摘要:

Systematic study of role conflicts in the modern Japanese family has not received the emphasis it deserves. This suggests that the institution ofie, albeit no longer recognized in the law, was and still ispar excellencesocial. A sociological concept ofieis important in understanding the process whereby ascribed statuses change to achieved statuses. It isinthis process that role conflicts emerge and realistic adjustment is achieved in the modern Japanese family.

摘要:

Recent urban studies in western Europe and the United States have shown the continued importance of kinship ties, contrary to the hypothesis that they tend to disappear in the city. To test this hypothesis on different types of societies, an examination of research done in the West African cities of Brazzaville, Congo; Dakar, Senegal; Lagos, Nigeria; and Leopoldville and Stanleyville, The Congo, was made. It showed that here too kinship ties continued to exist. The extended family served as a source of shelter as well as providing for the economic, religious, legal and recreational needs of its urban members.

摘要:

A major element in the Spanish American rural social organization was the patron-peon pattern. Although the pattern is now in the process of dissolution, the underlying cultural values remain and create many difficulties in the adjustment and acculturation of the Spanish Americans to the dominant English-speaking society of modern New Mexico.

摘要:

This report examines the place of Spanish-name personnel in the occupational structure of ten hospitals in four southwestern communities. The report finds that a small number of the Spanish-name population are in high status occupations, a considerable number are in medium status occupations, and as expected the largest number are in low status occupations. Using the employment of these persons in medium and high status occupations as some measure of assimilation, the authors conclude that the predictions of some social scientists, Warner and Srole in particular, concerning the rate of assimilation of this population are too pessimistic. Warner and Srole's prediction failed to take into account such factors as the consequences of World War II, urbanism, population ratios, the influence of the border area, and the potential for mobility provided by religiously-affiliated organizations.

摘要:

Interview data lend little support to the view that the caste system obstructs occupational change in India. lntergenerational mobility is frequent among rural and urban castes but it is generally confined to occupations of similar rank. Hence, mobility has a negligible effect upon the traditional association between positions in the caste and occupational hierarchies. This association is attributable to differences among castes in educational attainment.

摘要:

Male nurses in a psychiatric hospital were compared and contrasted to their female colleagues with respect to their conceptions of their intra-hospital status and their place in the general stratification system outside the hospital. Within the hospital, the male nurses differed from the females in their views of the other occupational groups with whom nurses are in contact. The men's involvement in an occupation usually reserved for women also affected their view of the general stratification system, especially in terms of a relatively low estimate of their own self-esteem.

摘要:

The occupational aspects of social work analyzed are (1) the type of occupation from the standpoint of authority and sanction, (2) the prestige of social work as a profession, and (3) work satisfactions derived from social work as a profession. The comparative analysis of responses from social workers and university students reveals that the self-image of social work has been transmitted to university students who represent an important element of the public image of social work. The “status dilemma” of social work implied in this analysis gives rise to some concern about the position of an important problem-solving profession in the social structure.

摘要:

In the analysis of data from a college sample, the validity of the Authoritarian Personality Theory of racial and ethnic prejudice is questioned, and thus, through this, the psychologistic approach to the study of social attitudes. A rigorously sociologistic approach is shown to be a better predictor of variations in the data than the Authoritarian thesis, even for the covariations between F-scale scores and scores on two different prejudice scales. The importance of differential learning for understanding variations in racial prejudice is stressed.

摘要:

The operation called “interpretation” has long been considered one of the central tools of causal analysis in survey research. It is suggested that interpretation can be effected by using the method of standardization, a method which has a long tradition in demographic and public health research. A simplified procedure for standardization, which makes it more easily adaptable to survey research problems, is presented.

摘要:

The process of social research consists in abstracting certain features from the environment and reconstituting them in a statement of interrelationships. The large scope of many research efforts and the unreliability of many techniques makes exact transmission of the original facts to a final statement practically impossible. The logical stability or systems approach is demonstrated in such aspects of social research as questionnaire construction, scaling, statistical measures and the use of theory.
