Social factors, treatment, and survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the importance of socioeconomic status, race, and likelihood of receiving surgery in explaining mortality among patients with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Analyses focused on Black and White individuals 75 years of age and younger (n = 5189) diagnosed between 1980 and 1982 with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer in Detroit, San Francisco, and Seattle. The main outcome measure was months of survival …
Welfare Justice
The welfare state has become increasingly unfair, the author argues, and in this book he analyzes developments and failings of welfare arrangements. The text looks to policy-makers to develop programmes that balance the rights and responsibilities of citizens

Determinants of VA Utilization
By the end of the decade, fully one half of American males aged 65 years and over will be veterans. In anticipation of the increased demand for medical services, the Veterans Administration recently commissioned a survey of the needs of aging veterans. From a national probability sample, approximately 34,500 households were screened to yield interviews with 3,013 veterans aged 55 years and over. Using multivariate regression analyses, the present…
The Future of Sociology
A review of changes in sociology since World War II is provided from the author's perspective. Major shifts include the growth in sociology and social science in general of technical expertise, but also of challenges to sociology as a science that can do work. Some aspects have been facilitated, such as the availability of clerical help (machines) and typing (machines), but the basic problems of the science have not changed. A major limitation is…
A Cautionary Note on the Use of Principal Components Analysis
Principal components analysis and common factor analysis can provide similar results; however, to assume the results will be similar can lead to serious error. A simple example is provided to show how results can be substantially different
Mistaking Labor Market Effects for Unequal Treatment in Regression Analysis
Unequal treatment is defined as requiring a more severe test for one person to get a position or reward than for another. It is shown how a changing labor market can generate differences between the average amount of salary paid to men and women in the absence of unequal treatment. It is then demonstrated by generated models how using imperfectly measured independent variables commonly will not take account of the labor market effect in an applic…
Social Measurement
Aging and Retirement
This text is well-organized, readable, and well-documented. It offers many suggestions for research and attempts to provide a concise overview of the rather complex topics of aging and retirement as well as some insight into the future evolution of retirement prospects, planning, and policy. The contents of this text would be especially meaningful for those nurses who deal with older clients in the community setting.' -- Journal of Gerontological…

Level of Measurement
The distinctions between nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio measurement were popularized by S. S. Stevens. Unfortunately, positions taken by Stevens have often been disseminated without criticism. One problem is the common assumption that 'ordinal' statistics are the best statistics to use for presumed noninterval continuous social variables, when, in fact, they use addition, subtraction, and division, which make the measurements interval by d…
Special Issue on Measurement
In this special issue of Sociological Methods and Research, we have assembled a set of essays that illustrate the state of the measurement art within sociology. Some of the papers are theoretical and others are applied. Our aims are two: to stimulate further theoretical research in the area of sociological measurement, and to provide the researcher with some practical applications. The growth in interest in sociological measurement is relatively …

breakdowns in communication are but a few of the symptoms of faulty group structure. Evidence of these should be identified in training and either corrected through training or appropriate changes should be made in crew composition. Participation in the activities of a group under survival conditions calls for skills in individual behavior for which all members are not adequately equipped, leading to tension, ineffectiveness, panic and withdrawal…

Some Limitations On Generalizability From Social Psychological Experiments
The experimental model has severe limitations that often are ignored by experimenters. The limitations are likely to account for the low level of external validity of experiments. Placing the model in the context of requirements for measurement emphasizes the limitations and suggests alternatives for improvements in the future

A Technique for Improving Cumulative Scales
This paper introduces what is called the H-technique for building cumulative scales with increased precision. The method simply consists of determining a given cutting point in a Guttman or Lazarsfeld latent distance scale not by means of a single response but rather by means of several responses, which are formed into a new “contrived item.” The objective is to maximize the information available from the basic data, and hence to strengthen confi…
