摘要:

Over the last quarter of a century, the educational selectivity of interregional migration has varied somewhat among time periods, age groups, and interregional streams; but there have been a number of persistent tendencies, particularly with respect to migration to and from the South. In general, interregional migration tends to be selective of the better educated. Within age, sex, and color groups, interregional migrants tend to be better educated than nonmigrants at their origin or destination. The net effect of this selectivity upon the educational distribution of the population in the regions has been rather slight, however.

摘要:

Multiple regression equations are developed for U. S. graduate student migration by state, using 1958 state of origin and destination data, for estimating the number of out-migrants, the destination of out-migrants from one state, and for predicting in-migrants to states. Factors found to be associated with graduate student migration include the number of faculty in the state, institutional density, urbanization, college educated adult males in the population, number of fellowships and assistantships, and the Zipf hypothesis. This application of regression is evaluated in relation to H. ter Heide's review of migration models.

摘要:

The article explores the proposition, “as community power becomes increasingly rationalized, the local sociocultural system will become less parochial and increasingly similar to the national system.” Apower structure indexand aculture element indexare established and applied to 19 community studies drawn from eight Latin American countries. Communities with less than 70 percent of the national culture elements are analyzed to derive a model of community power and sociocultural change in Latin America. The model suggests that the movement from folk to national cultural orientation at the community level is stimulated by an expanding population and brought about when the structure of community power loses its dependence upon local religious-magic institutions and assumes a greater autonomy.

摘要:

Sources of information vary with the farmers' socioeconomic status and type of practice for which information is sought. When the farmers are divided into three groups—innovators, early adopters, and late adopters—according to immediacy of response to an innovation—the innovators are found to utilize institutionalized sources, while late adopters rely more upon noninstitutionalized sources. The position of early adopters is intermediate. This relationship was tested by interviewing 246 farm families of Baraset region in West Bengal, India, about their sources of information for nine improved agricultural practices.

摘要:

This paper describes and analyzes the class structure of Haiti. It reveals that the disparity between the privileged and non privileged segments has not changed greatly since colonial days. Approximately six percent of the population share the power and wealth of the country. Class conflict is manifest not so much between the “haves” and “havenots” but within the ranks of the privileged: between the traditional mulatto bourgeoisie which has the wealth and prestige and the new “brown” middle class which has gained the political power in recent years. A brief description of each stratum illustrated by case studies is given.

摘要:

This study explores the extent to which attitude disparity, liberalism, and alienation from society are related to tolerance. It was found that tolerance increased with liberalism and decreased with increasing attitude divergence from the target. No clear relationship between alienation and tolerance emerged. The largest proportion of respondents expressed verbal tolerance. The major implication was drawn that intolerance may always be a potential concomitant of human diversity.

摘要:

The present study in attempting to measure the relationship between racial attitudes and overt behavior askedSsto pose for a photograph with a Negro of the opposite sex. Discrepancies between verbal attitudes and subsequent overt behavior involving those attitudes was found in 59 percent of the cases. The relationship between attitude (prejudice) and behavior (discrimination) is seen to be a function of the level of social involvement with the attitude object as well as the amount of prior experience with it. One implication of the study is that statements or predictions of racial behavior based on attitude measurements have little reliability unless first validated empirically.

摘要:

Data from the recentNewsweekPoll of American Negroes are analyzed. Specifically, those data are examined which deal with the attitudes of Negroes toward the role of Jews in the cause of Negro rights. In general, it was found that Negroes have relatively favorable attitudes toward Jews. Although a plurality gave “not sure” responses, few voiced negative feelings.

摘要:

A theory of friendship is proposed which emphasizes the importance of the interaction process to the participants' choice of friends. It is suggested that persons will prefer for friends those with whom they have experienced encounters which are validating, successful and effective. Validation is defined as the correspondence between the actor's self-image and the impression of others; success is defined as the favorableness of the other's responses; and effectiveness is defined as the correspondence between the self actor intended to project and the other's impression. The major implication of the theory is tested in the small group setting and the results indicate the empirical validity of the theoretical propositions.

摘要:

Several recent studies as well as theoretical writings indicate the fruitfulness of conceptualizing leadership as associated with differentiation of roles based on functional problems. Findings of a field study of a small social system are reported as to its types of leaders and role structure. While the findings are similar to those reported by others, there are significant departures. The most important difference is in association with the system problem of goal-attainment. The data indicate that system problems are not in themselves sufficient to predict the pattern of role differentiation or the types of leadership which occur in all social systems.
