this article examines how home and land tenure shapes manufactured home (mh) residents’ access to financing and consumer protections. three tenure categories are explored: homeowners who own both home and land (own–own), homeowners who do not own land – often paying to rent it (own–rent) and home renters who also rent their land (rent–rent). a new nationally representative us survey sheds light on

laboratory sciences crucially depend on the cleanliness of experiments. but what is clean? in this article, we show that the salience of the valuation clean emerges through its relation to a particular ontological repertoire. our case is the xenonnt experiment in the gran sasso mountains of italy, designed to detect dark matter in the form of hypothetical wimps (weakly interacting massive particles)

predictive ai models increasingly guide high-stakes institutional decisions across domains from criminal justice to education to finance. a rich body of interdisciplinary scholarship has emerged examining the technical choices made during the creation of these systems. this article synthesizes this emerging literature for a sociology audience, mapping key decision points in predictive ai development

in this article, we explore infrastructures—human, epistemic, and material—that enable the creation of maps and the stories they tell about the world. we develop the concept of ‘cartographic infrastructures’ to reveal the hidden and fragile political, scientific, and social worlds that undergird the production of maps and the truths they bring into being. to illustrate this, we examine a series of

how can an occupation’s stigmatized core attributes be ameliorated? to address this issue, we examined the indian beauty salon occupation, which has long faced core occupational stigma due to physical, moral, caste-based taints, and low occupational prestige. by drawing on published celebrity beautician interviews and conducting semi-structured interviews with salon owners and customers, we found that

elderly renters face mounting housing affordability challenges due to rising rents. while many see rent control as a way to assist families in need of affordable housing, evidence of its effectiveness is sparse. we fill this gap by examining the effects of new york city’s rent stabilization policy on elderly renters. we find that elderly renters experience greater rent burdens than younger renters

the spread of misinformation has historically been attributed to emotions, thinking styles, biases, and predispositions, but only a few studies have explored the conditions influencing its prevalence. the theory of informative fictions (tif) addresses this gap by presenting propositions that predict the conditions under which misinformation is tolerated and promoted. building on the literature on tif

place attachment involves cognitive and emotional elements that connect individuals and groups to specific places. while extensively studied, its expression at the metropolitan scale remains underexplored. this article addresses that gap by introducing the concept of spatial consciousness – comprising phenomenal, representational and intentional dimensions – as a key element of metropolitan attachment

this article examines how google maps is reshaping local markets by imposing a data imperative on businesses, compelling them to continuously produce and update data to maintain their visibility and competitiveness. using france as a case study, it conceptualizes google maps as an ordinal device: a ranking mechanism that classifies and orders businesses based on data-driven metrics rather than traditional

as digital platforms increasingly shape how families connect and gather information, family science must adapt its communication strategies to remain relevant and impactful. the journal of family theory & review (jftr) digital scholarship board (dsb) was created to translate scholarly insights into accessible content for scholars, practitioners, and the public. using conceptual scaffolding from bronfenbrenner's

this paper describes a three-part framework to study how language technologies elucidate and shape linguistic relations in society. reframing a mountain of evidence about language bias in llms, we introduce the concept of linguistic affordances to attend to how an object can shape social relations through language. first, we contextualize how language ideologies inform social relations in a particular

big tech companies like google have spread their priorities from city to city by integrating their products into local infrastructure and forming new public–private partnerships to manage them. this article asks what happens when co-dependence fails, and briefly reviews attempts to describe and label emerging urban-tech regimes.

