Don't Burn It Here
When first proposed in this country during the 1970s, waste-to-energy (WTE) incinerators appeared to be ideal solutions to the growing mounds of trash in our throw-away society. Promising to convert useless garbage into electricity while saving precious landfill space, trash incinerators seemed perfectly timed to respond to a national need. Within a decade, however, a grassroots anti-incineration movement emerged as a vibrant offshoot of the envi…

Backyards, Nimbys, and Incinerator Sitings
Edward Walsh, Rex Warland, D. Clayton Smith, Backyards, NIMBYs, and Incinerator Sitings: Implications for Social Movement Theory, Social Problems, Vol. 40, No. 1, Special Issue on Environmental Justice (Feb., 1993), pp. 25-38
Backyards, Nimbys, and Incinerator Sitings
Arguing for the usefulness of an analytic distinction between equity and technology movements, this paper examines two siting disputes involving modern incinerators and asks why one was eventually built and the other defeated. Relevant variables for the analysis are identified from the contemporary social movement literature and a special industry report. After an initial focus on surveys of “backyard” residents and “NIMBYs” at the two proposed s…

New dimensions of social movements
Differential Paths to Political Activism
This paper compares political activists from four community protest organizations, formed in response to the March 1979 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. Using survey data, newsletters, and fieldwork, we document the existence of two separate paths to protest involvement. In two communities, recruitment was less likely to occur along the lines of established social networks. Instead, utilitarian alliances grounded on shared g…
The role of target vulnerabilities in high-technology protest movements
Effort and Reward
The relation between college grades and self-reported amount of effort was examined in four major and several minor investigations of undergraduates in a large state university. Grades were operationalized mainly by using grade point average (GPA), though in one investigation grades in a particular course were the focus. Effort was measured in several different ways, ranging from student estimates of typical study over the term to reports of stud…
Jobs, gender, and self‐efficacy in multiple contexts
This paper focuses on the social psychological correlates of being in an occupation that is sex‐typed against one's own gender‐i.e., cross‐sex incumbency in sex‐typed occupations. Male and female high school teachers and university professors are compared in terms of global self‐esteem as well as in three context‐specific dimensions of self‐efficacy. While no differences in global self‐esteem were revealed, a number of significant differences did…
The Charismatic Movement
Social Movement Involvement in the Wake of a Nuclear Accident
Focusing on the community mobilization processes following the Three Mile Island (TMI) accident, this paper presents the first empirical tests of central hypotheses derivedfrom Olson (1965) involving both activists andfree riders in a natural setting. Focusing initially on a randomly selected sample of free riders from the TMI area, we first investigate the extent of, and reasons for, this phenomenon. Free riding in an actual mobilization process…
The Interaction of Grievances and Structures in Social Movement Analysis
Drawing upon insights from the social movement literature as well as leadership experience in a successful social movement organization, this paper suggests aspects of a framework for integrating traditional and contemporary approaches. The case history of JUST (Johnstowners United to Stop anoiuci Tragedy) is used to illustrate the interaction of grievances and structures in the career of a social movement organization. In addition to helping fil…
Prestige, Work Satisfaction, and Alienation
Work dissatisfaction and general alienation of incumbents in seven nonfactory and nonoffice occupations ranging across the prestige hierarchy are examined and compared. Our findings challenge some rather commonly accepted (if seldom tested) social science generalizations. Neither status nor self-direction at the workplace were important predictors of the dependent variables, and the spillover model linking work dissatisfaction to general alienati…
Conflict and Conflict Management
Resource Mobilization and Citizen Protest in Communities around Three Mile Island
The rapid growth and development of social movement organizations around Three Mile Island after the 1979 nuclear accident provide data for assessing and refining theories on social movements. This paper summarizes an intense first year of grass roots mobilization and documents the importance of grievances in precipitating and sustaining protest. The resource mobilization perspective regards discontent as a constant rather than a variable, and ig…
Job satisfaction, self-esteem, and general alienation among three groups of blue-collar service workers
Work satisfaction, self‐esteem, and alienation measures were obtained from white males in three service occupations (bartenders, barbers, and mailmen) at different levels of the occupational prestige hierarchy. While we found an overall positive relationship between work satisfaction and occupational prestige, this only held for variables where societal reference groups were forced upon the respondents. Such findings suggest that the relationship…

Grade Inflation or Better Comprehension
8 months after completing the course. Results indicated that students in the self-scheduled instruction (SSI) option were more likely than others to have chosen their section because of its teaching method and they reported greater learning than did students in the other sections. Their actual learning, as measured by a 30-item examination, was significantly greater than that in other sections. Controls on grade in the course demonstrate that A s…
