“…They are often applied without testing the nature of the response variable and other assumptions underlying these same models. This can often lead to erroneous conclusions [49][50][51].). Thus, we use the proportional odds version of the cumulative logit model (This model is often mentioned to as a proportional odds model, according to an influential paper on modelling ordinal data by Reference [52].…”

The advent of the Internet has significantly changed consumption patterns and habits. Online grocery shopping is a way of purchasing food products using a web-based shopping service. The current COVID-19 pandemic is determining a rethinking of purchase choice elements and of consumers’ behavior. This work aims to investigate which characteristics can affect the decision of online food shopping during the pandemic emergency in Italy. In particular, the work aims to analyze the effects of a set of explanatory variables on the level of satisfaction for the food online shopping experience. For achieving this aim, the proportional odds version of the cumulative logit model is carried out. Data derive from an anonymous on-line questionnaire administrated during the first months of the pandemic and filled by 248 respondents. The results of this work highlight that people having familiarity with buying food online, that have a higher educational level and consider food online channels easy to use, appear more satisfied for the food online shopping experience. These findings can be crucial for the future green global challenges as online shopping may help to reach competitive advantages for company sustainability.

“…11 This is a type of fractional response model, a class of models that is related to binary response models, but instead of estimating the probability of being in one bin of a dichotomous variable, it models variables that take on all possible values in the unit interval. Fractional models have been widely used in social science research, including to study the determinants of Brexit votes in the UK (Alaimo and Solivetti 2019), the relationship between local violence within a neighborhood and time spent at home in the US (Browning et al 2021), public good provision in India (Chowdhury 2021), elderly care provision in China (Hu and Chen 2019), and the division of labor within households in Austria (Spitzer and Hammer 2016).…”

What’s a Parent to Do? Measuring Cultural Logics of Parenting with Text Analysis

Leading theories on parenting in the United States suggest that parenting styles vary widely by socioeconomic status, with middle-class parents practicing "concerted cultivation"—marked by parents’ intensive efforts to foster their children’s development—and working-class parents engaging in the "accomplishment of natural growth"—with children given more freedom to manage their own time. While it is frequently inferred that these parenting practices reflect different cultural logics of parenting, such logics are inherently hard to measure. Our paper proposes a new way to study parenting logics using computational social science (CSS) techniques applied to a nationally representative survey where respondents provided parenting advice across three hypo- thetical parenting situations. We analyze this advice using Biterm Topic Modeling and explore whether the resulting topics vary by respondents’ race/ethnicity, education, and income. We find that nearly all parenting logics reflect some form of intensive parenting but, within that, multiple nuanced versions of parenting emerge, varying across two dimensions: (1) assertive vs negotiated parenting, and (2) pedagogic vs pragmatic parenting. Using fractional multinomial logistic regression, we find little difference in how parenting logics vary by race/ethnicity, education, and income, revealing much more similarity across socioeconomic and sociodemographic groups than commonly understood. These findings demonstrate how CSS provides new tools to enrich the study of long-standing questions in social science research and complement the use of more "traditional" research methods in a synergistic manner.

“…Postreferendum UK citizens can now identify with "Remainer" and "Leaver/Brexiteer" tribal political identities (Hobolt, 2016). Despite these simplistic tribal identities, some postreferendum studies have revealed the wide spectra and diversity of socio-economic and cultural drivers that lay behind individual voting preferences (Alaimo & Solivetti, 2019;Willet et al, 2019). Still, the tribal identities do persist.…”

“…The case of addressing the challenges of Brexit in the field is no different and ethical awareness provides both the case studies presented in this paper with a commonality. For example, it should be recognised that most Brexit-related views do not belong at the extremes of justifications for whether the UK should remain or leave the EU (Alaimo & Solivetti, 2019). However, there is a latent tribalism possessed by issues, such as Brexit, when they are presented as a dualism and/or binary choice (Tsiliotis, 2016).…”

In this paper we present the importance of detailing the contextual conditions of a qualitative study to highlight any potential participant-researcher tensions. We emphasize the importance of understanding context in rich detail to expose societal complexities while maintaining positive participant-research rapport. Through two cases, this paper considers that bracketing, reflexivity, and transparency can be applied to form appropriate strategies to deal with external disruptions to qualitative fieldwork. The cases draw on Brexit’s impact on two studies conducted in the United Kingdom. In so doing, we argue that time, relevance, and the individuals involved can coalesce to express varied influences on a study. Thus, bracketing, reflexivity and transparency become vital to dealing with such influences; particularly when they are disruptive to a study. Overall, the strategic approach outlined by this paper can be used to maximise awareness of potential sources of tension in the field and to deal with any tensions that do arise.
