Group Interaction as Therapy
Involvement in Deviance
Recent research on group sex or “swinging” has revealed that a significant number of married, middle-class, suburbanite conformists have become involved in this practice. The social characteristics of these participants raises a question concerning how it is possible for them to engage in this form of deviance.

However, an analysis of jokes concerning social and economic differences as revealed by anthologies of wit and humor demonstrate that their primary function is not conflict. On the contrary, such jokes function as control mechanisms expressing the common value system and minim…
