Abstract: The rise and fall of the Suburban O'Hare Commission, a coalition of suburbs formed to oppose O'Hare expansion, exemplifies the fate of locality-based protest when a grassroots group becomes institutionalized and identified with one political party. |

"The parable of the hare and the tortoise: Network structure of exploration and exploitation" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, Marriott Hotel, Loews Philadelphia Hotel, Philadelphia, PA, Aug 12, 2005 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p22874_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: In this age of connectedness, a great deal of energy is spent to further increase the bridging and bonding ties between members of systems. This paper explores how the structure of social ties affects the social outcomes for complex problems. We present recent network science developments in the context of information diffusion, and then offer a model for testing whether the small world (small number of degrees of separation) social groupings are more effective at finding solutions to complex problems. Simulation results show that while lower degrees of separation allow a population to quickly converge on an easy-to-find solution, networks with higher degrees of separation perform better in the long run. Beyond demonstrating the advantages of less connectivity in simulation, we provide three examples from diverse circumstances where inefficient communication can actually increase social outcomes. |

"Estimating the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised and the Psychopathic Personality Inventory from the Personality Assessment Inventory" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychology - Law Society, Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront, Jacksonville, FL, Mar 05, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-24 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p229388_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Various attempts to assess psychopathic traits via broad-band measures of personality and psychopathology have appeared in the literature recently. This submission will examine the criterion-related validity of the Personality Assessment Inventory in the prediction of psychopathic traits as operationalized via the Psychopathy Checklist Revised and the Psychopathic Personality Inventory in a large (N = 1,545) and ethnically heterogeneous sample of male and female offenders. Preliminary results suggest that, although the PAI Antisocial Features scale explains the majority of variance in psychopathy scores, other theoretically relevant PAI scales (e.g., Anxiety, Dominance) also contribute to the prediction of total and factor scores. |
