The Academy is dedicated to the objectives of supporting social science research and dialogue and to promoting the value and visibility of the social sciences in Indiana while providing an environment in which social scientists across the state can interact in cooperation and friendship. The Academy holds an annual meeting and produces Endnotes (IASS Newsletter) and publishes the Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences. The Academy currently recognizes the following social science disciplines: anthropology, business, criminology, economics, history, geography, psychology, political science, and sociology.

The Journal recognizes and supports the many diverse perspectives and methods across the several social sciences; it neither espouses nor champions any specific ideological, theoretical, methodological, or political commitments. The Journal is committed to intellectual integrity, rigorous standards of scholarship, and rational and civil discourse. It encourages the presentation and free exchange of diverse viewpoints and seeks to foster open and critical inquiry that privileges no particular standpoint, while operating within the limits of a standard of discourse and reason that distinguishes between the pursuit of knowledge and truth versus mere assertions of dogma. Although every effort will be made to publish issues that represent a fair balance of scholarship across the entire spectrum of social science disciplines, the Journal’s first priority will always be to publish the best social science research available at any given time, regardless of disciplinary representation. Toward this end, papers will be accepted for editorial review and publication in the annual issue of the journal at any time of year, whether or not they were presented at the Annual Conference. Persons who submit articles for review are expected to adhere to Author Submission Guidelines detailed elsewhere in this journal and online at www.iass1.org. The Journal has been published annually in the fall both in print and online since Volume 14 (2010–2011). Articles submitted for possible publication are subject to a double-blind review process. The Senior Editor in Chief alone is responsible for making the final decision on all manuscripts and content for publication in the Journal, and the Senior Editor’s decision on publication content is not subject to review by any other member, officer, or body of the IASS. v SENIOR EDITOR’S NOTE I am pleased to present Volume 20 (2017) of the Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences. Our latest issue leads off with a thought-provoking essay about disaster management and the roles of nongovernmental organizations and local government with a case study of several catastrophes that struck Japan in March 2011. Although this article focuses on Japan, it is not hard to see how it might be applied to the very recent situation of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma hitting Texas and Florida this past September, demonstrating the relevance of a social science perspective for understanding our contemporary world. In addition, Volume 20 (2017) of JIASS offers eight impressive research articles exploring a wide variety of topics from several different social science perspectives. Professors Dulaney and Gunn analyze the strategic use of apologies by businesses in response to several food-poisoning incidents. Professor Gao examines the emergence and development of a public sphere during China’s May Fourth Era (1915–1926). Professor Hare reports on her interesting study of the gender ratio of characters in more than 100 popular animated films from 1980 through 2016, asking whether any significant change has occurred during this long period. Professor Kordsmeier offers an in-depth analysis based on participant observation and interviews with theater workers about how stage managers establish leadership authority informally through emotion work. Professors Schnarre and Adam address parasocial relationships (perceived friendships with media figures that are not reciprocated), comparing men’s and women’s views of such relationships. Professors Statham and Greider offer a compelling analysis of the importance of unions in contemporary times, focusing on UAW Local 72, which represents factory workers in Kenosha, Wisconsin, based on qualitative data collected over a 20-year period. Professors VanAlstine, Cox, and Roden, with Doctor Boothby, continue in their study of the social impacts of diversity (ethnicity, religion, and language), with a focus on Indiana. Finally, Doctors Vergo and Poulikis, along with several graduate students, explore African American undergraduate students’ perceptions of factors that influence their decisions to attend doctoral programs in psychology. All of these papers represent a wide-ranging and provocative set of studies sure to be of interest to all social scientists! The current volume represents the second issue published since I was reelected as senior editor in chief, and the seventh volume I have edited and published since I assumed the editor’s role in 2010. Much has been accomplished over the past seven years, including moving the journal to an online as well as a print publication. Since my first year as editor, beginning with Volume 14 (2010–2011), papers submitted to JIASS are no longer limited to those presented at the annual meeting and conference. While authors of papers presented at our annual conference continue to be encouraged to submit their work for possible publication, we also encourage social scientists from anywhere in the world to submit papers for review. To ensure quality and fairness, papers submitted for possible publication undergo, after a preliminary review by the editorial staff, a double- blind peer-review process involving two referees. The high quality of submitted papers vi Senior Editor’s Note vii has increased in recent years, with the pleasing result of an abundance of extremely fine selections for the
