Radicalism in the Contemporary Age
Roots of Radicalism
When Roots of Radicalism first appeared. Nathan Glazer noted "this is a major work on the relationship between radical politics and psychological development." He went on to predict "no one will be able to write about the left and radicalism without taking it into account." Now finally available in a paperback edition, with a new introduction, the reader can evaluate just how prescient the authors are in their review of the student radical moveme…

Environmental Cancer—A Political Disease?
Media reports on environmental cancer are frequent and frightening. Public policy and public spending reflect widespread concern over the presence of carcinogens in our air and water and food. Yet how reliable is mass media information about environmental cancer? How accurate are the risk assessments that underlie our public policy decisions? In this provocative book, S. Robert Lichter and Stanley Rothman examine the controversies surrounding env…

Politics and Professional Advancement Among College Faculty
This article first examines the ideological composition of American university faculty and then tests whether ideological homogeneity has become self-reinforcing. A randomly based national survey of 1643 faculty members from 183 four-year colleges and universities finds that liberals and Democrats outnumber conservatives and Republicans by large margins, and the differences are not limited to elite universities or to the social sciences and human…

Biases about Man-made Cancer among Researchers
Can sociological variables significantly predict researchers' positions on a scientific issue? Carcinogenesis offers a good test case because it is not definitively established how important man-made substances are as contributors to human cancer. American cancer researchers divide on this issue, some broadly emphasizing the importance of man-made carcinogens, others consistently minimizing their importance relative to natural carcinogens. We fin…

Elite Ideology and Risk Perception in Nuclear Energy Policy
Changing U.S. attitudes toward new technologies are examined, as are explanations of such changes. We hypothesize that increased concern with the risks of new technologies by certain elite groups is partly a surrogate for underlying ideological criticisms of U.S. society. The question of risk is examined within the framework of the debate over nuclear energy. Studies of various leadership groups are used to demonstrate the ideological component o…

Survey of expert opinion on intelligence and aptitude testing
Psychologists and educational specialists with expertise in areas related to intelligence testing responded to a questionnaire dealing with a wide variety of issues constituting the IQ controversy. Overall, experts hold positive attitudes about the validity and usefulness of intelligence and aptitude tests. Tests are seen as adequately measuring most important elements of intelligence, although the tests are believed to be somewhat racially and s…

Marginality and Liberalism Among Jewish Elites
Although much has been written about the Jewish proclivity toward liberalism, little has been written about elites who are Jewish. This article extensively compares American elites, both Jewish and non-Jewish, on a wide variety of social, economic, and political attitudes. Jewish elites are found to be consistently more liberal than their non-Jewish counterparts on four different measures of liberalism. We find small differences between religious…
Elite vs. Mass Opinion
This paper extends Converse's classic comparison of the relative constraint of élite and mass belief systems first by analyzing ideological consistency on several independent dimensions of liberalism and then by examining consistency among different élite groups. We find that élite attitudes are more consistent than mass attitudes on the collectivist liberalism dimension but not on the expressive individualism dimension, thus requiring a partial …
Personality, Ideology and World View
For some time we have been engaged in a large scale study of various leadership strata in the United States. Our goal is to clarify similarities and differences in background, ideology and personality among members of such strata. We are also interested in the relationship between these variables and the manner in which members of different leadership groups perceive ‘reality’. This article reports preliminary findings on two groups – leading bus…

Ideology Authoritarianism and Mental Health
During the 1960s, social scientists tended to view the young people who comprised the new left as part of a or postmaterialist generation which was likely to bring about afar better world. These young people were favorably contrasted with their more Authoritarian peers in study after study. In the 1970s this image was partially replaced by one which suggested that late capitalism was producing a generation of narcissists. Following a critique of …
Jewish Ethnicity and Radical Culture
looks and employed permissive or child-rearing techniques. By the late 1960s, these findings coalesced into a coherent psychopolitical explanation of student radicalism: New Leftists were psychologically by their socially and culturally privileged family backgrounds. Their protest represented a struggle between what Hampden-Turner (1971, p. 364) has called the developmental and humanist themes of the affluent intelligentsia and the repressive the…

Two American commentators have criticized the vagueness of certain terms and a British observer has noted that, somehow, empirical research on group behavior rarely makes use of the theoretical schemes which have been devised.But surely if we are to accept the claim of the grou…

Is Opposition to Nuclear Energy an Ideological Critique
In the June 1987 issue of this Review, Stanley Rothman and S. Robert Lichter offered evidence to support their argument that “the new environmental movement in the United States is partly a symbolic issue,” that elites in the news media and in public interest groups misrepresent the dangers of nuclear energy as a surrogate for more direct criticism of liberal capitalism in the United States. In this controversy, Charles J. Helm expresses skeptict…

Marxism and the Paradox of Contemporary Political Thought
With all the volumes that have been written about Marx and Marxism in recent years, there has beenlittle or no attempt, in the English-speaking world at least, to relate his thinking to the general development of modern European philosophic speculation. Fundamentally this is because Marx has received short shrift as a philosopher. Both English and American commentators have been almost entirely concerned with his role as “social scientist” and po…

The Revival of Classical Political Philosophy
Perhaps no single individual has had as much impact on the discipline of political science during the past several years as has Leo Strauss of the University of Chicago. Both he and his disciples (and they are disciples in the "classical" sense) have engaged in a full scale attack upon the premises underlying the contemporary study of politics.Strauss argues that these premises are illfounded and self-contradictory, and, if taken seriously, lead …

The Lamentable Side of Researching in Chile
Language problems and cultural differences are only two of several barriers to empirical research in Chile, reports Professor Rothman of Smith College. Others, which he encountered, are red tape, the lack of prior research that is of behavioral orientations, and an unwillingness among Chileans to share data or engage in co operative research

Sigmund Freud and the Politics of Marginality
Relying heavily upon Freud's greatest work, The Interpretation of Dreams , Professors Carl Schorske and William McGrath have attempted to increase our understanding of the origins of psychoanalysis. Both authors feel that the key to Freud's discoveries lies in his reaction to the sociopolitical realities of late nineteenth-century Vienna, and while the articles differ somewhat in emphasis their arguments are sufficiently similar so that they can …
