  • Ford: A Village in the West Highlands of Scotland-A Case Study of Repopulation and Social Change in a Small Community

    Ed Knipe, John B Stephenson et al.ARTICLESocial Forces1986

    The Highlands of Scotland, like the southern Appalachians of the United States, have long been a problem area in Great Britain, troubled with a fading economy and loss of population. Most books about the region, however, are popular volumes that romanticize a bygone way of life. This study of Ford, a village of some 160 people in western Argyllshire, thus fills a gap in the literature and provides a look at the present realities of Scottish life.…

    Harry K Schwarzweller, David S Walls et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1973

    In The Southern Appalachian Region: A Survey, published by the University Press of Kentucky in 1962, Rupert Vance suggested a decennial review of the region's progress. No systematic study comparable to that made at the beginning of the decade is available to answer the question of how far Appalachia has come since then, but David S. Walls and John B. Stephenson have assembled a broad range of firsthand reports which together convey the story of …

  • Is Everyone Going Modern? A Critique and a Suggestion for Measuring Modernism

    John B Stephenson, John B P StephensonARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1968Cited by: 16

    Modernization may be defined as a personal and cultural expression of one type of social change, namely, movement of persons along a dimension from what is defined by the cultural norms as traditional to what is considered modern by the same culture. An example is presented of the construction of a Guttman scale based on this usage, which does not assume a universal set of traits of "the modern" or "the traditional." The data are from an Appalach…

  • Religious Prejudice and Intended Voting Behavior

    Richard A Lamanna, John B Stephenson et al.ARTICLESociological Analysis1964

    A typology of religious prejudice is developed which differentiates prejudice based on ignorance or psychological abnormality and prejudice based on a conflict of values, and the extent to which each influences actual behavior. The typology is used to analyze the attitudes of young adult non-Catholics toward Catholics and Catholicism and the relationship of these attitudes to intended voting behavior. The data show that preference for Nixon or Ke…
