The Sociocultural Context of Sport and Health: Problems of Causal Relations and Structural Interdependence
The review of existing research shows the health impacts of sport mainly on the cardiovascular system. Other causal relations are less firm, and results for the skeleton and accidents appear to be negative. Results of the American-German Health Study of 1985 confirm such results and indicate that sports’ interdependence with health culture is stronger than a supposedly causal impact on indicators of health status
Jahre deutscher Nachkriegssoziologie — Institutionalisierung und Theorie
Die Entwicklungen der deutschen Soziologie nach 1945 können verstanden werden als Aufbau einer Wissenschaft aus dem Nichts sowie als Eintritt einer Disziplin in eine statusbewußte Wissenschaftsgemeinde und in die traditionelle Struktur der deutschen Universität. In der Theorie und Methodologie bedeutete das den Schritt von geringem Methodenbewußtsein in der Auseinandersetzung mit den Folgen des Nazismus und den Versprechungen des Marxismus bis hi…
Years of German Sociology after World War II: Institutionalization and Theory
L’institutionalisation de la sociologie allemande selon de Solla Price (1963) n’a pas suivie un courant de développement similaire à une science normale. La première phase, charactérisée par un développement très lent, fut suivie par une grande expansion parallèle à la réforme en éducation et universités. Ceci a contribué à transformer la sociologie d’une «petite science» en une «grosse science.» Une telle interprétation est plutôt en fonction du…
Max Weber, Formal Rationality, and Health Lifestyles
Max Weber's concept of formal rationality and ideas about lifestyles in general are applied to current trends in health lifestyles. The central contribution of Weber's thinking is recognition of the dialectical interplay between formal versus substantive rationality, consumption versus production, choice versus life chances, class similarities versus distinctions, and self-control versus conformity in shaping health life-styles and the reality of…

The Specificity of Status Crystallization and its Meaning in Sport
Sport appears to be particularly geared to test out contradictory results in status crystallization research as it allows the identification of conditioning variables with a high level of specificity (Malewski). The potentials of extending crystallization theory and research to rank crystallization, i.e. within group/team ranks, is outlined but not followed in the present analysis. Results based on samples of adults and of athletes in 6 different…
On Theory of Science for the Sociology of Sport: New Structuralism, Action, Intention and Practical Meaning
In the tradition of an empirically oriented action theory and von Brentano the sociology of sport as playful competition should contribute to a unified sport science, to sociology proper and it should reflect on its methodology and theory of science. New structuralism (Stegmßüßller, Sneed) is being advocated for theory-building. The basic intentionality in sport is being pursued with von Wright for individual motivation, institutionalized norms, …

Towards a New Structural Analysis - the Present State and the Prospects of the International Sociology of Sport
There is now expansion of sociology of sport in countries of the Third World at the same time that there is overall saturation on a level of continued high productivity. Major national centers reflect in topical areas problems of their society or their form of sport organization. Theoretical sophistication is limited. It is suggested that sociology of sport not only continue to emphasize topics genuine to the field of sport such as conflict, stra…

Status Crystallization, Social Class, Integration and Sport
Consistent with Lenski's theory of status crystallization, a pilot study shows that athletes have comparatively low status crystallization; moreover, those with high levels of performance crystallize even lower. Obviously, sport and high sport performance compensate for status inconsistency. Contrary to Lenski, low-crystallized individuals try to gain influence in their groups and clubs, while the high-crystallized show more general social contac…

Cooperation, association, and contest
Contest in sport occurs when at least two units (individuals or teams) compete under specific rules and agreements, for superiority in a nonrepresentative skill or strategy. The competitors are defined as equal at the beginning of the contest, and unequal at the end: one is the winner or gets the higher rank. In regard to the reward, which can be set by an outside party or organization as well as by the opponents themselves, a sport contest is a …

Die Theoretische und Methodische Bedeutung der Familiensoziologie
Wenn René König vor fast 25 Jahren der Familiensoziologie eine zentrale Stellung in der Soziologie zuwies1, so hat sich eine solche Zentralität vorwiegend in der Zahl der Publikationen und weniger in ihrer theoretischen Relevanz für die allgemeine Soziologie dokumentiert. Besonders in der deutschen Soziologie standen soziale Probleme um die Familie im Vordergrund, wobei diese vor allem durch soziale und politische Attraktivität bestimmt waren. Th…

Family, Ritual and Secularization: A Cross-National Study Conducted in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany and Ireland
A partir des résultats d'une étude dans plusieurs pays aux degrés divers de modernisation, la fonction du rituel familial se dégage dans le sens d'une actualisation des liens familiaux et d'un renforcement de la famille nucléaire. Le rituel spéci fique de la Noël devient plus orienté vers la famille qu'orienté vers l'Eglise, tandis que soumis à un changement révolution naire, il perd la plus grande partie de son sens et de sa fonc tion. Malgré le…

Psychologischer Reduktionismus und informelle Beziehungen im Wettkampf
Beim psychologischen Reduktionismus in der Soziologie, d. i. die Erklärung soziologischer Tatbestände auf der Basis psychologischer Sätze (Propositionen), geht es um drei separate Teilfragen, von denen nur die beiden ersten als tatsächlicher Reduktionismus bezeichnet werden können. Diese Teilfragen stellen sich in der soziologischen Diskussion dar als 1. die Frage des psychologischen Regresses als dogmatische Regel; 2. das heuristische Problem de…

Epistemological Problems and the Personality and Social System in Social Psychology
If we understand social psychology to be an area where sociology and psychology overlap, or more precisely where we try to explain interaction on the basis of psychological and sociological propositions and concepts, we have singled out a field that should be quite challenging not only in theory and method but in the fundamental questions it raises for both sociology and psychology. Actually, the discipline is not that well integrated and is cons…

Organization and Policies of National Olympic Committee — Problems of methodology, access and the results of a pilot - study
Problems of methodology and access are discussed for a pilot project dealing with the organizational structure and policies of 21 National Olympic Committees. In using the expert opinion of leading executives (presidents or general secre taries) by mailed questionnaire in each of these NOCs the study finds them mainly independent organizations as prescribed by IOC rules. But there are also some controlled by other bodies or government agencies. T…
