“…Our working example draws on multilevel mediation as it represents one prevalent type of MLSEM in organizational research and in research across almost every area of the social sciences (e.g., Aarons & Sawitzky, 2006; Allen, Herst, Bruck, & Sutton, 2000; Brough & O’Driscoll, 2005; Brough, O’Driscoll, Kalliath, Cooper, & Poelmans, 2009; Brown et al, 2014; Eby, Casper, Lockwood, Bordeaux, & Brinley, 2005; Kelcey, Hill, & Chin, 2019; Ketelaars, 2017; Sampson, Raudenbush, & Earls, 1997; Song, Tsui, & Law, 2009). There are of course many other types of MLSEMs that are common in the organizational sciences and for which the proposed estimator is suitable.…”

Maximum likelihood estimation of multilevel structural equation model (MLSEM) parameters is a preferred approach to probe theories involving latent variables in multilevel settings. Although maximum likelihood has many desirable properties, a major limitation is that it often fails to converge and can incur significant bias when implemented in studies with a small to moderate multilevel sample (e.g., fewer than 100 organizations with 10 or less individuals/organization). To address similar limitations in single-level SEM, literature has developed Croon’s bias-corrected factor score path analysis estimator that converges more regularly than maximum likelihood and delivers less biased parameter estimates with small to moderate sample sizes. We derive extensions to this framework for MLSEMs and probe the degree to which the estimator retains these advantages with small to moderate multilevel samples. The estimator emerges as a useful alternative or complement to maximum likelihood because it often outperforms maximum likelihood in small to moderate multilevel samples in terms of convergence, bias, error variance, and power. The proposed estimator is implemented as a function in R using lavaan and is illustrated using a multilevel mediation example.

“…For example, Karpf (2018) asserts that “the power of any social movement's tactics is partially based on how they are designed to align with the contemporary media system” (p. 148). In addition, Ketelaars (2017) shows that activist motives are shaped by the way the protest issues are framed by the media. In short, the media functions as a critical intermediary between movement entities and their potential supporters.…”

Candidate emergence as movement mobilization: An analysis of Women's post‐2016 electoral engagement

Political science scholarship argues that women's underrepresentation in American politics stems from a persistent shortage of female candidates. Women are less likely to run because they often perceive individual and structural obstacles that negatively impact their electoral interest. Such barriers remain intact, yet thousands of women have signaled their interest in running for office since the 2016 election by participating in candidate training programs (CTPs). Though running for office is not commonly defined as an activist activity, this article argues that theories of collective action and movement mobilization, rather than those focusing on the psychological aspects of candidate emergence, are better equipped to explain the recent increase of electoral interest. Using EMILY's List—an elite political entity that began as a grassroots social movement organization—as a case, this article integrates scholarship from sociology and political science to examine how feminist activist organizing can impact women's interest in running for public office. I first review the research on women's candidate emergence and CTPs before discussing the electoral movement strategies and the mobilizing impact of the media and collective action frames. The article reviews recent scholarship on the Women's March and the Resistance, then synthesizes the literature to examine EMILY's List and their electoral movement strategies leading up to the 2018 midterm elections. I conclude by suggesting avenues for future research that can bridge the relationship between movements and electoral politics and advance scholarly understanding of how, when, and why women run for office.

“…For example, a study finds that mass media coverage is vital in providing incentives for right‐wing mobilization in Germany (Koopmans and Olzak, ). Another study discovers that more than 90 percent of demonstrator motives can be linked to the relevant arguments in news coverage prior to a protest (Ketelaars, ). Media products such as documentary films can also reshape public discourse and broaden political opportunity in the United States (Vasi et al., ).…”

Media Freedom and Protest Events in the Global South*

Objective. This articles analyzes the relationship between media freedom and protest onset in 60 African and Latin American countries from 1993 to 2015. Additional analysis is conducted to explore such relationship for different types of protest events. Method. The article is based on event history data generated from the Social Conflict Analysis Database, Freedom House, Polity IV, the World Bank, and the International Telecommunication Union, which are analyzed using Cox regression models. Results. The results indicate a consistent curvilinear relationship between media freedom and protest onset. In other words, only when media is severely restricted can it pose a significant threat to protest mobilization. Results also show that spontaneous protest events are more likely to be affected by changes in media freedom than organized protests. Conclusions. This study incorporates media freedom into the study of contentious politics in the Global South. It separately analyzes multiple types of protests instead of lumping them into one category, offering a more detailed pattern of the heterogeneous effect of media freedom in different protest contexts.
