Part two
Data from an interview survey of over seventy adult men on the island of Aitutaki in the Cook group were used to explore the physical, psychological, and social correlates of modernization. The data support the conclusion that physical/psychological symptoms and social conflicts tend to covary. Furthermore, those modernizing Aitutakian men who retain their traditional group orientation, rather than adopting a more individualistic strategy, report…

The Economic Payoff of Different Kinds of Education
Urban Indian personality and the 'culture of poverty'1
Culture of poverty" theorists contend that the marginal socioeconomic position occupied by many minority groups within our society is the result of a self-perpetuating poverty "way of life," which includes certain characteristic personality attributes such as a tendency to live for the moment rather than to plan ahead, fatalism, and a lack of ambition. This study brings empirical evidence to bear on this thesis as it applies to one minority group…
Adaptive Strategies in Urban Migration
The Navajo Urban Migrant and his Psychological Situation
Determinants of Urban Migrant Indian Wages
A variety of factors in the background experience of 259 male Navajo Indian migrants to Denver, Colorado are explored in relation to their starting wages in the city. Major determinants are years of education beyond ten, highest wage earned prior to migration, whether the migrant had received skilled vocational training, whether he was married, and whether his father had spent a majority of his time as a wage-laborer. No economic indices of the s…
The Personal Adjustment of Navajo Indian Migrants to Denver, Colorado1
Urban migration creates many adjustment problems for those American Indians who find economic opportunities on their reservations inadequate. Their extremely high rate of arrest in comparison with other urban groups, almost all for drunkenness or drinking-related offenses, is testimony to the extent of their difficulties and the inadequate resources that they possess for coping with them. A systematic investigation of 259 male Navajo Indian migra…
Society, Personality, and Deviant Behavior
Historical Inferences from Guttman Scales
Inferences about historical sequences are frequently drawn from Guttman scales, on the supposition that each item in the scale serves as a "functional prerequisite" for successive items. The validity of such inferences is here called into question on both theoretical and empirical grounds. Logically, such inferences are subject to the same limitations as inferences about the age of a trait based on its geographic distribution (the discredited "ag…

Acculturation, Access, and Alcohol in a Tri-Ethnic Community1
Gross ethnic differences in excessive drinking and other forms of social-problem behavior among Indians, Spanish-Americans, and Anglo-Americans living in a single Southwestern community, as well as a wide range of within-group differences in such behavior, serve as the confronting problem. A random sample of all adults in the community was interviewed, using a variety of structured and semistructured procedures. The differential effects of accult…
Psychological Acculturation in a Tri-Ethnic Community
Alternative Models for the Study of Urban Migration
The Navaho Urban Relocation Research Project has two aims: to learn as much as possible about the process of adjustment to urban life of a non-Westernized migrant group, and to explore how social scientists may best go about investigating such a problem. Research in Denver and on the Navaho reservation has been in progress for the last three years in pursuit of these aims
Values, Expectations and Relocation
Urban migration of non-Westernized, traditional people seeking the benefits of modern industrial society has become a worldwide phenomenon and a problem that will increasingly tax the understanding and insight of both theoretical and applied social scientists. Research into the general area of urban migration and adjustment is extensive and accumulating rapidly. But the difficulty of knowing in advance when a new migrant is expected in a city gen…
Quantitative Research in Proxemic Behavior1
Proxemics is the study of how man structures microspace, how he relates physically to other persons with whom he is interacting, and what is communicated by these physical relationships. Edward Hall, who coined the term "proxemics" and devised a system of notation for recording proxemic behavior, reports many impressionistic observations on Arab and American proxemic differences. To test these hypotheses systematically, 32 Arab and American colle…
