Abstract: People’s perception of the responsiveness of the political system affects the way that citizens approve the president. In an autocratic regime such as the PRI hegemony (93-00), citizens tend to focus their attention on economic problems such as unemployment when they evaluate the president. In the emerging Mexican democracy (01-06), political problems such as crime and corruption become more important when people examine the president’s performance. This finding can be explained by a change in citizens’ expectations of the president, the salience of crime as a national issue in Mexican politics since the mid-1990s, and the strong association in citizens’ mind between the old PRI regime and corruption. |

"A Multi-method Assessment of Juvenile Psychopathy: Comparing the Predictive Utility of the PCL:YV, YPI, and NEO-PRI" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychology - Law Society, TBA, San Antonio, TX, Mar 05, 2009 <Not Available>. 2009-12-03 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p296116_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Review Method: Peer Reviewed
Abstract: The present study examines the relation between three approaches to assessing psychopathy: a clinical interview (PCL:YV), a self-report measure (YPI), and a personality-based approach (NEO), and tests how each measure predicts short- (6-12 months) and long-term (3-years) offending among juvenile offenders. The three measures show modest overlap (r’s=.26 to .36); however, whether or not one is identified as psychopathic varies across measures. Measures predicted short-term but not long-term offending. Thus, high scores on psychopathy are indicative of short-term risk, but given the little overlap across the measures, these measures may not be valid for making legal or clinical treatment decisions. |

"The PRI Revival: The Vanquished Look for Revenge" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Town & Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA, Mar 22, 2006 <Not Available>. 2009-12-03 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p98725_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Like an aged girl called back from retirement, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional looks to 2006 with bated breath hoping it will once again occupied Los Pinos, the Mexican presidential residence. Memories of 70 years of not always benign dictatorship will haunt the PRI as it struggles to retain the grandeur that was lost when Mexico democratized. |

"Rules to Avoid Rules: Candidate Selection Changes in the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) in Mexico" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the The Midwest Political Science Association, Palmer House Hilton, Chicago, Illinois, Apr 07, 2005 <Not Available>. 2009-12-03 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p87052_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Review Method: Peer Reviewed
Abstract: I discuss how the PRI in Mexico has reformed the way that it selects candidates for public office. I argue that loopholes in the new rules often allow party elites to avoid using open procedures in favor of closed ones, thus avoiding reform. |
