Expressive Movement and Performance: Toward a Unifying Theory
All manner of performance involves distinctive actions and draws its character from patterns, but the role of performance can be so taken for granted that it is easily ignored. Analysis of expressive performance promises discovery, not trivial observation. Movement has direct impact the emotional-interactional contexts which we participate with spoken words more properly seen as modifiers, dependent for their meanings on the patterns sound and de…
Anthropology: General Science or Academic Rag-Bag
The role of the guest editorialist has its ambiguities. This is particularly evident in that what I take to be the editorial definition of the purposes which Practicing Anthropology is intended to fulfill appears to me far removed from the realities and potentials of anthropology
Must Anthropology Remain Inglorious
The Unbounded Reaches of Anthropology as a Research Science, and Some Working Hypotheses
The Science of Humanics: Multidisciplinary Renaissance of General Anthropology
Discussions of the scope and proper definition of anthropology make it worthwhile to outline why and how anthropology can be treated as a natural (and exact) science. The paper describes its multidisciplinary components and how the deterministic properties of biological individuality and the probabilistic constraints of the cultural dimensions can be brought together. Such a synthesis enables us to treat values within a biological framework and s…

Prestige and Culture: A Biosocial Interpretation [and Comments and Replies]
Examination of human prestige-striving in phylogenetic perspective suggests it to be essentially homologous with primate social dominance. In our own species, however, selection for "cultural capacity" has transformed striving for social dominance into striving to evaluate the self as being higher in rank than others or, in other words, into striving for self-esteem. We maintain self-esteem through symbolic means, usually referred to as seeking "…

On Ethnic Unit Classification [and Comments and Reply]
This paper discusses the general concept of the basic culture-bearing unit and proposes a new definition-the cultunit. This proposal is a response to the need for units of cross-cultural surveys to be comparable and to be rigorously defined if these studies are to be validated statistically. Such anthropologists as Schapera, Berndt, Whiting, Evans-Pritchard, Reichard, Radcliffe-Brown, Fortes, Ember, Murdock, Nadel, Leach and Driver have given muc…

Situational' Interactions - A Worthwhile Concept: Comment and Rejoinder
Frank B. Miller's "‘Situational’ Interaction"—a Worthwhile Concept?" uses me as a foil to justify his position that what he calls situational interactions are a necessary addition to methods of describing interaction. Since the author says that I "led the way in considering originating or responding as the only way in which an individual may participate in interactional events," perhaps I may be permitted to comment on Dr. Miller's paper
Behavioral Definitions of Personality and Temperament Characteristics
When the anthropologist, in the course of his field work, becomes interested in the individual he is aware, intuitively at least, that the ways people in one culture behave are strikingly different on the average from those in another. If he becomes seriously concerned with describing these differences and trying to ascertain how they come about, he tends to think of himself as embarking on the study of what in American anthropology is called "cu…
Contributions of Anthropology to Institutional Psychiatry
An examination of the practice of psychiatry in industry—and, for our purposes, this includes all hierarchically-organized institutions, whether business, industry, or government, or philanthropy or education—highlights in a striking fashion the present difficulties of psychiatry itself. It would be preferable, then, to take a look at psychiatry first, before discussing the contributions of anthropology to the practice of psychiatry in the instit…
The Standard Experimental (Stress) Interview as Used in Interaction Chronograph Investigations
The purpose of the standard experimental interview is to obtain an adequate sample of the behavior of an individual that will predict with a high degree of accuracy how he or she will act in everyday life. In order to do this effectively, it has been necessary to create a pattern of interviewing that will yield consistent results no matter who conducts the interview. The fundamental importance of completely standardizing the interviewer's behavio…

Report of the Committee on Ethics
Consideration of the development of a code of professional ethics for applied anthropologists was inaugurated at a panel discussion at the spring meeting held in New York in May, 1946. It was there moved that a committee be appointed to explore the subject further. This committee made its first report at the business meeting in Chicago in December, 1946. On the basis of the discussion at that meeting, a revised draft was circulated to the entire …

Organization Problems in Industry
At the present time, under the stress of preparing for national defense, the public is becoming increasingly familiar with some of the problems of industry. Before we became aware of the degree to which our national existence depended on the efficiency of our industrial plant, our attitude towards industry and its products was much like that of a child with a toy electric train. We thought that it was wonderful that such things could be made, but…

A New Life History form, with Instructions for its Use
Methods of obtaining case histories have heretofore been attempts to select the significant aspects of the personality development. In practice the interviewer decides upon certain topics which are regarded as relatively independent of one another (school history, social history, medical history and the like); about each topic the subject is questioned concerning his attitudes, sentiments and feelings, with little reference to his actual behavior…
Clinical Implications of Measurements of Interaction Rates in Psychiatric Interviews
Measurements suited to the description and comparison of different psychiatric disorders are still in their infancy. Achievement tests for various functions such as memory, judgment, and reasoning, it is true, are widely used, and some attempts have been made through the so-called projective methods to obtain comparable pictures of the subjective state of the patient, but these are not measurements comparable to the procedures used in physiology …

Anthropological Engineering: Its Use to Administrators
Those of us who work as anthropologists on problems of present-day society are often asked two questions: first, What is anthropology? and, second, What good is it? The confusion in the mind of the layman implied by his need to ask these questions is, of course, due to the fact that he associates anthropology with such apparently useless occupations as measuring skulls or studying the unwashed cannibals, and the anthropologist has done little to …
An Analysis of the Pequot Mill Strike
Editorial Note: This article represents a continuation of the series of Reviews of the Literature, instituted under the direction of Charles F. Harding, III. It is presented in article form, however, because a good deal of reinterpretation and reorganization of the material had to be done in order to make explicit the causes of the strike at the Pequot Mills. Consequently, in reading this article it must be understood that the interpretation is t…
