“…For instance, we might expect that individuals who suffered personally from COVID-19 would report more negative emotions and greater COVID-19-related threat perceptions than individuals who were not personally affected. Personal experience may even be strong enough to override or neutralize the effects of political identity ( Bernstein, 2005 ; Strauss, 2009 ; Bernstein and Taylor, 2013 ; Hersh, 2013 ).…”

Political Identity Over Personal Impact: Early U.S. Reactions to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Research suggests political identity has strong influence over individuals’ attitudes and beliefs, which in turn can affect their behavior. Likewise, firsthand experience with an issue can also affect attitudes and beliefs. A large (N = 6,383) survey (Pew Research and Ipsos W64) of Americans was analyzed to investigate the effects of both political identity (i.e., Democrat or Republican) and personal impact (i.e., whether they suffered job or income loss) on individuals’ reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results show that political identity and personal impact influenced the American public’s attitudes about and response to COVID-19. Consistent with prior research, political identity exerted a strong influence on self-reports of emotional distress, threat perception, discomfort with exposure, support for restrictions, and perception of under/overreaction by individuals and institutions. The difference between Democrats and Republican responses were consistent with their normative value differences and with the contemporary partisan messaging. Personal impact exerted a comparatively weaker influence on reported emotional distress and threat perception. Both factors had a weak influence on appraisal of individual and government responses. The dominating influence of political identity carried over into the bivariate relations among these self-reported attitudes and responses. In particular, the appraisal of government response divided along party lines, tied to opposing views of whether there has been over- or under-reaction to the pandemic. The dominance of political identity has important implications for crisis management and reflects the influence of normative value differences between the parties, partisan messaging on the pandemic, and polarization in American politics.

“…Because sexuality has different meanings depending on disciplinary and professional bases (e.g. sexuality as an aspect of health (Lindau et al., 2007), dimension of identity (Bernstein and Taylor, 2005) or as a part of human relationships (Christopher and Sprecher, 2000)), the present study used the conceptual framework of the IDD Self-Advocacy Movement as a way to connect the more generalized notion of sexuality to a more concrete and specific concept of sexual self-advocacy . Using NGT as a method, this exploratory study asked people with IDD what sexual self-advocacy meant to them .…”

People with intellectual and developmental disabilities must often advocate for themselves in many facets of life, including sexuality. Because of this, sexual self-advocacy is an important concept to develop and apply to policy and practice. This paper provides a conceptualization of sexual self-advocacy, a view of sexuality formulated by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities that is closely tied to the values of the SelfAdvocacy Movement. In describing the study process, this paper also puts forth the Participatory Action Research method, Nominal Group Technique, as an accessible method for gaining insight from adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The choice of Nominal Group Technique as a research method was motivated by several factors. Nominal Group Technique served to counterbalance many of the potential research difficulties when working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including the need for understandable, inclusive, and participatory ways to access data from people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and addressed the topic of sexual self-advocacy that is important to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“…Se ha procedido a una combinación de técnicas de investigación, no solo por exhaustividad y profundidad, sino por la posibilidad de articular diferentes formas de pensar, analizar y explicar distintos procesos en un mismo estudio; esto con el fin de aportar diversas perspectivas que proporcionen equilibrio o una alternativa de validación, lo que aporta credibilidad, transferibilidad, transparencia, contraste, responsabilidad y validez (Hay y Cope 2010, 348). Las fuentes de información utilizadas para la obtención de material empírico y su posterior análisis fueron cinco entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas mediante el muestreo bola de nieve a agentes clave en la organización y participación en las actividades vecinales vinculadas al desarrollo de la cabalgata de Hortaleza 6 . Asimismo, se desarrolló trabajo etnográfico mediante observación participante tanto en los talleres vecinales de preparación de las cabalgatas como en el evento durante el periodo señalado.…”

A finales de los años sesenta, los movimientos vecinales irrumpieron en la agenda municipal en múltiples entornos metropolitanos a escala global mediante numerosas demandas relacionadas con necesidades básicas. En Madrid dichas demandas tomaron como escala geográfica de referencia diferentes espacios barriales y de algunos antiguos municipios que fueron integrados como distritos en el núcleo urbano madrileño, lo que situó a estos lugares en el centro del debate político, que fue difuminándose fruto de las distintas reformas municipales desarrolladas durante las dos primeras décadas de democracia parlamentaria en España. En los últimos quince años, las reivindicaciones en torno al barrio han tomado un cariz diferente, pues ha aparecido un fenómeno político vinculado a nuevas formas de protesta vecinal denominado barrionalismo, proceso que no solo no se vio mermado durante los momentos más duros de la pandemia global provocada por la covid-19, sino que, al contrario, se ha visto reforzado como dinámica de socialización política, solidaridad y resistencia cotidiana en múltiples barrios de la capital madrileña; de este modo, se han ampliado los referentes y elementos de identificación en torno al barrio, así como la propia práctica política del barrionalismo. Desde una perspectiva espacial de los movimientos vecinales que considera la identidad política como un proceso dinámico y resignificado mediante la propia protesta y la organización colectiva, y a través de la etnografía y el análisis de entrevistas en profundidad desarrolladas durante cinco años en el distrito madrileño de Hortaleza en torno a la Cabalgata de Reyes, este trabajo estudia cómo se están articulando dichas prácticas sociopolíticas en el espacio urbano y cómo el aprendizaje de esta forma de socialización espacial está influyendo en la agenda municipal de Madrid en su conjunto.
