Truth and Goodness: Does the Sociology of Inequality Promote Social Betterment
The historical development of sociology is outlined, from (1) close ties with social reform in the early 20th century, to (2) the divorce of sociology from social reform in the 1930s through the 1960s, when the 'pure science' model dominated, to (3) the domination of the 'unmasking inequality' model since the 1970s. I argue for a 'reducing inequality' model. A content analysis of articles on inequality in three leading journals shows a shift in t…

Feminist Science: Methodologies that Challenge Inequality
The feminist goal of challenging inequality requires distinctive methods such as combining social action with research and using participatory approaches. These methods strengthen scientific standards of good evidence and open debate, but they conflict with elitism and careerism in academia and hence are rarely used. Nonhierarchical structures must be created

Changing Emotion Norms in Marriage: Love and Anger in U.S. Women's Magazines Since 1900
Throughout the twentieth century, women's magazines in the United States have socialized their readers to the 'proper' expression of love and anger in marriage. Our analysis of a random sample of marital advice articles from 1900 to 1979 examines this cultural convergence of gender, marriage, and emotion. A qualitative analysis identifies techniques for socializing readers to the emotional culture of marriage and shows a historical change toward …

Social Structure and Situations: The effects of Roles, Actions, and Situations on Interpersonal Perception
This study examines the structural and situational approaches to social action by analyzing the effects of roles, action, and situations on people's perceptions of others. College students were given questionnaires containing short descriptions of interaction between an adult and an adolescent boy. These questionnaires were designed to examine the effects of roles (malefemale and employer-parent), actions, and several concrete situations on two d…
What are Norms? A Study of Beliefs and Action in a Maya Community
What are Norms? challenges the traditional Parsonian theory of the basis of social order and proposes a theoretical perspective that emphasises shared definitions of reality rather than personal motivation. The book begins by describing conceptions of good and bad in a Maya community. Then it explores how such normative beliefs relate to the actions of individuals and the organisation of society. Parsons' theory is not supported by previous resea…

A second conclusion is that socio-cultural systems are most frequently in states of imbalance. Given a small structure like the natural triad, and given, for example, a fivestatus system, there are but ten types of natural triad in tension balance as against 20 in tension imbalance. Since the…

New Methods for Describing What People Think
Sociological research on what people think has been hampered by inadequate methods. These inadequacies are illustrated by Coleman's survey research and Burner's participant observation study. The ethnoscience approach in anthropology is developing improved methods for studying cognitive content, and the usefulness of these methods is illustrated by research on (1) wedding ceremonies, (2) kinship terminology and (3) norms and social change

Affection and Dominance in Zinacantan and Cambridge Families
Studies of family interaction in Zinacantan, Mexico and Cambridge, Massachusetts, are used to test four hypotheses: 1) affection elicits affection; 2) dominance elicits submission; 3) all group members will exhibit the same degree of affection, and 4) all group members will exhibit the same degree of dominance-submission. The data confirm the hypotheses on affection. Hypothesis 4 on dominance is confirmed if it is modified to apply only to unequa…
