摘要:

Contrary to the belief of many who have read George Homans' recent works, he is not the first sociologist to make explicit use of the concept of exchange. From 1883 to 1885 Albert Chavannes published inThe Sociologista series of papers titled “Studies in Sociology” which treated “The Law of Exchange” and three other social laws. Chavannes' use of the exchange concept was very similar to Homans'. Also, Chavannes emphasized the importance of a systematic empirical sociology but did not contribute to it as Homans has done. This comparison of the two men fills a gap in the history of American sociology and puts Homans' recent contributions in historical perspective.

摘要:

Closer ties between married daughters and their parents than between married sons and their parents, indicated principally by more frequent sharing of households by the former, is attributed to greater compatibility of mothers and daughters than of mothers and daughters-in-law. This is generalized into a cross-cultural hypothesis for predicting avoidance customs involving parents-in-law.

摘要:

Cohort-linked Iowa marriage and divorce records from 1953 through 1959 were used to determine marital survival rates for several types of religiously homogamous and interreligious marriages. Data were restricted to white, first-married couples. Marital survival rates were greater as predicted among homogamous Catholic marriages or homogamous Protestant marriages than among marriages of Catholics and non-Catholics. Also, the marital survival rates of the homogamous Catholic marriages exceeded those of the homogamous Protestant marriages. Contrary to expectations, however, there were only small and inconsistent differences in the survival rates between the marriage of Catholic wives and non-Catholic husbands and marriages of non-Catholic wives and Catholic husbands. Marital survival rates were not substantially different between denominationally homogamous Protestant marriages and marriages between Protestants with different denominational affiliations. Small differences, between two and six percent, were observed between the survival rates of the homogamous Catholic marriages and four types of denominationally homogamous Protestant marriages. p]Ages of brides and the status levels of husbands were used as control variables. Application of these control variables failed to alter the general patterns between the religious affiliations of the spouses and marital survival rates. The two control variables, however, appeared to influence the marital survival rates more than the religious affiliation types. Marital survival rates were lower among couples with younger brides and were directly related to the occupational status of the husbands.

摘要:

Prestige judgments between proposed situs categories were secured from an area probability sample of 340 subjects in order to test the current assumption that situs categories are equally evaluated. The consistency of these judgments suggests, however, that situses are differentially evaluated. Some implications of this finding for situs analysis and several technical problems which were encountered are discussed.

摘要:

Social Psychology is shown as having, in its rejection of grand theory, also abandoned many of its significant problems. The field of social psychology is defined in relation to sociology and psychology. The latter are each dealing with a complete logical system, which may or may not be in conflict or leave certain areas undefined. Social psychology is defined as an interstitial science covering the situations where actions of the individual and the forces of organized society interact. The need for full-range theory is shown and examples are given

摘要:

A survey of the political beliefs of 1,440 students in 16 American colleges and universities reveals that approximately two-fifths have rebelled from what they believe are their parents' political views. The rebellion is overwhelmingly to the left rather than the right of their parents. Most student conservatives merely reflect their conservative family backgrounds, whereas most socialists and liberals have rebelled from a more conservative family tradition. Those students most interested in political matters are most likely to rebel from their parents' beliefs. When the parents hold what the students regard as conventional views, the students are less likely to rebel. If they do rebel from their parents, however, they are more likely to rebel away from conventionality than toward it.

摘要:

The attitudes of eighty white leaders in five Southern communities were studied to see whether desire for new industry was related to moderation on the school desegregation issue. Practically all leaders express (1) desire for new industry, (2) sentiment in favor of segregation, but (3) opposition to extreme measures for preserving segregation (e.g., school closing and violence). The degree of moderation beyond opposition to extremism is not correlated with variations in the degree of favorableness to new industry.

摘要:

Recent research concerning socioeconomic and demographic differences among underdeveloped areas has pointed to the inadequacy of the rate of population growth as a correlate of economic development. It can be shown, for example, that countries having similar rates of growth are characterized by markedly different levels of fertility and mortality, and that these differences in vital rates are indicative of pronounced socioeconomic differences. On the basis of this evidence, it is suggested that not the rate of population growth itself, but the relative balance between the levels of fertility and mortality that give rise to a given growth rate, is the more meaningful measure to consider in relation to economic development.

摘要:

This paper is a condensation of an empirical study of Fort Hall, Idaho, an Indian Reservation of the Shashone-Bannock Tribes. The focus of the paper is upon those areas of the social structure of the community which are reflected in, or seen as contributory aspects to, the psycho-social problems of juvenile and adult delinquency. The categories and incidence of juvenile and adult law violations are selectively presented statistically and evaluated in relation to the above conditions and characteristics within the community and in the interrelationship with the surrounding communities.
