On Formalizing Theory
Robert K. Merton, the theorist, has always known a good deal more about statistics than most sociologists. The first, the matrix representation of sociograms, is of interest because its use clarifies and operationalizes concepts that Merton was able to handle less incisively with his verbal theory. Social psychologists have been bothered by the chaos that the circles and lines of a sociogram may assume when there are more than a few individuals i…
Delinquency Research
This remarkable guide to delinquency studies was co-winner of the 1968 C. Wright Mills Award for the best book in the field of social problems. The work is in effect three books in one: a forthright account of how to analyze survey data, a penetrating critique of delinquency research, and a set of original essays on methodology. It is a landmark work that continues to serve as an essential tool for those who both study and want to learn about dev…

Experimenter Effects in Behavioral Research
Recherches en délinquance. Principes de l'analyse quantitative
Durkheim, Booth and Yule
Except perhaps for a few diehards, no sociologist today would think of conducting a large-scale empirical investigation of numerical data without a firm grasp of statistical methods-or at least a graduate assistant who has such a grasp. The old polemics about statistics in social research have died away and are now lost to view under a blizzard of statistical findings in journal articles and books. Asked to date the period when statistical analys…

Two Dimensions of Cohesiveness in Small Groups
A factor analysis of 19 possible indicators of cohesiveness in 20 college living groups yields two dimensions, one labelled social satisfaction and the other sociometric cohesion. These two dimensions are necessary for the interpretation of various aspects of group behavior and individual behavior in groups, such as the relations between factionalism and participation in group activities and the changes in group behavior accompanying turnover in …

The unimportant differences found within the upper, middle, and lower SES categories suggest that finer SES discriminations are of little value in studies of childrearing attitudes. However, further work involving comparisons of high, moderate, and low status-aspiration groups within each major SES category still seems desirable; refinements such as those suggested by degree of status cong…

Durkheim's Suicide and Problems of Empirical Research
The theoretical content of Suicide has been thoroughly discussed, but relatively little attention has been paid to the ways in which Durkheim tested and refined his theories with empirical data. Durkheim's empirical analyses are multivariate: each additional variable is systematically incorporated into the relationships that have perviously been studied. The analyses are also replicative: the same relationship is studied in widely varying context…
