  • Concern for God and Concern for Society: Religiosity and Social Justice

    Evans W Curry, Jerome R Koch et al.ARTICLESociological Spectrum2004Cited by: 2References: 20

    This paper adds to the integration of sociology of religion and social stratification by bringing together work in social justice from sociology of religion and economic issues from social stratification. The research focuses on the narrower topic of attitudes toward economic justice. Specifically, it focuses on the contributions of both religiosity and religious affiliation to such attitudes. The contributions of the religious components are ass…

  • Partial Paradigm Shifts in the Social Sciences: Twenty Years of Research in Rural Sociology3

    Open AccessJ Steven Picou, Evans W Curry et al.ARTICLERural Sociology1990Cited by: 6References: 17

    Falk and Zhao (1989) have recently suggested that increased theoretical diversity characterizes the last decade of published research in Rural Sociology. We suggest that this claim is premature, given paradigmatic trends in the larger discipline of sociology. From a reanalysis of data sources and the use of an analytical framework based on the partial paradigm concept, we conclude that rural sociology is attempting to further integrate theory, me…

  • The Changing Association between Age and Happiness: Emerging Trend or Methodological Artifact

    David D Witt, George D Lowe et al.ARTICLESocial Forces1980Cited by: 2

    The negative association between age and happiness displayed by over two decades of studies has shifted to positive in recent research. However, parallel changes in sampling techniques, measurement strategies, and use of control variables in recent research suggest that the shift may be more artifactual than actual. Data from seventeen national polls between 1948 and 1977—comparable to the research period on age and happiness—were used to examine…
