Political tolerance in Eastern and Western Europe: Social and psychological roots

According to Sullivan et al.’s (Sullivan et al. 1979, 53-55, Sullivan et al. 1985) theory, social and\ud psychological factors play different roles in political tolerance. Target-group selection is shaped by\ud socio-demographic characteristics, since in this way people try to adjust themselves to their social\ud environment. On the other side, the degree of tolerance is a function of personality and other\ud psychological factors.\ud The paper examines whether the causal model proposed by Sullivan and his co-workers is able to\ud account for individual differences in the degree of political intolerance in Eastern and Western Europe.\ud The main emphasis is on their hypothesis about different effects of socio-economic and psychological\ud variables. The research is based on World Values Survey data, which include the so called ‘least liked’\ud method to operationalize political tolerance. The findings indicate that psychological factors play an\ud important role in the choice of target group, and not only in determining the degree of intolerance,\ud contrary to Sullivan et al., hypothesis. Socio-economic status variables displayed rather complex\ud pattern of influence on political tolerance. In general, the findings suggest that intolerance of different\ud groups is not uniformly related to social and psychological explanatory variables. Not only intolerance\ud is pluralistic, but the mechanisms behind intolerance seem to be pluralistic too

Limit sets as examples in noncommutative geometry

The fundamental group of a hyperbolic manifold acts on the limit set, giving rise to a cross-product C^* algebra. We construct nontrivial K-cycles for the cross-product algebra, thereby extending some results of Connes and Sullivan to higher dimensions. We also show how the Patterson-Sullivan measure on the limit set can be interpreted as a center-valued KMS state.Comment: final versio

Social support, social control and health behavior change in spouses

Our work on support processes in intimate relationships has focused on how partners in committed relationships help one another contend with personal difficulties, and how partners elicit and provide support in their day-to-day interactions. We are particularly interested in how these support skills relate to marital outcomes (Pasch & Bradbury, 1998; Pasch, Harris, Sullivan, & Bradbury, 2004; Sullivan, Pasch, Eldridge, & Bradbury, 1998) and how they relate to behavior change in spouses (Sullivan, Pasch, Johnson, & Bradbury, 2006), especially health behavior changes. In this chapter, we review research examining the effects of social support and social control on spouses\u27 health behaviors, propose a theory to account for discrepancies in these findings, and report initial data examining the usefulness of this theory in understanding the relationship between social support, social control, and partner health behavior
