Dependency, Techno-Economic Heritage, Disarticulation, and Social Development in Less Developed Nations
This analysis investigates the proposition that disarticulation explains the effects of dependency and techno-economic heritage on social development. The results show that disarticulation does not act as a major intervening or mediating structure between dependency and social development, nor does it account for the effects of techno-economic heritage on social development. Disarticulation is found to have a modest curvilinear effect on social d…
Economic Disarticulation and Social Development in Less-Developed Nations
This study investigates the thesis that disarticulated economic structures explain the effects of economic dependency, especially foreign investment, on social development. The research incorporates alternative conceptions and measures of economic dependency and examines the net effects of these alternative measures on (a) disarticulation and (b) social development net of disarticulation and level of economic development. Using cross-national dat…

Social Psychological Effects of Literacy by Language Combinations in an African Society
According to the 'autonomous' model, literacy in any language produces uniform consequences for individuals such as interest in current affairs, personal efficacy, status aspiration, and logical thinking. This view is countered by the 'ideological' model which holds that consequences vary across languages depending upon the processes through which literacy is acquired and the purposes for which it is intended. These competing views are tested wit…
Islamic and Western Educational Accommodation in a West African Society
Theories of the global expansion of Western mass education tend to assume the replacement of indigenous educational systems. Data from two surveys of youth in an Islamic, West African city, conducted five and nineteen years after national independence, indicate a convergence in the social forces that predispose attendance in the new and old systems. Using a standard nine-variable model of educational attainment, offive variables that had signific…
Provincialism and Internationalism in Contemporary American Sociology
This study examines the relative degree of culture-boundedness in mainline American sociological research in 1985 compared with British research at the same time and with American research two decades earlier Culture-boundedness is defined in terms of two dimensions: (a) the extent to which data are included from societies other than the local society (non-localism) and (b) the extent to which the possibilities of international influence and of v…

The Consequences of Segregation
Athletes are not inferior students
Intersociety and Intrasociety Correlations of Occupational Prestige
The possibility that recent evidence of international similarity in occupational prestige may be a spurious result of oversampling of students and other "modern" respondents in non-industrialized society studies is discussed and examined with survey data from Hausaland, a traditional, non-industrial society in northern Nigeria. Correlations between NORC prestige evaluations and evaluations of "modern" and "traditional" Nigerian respondents fail t…
