Stranger in a strange land: The divergent views of sociologists and the people they study
Job search methods of low‐income youth: A research note
A quintessential feature of the successful transition from dependent youth to independent adult is accepting a job which results in economic independence. Past studies have used different measures of job search methods and have had conflicting findings on the effectiveness of different methods. The present study of black and white male and female low‐income youth from six Southern states studies pre‐job search behaviors, search behaviors, satisfa…
The Desire for Voluntary Childlessness among Low-Income Youth
Data from 480 males and 466 females from low-income groups in 6 Southern states are used to explore differences betweeen those who state a desire for a childfree life and those who want children. Independent variables include educational and occupational aspirations and expectations labor force intentions of young women age at marriage preference and desires for urban residence. It was found that the high school aged young women who wanted to rem…
A longitudinal study of family size expectations among young blacks and whites
This study is concerned with the stability of family size expectations and the direction of change in such expectations among young people in the United States. "In the...study, 437 low-income respondents, both black and white, male and female, answered a question on expected family size both at high school age and four years later. Respondents varied in their consistency with 78% of those first naming one or two children, but only 9% of those ex…
Middle Childhood Antecedents of Age at Marriage Expectations among Low-Income Females
Marital timing has an important impact on one's life plans. For both theoretical and applied reasons, it would seem desirable to search for antecedents for age at marriage expectations. The major thrust of the present research is on how much of the differences in age at marriage expectations of adolescent girls can be explained by mothering behavior and the girls' self-concepts when they were fifth and sixth graders. Data from 311 Black and White…
Life's predictable unpredictables and the career plans of youth
A review of the status attainment research failed to discover a model that takes into account possible effects of unforeseen, consequential life events on the career plans of youth. The present longitudinal study found that 30.4% of 536 respondents indicated that something major had happened to change their occupational or educational plans in an important way. Race and sex differences were discovered with respect to whether a major happening was…

Marriage and the Family in Modern Science Fiction
IT IS appropriate, I believe, to indicate briefly how I came to choose the subject Marriage and the Family in Modern Science Fiction for my presidential address. I was led to this topic by following two different routes which eventually converged. The first question I asked myself concerned the kind of general message I really wanted to get across; the answer that gradually emerged was that I would hope to reinforce the notion that all of you I a…
Sex Differences in Dating Aspirations and Satisfaction with Computer-Selected Partners
The structural-functional views of Talcott Parsons are used as the rationale for predicting sex differences in dating aspirations and partner satisfaction. Blind dates were arranged for 500 male and 500 female students by an I.B.M. computer. Evidence was found to support the hypotheses that 1) women would have higher aspirations for a dating partner, in the sense of more socially desired characteristics, than would men; and that 2) women would re…
The Measurement of Goal Agreement between Husbands and Wives
OVER THE years, there seems to have been only a sporadic concern with the goals of husbands and wives or the objectives towards which marriage partners strive. Perhaps even more impressive than the general dearth of research on family goals is the specific lack of research relevant to the agreement of husbands and wives concerning their goals. In marriage, after all, we have a man and woman who, whatever their personal aspirations and ambitions, …
Religious Socialization, Present Devoutness, and Willingness to Enter a Mixed Religious Marriage
Self-administered questionnaire responses of 876 unmarried Catholic students at Iowa State University are used in a study of differential willingness to enter a cross-religious marriage. Factors tested for an association with willingness to marry a non-Catholic were: Students' perception of devoutness of home, mother's religion, father's religion, attendance at Catholic grade school, high school and college, students' self-rating of present devou…

This landmark theory of interpersonal relations and group functioning argues that the starting point for understanding social behavior is the analysis of dyadic interdependence. Such an analysis portrays the ways in which the separate and joint actions of two persons affect the quality of their lives and the survival of their relationship. The authors focus on patterns of interdependence, and on the assumption that these patterns play an importan…

Real and Conceived Roles in Family Decision Making
T IS almost tautological that family living requires a certain amount of group decision making. That families differ in the way in which they make decisions and that too little is known of this aspect of family life are probably equally obvious. With this in mind, we have embarked on a long-term empiric study of family decision making, investigating such matters as the roles of various family members in the decision making process, relative influ…
