Modulated Participant-Observation: Managing the Dilemma of Distance in Field Research
Using examples from studies of dance clubs, the authors offer a solution for dealing with the problems of maintaining the optimal research distance in field investigations. This method is based on teamwork, in which one researcher assumes the role of participant-as-observer and the other has the role of observer-as-participant. In addition to describing the developments of the two roles, the authors provide firsthand accounts of common pitfalls i…

The Center and the Peripheral: Functions and Locations of Dance Clubs in Los Angeles
This article attempts to explain the roles that taxi-dance halls and table-dance clubs play in the lives of two population subgroups in Los Angeles: Whites and Asians/Latinos. In this context, it also attempts to account for the center-peripheral geographical pattern of the two types of clubs. By means of modulated participant observation and GIS computer mapping, the authors came to the conclusion that taxi-dance halls are strong in socioemotion…

The baby boom of the late 1980s: Life course of a post‐world war II cohort
This study examines the 1980 surge in birthrates in the context of the life course of women of the post-World War II baby boom. It attempts to describe in more exact detail the role of these women in the 1980 baby boom. Additionally, the study contends that historical time, social time, and life time all have influence on the timing of their reproductive decisions. The data are compiled from reports issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the U.…

Potential Effects of the One-Child Policy on Gender Equality in the People's Republic of China
Notwithstanding the obvious advantages of controlling population growth and the probable problems with old-age security and female infanticide, the one-child program in China could have latent ramifications. It could drastically reduce the size and significance of the patrilineal lineage, promote the popularity of uxorilocal marriage, and encourage women to make nontraditional career choices. The sum of these effects could finally allow China to …
Self-Images of Women Bodybuilders
In analyzing the data from a questionnaire survey of 205 competitive women bodybuilders conducted by the International Federation of Body-Builders, the authors attempt to find out how these women define their roles. What emerges from the analysis is a new concept of femininity that combines aspects of the traditional definitions with added dimensions of muscularity and body symmetry. They see muscularity, fitness, strength, and health as increasi…
Survival of the fastest: On the origin of premature ejaculation
The common problem of premature ejaculation is explained in terms of evolutionary adaptation. Based on findings from primate behaviors, I hypothesize that those protohominids who were rapid ejaculators (perhaps with a highly sensitive glans) were less likely to be repelled by the females and/or attacked by other sexually aroused males. As a result, they had more opportunities to copulate and to impregnate. Thus, the likelihood that speedy ejacula…

Becoming a Taxi-Dancer: The Significance of Neutralization in a Semi-Deviant Occupation
Previous studies of deviant and semi-deviant occupations have reported that workers in these occupations frequently use justifications to explain or defend their occupational behaviors. The present study also finds the same tendency among the taxi-dancers. Most important, we find the learning of justifications plays a significant role in their occupational socialization. Without learning the various techniques to neutralize the unpleasantness of …

Recent Immigrants in the Chinese-American Community: Issues of Adaptations and Impacts
Over half a million people of Chinese ancestry now live in the United States. This number represents more than a 300 percent increase in the last twenty-five years. One of the major factors that has contributed to this dramatic growth is the influx of immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong in recent years. In fact, approximately 50 percent of the ChineseAmericans today are immigrants who came to the United States after the implementation of the 196…

The Role of Women in the People's Republic of China: Legacy and Change
After 25 years of communist rule, women in China have made significant progress toward emancipation. However, some aspects of traditional sex role differentiation still persist in the family. Furthermore, in work outside the home, women still experience discrimination in pay and important jobs. In the political area, women are still discriminated against on the national level. Most of the important government positions are held by men. Although t…

Conjugal Power and Decision Making: A Methodological Note on Cross-Cultural Study of the Family
One of the continuous and perennial problems in family sociology in recent years has been the discussion of conjugal power relations, particularly in cross-cultural work. One of the problems is the conceptual clarification of the phenomenon itself with the concomitant problem of empirical referents in measurement and instrumentation. The authors, over a period of several years, collected data on marital relationships in two Far East cultures; the…
The Association of Religion and Family Structure: The Case of the Hong Kong Family
The hypothesis claiming that changes in the structure of the family are related to religious factors is evaluated in this paper by analyzing a sample of more than 2,000 Chinese families in Hong Kong. Most of the relationships are not strong. However, all of them are consistent. Ancestral cult is found to be associated with the extended form of family; Christianity is found to be related to the rejection of the ancestral cult; Chinese Christians a…

Religious Styles, Dogmatism and Orientations to Change
Hassenger found that Catholic college students have different styles of Catholicism. “Moralistic” Catholics were found to be consistently different from the “Intellectual,” “Apostolic,” and “Humanistic” Catholics. Our study confirms Hassenger's findings. Furthermore, we find that “Moralistic” Catholics are more dogmatic and non-change oriented by using Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale, and Neal's Change-Orientation Scale, respectively. These findings ar…
