    The RePass article (The Forum, Vol. 6, Issue 2, 2008), continues the tradition of writers using the National Election Survey data of defining "ideology" as the answer to the liberal-conservative self-labeling question, and fails to consider the structure of substantive public policy attitudes and values as a necessary indicator of ideology

  • Asking Why About Social Problems

    Allen H BartonARTICLEInternational Journal of Public…1995Cited by: 1References: 13

    In 'The Art of Asking Why' Paul Lazarsfeld (1935) pointed out the deficiency of simply asking people 'why' they did something, and developed the idea of accounting models to guide a much more extensive series of questions about reasons for action. A similar problem arises when people are asked 'why' about social phenomena like unemployment, poverty, inflation, or urban riots. A review of research asking people for their explanations of social pro…

    Allen H Barton, Ronald W Perry et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1988

    The first study of its kind to address the issue of ethnic diversity, Minority Citizens in Disasters focuses on the responses of two minorities-blacks and Mexican-Americans-relative to whites in three disaster events: a propane car derailment, a nitric acid spill, and a flood. Ronald Perry and Alvin Mushkatel find that response to initial warnings is influenced by the source of the information-mass media, public authorities, or family and friends…

Participation was fostered by elite education; membership i elite clubs; and growing up in northeastern, urban, and big-business families. Cultural origins (region and size of birthplace, parent's religion, and generation) also exerted…

    Open AccessAllen H BartonARTICLESocial Science History1979Cited by: 4References: 6

    The rise and fall of the Bureau of Applied Social Research, and the life of its founder and mentor, Paul Lazarsfeld should ideally be presented as a drama by Brecht, accompanied by the dissonant and jazzy music of pre-Nazi Central Europe, and its depression-time equivalent in the United States (from “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime” to “Happy Days are Here Again!”). The concept of the university applied social research organization (all the adjecti…
