It is no less important, however, to understand the interactive processes through which inequalities are created and reproduced in concrete settings. The qualitative research that bears on understanding these processes has not yet been consolidated, and thus its theoretical value remains unrealized. In this article we inductively derive from the literature a sensitizing theory of the generic processes through which inequality is reproduced. The major processes that we identify are othering, subordinate adaptation, boundary maintenance, and emotion management. We argue that conceiving the reproduction of inequality in terms of these generic processes can resolve theoretical problems concerning the connection between local action and extralocal inequalities, and concerning the nature of inequality itself.}, number={2}, journal={SOCIAL FORCES}, author={Schwalbe, M and Godwin, S and Holden, D and Schrock, D and Thompson, S and Wolkomir, M}, year={2000}, month={Dec}, pages={419–452} } @article{wolkomir_futreal_woodrum_hoban_1997, title={Denominational subcultures of environmentalism}, volume={38}, ISSN={["2211-4866"]}, DOI={10.2307/3512194}, abstractNote={Utilizing a national sample, six denominational subcultures are examined for average member adherence to dominion belief net of demographic variables. In a test of Lynn White style expectations, denominational subcultures with higher average levels of dominion belief are hypothesized to have lower average levels of environmental concern and behavior; likewise, subcultures with lower average levels of dominion belief are hypothesized to have higher levels of environmental concern and behavior. In no cases are the hypotheses supported; this indicates that denominational differences in dominion belief do not translate into differences in denominational environmentalism. Two additional findings are also discussed: 1) independent of dominion belief, Black Protestant denominations have lower average levels of environmentalism than other subcultures ; and 2) religious salience is found to have a positive effect on environmental concern and behavior when dominion belief is statistically controlled. Implications of this research for the study of religion and environmentalism are discussed.}, number={4}, journal={REVIEW OF RELIGIOUS RESEARCH}, author={WoLkomir, M and Futreal, M and Woodrum, E and Hoban, T}, year={1997}, month={Jun}, pages={325–343} } @article{woodrum_wolkomir_1997, title={Religious effects on environmentalism}, volume={17}, ISSN={["0273-2173"]}, DOI={10.1080/02732173.1997.9982161}, abstractNote={Understanding of religious influences on environmentalism has been biased by political conflicts. This article summarizes the demographic parameters of environmental concern, then evaluates religious and political influences on that concern and related activity, using General Social Surveys data. It assesses influences on willingness to pay for environmental programs, individual environmental behaviors, and participation in political activities for related causes. Young people and women express greater environmental concern, but older persons more often engage in individual environmental activities such as recycling. The association of fundamentalism with political conservatism compounds interpretation of religion because political conservatives are antagonistic to environmentalism. Religious affiliation strength has positive effects on environmental concern, and worship attendance has positive effects on individual environmental behaviors, when fundamentalism and political variables are controlled.
