The "Fate of Idealism" Revisited
This article, based on field research of a cohort of students enrolled in an innovative medical school, traces the transformation of idealism among student doctors. Our findings show that loss of idealism goes beyond a temporary diversion caused by situational demands of medical school. Rather it is inherent in the very demands of professionalization. We begin by describing students' changing perceptions of the importance of psychosocial issues i…

Taking on the Role of Doctor: A Dramaturgical Analysis of Professionalization
This paper applies dramaturgical analysis to the study of professional socialization in an innovative medical school. Using concepts from the theater, professionalization is seen as critically involving performances before legitimating audiences. The data were collected by means of participant observation and interviews of a cohort of students as they proceeded through the professionalizing career.Good acting demands that you are convincing in yo…
Ritual Evaluation of Competence: The Hidden Curriculum of Professionalization in an Innovative Medical School Program
Neophyte uncertainty and adaptations to it are themes found in studies of socialization into various professions. Students experience ritual ordeals of uncertainty and perceive that professionalization involves learning to enact a symbolic role that meets others' expectations. For students, both in traditional medical schools and in an innovative school we studied, professionalization involves selective learning and careful self-presentations to …

Learning Real Feelings: A Study of High Steel Ironworkers' Reactions To Fear and Danger
This paper describes how the author came to learn, through nine months of participant observation, how high steel ironworkers feel and act towards the dangers of their work. Ironworkers define much of their work situation as dangerous, and have developed, out of interactions about this common problem, collectively shared perspectives for enhancing control over the work situation. These processes of control include testing and assessing other work…

Human Systems in Extreme Environments: A Sociological Perspective
Size and Structure in Complex Organizations
A path model of structural change and growth for complex organizations was constructed to investigate relationships between organizational size and spatial, vertical, and horizontal complexity. It was estimated using data from a heterogeneous sample of federal and state agencies located in California. The findings alter and extend the explanatory scheme and the generalizability of Blau's formal theory of differentiation, as well as recent modific…
The Professionalization of Medical Students: Developing Competence And A Cloak of Competence
This paper describes how medical students in an innovative educational setting adopt a cloak of competence as a critical part of the professionalization process. Faced with inordinate and variable expectations to develop and display competence, students professionalize by distancing themselves from those they interact with and by adopting and manipulating the symbols of their new status. Students were observed to engage in impression management t…

The Stages of the High-steel Ironworker Apprentice Career
This paper describes the contingencies and stages of the ironworker apprentice career. The analysis of nine months of participant observation data, most of which was collected by observing ironworkers throughout the construction of a twenty-one story office building, indicates four critical career stages that ironworker apprentices must successfully negotiate in their movement towards acceptance as trusted co-workers.Each of the career stages: sp…

Realism in Laboratory Simulation: Myth or Method
By asking the question What is it that makes an experiment 'realistic' ? we seek to recast previous discussions focused on versus artificiality. It is suggested that relationships between variables may vary under different experimental conditions. degree of realism is used as a means of identifying experimental characteristics. This analysis of the concept of realism provides a meaningful alternative for future synthesis of small group research, …

Social Requirements for Occupational Success: Internalized Norms and Friendship
Job performance ratings given by nursing supervisors to 48 hospital staff nurses working in three mid-western urban hospitals are examined in relation to (a) the extent to which nurses internalize norms held by their superiors, (b) their friendship with superiors, and (c) their friendship with peers. The general working hypothesis is that evaluations of subordinates are at least as likely to be associated with friendship choices as with internali…
