Fear of the "Alien Other": Cultural Anxiety and Opinions about Japan
In: Sociological inquiry: the quarterly journal of the International Sociology Honor Society, Band 71, Heft 3, S. 335-356
ISSN: 1475-682X
American public opinion toward Japan grew more negative coincident with 1980s "Japan‐bashing" media messages. Two theories of opinion formation provide explanations for this. Democratic representation theory understands opinions as rational responses to new information. Cultural interpretation theory holds that public opinion is based on one's receptiveness to media discourse. Opinion is neither a rational response to information nor the passive acceptance of elite dictates. People differentially interpret media messages and form opinions in a process that is shaped by media attentiveness and their subjective cultural anxieties. Survey data permit an indirect test of the two theories applied to anti‐Japan opinion. OLS regression analysis performed on GSS for four time periods reveals that anti‐Japan opinion is rooted less in "rational" responses to personal economic insecurity or fear of increased global competition than in racial attitudes and domestic social‐cultural concerns. America's negative opinion toward Japan in the 1990s is better understood as domestic anxieties that are redirected toward a symbolic target that the mass media has highlighted.

The Social and Political Context of Rape Law Reform: An Aggregate Analysis
In: Social science quarterly, Band 72, Heft 2, S. 221-238
ISSN: 0038-4941
An examination of state variations in rape law in the US, in a test of the hypothesis that rape law is a consequence of the political-cultural environment, & influenced by law-&-order & victims' rights groups. Regression analyses of six measures of reform reveal that feminist gender-related factors & political liberalism influence rape law reform to some extent, while law-&-order & victim's rights groups may play a larger role than has been acknowledged in social movement theories of rape law reform. 1 Table, 57 References.
