The importance of social context influences on new farm technology sustainability: Community and sub-community characteristics in Jamaica
Community Solidarity, Political Competitiveness, and Social Rigidity: Relationships With Social and Health Services1
Previous work suggests that solidarity, political competitiveness, and rigidity influence the nature of social and economic change. Hypotheses that these three phenomena affect social well-being at the institutional level of the community beyond the effects of basic socioeconomic and population characteristics are examined in this study. Using data from a sample of North Carolina county-seat communities, a regression analysis with six controls in…

Differentiation of Family Structure and Family Relative Centrality in a Rural Peruvian Community: A Diachronic Analysis
This research analyzes household structure and interfamily networks. The claims by Young and Young (I 968) that an increase in a family's relative centrality in a communal network will lead to an increase in household differentiation (household complexity) is put, to a test. The findings deny the efficacy of their hypothesis, but indicate a tendency in the opposite direction. Family household differentiation of time one is positively related to r…
Teaching Introductory Sociology: An Exploratory Experience Making Use of Senior Undergraduate Majors
mental instructional program. While the results indicate little or no increased learning over the control group, the experimental use of undergraduates yields high satisfaction among the students and acceptance of undergraduates in this role. Follow-up studies for the five semesters subsequent to the original trial indicate little experimental effect. At most, the results encourage the utilization and further careful study, of senior undergraduat…
Determining Point-Centrality in Uncontrived Social Networks
Family Solidarity and Quality of Life in an Agricultural Peruvian Community
Two-Hundred and eighty families in a rural Peruvian community sample are examined with regard to their organizational solidarity. A Guttman Scale of Family Solidarity is developed and an investigation of the relationship between organizational solidarity of the family and several quality of life measures is carried out. The latter include Guttman scales of current Complexity of House Construction, Household Possessions, and Health Practices, as w…
