstrual health serves as a critical litmus test for state intervention in contexts where women’s bodily experiences are historically shaped by stigma, cultural taboos, and structural violence. Drawing on Joseph Gusfield’s theory of social problems, this review traces the moral passage of menstruation in Ghana (1992–2025) from a privately managed, stigmatized phenomenon to a matter ...

Introduction:
As cities continue to grow, access to natural environments is becoming more limited, contributing to increased stress levels in urban populations. Panoramic 360° videos provide a creative and scalable means of simulating natural environments, potentially reducing stress in city residents under controlled settings. Here, we examined whether short immersive experiences in different urban environments support ...

Letter recognition is assumed to involve several levels of analysis, including coarse tuning for category and novelty and more fine tuning for specific features, related to letter orientation. We employed an oddball fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) paradigm with magnetoencephalography (Elekta VectorView, 306 sensors) to study neural discrimination responses in the source space. Using contrasts ...

The population dynamics of settlements are determined by many different factors, including, as
research shows, the availability of educational and healthcare facilities (i.e., basic social infrastructure) close
to home. One can assume a two-way relationship: a decrease in population entails a reduction in the number
of assigned students in schools and healthcare institutions and, as a result, the ...

High-dimensional tabular data are common in biomedical and clinical research, yet conventional machine learning methods often struggle in such settings due to data scarcity, feature redundancy, and limited generalization. In this study, we systematically evaluate Synolitic Graph Neural Networks (SGNNs), a framework that transforms high-dimensional samples into sample-specific graphs by training ensembles of low-dimensional pairwise ...
