Current Perspectives on Aging and the Life Cycle
Selective Attention in Emotionally Disturbed/Behavior-Disordered Children
Hagen's Central-Incidental Task was administered to 27 emotionally disturbed/behavior disordered students, ages 9 to 13 yr., and 27 normal peers. Subjects were matched on chronological age, sex, and race. There were no significant differences in performance between the handicapped group and their normal peers on three measures—central task, incidental task, and efficiency of selective attention. In addition, no significant developmental trends we…
Invisible Lives
Unruh applies the concept of the social world to the understanding of the social integration of older people. Social worlds are shared sets of perceptions, of which membership is very informal. The social life of older people in the art world, for example, often goes unseen by social workers and researchers. Unruh systematically explores the uses made by older people of social worlds and considers how the helping professions can use the concept t…

Personal Conceptions of Social Integration among the Aging
Much of the research on the aging and other marginal or quasi-marginal groups has relied upon "objective" measures of social integration. This article focuses on the subjective conceptions developed by the aging themselves and the ways by which these "maps" help them plan, interpret, and evaluate their ties into society. Because of their emerging self-consciousness regarding their place in society, the aging may become everyday experts and practi…
The Territorial Experience
Death and Personal History
A major concern of those who study bereavement and survivorship is the reintegration of survivors into society. Implicit in this research is the notion that emotional attachment of survivor to deceased may continue for long periods of time after separation through death. This paper examines how the emotional attachment of survivor to deceased is socially accomplished. Before they die, people interpret and apportion cues to their personal identiti…

Is There a Sociology of Death
Amateurs
The Nature of Social Worlds
The notion of social worlds is used here to refer to a form of social organization which cannot be accurately delineated by spatial, territorial, formal, or membership boundaries. Rather, boundaries of social worlds must be determined by interaction and communication which transcend and cross over the more formal and traditional delineators of organization. The term social world is used here to develop a common referent for a number of related co…
Characteristics And Types Of Participation In Social Worlds
The concept of social world is given greater analytical power by categorizing differential participation through a typology of social types-strangers, tourists, regulars, and insiders. These trans-situational social types are examined in terms of their commitment, relationships, experiences, and orientation to social worlds. Social worlds are also discussed in terms of three qualities of interaction-relevance, accessibility, and receptivity
Influencing Common Sense Interpretations Of An Urban Setting
This paper attempts to make explicit the process and strategies by which one urban setting (a freeway coffee shop) attempts to guide, influence, and direct the interpretations of passersby. In this way, we might begin to see how urban settings and organizations construct and manage impressions which facilitate the codification schemes of urbanites. Finally, the approach suggested in this paper is one which will hopefully contribute to the broader…
Doing Funeral Directing
The Funeralization Process
This paper attempts to describe, categorize, and analyze interactions between social actors and the temporal aspects of a specific social occasion. The burial process, as a social occasion, necessitates the coordination and management of social time between individuals, institutions, and the functionaries of death. In the analysis a temporal "model" is constructed whereby interactions between social actors and the temporal components may be categ…
