Consideration of communications phenomena at the individual or personal level and at the level of socially organized mass communications introduces additional research opportunities and further complexity. A typical finding in commercial audience research relates communications behavior to a single social characteristic of the audience. In Social Th…

• The command economy as an adaptive structure

  Open Access•Richard E Hilbert, Charles R Wright et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Classical Sociology•2017

  Añadir item

  We open with a discussion of the Parsonian solution to the 'problem of order' in human societies, emphasising the functional significance of 'adaptive structures' in that solution. Adaptive structures adapt the dominant structure of a society to the realistic conditions of its existence. We then argue that the Command Economy of World War II is an example of an adaptive structure in that it adapted the American system of free-enterprise capitalis…

  The study of mass communications is a broad, multidisciplinary field to which sociology has made major contributions.

Several chapters in Annual Review of Psychology, although not explicitly sociological in orientation, report on communication studi…

  A small but noteworthy increase in the percentage of American adults who belong to voluntary associations has occurred since the mid-1950's (the date of an earlier study of this topic by the authors), as documented through several replications of national sample surveys. These same replications also confirm a major generalization of the earlier study that such membership is less common than had been assumed; indeed, voluntary association membersh…
