摘要:

From a survey of legal Mexican immigrants to the U.S. in late 1973 and early 1974, over 60 percent of the sample report having previously lived in the United States for some time. This suggests the modal path of legal immigration begins with an illegal stay in the U.S. which often makes possible legal entry. Return-immigrants to the U.S. (legal immigrants with prior U.S. residence) have lower socioeconomic origins, educational attainment, and occupational levels than first-time immigrants. While part of the lower occupational attainment of return-immigrants is due to their poorer social origins and educational attainment, most of it can be attributed to their prior residence in the U.S. This effect is interpreted as a measure of the occupational discrimination that was encountered during their prior residence in the United States.

摘要:

The purpose of this inquiry is to determine how access and delay are distributed throughout the social structure. Data from a national survey of health care practices and costs confirm the conventional assumption, which is derived from a simple exchange model, that delay in doctors' offices is inversely related to income. However, the data also show that the poor, with or without appointments, wait longer at private offices as well as clinics, and that blacks wait longer than whites regardless of their income, appointment status, or source of care. Further analysis suggests that income and race are associated with waiting time because concentrations of family doctors are centered in the most affluent sectors of the white community. At the core of these concentrations, doctors compete for clients; at the periphery, clients compete for doctors. Separate race and income effects on delay exist because residential segregation by income and race are independently superimposed on one another. The ecological distribution of service units thus affects the time costs of their clientele. This fact is one manifestation of the overarching linkage between class, status, time, and space.

摘要:

This study investigates the correlation between 31 social life tests within and across groupings by title, by concept, and by factor weights; also the principal dimensions of the 107 items appearing in those tests. Unadjusted test correlations tend to be larger within groupings than across them; however, correlations adjusted for overlapping items show little or no difference within and between groupings. Item correlations contain eight significant (as defined) dimensions; corresponding factor scores were interpreted to be measures of pessimism, depression, cynicism, anxiety, fatalism, job morale, life satisfaction, and personal morale. The findings on the whole suggest that the number of social life attitude tests in use in sociology is excessive and that a smaller number would suffice.