(1922-2008) was a czech comparative psychologist, physiologist, ethologist, and sexologist. he made extremely important empirical contributions to the study of sexual behavior in both humans and rats, among others, helping to pioneer the use of plethysmography to measure genital sexual arousal in men. here, we present a biography of his life, his struggles against

digital corporations and governments alike are driving a post-political agenda around the expansion of data centres – the infrastructural backbone of expanding cyberworlds. with qualitative methods, the political socioeconomic context of a google data centre project in luxembourg was reconstructed. it is seen that the project resulted from both the country’s pursuit of a niche within global economic

in the face of the hyper-commodification and assetisation of housing and the growing dominance of corporate landlords, a new generation of tenants’ unions is emerging. these unions arise in an adverse context: they lack support from strong labour movements, are growing amidst the decline of progressive social mobilisations and exist predominantly in societies defined by high homeownership rates. paradoxically

this commentary explores the renewed significance of the neighbourhood scale in tenant organising amid the rise of global corporate landlords. historically, tenant unions have been embedded in neighbourhood spaces and relations in various ways. today, neighbourhoods serve as vital sites of resistance, offering rootedness against increasing displacement pressures and providing organising spaces for

this study explores the experiences and perceptions of parents of adolescents and young adults who identify as transgender, particularly focusing on the anxiety and ambivalence that some parents experience regarding their child's disclosure of a transgender identity. while existing research on transidentity among minors has addressed challenges within family dynamics, it has not deeply examined the

anal sex stigma substantially affects sexual minority men (smm), particularly regarding sexual roles and the implications of identifying as a "top" or "bottom." the intersection of negative perceptions regarding race, sexuality, and health status could intensify anal sex stigma effects among black smm living with hiv. however, there are few validated tools to measure this form of stigma among this

how do professional mothers whose bodies undergo significant transformations engage with materiality – such as clothing, makeup and their own bodies – as active ‘resources’ when navigating their identities after maternity leave? building on the literature on embodied identity work, we conducted 31 interviews with professional mothers in finland to explore this question. we illustrate how mothers engage

sex work has existed globally for thousands of years. although research on why individuals enter sex work is growing, widespread public misconceptions persist, particularly regarding women's motivations to enter sex work and the definition of sex work itself. these misunderstandings represent a contemporary women's issue, influencing public policy, social attitudes, and resource allocation. the purpose

public health research has documented a multitude of risk factors that drive sexual risk behaviors among sexual minority men, including online behaviors and negative body image attitudes. sexual risk behaviors may be particularly pertinent among queer asian american men who frequently engage with geosocial networking apps (gnas), which can lead to self-objectification and body fat dissatisfaction.

close relationships are typically distinguished by whether they are "romantic" versus "platonic" and this distinction is often based on sexual attraction and/or behavior. however, several forms of close relationships do not follow this pattern. thus, the purpose of this research was to explore how individuals distinguish between romantic relationships and close, non-romantic relationships in non-sexual

this study identifies traditional conceptions of homosexuality and social stereotypes about gay men among brazilian teenagers. a total of 178 adolescents (50% girls; age range 11-16 years) participated in 45 focus groups held at five schools in brazil, in which a semi-structured script and videos depicting homophobic bullying were used to elicit their opinions. thematic analysis revealed a dichotomy

childhood sexual abuse (csa) is a commonly recognized risk factor for early sexual debut. however, relatively few studies are available that examine the potential mediators of this relationship. one promising marker is a preoccupation with sex and sexual topics as one enters the teenage years; however, sexual behavior observed at age 8 might serve as an even earlier risk indicator for early sexual

while social media’s positivity bias has been linked to various well-being implications, little is known about how it relates to young adults’ romantic cognitions and outcomes. this study explores the associations between perceived exposure to positively-biased romantic social media content and relationship satisfaction, as well as fear of being single (fobs). a cross-sectional survey ( n = 605) was

the observed results of body mass index are inconsistent, which makes it controversial whether weight loss is beneficial to erectile function. the purpose of this review aimed to summarize the potential relationship between obesity-related eight anthropometric indexes and erectile dysfunction: body mass index, waist circumference, weight-adjusted waist index, waist-to-height ratio, a body shape index

the prevalence of problematic pornography use (ppu) and its potential negative effects have raised concerns, necessitating the availability of accurate assessment tools. this study aimed to validate the problematic pornography consumption scale (ppcs-6) in a spanish sample with gambling disorder. the sample consisted of 359 adults (92.2% men, m = 39.5 years, sd = 13.6) seeking treatment for gambling

