Aerobic exercise, subjective health and psychological well-being within age and gender subgroups
Has there been a resurgence of racist attitudes in the general population
Two somewhat conflicting images of racism in the United States are examined. One view, based on current media reports, states that racist incidents have increased. The other, based on social science survey data, notes a steady decline in prejudicial attitudes over time. This study notes points of convergence and divergence in these views. Using General Social Survey data (1972–1989), white attitudes toward blacks are examined into the most recent…
Adjustment to Stepfatherhood: The Effects of Marital History and Relations with Children
Marital history and characteristics of stepchildren were viewed as factors ,which influence adjustment to step- fatherhood. It was hypothesized that marital history affected the amount of conflict present in the relationship between the stepfather and his stepchildren. Characteristics of the stepchildren were viewed as factors which allowed stepfathers to successfully handle potential conflict. Using a sample of stepfathers who were married in 19…
The perceived control of well-educated women: 1972–1984
From 1972 to 1984 women's social status changed as ore worked outside the home and family ties loosened. How did their own attitudes change? Did they feel greater power? Did they feel greater mastery? Polls of 567 women in 1972 and 548 women in 1984 respond to these questions. The study found that perceived mastery, but not power, was higher for many types of women in 1984 than in 1972. Also, in 1972 there were differences in perceived control am…
Friendship as a Voluntary Relationship: Evidence from National Surveys
This paper focuses on voluntary friendships. Drawing from Fischer's (1975) subcultural theory of urbanism, it is hypothesized that voluntary interaction with friends will be characteristic of individuals who live in urban areas. Friendship is also expected to be characteristic of high-SES, young, unmarried and childless individuals. An underlying rationale is that friendship occurs when individuals are relatively free from obligatory ties, duties…
Effects of urbanism, race, and class on happiness and physical health
The joint effects of urbanism, race, and socioeconomic status on self reported health and happiness are studied. Relationships of “neighborhood fear” and unemployment with health and happiness are also studied within different urban/rural race‐class categories. It is hypothesized that 1) lower socioeconomic status (SES) blacks residing in central cities will report the poorest health and lowest happiness and 2) “neighborhood fear” and unemploymen…
Friendship in Three Metropolitan Areas: Cross-Cultural Evidence of Its Voluntariness
Friendship is viewed as a relationship which is based on voluntariness. It is pre dicted that people who are highly urban, high SES, young, and unmarried will be involved with friends because they are relatively free from obligations and con straints on their behavior. Data from Los Angeles, U.S.A.; London, England; and Sydney, Australia indicate that age is the best predictor of voluntary friendship. Level of urbanism and SES are not at all rela…
Urbanism and social psychological well-being: A test of three theories
Determinist theory predicts that in urban areas there is a deterioration of primary relationships, which leads to a reduction in social psychological well‐being. Compositional theory argues that status variables, not urbanism, account for levels of well‐being. Subcultural theory holds that urbanism lowers well‐being, despite the presence of viable subcultures which sustain primary relationships. Using pooled data from national samples of the Unit…
Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being
Using data from London, England; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney, Australia, several hypotheses about the relationships between kinship interaction, social status, and subjective well-being are developed. It is found that social statuses are generally not correlated with interaction with kin. Interaction with immediate kin is positively correlated with overall well-being and marriage well-being, although it is more strongly correlated with th…
Interaction with Kin, Social-Status, and Well-Being Cross-Cultural Evidence from Males
Statlis and Voluntary Associations: A Cross-Cliltliral Study of Males in Three Metropolitan Areas
Marriage Companionship and Marriage Well-being: A Comparison of Metropolitan areas in Three Countries
The relationship between eight marriage companionship activities and marriage well-being is studied in Sydney, Australia, in Los Angeles, California, and in London, England. Exchange theory is used to predict that the more frequently married males share companionship, the greater their marriage well-being will be. Joint activities are expected to relate to marriage well-being more strongly than are parallel activities. Joint activities are found …
Symptoms of Readiness for Divorce: Evidence from Metropolitan Areas in Three Countries
George Levinger's analysis of marital cohesion is used to define and evaluate attitudes and feelings toward marriage, and marriage arguments as symptoms of readiness for divorce. Data from London, England; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney and Perth, Australia indicate that status variables are very poor predictors of symptoms and account for very little variance in symptoms. Social interactional and social psychological variables that measure …
Urbanism and Social Psychological Well-Being: A Cross-Cultural Test of Three Theories
Three competing theories of how urbanism affects social-psychological well-being are tested using data from London, England; Los Angeles, California; and Sydney, Australia. Path analyses are conducted using visiting friends, visiting kin, and marriage companionship in the different paths. It is found that determinist theory can be rejected because most-urban people do not have fewer social relations than less-urban people; in fact, they may have …
Dominant Statuses and Involvement in Types of Instrumental and Expressive Voluntary Associations
Wife's Statuses and Husband-Wife Companionship in an Australian Metropolitan Area
Industrialization and urbanization have increased the companionship function of families. This study assumes that companionship among married couples varies according to the social status of the wife. It is predicted that a couple's mutual participation increases as socioeconomic status and urban background increase, but that it decreases with age and length of marriage. Using a suburban Australian sample the hypotheses are supported in that high…
Dominant Statuses and Involvement in Formal Voluntary Associations
Some Suggestions about the Transitory-Permanence Dimension of Organizations
The literature about organizations focuses on those of the permanent variety and tends to ignore temporary or transitory associations of either the voluntary or non-voluntary type. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of 'transitory organizations' and to suggest some differences between transitory and more permanent organizations.' The ideas presented were engendered by some observations made by the author while participatin…
Metropolis in Crisis: Social and Political Perspectives
Ethnic Patterns of Friendship
Ethnic Generation and Family Structure
Patterns of Social Participation in a Two-Generation Sample of Italian-Americans
A STRIKNG feature of the social participation literature is the tendency to concentrate on one type of activity. For example, studies dealing with formal organizations have described the character of such groups and their participants. Studies of friendship participation have traced the patterns of friendships and the type of people who are attracted to each other as friends. Consequently, few sociologists have focused their attention upon a ques…
