We investigate sexual disclosure among college students in the American Deep South. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual students were more likely to disclose their sexuality to friends than family. Sexual disclosure was reduced for younger students, international students, and students with more anti-gay prejudices, who live in less populous areas, and who were raised in the South. The results indicate sex and race privileges; men disclosed their sexuality more than women, and Whites disclosed more than Blacks. We conclude with a discussion of the importance of recognizing the diversity of GLB experiences and the utility of the "sexuality as structure" perspective.Sexual Disclosure among College Students in the American Deep South: Toward a "Sexuality as Structure" Approach
Social media has become a part of the International framework. Use has risen exponentially and organizations that have relied on traditional channels of communication are considering its use. Researchers studied the impact of semantics on organizations disseminating financial information using Twitter. This study sought to understand the impact of word strength in communicating with investors. This study included 34 American publicly traded banks over four quarters or a sample size of 136. Seventeen used Twitter while seventeen did not. The researchers analyzed the semantic content of these messages. Using a predictive model, researchers compared the cumulative abnormal returns associated with the announcement. Researchers concluded that using Twitter did not positively impact stock price. Researchers also found that banks using Twitter used more powerful words in communicating. This research advances understanding the role social media and semantics can play to disseminate financial information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