in recent years, numerous accountability interventions have been introduced to address the harms and inequalities associated with artificial intelligence (ai) systems. early efforts concentrated on transparency and explainability, often operationalized as technical fixes intended to “open the black box” and render algorithmic processes more intelligible. however, sociological research has revealed

this paper examines the case of iruda, an ai chatbot launched in december 2020 by the south korean startup scatter lab. iruda quickly became the center of a controversy, because of inappropriate remarks and sexual exchanges. as conversations between iruda and users spread through online communities, the controversy expanded to other issues, including hate speech against minorities and privacy violations

absences are inescapable in data. data collection always focuses on some elements while occluding others. yet, how absences are considered and recorded within data infrastructures markedly transforms the inferences that can be made. tracing a genealogy from early databases to contemporary ai datasets, this paper explores how data infrastructures have grappled with the inherent incompleteness of data

sexual minority men (smm) represent more than 50% of individuals living with hiv in the usa despite making up less than 5% of the general population. the advent of biomedical hiv prevention interventions has far-reaching benefits for smm, potentially enhancing psychosexual health. we examined the relationship of pre-exposure prophylaxis (prep) use and undetectable = untransmittable (u = u) belief to

polyamory is a form of consensual non-monogamy (cnm) that openly endorses multiple romantic and sexual relationships. previous research has reported high satisfaction and need fulfillment in polyamorous relationships. however, the feasibility of polyamory for a wider population given the societal monogamy norm is highly debated. desire for relational autonomy, such as the freedom to love multiple partners

while researchers have emphasized the need to investigate pornography use in relation to normative or positive aspects of adolescent sexuality and understand differential susceptibility among users, empirical studies remain sparse. in response, this study investigated the link between pornography use and adolescents' sexual self-concept (i.e., sexual self-esteem, body-esteem, sexual anxiety, and self-efficacy)

this exploratory study investigated germany's heterosexual swinger community within the consensual non-monogamy spectrum. it used anonymized, verified data harvested in september and october 2023 from joyclub, the leading online platform in germany focused on sexual exploration. the first part examined anonymized profiles from self-declared swingers, totaling 22,973 individuals, revealing a mature

does exposure to news about out-party campaigns’ increasing use of deepfakes further increase polarization among partisans, and how does this impact vary among different evaluations of political coalitions, parties, and leaders? what role does approval for candidates’ usage of ai play as a moderator in this relationship? this paper examines these questions using data from a survey experiment ( n =

the deaths of black victims of police brutality, such as george floyd, breonna taylor, sandra bland, and philando castile, have become focusing events and symbols for the black lives matter (blm) movement, catalyzing wide-spread public attention to racial injustice. while prior studies on hashtag activism predominantly focus on single and widely known cases, less is understood about why some incidents

condoms are rarely depicted in pornography. previous research suggests that most consumers of pornography are in favor of condom use in pornography; however, available research on attitudes toward condom use in pornography has mostly focused on men. the current article investigates the psychometric properties of the pornography actors' condom use attitudes questionnaire (pacuaq) and the association

this essay introduces and develops the concept of imitative intelligence implied by turing’s foundational work on machine intelligence and connects it to the current generation ai agents based on large language models. based on a close reading of turing’s writings on machine intelligence, from the 1938 paper on the entscheidungsproblem to the 1950 paper on the imitation game, the turing test is found

this article examines the mediating role of social scientists in the cultural integration and regulation of artificial intelligence (ai), with a particular focus on the creative industries. drawing on an ethnographic case study within a film cooperative, it identifies four modalities through which social scientists become enrolled in ai-related organizational processes: as middlemen linking theory

despite extensive research on institutions and firm internationalisation, the joint firm and macro-level effects of informal relationships, that is, corruption, on firm internationalisation, particularly within specific industrial contexts (resource-based vs. non-resource industries), remain underexplored. to investigate how firms internationalise under 2 boundary conditions – resource dependency and

public funding plays a pivotal yet often overlooked role in shaping ai development, especially in latin america. drawing on sociological theories of performativity, we analyze 205 ai projects funded by chile’s key public agencies, related to research, entrepreneurship, and creation, over the past decade. through content analysis combined with a qualitative, heuristic procedure, we characterize five
