The Monster Within: How Male Serial Killers Discursively Manage Their Stigmatized Identities     

Jayne R. Henson  Loreen N. Olson 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(3):341-364

Investigations of identity management regarding serial killers are sparse and rarely account for the communal discourse surrounding serial homicide. Such studies are essential to understanding the intersections of stigma and identity, particularly for the exploration of reframing that is severely limited for deviant populations. This interpretive study examined 13 interviews with serial killers to explore stigmatized identity management. The analysis revealed that male serial killers rejected their stigmatized identity by indicating a lack of control over their non-normal behavior or by justifying their actions. They also indicated that societal influences, such as previous traumatic experiences and communal discourse surrounding serial killing, influenced their identity management.  相似文献   

Investigating Personality and Viewing-Motivation Correlates of Reality Television Exposure     

Jennifer Stevens Aubrey  Loreen Olson  Mark Fine  Todd Hauser  David Rhea  Brian Kaylor 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(1):80-102

This study investigated the personality and viewing-motivation correlates of reality television exposure. Results from a survey of 592 undergraduates showed that extroversion negatively predicted reality television exposure, whereas neuroticism was not associated with it. Both instrumental (social interaction, information, and arousal) and ritualized (relaxation, pass time, entertainment, and companionship) viewing motivations positively predicted exposure to reality television. A two-stage model by which personality traits contributed to viewing motivations, which, in turn, contributed to the selection of reality television, was tested and offered an adequate fit to the data. Implications for uses and gratifications research are discussed.  相似文献   

Research Agendas and Computer Technology Visions: The Need for Closely Watched Classrooms     

Larry Miller  John Olson 《Education and Information Technologies》1999,4(1):81-98

There are numerous research methodologies that may be applied to the study of computer technology, and each has the potential to provide insights into its usefulness. The selection of research methodologies should be driven by the nature of the questions under investigation rather than a predetermined idea that some research methods are superior to others. This article focuses on a particular methodology, case studies, and it describes their potential for making a unique contribution to our understanding of computer technology. The special value of case studies lies in helping us understand the complexities found in classrooms, where the multiple variables that influence computer use interact in complex ways. © 1999 IFIP, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers  相似文献   

Gender Encoding in Gender Diverse and Gender Conforming Children     

Jessica J. Glazier  Selin Gülgöz  Kristina R. Olson 《Child development》2020,91(6):1877-1885

Previous research suggests that people encode gender starting in childhood. The present research asked whether gender diverse children (i.e., children whose gender identity or expression differs from that expected based on assigned sex) encode gender. Results showed that 3- to 5-year-old gender diverse participants (N = 71), siblings of gender diverse children (N = 52), and gender conforming controls (N = 69) did not significantly differ in degree of gender encoding. These results converge with prior research to suggest that gender diverse children process gender in ways that do not differ from gender conforming children, and provide further evidence that gender encoding may be a common aspect of person perception in societies that support a binary view of gender.  相似文献

Pictorial depth sensitivity in two-year-old children.     

R K Olson  S L Boswell 《Child development》1976,47(4):1175-1178

2-year-old children's pointing responses to the closer or farther of 2 pictured houses were consistently accurate when the depth information included either interposition or relative height in the picture plane. Picture-plane size was not an effective source of depth information. These results place the emergences of pictorial depth perception prior to 20 months of age for children with previous exposure to pictures.  相似文献   

Correcting Biased Cohen’s Kappa in NVivo     

Sang-Yeon Kim  Scott S. Graham  Seokhoon Ahn  Michele K. Olson  Daniel J. Card  Molly M. Kessler 《Communication methods and measures》2016,10(4):217-232

This study demonstrates that NVivo, a popular research tool for content analysis, produces biased Cohen’s kappa as it calculates the reliability statistic at the character level, which is unsuitable for most content-analytic studies adopting a higher unit of analysis (e.g., sentence, paragraph). Based on empirical data and a statistical simulation, this study proposes a method of bias correction applicable to situations where two independent raters conduct binary coding.  相似文献
