ObjectiveHow does economic inequality shape participation in political campaigns? Previous research has found that higher inequality makes people of all incomes less likely to participate in politics, consistent with relative power theory, which holds that greater inequality enables wealthier citizens to more fully reshape the political landscape to their own advantage. Campaign activities, however, demand more time and money than previously examined forms of participation and so might better conform to the predictions of resource theory, which focuses narrowly on the ramifications of inequality for individuals' resources.MethodsWe combine individual‐level data on donations, meeting attendance, and volunteer work for political campaigns with measures of state‐level income inequality to construct a series of multilevel models.ResultsThe analyses reveal that, where inequality is higher, campaign participation is lower among individuals of all incomes.ConclusionsPatterns of participation in even resource‐intensive campaign activities provide support for the relative power theory.

This text explores the wide variation across states in convenience voting methods-absentee/mail voting, in-person early voting, same day registration-and provides new empirical analysis of the beneficial effects of these policies, not only in increasing voter turnout overall, but for disadvantaged groups. By measuring both convenience methods and implementation of the laws, the volume improves on previous research. It draws generalizable conclusions about how these laws affect voter turnout by using population data from the fifty state voter files.

Most research on election reforms to increase voter turnout has downplayed their effects, showing that they generally benefit educated, older, and more affluent people. This book shows the positive effects that these reforms have on overall voter turnout, and among voters of disadvantaged groups. It emphasizes the ways that state governments are making it easier to participate in elections in an effort to strengthen democratic government. With important implications for the 2020 general election and beyond, Accessible Elections underscores how state governments can modernize their electoral practices to increase voter turnout, address electoral inequalities, and influence campaign and party mobilization strategies.

Heterogenität in Sprachbildungsprozessen ist facettenreich und birgt ganz unterschiedliche Herausforderungen. Der Deutschunterricht in der inklusiven Schule hat die Aufgabe, allen Kindern angemessene Lernangebote zu unterbreiten. Das vorliegende Buch arbeitet Diskussionslinien heraus, die sich an den Schnittflächen von Deutschdidaktik und Inklusionspädagogik erkennen lassen

AbstractDuring the process of emotion management, individuals perceive that they are feeling emotions that differ from what is expected within the situation. Consequently, they use cognitive, physical, and/or other means either to display more appropriate emotions or to change their emotions on a deeper level to be consistent with what is customarily expressed. Beginning with the first examinations of emotion management in 1979 by the pioneer Arlie Hochschild, emotion scholars have produced over 6,000 studies of this phenomenon. We join this vibrant research program by proposing new avenues of research using an interdisciplinary strategy. First, we explore possibilities for emotion management research within its "home base" of sociology; then, we branch out to the areas of morality and political science. In so doing, we craft new and unexpected pathways for advancements in theory, theory adjudication, and methodology, for the future of emotion management research.
